I'm going to try to get this in here with better format at least I cannot read it so here is
another try .... I don't understand why mail messes it up but i hat it right when it went on
the page before .. here goes
$ /sbin/ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU: 3924 Metric:1
RX packets:105 errors:0 dropped:o overruns:0 frame:0
TX Packets:105 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
ppp0 Link encap:Point-toPoint Protocol
inet addr:205.232.68.9 P-t-P:207.232.65.1 Mask:255.255.255.255
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1514 Metric:1
RX packets:7 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:61 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
Collisions:0 txqueuelen:10
$
Kernel IP routing table
destination Gateway Genmask
207.132.65.1 * 255.255.255.255
127.0.0.0 * 225.0.0.0
default 207.232.65.1 0.0.0.0
Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
UH 0 0 0 ppp0
U 0 0 0 lo
UG 0 0 0 ppp0
Ok this is easier to read and maybe mail will not disconfigure it but for some reason it is
losing my tabs i must have the width set wrong or something like that i don't know. Any how if
it's wrong when I get it back i will fix it again.
Oh if anyone wants to know this is the output of "ifconfig and route
Thanks
