Hi all,
Basically when I run pppd on both machines I dont get an interface,
ie `ifconfig -a' doesnt show any ppp ifaces
According to the PPP howto it is very easy, but alas
pc1 /dev/ttyS0 |=======================| /dev/ttyS0 pc2
null-modem cable
Test connectivity: run getty -L 38400 /dev/ttyS0 on pc2
run minicom on pc1
with appropriate options set
--> get a login -- OK
remove getty, try to set up pppd:
on pc1 /usr/sbin/pppd noauth crtscts lock \
192.168.101.3:192.168.101.4 /dev/ttyS0 38400
on pc2 /usr/sbin/pppd noauth crtscts lock \
192.168.101.4:192.168.101.3 /dev/ttyS0 38400
(and many variations on this...)
Only get like:
May 11 10:25:44 debian0 pppd[678]: pppd 2.4.0 started by root, uid 0
I think I should see like:
May 11 10:15:01 debian0 pppd[652]: pppd 2.4.0 started by root, uid 0
May 11 10:15:01 debian0 pppd[652]: Using interface ppp0
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
May 11 10:15:01 debian0 pppd[652]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/3
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
May 11 10:15:31 debian0 pppd[652]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
May 11 10:15:31 debian0 pppd[652]: Connection terminated.
May 11 10:15:31 debian0 pppd[652]: Exit.
which is just the log from just `pppd' in an xterm
So I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction?
