Hi,
I've just installed linux 5.1 on a second hard drive. i know I need to do a
lot more reading but I am impatient to get connected to my isp. i am using
the MASTERING LINUX Arman Danesh book.
My problem and details as succinctly as I know how : redhat
5.1....ppp2.3.3-4 kernel 2.0.34. Am trying to connect to isp. Used mincom
and can connect and reciever ip addr.
Use this for real connection: pppd /dev/modem 57600 connect
'/usr/sbin/chat " " ATDTxxxxxxx CONNECT " " Username: xxxx Password:
xxxx ' noipdefault defaultroute
There is no modem dialing. I checked /var/log/messages and, typical for
each attempt, I get this:
kernel ppp ver 2.2.0
kernel ppp dynamic channel....
kernel pppline disc. registered
pppd pppd 2.3.3 started by root
chat failed
pppd connect script failed
pppd exit
pppd line disc. unregistered
Chat consistently fails so is that the prob and if so how to fix. I have
gone to /usr/sbin/chat and it is there in hex so it not missing.
only other thing I notice ip forwarding is off. I'm assuming that's ok.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks....mike mcmanus
