THANKYOU JDOW! *kisses* Ok, I went to the ifcfg-earthlink file and made the following changes: (basically I made it match the ifcfg-seanet file) # Please read /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt # for the documentation of these parameters. ONBOOT=no USERCTL=yes PEERDNS=yes TYPE=Modem DEVICE=ppp1 BOOTPROTO=dialup (The below I was playing with and were all off before) AC=off (was on) BSDCOMP=off (was on) VJCCOMP=off (was on) CCP=off (was on) PC=off (was on) VJ=off (was on) LINESPEED=115200 MODEMPORT=/dev/ttyS4 PROVIDER=Earthlink (I'll assume it was this line. What does it do anyway?) DEFROUTE=yes (was no) (And what is this?) PERSIST=yes (was no) PAPNAME='ELN/lokrin2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' (didn't have ELN/ prefix) WVDIALSECT=Earthlink MODEMNAME=Modem0 DEMAND=no IPV6INIT=no (was yes) IDLETIMEOUT=600
