Hi, this is very strange... I can connect to my Debian box using PPP from Windows 95 using the AutoPPP feature of mgetty, but I can not connect from Windows NT (well, sort of.)
What happens is that in the "Server Type:TCP/IP Properties" dialog of the dial-up networking connection, the user can specify if the server will assign the IP address and the DNS server addresses, or it will be assigned manually. I have found that Windows 95 can connect to the Debian box when BOTH the IP address and the DNS addresses are assigned by the server. However, with Windows NT Workstation 4.0 (with Service Pack 2), if the DNS address is assigned by the server, the connection isn't succesful (Windows NT disconnects from the server after the succesful authentication and after getting a timeout - it sits there looking for something that never arrives.) In order to have a succesful connection with Windows NT the DNS has to be assigned manually (the IP address can be assigned by the server). Does any one know/have a reason for this behavior? Thanks, E.- -- Eloy A.
