Can't get KPPP to work for dial-up Internet connection...

I'm using earthlink, too with slackware 10.
If you can connect to it and it updates dns correctly then, it's pretty
much success at hand shaking all that, you shouldbe able to use it.
unless you got firewall ruling is up or something and hinders it. I see
you got a few network interfaces. try different local number or
something, you know

another thing, I'm recently experiencing things get dropped in the middle
of online session or even beginning of session. I don't mean line, line
still is connected but it just not working. got dropped in game, can't
explore the web. I just reconnect to earthlink for that events. this is
last month I'm using earthlink, i terminated the membership. I thought
they do that purposely, cuz i'm heavy internet user with dial up. I've
been downloading dial up with bsd cd images all that. link's up almost
24/7 :)

well good luck, I know it works with linux. Cuz I'm using earthlink with
it ;)

earthlink dns: 207.69.188.185 to 187

type "route" or "route -n"
look for * or 0.0.0.0 for destination, address below gateway is the
default gateway address

i'm pretty sure there's a way, cuz that 192.168.0.220 is only for eth0
interface, and there should different one for ppp0 when connected to
dialup. I'm thinking you're talking about configuring the system as linux
box. so your small lan can talk to internet through that system. ip
forwarding

Do you have the same problem with kinternet?

Excellent. Your "replacedefaultroute" suggestion worked! Thanks! Now, I
need to configure guarddog to stay secured online. Oy, apt-get is SOOOO
slow!

Adding replacedefaultroute to the bottom worked. :)

Try wvdial from a terminal ...

Those are ELN's nameservers and shouldn't change on connection.
