Lines: 35 Message-ID: <4t5r64$fd8@bolivia.it.earthlink.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: max1-rs-ca-19.earthlink.net X-Newsreader: Forte Free Agent 1.0.82 I have been really trying to get my PPP conection to my ISP to work. I have been unsuccessful. I have read the handboook on PPP Connections. I believe everything is ok in the sysconfig, hosts, networks, and resolv.conf files. I seem to always get a timeout from my routed network. My ISP is earthlink. So I belive my gateway is 206.85.98.2, but the IP address assigned to me is dynamic. So in my ppp.linkup file I have: MYADDR: add 0 0 HISADDR #end ppp.linkup In my ppp.conf I have . . . login .... . set timeout 120 set ifaddr 0 0 # For dynamic allocated IP ? #end ppp.conf After awhile the network is removed from the routing table because of a timeout and the modem hangsup. I was never able to ping the ISP gatway or anything outside of my network. Question: Is it not possible to connect to the internet without any formal IP address or domain name? I am try to do the impossible? Any Suggestions? Robert Gonzales Always trying accomplish the impossible...
