I am too young to know the details of dial-up, but going on the assumption |
| 29 |
that it uses DHCP or something similar, that last line is definitely a |
| 30 |
problem. In order for packets to reach an outside network, they need to |
| 31 |
know where to go. This may be your local router or a router from your ISP. |
| 32 |
Regardless of the configuration, with a gateway of 0.0.0.0, any packets |
| 33 |
with a destination on the internet will never get there. Because you |
| 34 |
experience this problem under both Gentoo and Ubuntu, it sounds like an |
| 35 |
issue elsewhere. Does the other computer on your LAN have a problem |
| 36 |
accessing the internet? |
