That would really make the boss jealous! Anyhow, when i run my ifconfing ppp0, after doing /etc/init.d/net.ppp0 start, it looks like this: ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol POINTOPOINT NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1400 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:3 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) I see no inet entries like i think i should, and if i do: route add -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev ppp0 is says the interface doesn't exist!! What am I doing wrong here? I'd be glad to talk to someone on IRC (I'm karleeto 24/7) and in a return email.
