Short Guide on How to run a Win95 Connection with PPPD
- ------------------------------------------------------
1. Do not mess around with the Win95 configuration.
Do not manually configure DNS, Scripts etc.
Do not switch on the terminal windows.
Accept all defaults or better leave it as
it was at installation.
2. You need to have a getty program that supports
automatic PPP protocol detection such as mgetty-0.99.
Mgetty is available from
hpsystem2.informatik.tu-muenchen.de:
/pub/comp/networking/communication/modem/mgetty
Install mgetty and enable the following line in
/usr/local/etc/mgetty+sendfax/login.config:
# Automatic PPP startup on receipt of LCP configure request.
# mgetty has to be compiled with "-DAUTO_PPP" for this to work.
# Warning: Case is significant, AUTOPPP or autoppp won't work!
#
/AutoPPP/ - - /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap login passive
3. Configure PPP on Linux
A) Add a line
dns-addr 192.168.1.1
to your /etc/ppp/options file. Be sure to replace
192.168.1.1 with a valid Name Server IP Address.
B) Make sure that your /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file is set
up correctly. It should allow your users in /etc/passwd
to establish ppp connections without a password. pppd will
check against passwords in /etc/passwd!
If you are having trouble with authentication then remove
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets completely and it will usually work.
4. Configure Win95
Click on Dialup-Connection
A. Enter phone number of your linux server
B. Enter username when prompted
C. Enter password when prompted
Win95 should connect to your Linux PPPD without problems and automatically
configure all IP-Addresses, Netmasks and DNS Servers. You can immediately
start Netscape, Internet Explorer or any other TCP/IP tools.
