Hi Friends:
Thank you Ray for you very helpful posts. Network Manager on Fedora 14 does not work for me (despite it working for others). So I found your posts here and tried them. I am able to connect with success (albeit sometimes having to unplug and reconnect the UML290 device).
The problem I'm having is that after I connect and a "ppp0" interface is created (see below), and entries are added to the routing table (again see below), and with no entries made to /etc/resolv.conf (again see below), I cannot actually connect to the internet.
See the following outputs ...

So, in review, I can't ping the remote IP address "69.83.13.52". I can only ping the local
IP address. I must say the routing table looks strange, but maybe P-t-P works this
way in routing tables. Also, why no entry into resolv.conf? Hmm.
Do you get similar output in your working case? And any ideas?
Thanks,
Noel
