Hi,
I've been making PPP connections from my home PC to work PC for almost a
year with no problems. Recently, from my HOME PC I cannot ping anything
beyond my work LAN. If I telnet into my WORK PC and then ping, I have
no problem reaching other hosts. As far as I can tell, nothing has
changed on either my HOME or WORK PC.
The problem seems to be sporadic. Sometimes it works, sometimes it
doesn't.
Both PC are running RedHat 4.0 with 2.0.23 kernels. Also, both PC's are
using ppp-2.2.0f-2. I have included my PPP scripts just in case someone
sees something I may have left out.
Any suggestions or comments will be appreciated.
==========================================
The following is my ppp-on script used from my HOME PC:
#!/bin/sh
TELEPHONE=888-8888
ACCOUNT=AAAAAAA
PASSWORD=PPPPPPP
LOCAL_IP=192.9.200.1
REMOTE_IP=0.0.0.0
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
export TELEPHONE ACCOUNT PASSWORD
DIALER_SCRIPT=/usr/sbin/ppp-on-dialer
exec /usr/sbin/pppd lock modem crtscts /dev/cua1 38400 \
$LOCAL_IP: \
netmask $NETMASK defaultroute connect $DIALER_SCRIPT
---------------------------------------
The following is the ppplogin script for my WORK PC:
#!/bin/sh
# PPP Server Login Script
# Turn off messages to terminal
mesg n
# Turn off echoing
stty -echo
# Run pppd on top of this sh process
exec /usr/sbin/pppd -detach silent modem crtscts proxyarp
