Just got back into town after the New Year's Holiday so I appologize if this is too old; however, this is a similar problem I had, and I never got it resolved! My dial up would a) start, b) remain connected for what seemed a random period of time, and c) mysteriously lose the ability to see the Internet despite still being connected. It was very frustrating. The default gateway was correctly added to the routing table though I noticed when it was working, the gateway would appear as its proper DNS FQDN while it would revert just to the IP value at the point it had quit working. I was never able to trace the source of the trouble though. All I ended up doing was hanging up and dialing again. I had better, more durable/stable connections at night, but if anyone can figure out the issue here, I'd be curious. I don't use dialup anymore, but you never know...

That's strange, 192.168.1.3 is the IP of my IPCop box but I am pinging from my Linux box whose IP is 192.168.1.1 > >ifconfig shows that ppp0 gets created after the ppp connection is made >to my ISP and ps shows that pppd is running. > >I know that it's not a problem with my >ISP because I can use my Windoze box to connect, that's how I can post >this message. > >Since I have not been able to get IPCop working I am still running >shorewall on my Linux box.
