Type Dialup.kdelnk. 3. Click the icon and select an icon to represent the application; then click OK (There is one called kppp that you can use.) 4. Click the Execute tab and then type kppp into the Execute box. Click OK. 5. An icon called Dialup appears on your KDE desktop. Click it to open the kppp window. Then select your ISP from the Connect box and click Connect to start your PPP connection. From this point forward, icons will appear on your desktop that you can select to immediately connect to your ISP over the dial-up connection you configured. Both GNOME and KDE support drag-and-drop, so you can drag the dial-up icon to the desktop to make it even more easily available. Checking your PPP connection To debug your PPP connection or simply to better understand how it works, you can run through the steps below. They will help you understand where information is being stored and how tools can be used to track this information. Check that your PPP interface is working One way to do this is with the ping command. From the Terminal window, type ping along with any Internet address you know. For example: $ ping www.handsonhistory.com PING handsonhistory.com (198.60.22.8) from 192.168.0.43 : 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from handsonhistory.com (198.60.22.8): icmp_seq=0 ttl=240 time=120 msec 64 bytes from handsonhistory.com (198.60.22.8): icmp_seq=1 ttl=240 time=116 msec 64 bytes from handsonhistory.com (198.60.22.8): icmp_seq=2 ttl=240 time=120 msec — www.handsonhistory.com ping statistics — 4 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 25% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/mdev = 116.816/119.277/120.807/1.779 ms Press Ctrl+C to end the ping command. The lines above show the responses from http://www.handsonhistory.com/. It sent back packets from the IP address 198.60.22.8 in response to each one it received. You can see the sequence of packets (icmp_seq) and the time it took for each response (in milliseconds). If you receive packets in return, you will know two things: first, that your connection is working, and second, that your name to address translation (from the DNS addresses in /etc/resolv.conf) is working. Check the default route Check that the default route is set using the route -n command. # /sbin/route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 198.62.1.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 198.62.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0
