Hello
I installed successfully the sagem 800 modem(at least thats what i think) following the tuto , but most tutorials dont talk further how to setup the internet connection after the modem is set up, like dns. routing etc…
I am using Fedora 5 2.6.15-prep, installed it from source, here is a list of some command i type…
root@localhost ~]# route

grep ppd /var/log/messages gives :

This shows that the modem is workin, the sync also, the ppp0setup etc, the problem i cant surf the internet, and even when i ping ips on the internet it doesnt work, i can ping only my ip and the remote ip,(dynamicaly set by the ISP), ips in the range of the isp network… cant even ping the dns ip since its different from the remote ip range… i hope i am making sense here.
Also i already turned off the SElinux and turned on the named service…
PLEASE help , i dont know where to look anymore… thanks
