Determining my ISP's IP address
WMD:
Aloone, if you're using dialup, you only need to set it to "loopback only". Oh wait, that's Slackware...if it's asking you this for a ppp connection, use DHCP.
solarismka:
just use my sig at the bottem. It should refelct your ip address. Great use for debuging.
WMD:
Read mine and flap's post further up. I posted that image, and flap said it won't always work. ;)

I know my IP address, I wanted my ISP's.
I tried all of the sugestions above but none of them worked. I think I am having problems with my winmodem, it's strange my PCTEL modem was listed by the setup program but it still dosn't work. Oh well back to Windows for now :( . I've been busy recently so I've not be able to post or mess around with Linux as much as I would like to.
I've found a driver: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/pctel-linux/welcome.html
But wtf don't you have to recompile the kernel to install this driver?
And how the fuck do you do that?
I don't want to upset any one here but doesn't this sound a just a little bit retarded?
With all the OS's I have used before (Windows, DOS, Risc OS, Mac OS) installing a driver manually just meant copying the files to the appropriate directory and editing the necessary configuration files, not recompiling the sod-arse kernel!
And what if I install the wrong driver?
Will it break my Linux system?
Then if it does fuck up will I have to reinstall?
I don't want to do that as I will loose all the settings?
Perhaps I should just buy a decent modem.
flap:
Trust me, you don't need your ISP's ip address. You would need to know your own address if you were using a static ip, but since you're with NTL I can guarantee you use DHCP.
No you don't have to recompile your kernel to install that driver. And, no, you can't do any damage to your system by installing the wrong driver.
