<P><FONT SIZE=2>Have you tried pinging some ip addresses and domain names? The IP Address of the ISP's DNS server would be a good place to start. If you can ping ip addresses but no domain names then you have a DNS problem.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>I did a RH8 install on a 800MHz celeron for my cousin and had the PCtel </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>modem working okay at first but tried to implement another dialer, one </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> that wouldn't require root password, and was successful with that but </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>had to use an external modem. Now, he's loaded linux on another machine </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>and is using the external modem on that one, so I'm back to trying to </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>make the winmodem run again. I can get it to dial up and log in to </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>the isp but nothing more. Not sure but think it's just that it's not </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>establishing the default route to the internet. Either that, or it's </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>the ppp daemon not working.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Any clues as to where to start? Or how can I manually establish default </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>route?</FONT>
