Internet connection woes
After much struggleling, I finally managed to get Corel Linux 1.0 onto the internet. To my dismay, it seems that even after I dialed in and connected to my ISP, I cannot access anything with Netscape. It is definitley NOT a DNS problem. Even without the proper DNS, shouldn't I be able to ping a IP address? Well, that doesn't work. What could be the problem?
It sounds like you don't have a default route set up. Try adding "defaultroute" to your /etc/ppp/options file.
if you type route -n and can't see a "0.0.0.0" entry, this is definately your problem.

Sorry, tzanger, but adding "default route to the options didn't do anything. Also, there was a 0.0.0.0 entry, however, it was binded to eth0. Shouldn't it be binded to ppp0? How would I change the eth0 to ppp0? Any more suggestions?

Thanks, tzanger, you helped me through this one. I did not completely follow your directions, but I deleted one of the eth0 entries. I had to do this because if I logged onto the internet and typed route, the console would freeze up. Still, after I deleted one of the eth0 entries, the internet worked. Thanks, anyways.
