KPPP started PPPD, which now actually does something (receives!!!): Ok, [large snip] Let's go back to basics with a few questions. Why did you change from the external modem? They are usually very reliable. Have you ever been able to connect to your ISP using either of these modems from this machine using Linux or Windows? You have obviously run the following command (without the quotes) as root haven't you: 'wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf'. Would you do so with the external modem plugged in and turned on and paste the contents of /etc/wvdial.conf here. I think we need to see which modem is being detected by wvdial The other thing you need to think about is if you have kppp setup correctly. I've looked at the following webpage: http://www.vodatel.hr/index.cgi?menu_id=54 which shows the POP, SMTP and DNS settings for your ISP. Would you recheck them and I suggest trying with the DNS part set to manual so that the nameserver is clearly defined. Cheers John (NZ) pgpI5XnquLuZH.pgp Description: PGP signature

You might try adding something like, MS=V34B,33600 to your modem string, so that your modem doesn't expect to be part of a faster connection. This is mine (your's will be different because you likely have a different manufacturer, but you can experiment): ATW2F+MS=V34B,1,0,33600 In the U.S. private companies aren't any better. I'm stuck with a 31.2k maximum connection speed because of bad copper. And, the exchange I'm on is an ancient analog, so DSL would require not only new lines but new switchgear. The local privopoly telco is only required by the gov't to furnish 14.4k (fax) capability. In rural areas like mine, there isn't any profit incentive to force them to upgrade.

Re: [newbie] pppd
If you don't want to use the MDK control center you could install one of the diallers like kpppd (it's in kde-networking) or the gnome equivalent, of which I don't remember the name, or any other dialler. But be warned that pppd MUST run as root. That doesn't mean that you must be root to start it, it normally is suid.

Both the gnomedialer in gnome and the kppp in kde says the say message the gnome dialer says the pppd daemon has died unexpectly and kppp stays in Expecting: CONNECT after that, the modem hangs on and then, redial in an infinite cicle.. any idea of what problem could happen?? thanks Nicolás Gómez ICQ#: 45144976
[newbie] pppd and dialing out
Madainn mhath... Greetings all, I have been "lurking" as it were on the list for several weeks now. It's great to see so many people that are knowledgable, and so many who want to be ... excelent. Firstly I am not the kind to ask questions until I have read and tried to find answers myself, I am thorougly frustrated at this point however. Let me say that I have had many people (on irc) suggest going into xwindows and using kppp or somthing similer. But I do not want to work from within xwindows. If I wanted to keep using GUI I would stay with windows. I am an old hand from the DOS days and command line is an old friend of mine. I am running Mandrake 6.5. My problem is that I am not having much success dialing out with pppd. I have an old 33.6 ISA hardware modem, jummperd approriatley. I CAN dial out using minicom. Themodem is /dev/ttyS2. I have read and printed the pages from http://www.abest.com/~kai/pppd.linux.html pppd and chat reside in /usr/sbin As /root i used emcs to crete four (4) files; ppp.start, iq.cht, resolv.conf (in /etc), and ppp.down these files now reside in /root as that is where they saved to. Details... ppp.start (resides in /root) #!/bin/bash pppd /dev/ttyS2 38400 connect `chat -f iq.chat` mru 1500 crtscts : iq.chat (resides in /root) "" ATDTmydilup# CONNECT "" host: ppp ogin: my login assword: my password /etc/resolv.conf (Note: This file was not present beforeI created it.) domain my ISP domain name nameserver appropriate primary IP nameserver appropriate secondry IP [...] ppp.down (resides in /root) ( -l is lower case L) kill -l `cat /var/run/ppp0.pid` last night i envoked theppp.start command as /root. The cursor hesitated for just a second, then Iws returned to a command prompt. No dialing insued. I had thought that perhaps /usr/sbin/chat was not in the "path" (still working on what standard paths are in linux - is there anything like autoexec.bat where pathing can be set?) but pppd is in /usr/sbin and it invokes fine from /root. This morning I envoked the following comand as /root; : cat "atdt mydilup#" /dev/ttyS2 No dialing insued. I would appreciate ny thoughts and/or input. Thanks in advance... Greagh

[newbie] pppd died unexpectedly
Hi all, I have a Pentium 133Mhz running MDK 7.2 with kernel-2.4.0-5mdk. When I try to connect to the internet using Kppp, it tells me, after the login process, that pppd has died unexpectedly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, John

On Monday 22 January 2001 19:44, you wrote: to connect to the internet using Kppp, it tells me, after the login process, that pppd has died unexpectedly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. First, check your timeout setting. Make sure you are giving the ISP enough time to establish a connection. 2 minutes should be plenty. mine is set at 1 min. If that isn't the problem, then I would say its has to do with how your ISP wants you to connect and authenticate. To help you out with this I am going to need more information. What authentication method are you using? what pppd arguments are you using? etc... I could also be the modem initialization string you are using. your ISP may want a certain kind of connection and you are sending the wrong kind. For instance, my ISP operates with V.90 and 56K but not K56flex. So I have to make sure K56flex is turned off on my modem via the initialization string, which looks like atfw2s109=2s38=1%c0. This initialization string other things but mainly ensures a V.90 connection. Every ISP and modem are different. Consult your ISP and your modem's AT command manual. I lucked out, and my ISP offers linux support. Hopefully your does too. -jason

Re: [newbie] pppd Not Working
AL wrote: A real modem :-) I've never used a winmodem. There are a couple of things you may want to confirm. Is your modem using the right IRQ. Open a terminal and log in as su, then type the following: setserial -g /dev/ttyS3 If it sees your modem properly, you will see the uart ref., port id and irq3. The other thing is Kppp. I like it because of its ease in setup and the utilities built in. If you open Kppp, go to Setup. Under the Device tab, select /dev/ttyS3, then go to the Modem tab. The Query tab does AT queries of your modem and displays the response. The Terminal tab gives you quick access and if you can type 'at' 'enter' and get an OK response, then you are at least talking to the modem. I was looking through The Linux Modem-HOWTO and it has a far troubleshooting guide with instructions on how to change the IRQ if need be. Barry :-)

[newbie] pppd. Complicated Complications.
Today, after my cable failed for the 1000 time today (honest) I thought I should prepare for the worst and configure ppp on my laptop (Toshiba Tecra 8100) So in the process, I check and make sure my modem is reconized, and it is, everything was working swimmingly until I actually connected, at, or right after the handshake (im not sure) the pppd quits, giving me no error message, and the program, be it kppp or gnome-ppp freezes, now, kppp crashes on start, and when I try to dial as a normal user, it tells me I don't have permission to access ppp. But as root, It dials out, and freezes at handshake, and sometimes the entire damn system. Now that I come to think about it, it could be an IRQ conflict...ill look into that, but any suggestions could be greatly apprechiated. Regards, Peter Marks (var1x)

RE: [newbie] pppd Server? + other questions.
Thanks for the quick replies!! The IP addresses are on a x.240 subnet and the pipeline is set to pass all traffic at this point. The reason that I would like to force an Internet connection is so that I can then access my network from the Internet. I do not want to do this all the time, but depending on where I am, I get more throughput using the Internet than I do on a dialup connection. I really do not care if every time my phone rings the server connects to the internet because I do not get that many calls where it would make a difference. The only thing that I have to do to initiate a connection is ping something to force the router to connect. Would it be possible for the server to assign the "unused" IP addresses of my subnet to use to get back out? Or, can I use the public IP addresses for the incoming traffic and NAT them to one of the other "unused" IP address or the IP address of the server itself? I do have a copy of Micro Images X-server software on my laptop, but I keep getting an error about permissions. I will check it out. I had a problem yesterday where I could not access my W2k Server until I shut down the Linux box. I guess it has something to do with Samba. If I get same problem again, I will shut down that service to see if that solves the problem. I do not know about SSH so I will try to find something online about it.

OK, this one gets a little more complicated, because you have real IPs to work with. This will require setting the linux box up to act as router/firewall after the Pipline router. With only 13 IPs, I should assume they're a block on the same subnet? Or are they "random"? Is the Pipline set to pass everything? I'm not clear on your need to force an internet connection by ringing your home phone, sort of a "wake-on-phone call" kinda' thing? If you have a modem that supports auto-answer, and hopefully it is not a winmodem, there might be a way run a script on answer that logs your home machine into your ISP. I'll ask around about this. Since this is a bit more involved than usual, and it's it already half-past midnight, and I'll be in Albany in the morning 'till Sunday nite, I hope you'll give me a chance to think it over. Forwarding real IPs through a linux firewall is a bit trickier than simply masquerading reserved internal network IPs with one real external IP. . The raptor should not interfere with an SSH connection, but it may get in the way of a VPN through the LAN. SSH can also do X-ll forwarding for gui enjoyment, so you might take a look at this.

[newbie] pppd dies and not all ram found
Hi all. I have installed mdk 7.1 and am very happy with it apart from two serious things: 1) I can't get ppp to work. Using kppp I input my dialup no , and after it connects I get a message saying "pppd has died unexpectedly". I get the message as soon as I try to connect with gnome ppp. I have not entered the ips of my ISP, I don't know them and didn't need them with caldera. Would this have caused it, and if so can I put in 0.0.0.0 for both dns servers (this is what is in it for caldera and it works). I did a whole fresh install and it still was happening. 2) Only 64mb of my 256mb of ram is recognised. In the installation in the field total ram , (found 64mb) i put in 256. If I reinstall how can I get all my ram to work? If these two probs can be fixed I would reinstall mandrake (for the 4th time...), I liked it loads apart from them.

[newbie] pppd suddenly stops working after part of 7.0 Deluxe installation
After installing MDK 7.0 from the installation disk, kppp works fine. After I install some package from the Contributors disk, I can't get kppp to work. It dials and logs into my ISP just fine. Then when pppd tries to start, it immediately quits. I think that it is trying to use /dev/pts/? instead of /dev/modem; however I can find nothing wrong with any of the scripts. I have looked in /etc/ppp. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Andy

Hi, all -- I had exactly the same problem with kppd, and with the kind help of others on this list solved it by increasing the timeout period.

Please help, I'm tearing my hair out and there's not much left! Roger Roger, when you set the timeouts in PPPD or Kppd whichever you use set them for at least 60 and preferably 90 seconds. If they are set for less than that you might be timing out just as the modem is trying to connect. Sometimes you get a quick connection and it does'nt show up as a problem but then when the servers are busy and connection isn't as fast you start timing out.Hope this isn't telling you something you already know but maybe it will help.

Re: [newbie] pppd dhclient
Hi, Try adding "defaultroute" to kppp to make the ppp connection the default route to the ISP's gateway. You should be able to have ppp0 and eth0 up at the same time and each will have a different IP address. ppp will use the ISP assigned IP address and eth0 should be set to a private IP address eg. 192.168.1.x where x is 1 to 254. Each interface needs a separate IP address because they are on separate IP networks. I don't know anything about dhcpcd. Have I missed the point about what you are trying to do ? Dean.

Certainly, the "Upgrade" installation doesn't do anything differently than might be done by upgrading those packages by hand, does it?

For your ISP, Rick, they are 209.165.6.251shang-ti.lightspeed.net 209.165.57.12tlaloc.lightspeed.net And AFAIK, he does need real numbers there, not even a *.*.*.* And it is part of Kppp's setup dialog box to do the edit on /etc/resolve.conf transparent to the user.

Notice the 30-second lag between the third and fourth line. After the connection (ppp0 -- /dev/ttyS0), it tries to start pppd (or something like that). After 30 seconds, it gives up (Terminating on signal 15.). Sounds like maybe the password or username are incorrect? Looks like a legitimate timeout to me. Try adding "kdebug 4" to /etc/ppp/options and retrying the connection. That should spit a bunch of messages to the system logs that we can use to troubleshoot this. -- Steve Philp Network Administrator Advance Packaging Corp. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Add 'debug' to your kppp options and it'll give us more information...
:)
I didn't get ANYTHING until kppp added debug to pppd's options.
Maybe you're talking about something else... Where do I add kppp
options? I'm in Windows (shudder) now since that's the only way I can
read my email. For now. I hope that gets remedied soon!
edit /etc/ppp/options, add a new line with debug on it.
By the way, someone posted a link to Partition Magic 4 recently. I
downloaded it and sent it to a friend (Brent). He says that it must be
the full version (on the grounds that it's much more full-featured than
what he used to have). Maybe it is... maybe it isn't. Anyway, it
supports resizing. That's nice and everything, but I don't have the
help file ("PMHELP.DAT"). Does anyone feel like emailing me a copy?

[newbie] pppd error
Hi, I've set up kppp to connect to my ISP and it dials and begins the login quite happily. Before it completes the connection, however, I get the error "The pppd daemon died unexpectedly" and have to quit. Can anyone help me resolve this and suggest a pppd configuration to use as a sample? I'm using an ISP with dynamic IP addresses. James. -- James Stewart - [EMAIL PROTECTED] | "Telecom ignored us and The Britlinks - http://www.britlinks.co.uk | democracy has died."

Re: [newbie] pppd error
Hi James I had the same problem and it stopped when I changed the connection speed setting to 115200 (I think), dont ask me why. I can now get the modem to dial and make a connection with my ISP but Netscape refuses to resolve any addresses--- so I still have to use Windows for my internet connection until I can get Linux to work properly. I have just upgraded to Mandrake 6.0, RedHat %.2 worked fine!
