Re: OT: pppd wanted between two compu's
Sebastiaan, you may find the following options of some use (unfortunately i can't verify now, this is all from my poor memory). here goes: - local - passive - ipcp-accept* - noipdefault i seem to remember that when i configured leased lines, i used to have the server assign ip addresses and have the clients accept whatever the server sent them. i would try removing the ip addresses from the client's commandline and add noipdefault and local there, and i would also add passive and local on the server. of course, you get to decide which computer is the server and which is the client. take all this with a grain of salt, since it's been a while since i've last done anything like it. happy ppp-ing, adc On Mon, Feb 26, 2001 at 10:17:58AM +0100, Sebastiaan wrote: > Hi, > > I know that this is not isp related, but on this list there are people who > know a lot about pppd (I hope). > > I am trying to set up a network connection between two computers which are > connected with a serial cable (null modem). > One computer is an i386 with 2.4.0, the other is an Macintosh Quadra 610 > with 2.2.10, both running stable. > I found an old conversion cable so I can connect apples with rs232 ports. > It works, I have a connection (I can cat a file at one machine, and it > comes out unscrambled on the other). > > I do: > pppd -detach crtscts lock 192.168.2.254:192.168.2.1 /dev/ttyS1 19200 noauth > > on both computers (and the ip's swapped), as described in the ppp howto. > > > Both return: > Using interface ppp0 > Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS1 > > and wait, and after a while they get a LCP timeout sending > Config-Requests. > > In the manpage of pppd there is said that crtscts does not work correctly > on macintoshes, but they do not say what will work.

Please make sure it starts pppd with the options ``login'' and ``+pap''. My line here is /AutoPPP/ - - /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap login An alternative is to have each username/password in the /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file (which I find rather annoying). pap-secrets has the following format: useryour_server passwordip_address [...] > The following are some mgetty enties of failed logins, and successful > logins using the manual bring up the termal window. > > ... > 03/04 15:46:53 1a7 send: > 03/04 15:46:53 1a7 waiting for ``_'' ** found ** > 03/04 15:46:55 # data dev=ttyQ1a7, pid=12205, caller='none', > conn='115200', name='', cmd='/usr/sbin/pppd', user='/AutoPPP/' The line above suggests you have the AutoPPP line in login.config (maybe the default one?) > Thanks, > Chuck Hope this helps, --- Andrei D.
