Hi everyone,
I've got an FIC 460 laptop with an internal 56k modem which I can get working with the ltmodem driver for my kernel and I've now bought a Xircom ethernet card.I installed M8.2 and it picked up my xircom no sweat but when I installed the modem drivers and tried to connect all I got was a connection but no actual interaction between the modem and the internet i.e. neither my browser or mail program would actually connect to a server - if you follow me.
Now i had set up the ethernet addresses and gateway etc - is this my problem?Does the pppd expect connection via the gateway i have set up rather than through the modem?Should I disable the xircom card and set up my default internet connection through the modem instead?
I got the card as I want to set up a home network but haven't found the time to do it yet so the modem is my first line of connection.
please excuse this garbled explanation as I know what i mean but fail to put it easily into coherent sentences.
Any help would be much appreciated.
