[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! Exit status 4 (On man pppd, the explanation is: 4: The kernel does not support PPP, for example, the PPP kernel driver is not included or cannot be loaded.). Details: unable to open the /dev/ppp device. You need to create the /dev/ppp device by executing the following command as root: ^lmknod /dev/ppp c 1808 0 When I do this, I get the message: substitution failed, so I don`t have ppp in the /dev folder.

Re: [newbie] KPPP: Kernel PPP support
I did a upgrade on my wife's PC and except for fixing a few icons it seemed to go in good. She user's kppp and it works fine. roly On Wednesday 28 April 2004 06:07 pm, Marc wrote: On Wednesday 28 April 2004 09:26 am, Katinka Peter wrote: Since I`ve updated from 8.2 to 10.0 Official, I cannot connect to the internet anymore.

Re: [newbie] kppp or ppp
This looks like part of kppp, fill in all the boxes you list below, make sure you set up your modem to the correct terminal and it should work, some isp's require pap authentication, othrs want chap, kppp defaults to pap, if it doesn't work change it to chap and try again. you shouldn't need to go near /etc/resolv.conf On Tue, 02 May 2000, you wrote: this might be a stupid question but hey i am new to linux. when i am first installing linux and it comes up to the part to set up your modem connection and it asks to enter the following- Connection Name= Phone Number= Login Name= Login Password= Authentication= Domain Name= First Dns Server= Second Dns Server= I would like to know if that is setting up kppp or ppp? also if i dont get it set up right there would i go to /etc/resolv.conf to enter the dns server? _ NetZero - Defenders of the Free World Click here for FREE Internet Access and Email http://www.netzero.net/download/index.html
