Jack,
Something just occurred to me.
Are you loading EPPPD "high" with
Connection @lh epppd.exe>>PPP.LOG
If so, then you'll need to change this line
IP_Address PPP
Change it to
IP_Address BOOTP
With "IP_Address PPP", Arachne looks at PPP.LOG to see if EPPPD is loaded
With "IP_Address BOOTP", PPP.LOG is not used to see if you are online.
I am currently connected using
Connection @lh epppd.exe>>PPP.LOG
IP_Address BOOTP
IP_Grab IP address set to
This is my current PPP.LOG
---begin PPP.LOG---
---end PPP.LOG---
That's right.... it does not exist.
For some reason that I do not understand, the redirect into PPP.LOG is
not working when EPPPD is loaded high.
This might explain why it works OK with EPPPDD (debug version)
Perhaps the redirect into PPP.LOG _is_ working when EPPPDD is loaded high.
I'll get EPPPDD and test this theory.
------------------------
That was it!!!
Here's my current setup.
Connection @lh epppdd.exe>PPP.LOG
IP_Address PPP
IP_Grab local
---begin PPP.LOG---
sifaddr ppp0: local 204.179.144.60, remote 204.179.144.20, netmask 255.255.255.0.
---end PPP.LOG---
As you see, I also had to change my IP_Grab line to indicate "local".
(the word preceding my IP address in PPP.LOG)
When using EPPPD.EXE, this doesn't seem to matter.
("IP address set to" is _not_ what my ISP sends)
So, from what I can see.
This problem exists only if EPPPD.EXE is loaded "high".
EPPPDD.EXE _can_ be loaded high and everything works fine.
