Hi, |

I am trying to help my father install gentoo on a new computer (I am |
4 |
across the ocean). We have a problem with the internet connection. He |
5 |
has an adsl account. He runs pppoe-start, and it says that he is |
6 |
connected. ifconfig shows that ppp0 is up, and gives an ip address. |
7 |
However, I can't ping that address (I get 100% packet loss). He also |
8 |
can't ping any address. |

We called the ISP, and from their side it seems that he is connected, |
11 |
and everything is fine. I don't know where else to look. The log |
12 |
messages showed in the beginning messages of the form |
13 |
|

LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests |
15 |
|
16 |
but they seem to no longer appear. As I said, I don't even know where to |
17 |
start looking for the problem. Any help is appreciated. |
