internet configuration wizard

[captndan]

I have successfully installed RH 7.3 Am unable to dial in to the ISP. Have checked user name, password, etc. all correct. Connection wizard only says " device activating" please wait. Any ideas? Thanx, captndan (using old IBM and windows for this message)

what modem do you have? internal/external? Is it supported? What ISP? not AOL is it?

Without more info, all I can offer is the article Troubleshooting ISP Connection Problems (http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2001/05/10/ppp.html).

Thanx for the reply. The machine is a Toshiba 3005-s307 with internal modem by Toshiba. Model unknown.

I don't know is that would be ISA or PCI. If pci, this should work.

Try opening an xterminal and commandingcat/proc/pciLook for a line similar to this: Bus 2, device 2, function 0:
Communication controller: PCI device 151f:0000 (TOPIC SEMICONDUCTOR Corp) (rev 0).
IRQ 9.
I/O at 0xc400 [0xc407].This gives the irq (9) and the port (0xc400). Now, using that information, become root and do setserial by:
[phil@fancypiper phil]$ su -
Password:
[root@fancypiper root]# setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 9 port 0xc400 uart 16550aSee if the internet config wiz works. If it does, add that line to /etc/rc.d/rc.local and it will be configured on reboot.
