Hello. 

I am trying to get my dial-up Internet connection working since I
currently do not have broadband service (used to). I am using KDE v3.3.1's
kppp to set up my dial-up Internet connection with EarthLink (ELN). I am a
newbie to Linux, so I might be missing or overlooking something. DNS is
automatic since I want ELN to provide the information automatically. I 
can connect, but I cannot get anywhere on the Internet.

/etc/resolv.conf seems to be updating correctly with domain earthlink.net 
and nameservers (207.69.188.187 and 207.69.188.186) when I am online.

In another terminal window to test dial-up network basics like pings:
