Configure Mozilla 1.6 for Web Browsing

[Andrea Giuliano]

This could help you (and us): start a terminal and, as root, issue this 
command:

# tail -f /var/log/messages

Then start, or restart PPP in the way you are used to, and in the 
meanwhile take a look to the output of the above command. You should see 
some lines with the string "ppp" somewhere. If you see, among these 
lines, something like "...IP address: X.Y.Z.W...", you should be 
actually connected to your ISP. Look also for a line like the previous 
one, but which explicitly refers to "DNS", or "Domain name service" or 
something like this.

Clearly, you could also examine /var/log/messages offline, instead of in 
real-time, if you prefer. Looking at it during a PPP session is more 
impressive, imho.

Good luck!
