[ILUG] Mandrake 7.2 & ISDN connection to Eircom.net

[Paul Askins]

Hi,

This sounds somewhat similar to the problem I had last week, couldn't connect
to web sites, couldn't ping.  After you connect do a netstat -nr to see if you
have a default gateway.  If it is different from the remote ip assigned to you
then you need to change it.  You can see the remote ip in /var/log/messages and
you can change it with
route add default gw X.X.X.X ppp0
maybe ppp0 will be something else for ISDN connections, I don't know since I
don't have ISDN but the rest might be of some help.  

Paul.

 Hi,
 
 I'm trying to get Mandrake 7.2 to connect to Eircom.net via my Eicon ISDN 
 (internal) adapter. I can connect to both Oceanfree and to the free Eircom 
 service, but I can't get the connection to the Eircom subscription service 
 working (the 1891 number). When I use DrakConf to connect to Eircom, it says 
 that I'm connected to the internet, but trying to access a web page in 
 Konqueror or Netscape just hangs. Trying to ping www.eircom.net hangs as 
 well. When I go into DrakConf again to disconnect, then I get the 
 "unresolved host name" error messages.
 
 Does anyone know how to fix this?
 
 Thanks,
 
 Derek.

I started out with nothing... I still have most of it.
