From the ping-depth department...

Waldemar Kornewald from the Networking Kit recently changed a file in the OpenBeOS CVS and posted a comment which is pretty self-explanatory. Check it out:

"Update of /cvsroot/open-beos/current/src/add-ons/kernel/network/ppp/pppoe
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv18073/pppoe

Modified Files:
PPPoEDevice.cpp
Log Message:
Yeah! It finally works! The default route was missing, that was the only problem!
I established a connection with PPPoE and pinged goole and osnews. Net+ loaded half of www.osnews.com but then crashed because of a bug in our DNS resolver.
There is one more bug to fix: our core stack module does not remove the routes when an interface is deleted.
Thus, there will always remain the route(s) from the last connection(s)."


In addition, the status of the Networking Kit has been improved to the "Late" phase of "Pre-Alpha". Good work everyone!
