Hi,
I am having a really frustrating problem. PPP and SLIP used to work for
me when I was running 3.0.3, but since I have upgraded to 4.0 they have
stopped. Both of them connect either through dip or pppd and establish
the network connection, but I cannot utilize the network connection.
I am asking for help after spending days reading through _Running Linux_
by Matt Welsh, and the LInux Network Administrators Guide by Olaf Kirch.
I have also consulted my sysadmin, but so far no luck. Please help...
I am getting these errors in my log:
Nov 29 19:53:48 localhost pppd[522]: Serial connection established.
Nov 29 19:53:49 localhost pppd[522]: Using interface ppp0

Nov 29 19:57:53 localhost pppd[522]: Connection terminated.
Nov 29 19:57:53 localhost pppd[522]: Exit.
I kill the connection myself. The same happens with SLIP. I can run
netstat -rn and get the default gateway. I get this as well:
[root@gnostic /root]# ifconfig -a
lo Link encap:Local Loopback

Trying 128.100.2.10...
Connected to 128.100.2.10.
Escape character is '^]'.
telnet> Connection closed.
However, sometimes if I try another address at the network, such as
128.100.3.197 I get through and make a connection. Then I can do what I
normally do, though it is very slow. Sometimes I just get this:
[root@gnostic /root]# telnet 128.100.2.10
Trying 128.100.2.10...
and not any further.
I can never connect to the remote p-t-p ip address, and the nameserver
lookups never work.
This is my hosts file:
127.0.0.1 localhost gnostic gnostic.cs.toronto.edu gnostic.io.org
This is my host.conf file:
order hosts,bind
multi on
This is my networks file:
default 0.0.0.0
loopnet 127.0.0.0
cs.toronto-net 128.100.0.0
I connect with :
/usr/sbin/pppd connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/csri.chat' \
/dev/cua1 38400 debug defaultroute
and a chat script that always worked before.
If anyone can help I would appreciate it very much.
Jeff
