Also, I believe any good ISP should be able to connect within 30 sec. Mike The opteritive word here is should. Where you run into problems is when your ISP is a reseller, and you are using a dialup access that is shared by many resellers. When you connet, they first have to seperate your ISP off the login name. Then they have to look up the RAS server for that ISP, do a DNS lookup, connect to it, and validate your username and password. The DNS lookup and connection sometimes take a while, especialy the handshaking for an encripted connection. Once the IP address in in the local DNS cache, it goes much faster. But when you happen to be the ISP's only user on that node, and you don't connect often, then it can be a problem. It was national dialup from a local company, so you had no problems when you were in the local area, but it could be a problem when traveling. But it was cheap access, and there were dialup numbers all over the place. Great for a backup connection, or when you are traveling.

If you set one using MCC network configuration, use MCC to remove it. If you have an ethernet connection that uses DHCP, and sets a gateway and default route, then it is a bit harder to do, because it gets reset every time. If that is the case, and you can not fix the DHCP server, then you may have to manualy delete the route before running kppp. Mikkel Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

One other problem is that the dialer no longer cycles between one telephone number and another in the phone numbers list , as my ISP like me to do, as it helps to even out the loads on their exchanges.

[newbie] KPPP: Kernel PPP support
Since I`ve updated from 8.2 to 10.0 Official, I cannot connect to the internet anymore. When I try to connect using KPPP, the modem dials but then I get the following error message: pppd daemon died unexpectedly!

Re: [newbie] kppp questions
Well, I solved the login on startup problem with a simple workaround - changed from kppp to wvdial. In case anyone's interested, here's a mini-howto. 1. Become root 2. Install wvdial $ urpmi wvdial 3. Generate the configuration file $ cd /etc $ wvdialconf wvdial.conf (note there is a dot in the second one, not the first) 4. Make wvdial.conf writable (they don't tell you this in the man pages!) 5. Edit wvdial.conf, filling in your username, password and the number you dial into. If you want any other options, see man wvdial.conf. 6. If your ISP requires that you specify the IP number of its nameserver, edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/net_resolv.default to include the line: nameserver 139.179.10.13 (changing the number, of course) Note: do not edit /etc/resolv.conf, as this gets overwritten at boot time. 7. If you want automatic login at boot time, add a line to /etc/inittab like mine:2345:respawn:/usr/bin/wvdial (there's probably a more elegant way to do this by making wvdial a service and putting it in one of the rc files) 8. Don't do any of the above if you have a pay-by-the-minute connection ;-) Sir Robin -- A Perl script is correct if it gets the job done before your boss fires you. - Larry Wall Robin Turner IDMYO Bilkent Univeritesi Ankara 06533 Turkey www.bilkent.edu.tr/~robin Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

So, try this: remove the GATEWAYDEV line altogether from /etc/sysconfig/network make sure you don't have a file /etc/default-route (you probably don't) as root do 'service network restart' also as root 'route -n' will show you a routing table which should not include a line beginning with '0.0.0.0' (default route).

Hope this works for you. Regards, John... I hadn't restarted the network. Egg on face.

The computer on 56k MoDem connected ok to the net but web pages were not fetching. I guess this was because the IP request was not sending the correct IP address for my computer but was sending a default address (0.0.0.0). (Correct me if this is wrong John).

The error in /var/log/syslog read Nov 21 07:48:46 localhost pppd[7776]: not replacing existing default route to eth0 [192.168.0.1] The fix was to add the line GATEWAYDEV=ppp0 remove the line GATEWAY=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx both in /etc/sysconfig/network.

I guess this was because the IP request was not sending the correct IP address for my computer but was sending a default address (0.0.0.0). (Correct me if this is wrong John). Not quite. It wasn't that you were sending a default address. The routing table is specific to your computer and network. Without getting too technical, it works something like this: If you wished to send a message to another computer on your network, say from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.2, your computer begins reading the routing table from top to bottom and stops once it sees that the network 192.168.0.0/24 is on interface eth0. After a further process of finding the specific machine to send to (which I won't go into here), it sends the message through eth0 to the destination. But what happens when you want to communicate with someone outside your network? In the case of the Internet, you can't have listings in your routing table for all the networks out there, so you have a default gateway defined in your routing table, which says, 'if you don't know where this network is, send it here'. The route to the default gateway is the default route, and the default route is notated as 0.0.0.0. It is always the last route in your routing table. All the computers on your network that are not connected to the Internet require a default route that points to the computer that is connected to the Internet. On the computer that is connected to the Internet, you require a default route that points to the Interface that is connected directly to the Internet. In your case, you had a default route and gateway defined in /etc/sysconfig/network pointing to eth0 and kppp was refusing to replace it with a default route pointing to the Internet when it came up. By getting rid of the previous default route, kppp was able to give you a default route (0.0.0.0) to the Internet on interface ppp0. I hope that helps, Kind regards, John...

[newbie] kppp locks machine
One of my dial-up machines will be locked up by kppp if I leave it running overnight (it doesn't always do this, but most of the time). Nothing unusual shows in my logs. What happens is, when I wake up my machine in the morning, then click on the connect button in the kppp box, the button will gray out and the machine will just sit there. I can't kill kppp at all--I've tried killing the proc, but when I do that the kppp dialog box grays out completely (no writing inside it whatsoever), but the top bar and the xit square are still there. ktop shows the proc to still be running, no unusual cpu load, no unusual memory usage, etc. Anyway, as soon as the connect button grays out, it becomes impossible for me to logout. And, after I try to kill the proc, I can't even get to another terminal window--I'm dead in the water, except I can still open applications (but not terminal)--weird, huh? My only solution is a hard reboot (alt,SysRq,b). I'm running ext3, so no major problems doing this--yet. But, I'm getting very annoyed. Any ideas? e.

[newbie] KPPP in Gnome (was Newbie still having problems...)
If you're using KDE try: KMenu Networking Remote Access Internet Dialer which hopefully will start kppp. I use kppp in KDE and it works fine, however I can't for the life of me get Gnome ppp (in Gnome) to work - I always get the error message the pppdaemon has died unexpectedly. Gave up on that one weeks ago and is the only reason I don't use Gnome. Good luck. Methinks that if you have all the kdelibs installed (since you're running KDE), you can run kppp without a problem inside Gnome... I use XFCE, and I run KDE and Gnome apps in any mix and that works fine for me. All you'd need to do is make a menu link or desktop shortcut to kppp. Paul Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[newbie] kppp in mandrake 7.2
Good Day, I have just re-installed mdk 7.2, and now my kppp will only stay conected for 5 to 6 minutes.. I did put a new videocard in and installed window 2000 on the drive as well. The video card that I installed is a ATI ALL-IN-Wonder 4mb Mach 64. It is one of the first ones to come out. Can anyone give me an explanation as to why before when MDK was installed I could stay conected for 9 hours and now I cannot stay connected past 5 or 6 minutes.. Thanks

Re: [newbie] KPPP problems (update)
Another kind user suggested I try 'ifup ppp0'. Unfortunately, I had to ctl-c out of it and I got an error 8 when it couldn't actiate the interface. I haven't figured out what that exactly means yet. So I thought maybe I should try re-loading the pcmcia package (I'm having the same issue with my formerly working laptop). I noticed 'lynx' the text based browser. So I thought I'd try to laucnh that. I did so at first without launching kppp. Just to see. Couldn't find the linux-mandrake site of course. So I then launched kppp via the 'internet' icon on the KDE desktop. After it connected I restarted Lynx. Lo and behold!!! There's a response! Then I started netscape and it too was ok! I quit lynx and held my breath. All was still good! Now dear souls, any ideas why Lynx started ok and Netscape never did? The question too, will it start netscape again if I reboot, or will I have to launch Lynx, then netscape? I'll have to try this on the desktop when I get home next week. pete
Re: [newbie] KPPP problems (update 2)
I got kicked off the net. Then I closed all the windows, clicked on 'internet', after it minimized, I clicked on netscape, and guess what, I got connected! I'll have to try this tomorrow after a re-boot. I'm on my work laptop, so I shutdown and have to take it to work, bummer eh? pete

In your Kppp setup add the *70~ to the _FRONT_ of your ISP's phone number. That should fix it. The ~ indicates the modem should wait for (usually) 1/2 second before continuing the dial string.

[newbie] KPPP problems
I am running Mandrake 7.2 with the latest updates of kppp, netscape and Konqueror. I have an external modem on tty0 which connects using kppp without difficulty. I have just lost my slow/unreliable DSL connection, and replaced it with a 56k dial-up. For some reason, which escapes me at present, I am unable to get netscape (or the rest of the system for that matter) to recognize the change. The modem dials and connects without difficulty but the I cannot resolve addresses in Netscape or Konqueror. I have changed etc/resolve.conf to reflect the change in DNS servers. It appears the requests are not being transmitted to the modem, as the lights do not flash and no packets are noted in the log screen. I think the system is still trying to resolve addresses through the ethernet connection to the router. Is there something in networking I need to change to get the system to recognize the dialup connection? Jim -- James Mellema - Linux User #71650
Re: [newbie] KPPP problems
I just (re) installed 7.2 and all I have is a dialup. On installation, I did not enter the domain nor ips to search. That didn't work. I then used Linxconf and set the ppp options there. I also set the options via the kppp dialog. I used 'manual' for the dns nameserver info. I use earthlink BTW. In the linuxconf setup, Config Networking PPP/SLIP/PLIP select the ppp0 Hopefully you have it) Under hardware: enable "allow any user to (de)activate..." basically, the switches are on-off-on-on select line speed select modem port PPP options are blank for me Communication: ATZ ATDT phone number to your isp I unchecked Debug connection and left rest as default Networking: off-on-on-on the rest default PAP:If you're using it self-explanitory And hopefully you're up and running! pete
Re: [newbie] KPPP problems
OK, my turn (again!!) I had a problem with my main box and I re-installed 7.2 just as I had done on my laptop. I'm coming to you via my laptop now. The main box seemed to load up ok. Then I try ti connect to the net and I get the same problem that the original poster has with his connection when he lost his hi-speed line. I hear the modem dial ok and seems to connect, but netscape doesn't want to. I did the same setup that I used for the laptop. Do I have some strange hardware problem? Everything seems to run alright otherwise. I only setup both boxes via linuxconf and the kppp setup dialogs. I'm really confused! pete

[newbie] kppp crashes
Hi there. There is something wrong in my kpp configuration. It refuses to be runned by a normal user. When I try (as a user) to run it, it crashes: The terminal shows: KCrash: crashing crashRecursionCounter = 2 KCrash: Application Name = kppp path = unknown And a dialog box shows: The KPPP application failed with signal 11 (SIGSEGV) The only way to run it is to be root or be su'ed as root. I modified the kppp icon on my desktop from "kppp" to "kdesu kppp" and works fine. But my question is: should it be so? Must I be root to run kppp? I don't feel comfortable running it su'ed as root (can it be a security hole?).

[newbie] KPPP and external modem not responging
Hi folks, this is an update on my external Best Data modem problems. I decided after trying every combo that I could in KPPP setup that it had to be a bios problem. So, I held my breath and went into BIOS and set everything back to default. The modem dialed up the first time after booting. I do not know what I did to kill it in the first place, but it works now. I will go back into BIOS and just look to see if I can figure out what was set to kill the modem in linux but not in windows. If this gives anyone a hint as to the problem please give a holler so that I can avoid losing any more hair. I'm sure others will appreciate the info also, so if I figure it out I too will post my findings. I reloaded 7.2 and stopped after the first disk and had no errors for opening packages. However, I still have no icons or KDE like desktop. ? I am really beginning to think that there is a problem with my d/l'd disks. Keep on, keeping on. Dennis M.

[newbie] kppp statistics
Hi: When kppp connects to my ISP it docks onto the panel (which is the way I have it set up). If I right click on the modem icon and select details, a window with details about the connection (of all thing!) pops up. In the bottom of the window is a display of the transfer rate (bps?). This is shown in blue. Also, sometimes, there is another line along the bottom that is in red. And sometimes this red line takes a small bib up. What is this red line trying to tell me? Maybe errors? There is also 2 columns for bytes in, bytes out other things. At the bottom of the left column there is a display labeled vjerr which is always zero (sounds good to me). but in the second column across from vjerr there is a display labeled non-vj. Does this mean non-vj errors? This display has a count in it. Is this a count of errors? Thanks Charles

Re: [newbie] KPPP and No Dialtone
The commas would not help. The problem is that when there are messages waiting, the dialtone changes. The modem does not recognize this other dialtone, hence the 'no dialtone' error.

I am trying to find out from Cox Cable if there is a nother way to signal voicemail other than the stutter tone. What is your current init. string? If there was nothing there before then the x3 needs to be prefixed with 'at' (without the quotes). In other words, if your modem string was "atm1v1" then it should become "atm1v1x3". If it was blank, then it should become "atx3" (all without quotes). The x3 bit is not case sensitive, and is the standard Hayes-compatible command for "ignore dialtone". It works for me - I needed it for when I was in Europe with a laptop/PCMCIA modem combination. Some of them Europeans have some very different dialtones... Regards, Ozz.

Re: [newbie] KPPP and No Dialtone
Hi I have, British Telecom's call minder enabled on this phone there are currently about 12 messages and the modem dials out fine so we know it is possible The settings on this system are just whatever the defaults are the modem is an external US Robotics Sportster Vi 28.8 If you tell me where to look on this system for the settings I'll copy them and send them to you. It sounds like its time to rumage through the AT commands/modem options to find one that will recognize an alternate dial tones.

Follow the directions in my previous message to see if you get OK's back when entering the AT commands. Capitalization normally doesn't matter, but some command sets are only partly standard, so trying both cases wouldn't hurt. What X1 or X3 does is tell the modem to not listen for a dial tone, just dial. That's why, in my prior message, I suggested you should also set your S6 register to 2 seconds (the normal default) so that the modem wouldn't start dialing before the phone connection is ready. Alan
Re: [newbie] KPPP and No Dialtone
I have not heard of voice mail causing this problem, but call waiting sure does. Just for grins, try '*70' followed by the number.

You can also add X3 to the init string and it will ignore the error when it doesn't hear the dial tone. That will get you a quicker dial than the commas.

For pmfirewall... just so that everything is set correctly in its scripts, re-run the install script giving it ppp0 as the external interface, DHCP, autodetect the IP, and shut off any services you probably will not use (most, if not all the defaults are fine here). Then tell it eth0 is the internal interface, that it *will* be masquerading, and to detect that IP range. When it all finished, bring upthe modem, get connected, and run /usr/local/pmfirewall/./pmfirewall restart to check that it's been confgured correctly. You should see the correct IPs for bothe networks.

It seems to be working. I ran into problems on Box2 getting both Nic and Modem to work at same time. Sound familar. I disabled serial ports in cmos to free up some IRQ's. It seems to have worked.

I not concerned with sharing an Internet connection at this time.I tried to setup printin from box1 but it failed. I don't remember now, but It said something about servername? I also could use some advice on how to mount each computer where I can share files between the two computers. I'm not very clear on this. I would also like "later" to learn how to setup samba to go from linux to windows, but for now I want linux to linux.

I can find about my PCI devices. I then went to net conf and then ppp/slip/plip/ and enabled ppp0 to start at bootup. Also enabled pmfirewall to start at boot.

Hi -- If this doesn't work, try increasing the timeout from 60 seconds (I think this is the default) to 150 seconds.

Re: [newbie] Kppp and Networking
OK, FINALLY! Something we tried *actually* did something positive! I was beginning to worry there! For now, unless you're going to be setting up httpd to server something immediately, you can go into DrakConf (if it actually installed on your machine--I had to install mine manually) and shut off httpd in system services. Until you actually have the ability to set it up, there's no need to sit around waiting for it to start. For pmfirewall... just so that everything is set correctly in its scripts, re-run the install script giving it ppp0 as the external interface, DHCP, autodetect the IP, and shut off any services you probably will not use (most, if not all the defaults are fine here). Then tell it eth0 is the internal interface, that it *will* be masquerading, and to detect that IP range. When it all finished, bring upthe modem, get connected, and run /usr/local/pmfirewall/./pmfirewall restart to check that it's been confgured correctly. You should see the correct IPs for bothe networks. On the windows box... all you need to do in the Network applet in control panel, is edit the settings in network protocols TCP/IP [ethernet adapter]. You want to add your internal IP for that machine. a subnet mask that matches the one used on the NIC for the firewall (hopefully 255.255.255.0-'cause that would correct) and enter the default gateway as the IP of the internal interface of the firewall. For the the DNS entries, add the two DNS IP address found in /etc/resolve.conf on the firewall (or two DNS servers you know will exist on the internet), close everything, possibly restart as you're working in windows, and give it a try. We should be good from here Then it's on to samba. (Oh god!) :-) --Greg Success!!! I took out my servername and address in /etc/hosts and am now able to connect to internet. /sbin/ifup ppp0 dials modem and connects /sbin/ifconfig shows eth0.,lo,ppp0 with IP addressess on ppp0 it shows the address the ISP gives me upon connection. What is command to disconnect? Kppp will also work. On Boot though "http" fails and has to set the servername. Bootup takes forever. I will now enable network on box2 and try to figure out how to mount. What do I do next?

[newbie] KPPP still giving me aggro!
Please someone , help if you can. Installed and configured Madrake 7. Set up kppp , but sometimes will - sometimes wont. Creation of duplicate files (host.conf resolv.conf) created continuously. Any ideas? I thought I had it all figured , but I've missed something and I can't find what it is. Many thanx - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
