My ppp connection (using plain pppd) is working just fine, but I can only acsess it as root, here is an example
| Code: | brendan 14:34:23 <brendan>$ ping google.com
ping: unknown host google.com
brendan 14:34:26 <brendan>$ su
Password:
root@taku 14:35:28 </home/brendan> $ ping google.com
PING google.com (216.239.39.99) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 216.239.39.99: icmp_seq=1 ttl=236 time=219 ms
64 bytes from 216.239.39.99: icmp_seq=2 ttl=236 time=178 ms
--- google.com ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 2 received, 33% packet loss, time 2001ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 178.972/199.269/219.566/20.297 ms

Sounds like a little problem I once had.
Check the permissions of your /etc/resolv.conf
I had the same problem as you have when this file was only readable by root (it contains the IPs of the dns-servers to use) |
