Hello fellow linux users.

I have just set up a server to connect to the internet for  the machines on
my LAN.
I have a problem with the ppp connection though.
It sends data to modem because the RX and TX lights come up on the modem but
after that it does not do anything.
I have done the following things to try to get it to work:
1) Reinstall RedHat Linux
2) Try 2 different ports ( same thing happens)
3) Tried 2 different modems ( same thing happens)
4)set up the connection 5000000000000000000 times

Please try and help.
Thanks so much, Mark

ps: I have had a modem connect to the internet successfully on that machine.
I run redhat linux 6.1
