[ale] Modem & LAN connection in the same box ?

[lee]

Hi Folks,
It's great to see humor is alive and well on this list,now for something not 
so humorous.

I've got Mandrake 8.1 here with an external modem (using kppp),also with an 
NIC (2 actually,a realtek and a mb integrated one). 

Ok..have another box I'd like to use as a proxy with Squid. I have Squid 
configged correctly (I think). Was thinking of using Apache's proxy module 
but that's another question :-)

Problem is this,I can connect using the modem fine. I cannot connect thru the 
proxy. I get a "a timed out error"

Ok,so I've either got Squid mis-configged or there's another issue here. My 
question is this..has anyone here been able to make kppp and a LAN connection 
work on the same box? If so ..how  ?? I guess if I have to do a fresh install 
to make it work I could do that (ugh !! )

Thank you all very much for your time, I really do appreciate it alot  :-)

Lee
