My internet connection has been through the Windows 2000 computer with ICS enabled.
With this setup I can use browsers in the X window system, ping, and traceroute. Everything goes through the network and to the internet via the W2K machine.
Now, I want to try to turn off the Windows internet connection and try out the Linux machine as the dial-up interface to the Internet.
So far I have got wvdial to connect to my ISP, but after that I don't seem to have any more functionality.
I switch to another terminal, and I try to ping or traceroute, but neither works.
My lan interface has a fixed IP, but my modem dial-up uses a dynamic IP.
Can someone tell me where to begin looking for what needs to be fixed, so that I can choose to log on with the Linux machine as my connection to the internet?
Thanks,
