Ahh, thats nothing... Try to talk to netvision! I had a problem (I think all Netvision's ADSL people in tel aviv area had), that I got a message on my Linux FW: pptp LCP terminated by peer..
Tried to talk to Netvision. They don't support Linux. Ok. Booting to Win XP - ahh, the same problem, just windows says I have a bad user/pass (weird, I do remember my user/pass)... call Bezeq ADSL.. Linux? we're not supporting Linux. XP? no we don't support it.. test with guest@OTest - that works, meaning the ADSL itself is ok (didn't they hear that a person could actually telnet to his ADSL modem and diagnose and reboot remotely?) Going back to netvision - doing again checking, everything seems ok, until the support person remember - they have a problem with the ADSL service with their servers. 30 minutes top and it will be fixed. 6 hours passed and at 4 AM it was fixed. (netvision - what is it? do you run the Red Back on NT or what?) bloody bastards, I tell you that.... -- Hetz Ben Hamo [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Thursday 13 December 2001 22:41 pm, Noam Meltzer wrote: > hi! > just thought some1 would want to consider this before he decides to move > to internet zahav. > since yesterday morning i was unable to connect to zahav with my adsl. > (it is connected to a linux box, doing masq) > today i called internet zahav technical support, asking if they have > some known problem. they claimed not. after hearing i have linux, the > guy, named Yotam, instantly said "we dont support linux". > fine. but i tell you that the problem is with your service because i > manage to start the ppp connection, it just doesn't work (suddenly > yestreday's morning after half a year it works great). > he convinced me to try to talk with bezek. > after ***20*** minutes of waiting on the line, a guy named Yosi answered > and for 15 min. we tried to debug the problem with voodoo (which i > already tried even before i called zahav) - shutting down the computer > restarting the adsl, after the sync turn on the computer - bla bla. > he tried to check my line from remote and said its ok. and bezeq had no > problem. i tended to believe him. > now i went deeper (maybe to late), added some rules to syslog.conf and > tried to connect. now i suddenly saw that i manage to establish ppp > connection but when i try to authenticate using pap, i got a mesg from > pppd "Your group is not active". > this msg. says one thing - i have a problem with the user on zahav's > servers. reasonable to me? not to the help desk person named Chen from > internet zahav i was now talking with. > Chen, which reminded me more a secretary than an helpdesk said > immediately that the problem is with the linux - OFCOURSE. > I tried to explain him whats pptp, ppp, and pap. but no success, it was > like talking with me japanese. i decided to offer to connect my win2k > machine to the adsl, while commenting that i don't belive it will work. > then he said - "uh, but i still don't support win2k" (what the > hell?!?!?!)"i'll use my pictures" (he has jpgs of how win2k > configuration should look like) > after configuring the win2k exactly as he wants it (now click the right > button of the mouse.... lalalal) and trying to connect - tada - it > didn't work. > now he goes check on the server - "uh, sorry sir, but it seems like your > user is for some reason not defined to use adsl" (what the f**k?!?!?) > "i'll give you a temporary user until your user will be fixed". > now - wouldn't it save me 25 min. of radiating my had with the cell > phone because i don't have phone the pc, and a bruto of 1 hour from my > time waiting on the phone, if they would only try to check my user on > the server FROM THE BEGINNING? ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
