The ISP is Bell-Sympatico (Canada), and they you mean you can connect? can you ping their gateway ip. domain resolution is done via dns. You need to add the dns server address they provide to your /etc/resolv.conf file by hand, or run your own dnscache. i guess PPPoE only provides a gateway address which is handled by add default HISADDR below. > are completely unwilling to help me, or provide > software that will accommodate *nix systems sounds like SBC > specifically.
