KPPP
Hi Everyone, I would like to use BSD but I use KPPP to connect to my ISP. Is anyone working on KPPP to include it with BSD? According to Distrowatch no BSD O/S's have KPPP Regards Peter ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

At a guess, the only reason it isn't available on FreeBSD is that FreeBSD pppd uses different configuration syntax to Linux, and no-one has yet written appropriate support. However, it is perfectly possible to configure PPP on FreeBSD without such aids.

#2 DNS Auto in KPPP in FreeBSD 7.1
Hi to All! Sorry for my bad English. My problem: I am have 3G/EDGE modem ZTE MF622+ and FreeBSD 7.1. In using KPPP (KDE 3.5.10) my modem can't connect to EDGE provider, because in KPPP not enabled option Auto DNS setting. If manually set this option, that says tech support of provider, pppd print, that not connect and not determinate IP adress. Why I can enable this option? In Linux this option is enabled and all working fine.

Thank you! pppd(8) has not had any serious work done on it for over two years, see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.sbin/pppd/main.c There was some talk in -net of dropping support for it altogether. The KPPP authors have so far declined to consider adding support for FreeBSD's ppp(8), due perhaps to their primarily Linux orientation. I suggest instead using either ppp(8) - which is extensively supported by the FreeBSD Handbook and in the mailing lists - or the net/mpd5 port, which uses in-kernel netgraph modules. Both support fetching upstream DNS addresses. I happily used ppp(8) for 10 years, but now prefer mpd. cheers, Ian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
kppp DNS problem?
Hello to all, It's been about 5 years since I've posted to this list (back then it was newbies). I'm using freeBSD 4.2; KDE on X. kppp works as advertised, except for one little problem. my primary and secondary DNS servers are as follows: ns1.hosting.trueband.net ns2.hosting.trueband.net All well and good - BUT the kppp config untility will only allow numbers to be entered into the utility! Please suffer this ol' burn-out from the 60's some advice. What to do, where? Thank you in advance. Z.

Please suffer this ol' burn-out from the 60's some advice. What to do, where? Your ISP should give you names instead of numbers for their DNS servers. Your system can only use names if it already knows where its DNS servers are, because converting names to numbers is what DNS servers do. Hence, the software only wants numbers. As someone has already posted, the names they gave you resolve to: 64.92.112.162 64.92.112.163 which does not appear to be very robust. It would be nice if at least one of your nameservers was on a different network, in case their network loses connectivity. - Bob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
kde applications start segfaulting following kppp use
I had kppd running for a while when broadband was down, and for the first time on my FreeBSD box, the whole system locked up, on occasion. I don't know why it was doing this, but usually when Konqueror was trying to load a website (once something as innocuous as a Google search). Now previously stable applications such as kmail and Konqueror will occasionally segfault. I'm assuming that this and the kppp period are connected, which may or not be true. Any ideas on how to approach this? I was thinking of rebuilding kdebase.

kppp
I run kppp for dialup. My modem is on port /dev/cuaa4. kppp doesn't allow me to use /dev/cuaa4, only up to /dev/cuaa3. Is there a way to force kppp to see /dev/cuaa4? I've currently removed /dev/cuaa3, and instead made /dev/cuaa3 a symlink to /dev/cuaa4.

There is no /dev/cuaa4 on my system - did you create one on yours? Your ppp data hasn't been cutpasted from your ppp output - be nice if it had been as there might be something insignificant there which would help resolve the issue. As it stands ppp would seem to be lying to you, or you have a weird mobo problem or you have sonfused ppp by mistyping the set device line in ppp.conf, or ... cuaa4 is definitely wrong on normal i386 systems. --- Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Trouble getting KPPP to work
I don't seem to be able to get kppp to make a connection. -My modem is an internal Motorola Voicesurfr 33.6 -It is configured for serial port cuaa2 -When I use the query modem command in kppp it seems to find the modem because it returns values for most of the AT commands But when I try to connect it gives me the message Initializing modem indefinitely. I'm a newbie so please don't filter out any obvious solutions. Thanks in advance, Matthew To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Fixes for modem lockup and cuaa4/KPPP problems
These are fixes I found on the web for a couple of problems I was having. 1. System lockup when I tried to use cuaa0 and 2. How to use cuaa4 on KPPP dialer. For the modem lockup when I tried to use cuaa0, I simply used (as root) /dev/MAKEDEV to create cuaa4, with which my modem worked perfectly. Then I had to find a way to use cuaa4 under KPPP which only allows cuaa0 to cuaa3. Basically it's simple. As root, cd down to /dev and remove (rm) cuaa3. Then form a soft link called /dev/cuaa3 to /dev/cuaa4. It solved the problem fine. KPPP worked like a charm from then on. Here is the article I got the fix from: This will probably only apply to PCI Modems that are assigned an IRQ out of the range of the normal COM port IRQ's. ( IRQ 4, 3) The problem: ActionTek PCI modem assigned to sio4, I prefer KDE and KPPP as my connection interface. KPPP only provides port selections cuaa0 to cuaa3. My modem is assigned to cuaa4. ( I really like the automated MAKEDEV on bootup, specially since I can't find setserial on my box anymore :^) ) Solution: As root from CLI shell or even a terminal in KDE. cd /dev See what exists: ls -l /dev/cuaa* Should see entries in the table: crw-r-- uucp dialer 28, 130 Dec 7 16:00 cuaa0 crw-r-- uucp dialer 28, 130 Dec 7 16:00 cuaa1 crw-r-- uucp dialer 28, 130 Dec 7 16:00 cuaa2 crw-r-- uucp dialer 28, 130 Dec 7 16:00 cuaa3 crw-r-- root wheel 28, 132 Dec 7 16:00 cuaa4 NOTE: If your table does not look like the example above you should probably try another method. This worked for me and my setup. rm cuaa3 ln -s /dev/cuaa4 /dev/cuaa3 To Verify: ls -l /dev/cuaa* Should now look like: crw-r-- uucp dialer 28, 130 Dec 7 16:00 cuaa0 crw-r-- uucp dialer 28, 130 Dec 7 16:00 cuaa1 crw-r-- uucp dialer 28, 130 Dec 7 16:00 cuaa2 crw-r-- root wheel 10, Dec 7 16:02 cuaa3 - /dev/cuaa4 crw-r-- root wheel 28, 132 Dec 7 16:00 cuaa4 Finally: In order for me as user to use this I had to assign myself to group wheel in /etc/group file. This is easily done with your favorite editor and adding a comma behind the last entry of group wheel and the the approppriate user name. Do not put a space, white or otherwise between the comma and the new user ID. Written and tested by BSDvault member DonXC Hope all this helps someone. :) __ Do you Yahoo!?
