How to check the connection

Once you’ve set up a PPP connection, there are some steps you can take to test the connection. First, type:

/sbin/ifconfig

(The folder ifconfig may be located elsewhere, depending on your distribution.) You should be able to see all the network interfaces that are UP. ppp0 should be one of them, and you should recognize the first IP address as your own, and the “P-t-P address” (or point-to-point address) the address of your server. Here’s what it looks like on one machine:

lo	Link encap Local Loopback
	inet addr 127.0.0.1 Bcast 127.255.255.255		Mask 255.0.0.0
	UP LOOPBACK RUNNING	MTU 2000	Metric 1
	RX packets 0 errors 0 dropped 0 overrun 0
ppp0	Link encap Point-to-Point Protocol
	inet addr 192.76.32.3 P-t-P 129.67.1.165		Mask 255.255.255.0
	UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING	MTU 1500	Metric 1

RX packets 33 errors 0 dropped 0 overrun 0

TX packets 42 errors 0 dropped 0 overrun 0

Now, type:

ping z.z.z.z

where z.z.z.z is the address of your name server. This should work. Here’s what the response could look like:

waddington:~$p ping 129.67.1.165

PING 129.67.1.165 (129.67.1.165): 56 data bytes

64 bytes from 129.67.1.165: icmp_seq=0 ttl=225 time=268 ms

64 bytes from 129.67.1.165: icmp_seq=1 ttl=225 time=247 ms

64 bytes from 129.67.1.165: icmp_seq=2 ttl=225 time=266 ms ^C

--- 129.67.1.165 ping statistics ---

3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 247/260/268 ms waddington:~$

Try typing:

netstat -nr

This should show three routes, something like this:
Kernel routing table
Destination	Gateway	Genmask	Flags	Metric	Ref	Use
iface
129.67.1.165	0.0.0.0	255.255.255.255	UH	0	0	6
ppp0
127.0.0.0	0.0.0.0	255.0.0.0	U	0	0	0 lo
0.0.0.0	129.67.1.165	0.0.0.0	UG	0	0	6298
ppp0

If your output looks similar but doesn’t have the destination 0.0.0.0 line (which refers to the default route used for connections), you may have run pppd without the ‘defaultroute’ option. At this point you can try using Telnet, ftp, or finger, bearing in mind that you’ll have to use numeric IP addresses unless you’ve set up /etc/resolv.conf correctly.
