[Aslug] Unable to connect to Net

[Adrian Casey]

Hi Vinod,

After your ppp connection is up, type 'ifconfig -a' to verify that you have a 
ppp0 interface running.  If so, then try to ping a specific IP address - 
perhaps your ISP.

Have you defined a DNS server in /etc/resolv.conf?  Make sure that you have 
the correct IP address defined for your ISP's DNS service.  Also, make sure 
that you don't have a firewall rule preventing all IP traffic over your ppp 
interface.  To check this, type '/etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables status' and 
confirm that you don't have a rule defined which is dropping all packets to 
and from your ppp interface.

Hope this helps.
Regards,
Adrian Casey.
