    Hi,
    I just installed sarge on my machine, just disconnected the harddrives
    and installed a
    fresh new one for trialing so have no worries with partitions or windows
    getting in the way.
    The idea is to move away from windows altogether at a later stage though
    my laptop will always
    be xp as network & modem are not supported.

    anyways I had given debian a go when woody came out a fair while back
    now and had the same sort
    of problem I am having now. I use kppp to dialup, and after working out
    modem is ttyS0 dials up alright
    but cannot ping anything or surf anything. I vaguely remembered that if
    I ifdown eth0 it all works fine.
    how can I make them play together. at this stage it's fine as I am still
    mucking around but in the
    near future I want to be able to network the various machines I have up
    together and still be able to dialup
    and surf/mail on this computer and later apt update the other machines
    through this as a gateway.

    also I wanted to get pon working how do I configure the provider
    settings to set number,user,pass etc.
    It's been so long and brief fling with woody that I have forgotten what
    the commands are to configure all the bits and pieces..

    I am impressed by the new installer. everything seems to work out of the
    box this time :)

    cheers for your help

    Haldor
