Hello I have been having a terrible time fixing a PPP connection on my linux system.
Everything was working fine till 2 days ago. Win95 can still connect so I looked at the ppplog.txt file there and comparing it to previous connects, it looks like the authentication procedure on the server has changed from PAP to CHAP. I have setup the chap-secrets file accordingly as well as set the name and remotename options. After the call comes up and chat hands over to pppd, I get these messages Aug 26 03:35:37 nsx pppd[9455]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS1 Aug 26 03:35:37 nsx pppd[9455]: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <asyncmap 0x0> <magic 0xffff9001> <pcomp> <accomp>] Aug 26 03:36:07 nsx last message repeated 10 times Aug 26 03:36:07 nsx pppd[9455]: Hangup (SIGHUP) Aug 26 03:36:07 nsx pppd[9455]: Modem hangup Aug 26 03:36:07 nsx pppd[9455]: Connection terminated. Aug 26 03:36:08 nsx pppd[9455]: Exit. It looks like I send the LCP ConfReq for 30 secs then the modem hangs up. There appears to be no response from the server at all. I also noticed that the option "lcp-max-configure" has no effect on the number of requests I send, contrary to what is in the man page. What does work is the lcp-restart option. With this I can control the interval between the LCP requests but still after 30 secs LCP configure requests stop and the modem hangs up. Is there a setting for controlling the time for which LCP requests are sent. Right now I am lost. I have RTFM but if I have missed anything please point it out. I have kernel v2.0.34 on a hamm system with ppp 2.3.5. TIA jmb
