Re: [Astlinux-users] 2nd external port is a PPP link :: Details
Kristian, My sincere apologies. I did misread your prior post. I thought you were speaking specifically about multiple PPP connections. I think it was Phillip that had asked for some details on my findings, so I was going to answer that query in any event. As I mentioned previously, I am learning how the networking environment is constructed... perhaps I will be able to contribute along these lines should I get sufficiently well along.

Re: [Astlinux-users] 2nd external port is a PPP link :: Details
Getting back to this finally. Here are some details on how I am attemting to set up the 2nd EXT port as a PPP link: EXTIF=eth0 EXTIP="96.56.230.78" EXTNM="255.255.255.248" EXTGW="96.56.230.73" EXT2IF=ppp0 #EXT2IP="dhcp" #EXT2NM="255.255.255.0" #EXT2GW="68.236.211.11" PPPOEUSER="" PPPOEPASS="" PPPOEIF="eth1" PPPOEKERNEL="yes" PPPOEDEBUG="yes" Upon rebooting with this configuration, I find that I don't have a eth0,eth1, or ppp0 connection: sk3 ~ # ifconfig eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:24:CB:01:32 inet addr:192.168.17.78 Bcast:192.168.17.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:145 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:109 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:24112 (23.5 KiB) TX bytes:36135 (35.2 KiB) Interrupt:9 Base address:0xe300 loLink encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) Other attempts: I've experimented with the definition of EXT2IP/NM/GW, with no apparent change.. Ultimately, I've left them commented out since they should be assigned as part of the ppp setup in any event. I switched eth0 and eth1, making the ppp link on eth0. End up with the same interface configuration as above. Any thoughts would be welcome. I've been tracing the network script (S03Network) that is invoked during startup. I don't have any intelligent observations on that yet, so I will refrain from speaking on that process till I understand what's going on there. rb Ron Byer Jr. NetWeave Integrated Solutions, Inc. +1.732.786.8830 x120 -Original Message- From: Philip A.
