Here's a weird one.
I've just installed a base Debian 2.2 system, with the intent of adding packages one by one using apt-get, so I can keep track of what's been installed. I've configured my internal hardware modem on /dev/ttyS2, and configured ppp (with pppconfig) to dial up to my ISP.
But...when I dial up and a connection has been established, I'm rather limited in what I can do. I can ping remote hosts all right (proving that I really am on the internet), and I can ftp just fine, but I can't browse the web!
links fetches the first few hundred bytes (if I'm lucky) of any web page I'm trying to look at, and then gives up. (Same goes for lynx and wget.)
I'm posting this using Mandrake 8.2 on the same box, with the same modem and the same ISP, so I know they can work. I'd really like to get them working on Debian, though.
If it helps in the diagnosis at all, ifconfig reports that I'm getting an unhealthily large number of frame errors on received packets - but only when I'm trying to browse the web.
Any ideas?
