5 seconds seems like a pretty tight for it to give up. Do you have any
other defaults in your ppp.conf not shown below ?

also add

 enable echo
 disable vjcomp
 set lqrperiod 10
 set cd 10

and when its not working, try

tcpdump -nei fxp0

You should see responses to your PADI requests from the remote BAS.
Also get rid of the 209.161.205.12 line. Typically your ISP will assign
you the static IP out of RADIUS and you dont need to specify it.

If you have 2 computers needing to dial-out, you might consider sharing 
the ppp connection.  The online handbook covers this at:

Is ppp still active in the background?  What does 'ps ax | grep ppp' 
return?

I used to kill ppp using a "hangup" python script:


#!/usr/local/bin/python
# /usr/local/bin/hangup.py

import os, string, sys

a = 'ps ax | grep ppp'
b = os.popen(a).readlines()
c = b[0]
d = string.split(c)
os.popen('kill ' + d[0])

The 5.x series uses a devfs filesystem which creates devices on the
fly. You don't have to make the devices manually anymore.

Username and password is incorrect? Post us the actual contents of the
logs and your ppp.conf (with the username/password blanked out) and we
will have a better idea just what is going wrong with your system.

Note, if you have special characters in the username or password
you need o escape them i.e., [EMAIL PROTECTED] would be [EMAIL PROTECTED]
However, this is not always the case depending on the isp.

Try  starting using this command  ppp -background -nat isp
 Also post your /etc/rc.conf

Add this to your ppp.conf isp section

Subject: ppp connection problem

Greetings all:

I am connecting to my isp with the following ppp.conf using the
command
>ppp -auto isp
when i run the command i usually connect on the second try.
for some reason the connection drops after the first try, but my
true problem is i can ping internal ips and not ips outside the
network.
I think my problem is with my default route is not setup properly.

here is a snip of my ifconfig, for some reason i have two tun
devices.
i think that is caused by trying to dial up twice? any thought on
how to setup my default route properly?

Thanks,

brian

Removing the 'set ifaddr' line fixed some weird problems for me.
However, I use ppp for PPPoE. It might be worth a try, though. I know
several people that have removed that line successfully.

RE: ppp connection

2003-07-19 Thread fbsd_user

Marvin,
You say user ppp is not dialing out. What makes you think your modem
is working at all. Does the dmesg.boot file show your modem being
found? Are you using an MS/Winmodem, is your modem an external
serial modem, USB external, internal PCI modem. Do you have
plug-n-play disabled and serial ports enabled in the motherboards
bios? What version of FBSD you are using? Does the 'TIP' command
connect to the modem and can you issue Hayes 'AT' commands to modem?
You have to provide much greater details about what you are trying
to do and what you have tried to do to debug problem. There is no
size limit to how big your email message can be so do not spare the
details.
The most important question HAVE YOU GOOLGE THE FBSD QUESTIONS LIST
EMAIL ARCHIVES FOR MODEMS OR USER PPP,  to try to find the answer to
your problem your self. For your information that is your first
place you should look when you have a problem. Your question has
been answered many times before on this list so please do the same
leg work the rest of us do when we have problems before throwing
your hands up into the air and asking for help. Take the time to
learn from the archives, the true fun of FBSD comes from figuring
out a problem on your own.  I use the this link to google all the
time.
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&group=mailing.freebsd.question

If you still need help, post these files, /var/run/dmesg.boot
/etc/ppp/ppp.conf  /etc/rc.conf  /ver/log/ppp.log containing only
the last start of user ppp, and give all the details you can so
people have the complete picture of you're files to look for
problems.

Seems the ppp connection has obviously failed

man ppp

and make sure you set it up properly...

Did you not notice any errors?

otherwise "tail -40 /var/log/ppp.log" and try see what went wrong.

It sounds like you're trying to use kernel ppp. Use "user ppp"

maybe if you specify what exactly is not working someone could help you out.
if you mean the network functions are not working, i would recommend going
into your config files to see what's up.  if you previously set your ip
statically in your conf files, you probably now will want to set it through
dhcp (as in, set that interface = to "DHCP" in your rc.conf), because that
gmc router is probably using dhcp to assign your box an internal ip.  to
test out this theory, try running "/sbin/dhclient if0", where if0 is the
name of your ethernet NIC (e.g. xl0, dc0, etc).
hope this helps.
