It means ipportfw doesn't think the support is in the kernel. Double
check the kernel config and make sure ipportfw is tuned on and double
check the kernel install and make sure you're really running the new
kernel.

The root of the trouble is likely in the chat expect/send CONNECT ""
or CONNECT ''. You'll need to find the chat script and change
this to CONNECT '\d\c' to introduce a second of delay and suppress
the carriage return that "" or '' sends.
It would also be a good idea to remove the expect/send after this one that
must be something like ~-- '' and which throws out *two* confusing
carriage returns when the ISP is slow to start PPP. It actually did do
that here although it could be because the ISP was already confused by
the first carriage return from the CONNECT expect/send. I'd remove it
anyway.
I can't tell you which script contains the chat expect/sends since I
don't run RH.

Hi!
I have the following problem:
I've configured a linux server in my network
as dialin-server with pppd.
Now I can connect from an NT-client via modem
to the whole network (ping works; share-connect
with explitly written destination - net use z: \\host\share -
also works).
I've also set up a DNS-server on the linux-server that
I can use from the NT-client via modem.
But now my problem:
I can't see the WINDOWS-hosts on the network in
the Network-Neighborhood of the NT-client although
I can connect to them.
Please help - what's wrong?
Thanks in advance

Sounds like we are stuck in the same place. Which version of Sygate are
you using? Not that it has made a difference for me either using 2.0 or
the newly released 3.0. In the 3.0 there are some logs that show the
machine making contact, but for some reason it is not getting the
resolved names back. I also have a Win 98 machine on the same network
where everything work fine using 192.168.0.1 as the Gateway and DNS.
Let me know what you find out.

Subject: dialup PPP problem - log messages
Can anyone suggest a direction for tracking down a PPP dialup problem?
The modem dials, the ISP answers, a connection seems to be established,
but the connection times out after that.
I've tried writing scripts to feed information to the ISP. I've tried
logging in through minicom and Win95's hyperterminal. Sending logs of
these sessions to the ISP brings a complaint from them that I'm "logging
into a different service of the IBM gateway". They gave me a sequence
of &s to send, but it never works. The sequence of characters the ISP
recommended seems to be from their Web sites SLIP recommendations, not
PPP, so I suspect that they were giving me bad advice. I suspect that
I'm not using the correct protocols somehow, but I have no idea what the
problem is.
The /var/log/messages entried from below came from a brand new ppp
connection created using Control Panel. PAP was enabled and I have
correctly set the ISP's DNS addresses.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I have two ne2000 pci cards and have no problem with them being auto
detected and proper interrupts assigned at boot time. Instead of the
ne2k-pcl module I just use the ne module. Just for laughs, try changing
your conf.modules to:
alias eth0 ne

I don't know ipchains syntax (yet), but I'd add a last rule denying

Works fine with the old firewall.
ipfwadm -I -f

ipfwadm -O -f
ipfwadm -O -p deny
ipfwadm -F -p deny

ipfwadm -F -a deny -S 0.0.0.0/0 -D 0.0.0.0/0 -o
Something like that should do with ipchains, too.

My advice is: Try the browser and see if it works! I have my network setup
with Linux as a gateway and ping doesn't work from Linux machine or Win
machines, yet I am able to use the browser and email on ALL machines.
Make sure the DNS server IP address is set ip on all your machines !

Date: Sat, 03 Apr 1999 13:27:31 -0500
I'm trying to get ppp 2.3.7 going in Linux 2.2. I have ppp 2.2.0 successfully
running under Linux 2.0.35, but under Linux 2.2, ppp 2.3.7 just hangs. I've
traced the hang to a call to gethostbyname() in ipcp.c. What I'd like to know is
why does this call work under 2.0, but not under 2.2? I use the same /etc/hosts
and /etc/host.conf. Maybe 2.0 wasn't rigorous enough and 2.2 is? If so, what can
I do to fix things?
In /etc/hosts, I have:
127.0.0.1 boomer.icehouse.com boomer
127.0.0.1 loopback localhost
In /etc/host.conf I have:
order hosts, bind
multi on
When I step in the debugger, hostname is set to "boomer"
This call in ipcp.c never seems to return:
if ((hp = gethostbyname(hostname)) != NULL) {
I don't run BIND or named or any DNS stuff locally.
My /etc/resolv.conf just has:
domain mindspring.com
nameserver IP address they gave me
What can I do to fix this (and hopefully not break anything else, like
especially sendmail)?

It does in a leap frog sort of fashion... because 192.168.0.1
(SyGate NIC Card 1) passes the request to SyGate NIC Card 2
(dedicated connection) which contains my ISP address for the Net
and the DNS servers. The second Windows Client machine
(192.168.0.2) works in this exact manner. It only points to the
gateway 192.168.0.1 and lists 192.168.0.1 as it's DNS server.
Everything from HTTP to FTP, Email and beyond works seamlessly.
I tried the fix you suggest earlier in hopes that it would do
the job. I added the DNS servers for my ISP to the list of
resolvers on the Linux but it didn't make a difference. Adding
external servers to the hosts file works, so it's pretty obvious
Linux isn't recognizing 192.168.0.1 as the DNS, or is not
passing the info through SyGate.
Let me ask this. The 'Default Gateway' is set to 192.168.0.1, I
read someplace in my travels that the default gateway is used
LAST. How can I ensure that it reads my primary gateway first?
My thinking is close to yours in that Linux might possibly be
looking around the LAN for these things (URLS to resolve) and
never even trying to search externally.
I checked and nothing that would resolve addresses seems to be
running on the Linux server so I don't think there is something
there that is 'blocking' the path. Could I be wrong?

.255 is the broadcast address for a segment, IIRC.

First of all, don't use /dev/cua? devices. They are deprecated in
2.2.x kernels, and will not be supported in the long term. Use
/dev/ttyS? instead.

Who are you running this as? If not root, make sure that you actually
have execute permissions on /usr/sbin/pppd. pppd needs to be setuid
root if you plan on running it as anybody but root (for it to
configure the network device and routing tables).
If you're running it as root, well, let's see ...
Obviously, the modem is working, since you can dial up using minicom,
so it's not a hardware problem.
Is chat in your path? I found I had to include the full path for
chat, as in:
pppd /dev/ttyS2 38400 connect '/usr/sbin/chat -f /etc/ppp/script'
BTW: what speed modem is it? You may want to set the speed to 115200,
so with compression and all, it'll go as fast as the modem will
support, even if it's only a 28.8 or so. Make sure that the actual
serial port is a 16550A or better configured for spd_vhi with
setserial.
