Quick point: you'll probably want to use a number much higher than
28800 to allow for compression. There's no harm from using the max of
115200. (unless you're using a much slower modem - my 2400 didn't
like it)

That's curious... It should start spitting a jumble of odd characters
out when it's ready to start PPP. Perhaps it's using some
authentication that I don't know - PAP or CHAP - though I don't
*think* that it would ask for your login in that case. Did it work in
windows without tweaking?

A MUCH lower error rate.
Try replacing the cables.
(And, yes, you can see assymetric failures with bad twisted pair cables,
since one pair is Tx and one is Rx, the system with the icky Rx pair
will have problems receiving, though less problems sending.)
You may also want to see why you're running in promiscuous mode: that
will generate a LOT of extra interrupts (though not too bad on a
two-machine LAN).

Ok..... there is a little app called linuxconf, when you create a route in
that app, it stays there, even on boot up. It's quite easy to use. You'll
see. Alternatively, you could create a file in your rc.d files to auto
execute the command you run.
I would opt for the first... it's the most relyable.

Interesting problem. I'd like to know what you find out. Some ideas:
- Include the exact error messages you get when something acts different
from how you want it,
- If you can run the pppds at either end with each pppd control terminal
set to that of the ssh endpoint process (or its child shell), you should
be able to establish the link. Essentially, the ppp interface at each
end would be bound to the pseudo-terminal device, which ssh would then
route over the physical network interface that routes to the other
machine. In theory as I understand it anyway.

Hi,
I installed a second ethernet card on a linux microserver. When I type
dmesg, I see that the Kernel is aware of and loaded the driver for that
ethernet card. When I type ifconfig, there is nothing about eth1, that is
the second ethernet card I have installed!
Any ideas what I should do?
Also, how do I get the IP addresses for the router and hup?
Thanks

Stressed,
I had the same problem with my LAN a while back. I trashed all the windows
boxen, but if I remember correctly, I had to go into my ftp client software (on
the windows machines) and set firewall/proxy settings to passive or something
like that. I don't have any window clients to verify the exact settings at the
moment, but just fiddle with the proxy/firewall settings. it was PASSV or
passive, or something similar to that. Good luck, and remember, if you were to
just switch to all Linux, you wouldnt have to worry about such things anymore
;)

Have a look at

"Lightweight Directory Access Protocol: What it is, why you want it".
Summary
LDAP can do many, various, wonderful things. But in a lightweight installation
of
the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, perhaps its most useful feature for
the
harried sysadmin is that it helps prevent users from bugging you to ask about
other users' e-mail addresses. Mark Komarinski and Cary Collett lead the way.

It means that some other process is using the modem's IRQ and preventing
pppd from getting the modem device file's ( /dev/ttySx, x = whatever )
attributes. "cat /proc/interrupts" to find out what IRQs your devices

Also, at least one of the NICs must be configured with nonstandard
IO address if they are otherwise identical, and some drivers might
not be too happy supporting more thatn one NIC anyway.

I've read about 6 How-To docs and tried everything I can think of. I can
get minicom to work no problem. Occasionally I can get pppd to dial out but
never a connection. I followed W.G. Unruh's howtoto the letter and to no

phone # to the /dev/ttyS0 port and get it to dial and connect so I know I
can reach the device. Tonight I got a message that the kernel lacks ppp
support. I thought this was a module used when needed but now I wonder...
The modem is question is an external USRobotics Sportster 56K X2 faxmodem.
Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
