ive used a ppp script, diald and the x ppp dialers all with the same result.

 Look at your routing tables, do they look right? Take a sneak peek at the

 You said you can ping, but can you use lynx to get to the site?
lynx says http request sent waiting for response

HRMMMM!
i tried to activate ppp0 through netcfg and in the term window it said 
"failed to activate /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0"
I checked the directory and it wasn't there.
isn't it supposed to be installed automatically with pppd?
if not anyone know where i can get a look at a copy of it so i can try it out?
