index | next in thread | raw e-mail
Right now i'm using another computer that has aol, but anyway, i've been
trying to connect to the internet for a long time with bsd. I have no idea
what to do, I read all of the faq's at your website and in the book that came
with my bsd. I wanted to connect to earthlink with bsd, but i just can't
seem to do it. Is there anyway someone can help me, either with a reply to
this or if there is a number i can call or whatever, I just need help.
Please get back to me as soon as possible, because right now I'm on a very
slow computer and i really want to get familiar with unix, thanks for your
time.
Every time I try to use the PPP Dialup Utility, when I am in xinit, it says
"The pppd daemon died unexpectedly." What is the problem? Is there
something I need to configure or what?
I have been trying to run the ppp dialup utility as root, but it still
doesn't work. what do i do? here is how my configuration looks....
