pppd problem
I had a similar problem to that archived at: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/debian-user-200303/msg00256.html but with an extra twist. I was trying to use pon and poff to access my ISP by dial-up modem. This was on Debian 3.0r1, newly installed on a PC, and using pppconfig to set up ppp with dynamic DNS. I would say: pon and get the reply: PPP: version 2.3.7 (demand dialling) PPP: line discipline registered registered device ppp0 At this stage, Konqueror would sit for 40 seconds and then say that the site was not found. Then I would say: poff Now, if I requested a site in Konqueror, the modem would dial again and this time the site would be found properly! As suggested in the archive, I removed diald, and everything seems to work properly now. (After struggling for many days.) Questions: (1) Why did it work properly when it dialed for itself? (2) Should this be reported as a bug? Note: If I remember correctly, tasksel actually asks if you want diald. For a beginner like me, it looks necessary. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dear Christof, maybe by deleting the line "gateway ..." from the interface-section of tap0 in your "/etc/network/interfaces"? IMHO pppd denies in many cases the setting of a default-route, if any other exists during startup of the ppp-connection. -- Wilfried Essig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Familie Essig -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I removed diald and that solved the problem. At least I got pppd to work, and it seems to work fine. Thanks, Chris Dr.-Ing.

Re: pppd problem...
Or, if you don't need any other name resolution, back up the original resolv.conf, and make /etc/resolv.conf a symlink to /etc/ppp/resolv.conf. That way you'll track any changes to the DNS servers automatically. Note: I haven't done this on Debian - I'm assuming Deb ppp is no different than other Linux ppp's. --Todd On Sat, 01 Mar 2003 20:05:23 +0100 [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Sebastian D.B.

pppd problem
Hello all! At last I successfully installed my modem (beta) drivers (dawned internal modems) and the kppp application to get into the internet...BUT, after the number is dialled it comes up an error: the problem (it says) is with the ppp daemon that interrupts suddenly the link because of an anexpected error (code 1). I typed man pppd to see the meaning of the error code 1 and it was no so helpful, telling about a missing system call and something like that. Does someone have an idea about what to do?? I'd like to connect to the internet,really. Thanks Emanuele

pppd problem ?
Hi, I just compiled the 2.4.0 kernel. (I compiled the ppp-support into it.) When I reboot everything works fine, except for the PCMCIA modem. My PCMCIA network card works just fine. So I upgraded pppd to version 2.4.0 but it still doesn't work? Is there anything else I'm missing? Here is what I get when I try to connect to my ISP using pon: laptop:/home/user1# tail /var/log/syslog Mar 17 19:44:48 laptop chat[1785]: ^M Mar 17 19:45:07 laptop chat[1785]: ATDT6749955^M^M Mar 17 19:45:07 laptop chat[1785]: CONNECT Mar 17 19:45:07 laptop chat[1785]: -- got it Mar 17 19:45:07 laptop chat[1785]: send (\d) Mar 17 19:45:08 laptop pppd[1784]: Serial connection established.

I have absolutely no clue where I can get it from, I've never heared about anything lilke that. What do I have to do to get my modem working? TIA ! Philipp

The way between this is to use the packages I have prepared [1] - but read the warnings before you install these packages. cu, Adrian [1] http://www.fs.tum.de/~bunk/kernel-24.html -- Nicht weil die Dinge schwierig sind wagen wir sie nicht, sondern weil wir sie nicht wagen sind sie schwierig.

Yes, and there's another important point: When you upgrade modutils to a version needed for kernel 2.4.x you can no longer run a modular 2.0.x kernel - and modular 2.0.x kernels are in potato. > Cheers, cu, Adrian -- Nicht weil die Dinge schwierig sind wagen wir sie nicht, sondern weil wir sie nicht wagen sind sie schwierig.

The following configuration works perfectly (for my serial modem connection): bdg:/home/okidz# uname -a Linux bdg 2.4.1 #2 SMP Mon Feb 5 14:27:10 JAVT 2001 i686 unknown bdg:/home/okidz# dpkg -l | grep ppp ii ppp2.4.0f-1 Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) daemon. /etc/modules: # slhc ppp_generic ppp_async After you have edited /etc/modules, you can do the following: insmod slhc insmod ppp_generic insmod ppp_async So that you don't have to reboot the machine (you are not supposed to ;-). Enjoy your ppp connection, Oki

Debian will not add new packages to its stable distribution just so that it works with a kernel that happens to be called "stable": this would destroy Debian's notion of a stable distribution. Cheers, Thanks for the clarification. I did not appreciate these distinctions. Now that I do I can manage my upgrades more carefully.

Well I got ppp 2.4.0f-1. I had to ./MAKEDEV ttyS4, then setserial uart 16550A port 0xd800 irq 3 When I executed pon and then plog I got a message that the device was locked pid 181. For the record I configured the 2.4.1 kernel for standard uart support, for extended dumb serial support and for more than 4 serial ports. I am only using ttyS0 and ttyS4 - the latter because that is where my Zoom pci modem decided it belonged.

pcmcia/pppd problem in potato
To recap: I'm somewhere along the way of moving from slink to potato. After recompiling the kernel and pcmcia modules "pon" stopped working with the log indicating from pppd: Can't get terminal parameters: Input/output error Doing a setserial /dev/ttyS1 irq 0 sometimes fixes this, but turning polling off reduces the throughput dramatically. Sometimes doing: setserial /dev/ttyS1 irq 3 fixes things up again (the 3 came from hunting through the messages log and guessing the association between irq 3 and pcmcia). Sometimes I need to reboot to get these setserial commands to have an effect (i.e., to get "pon" working again). I'm getting by, but I'd sure like to understand what's going on, and fix it?

DialD/PPPD Problem....
I'm currently running DialD using a USR Sportster 33.6 Modem. I want to "upgrade" this modem to a K56Flex Motorola; however, when I swap out the USR for the Motorola, strange things happen After enabling full debug and watching the logs, all I could find was that DialD's connect script would run successfully and diald would start pppd. However, right at this point, pppd would die with only an "exit" - rather than the usual, which is "ppp1...". I've tried connecting to my ISP using Minicom, CTRL-A, Q, Y, and then manually starting pppd and that works okay. Any ideas?
