Subject: another one with ppp problems
Date: Mon, 31 May 1999 21:07:45 -0400
I have been looking everywhere for help i have gone to how tos and mini
how tos i looked up stuff on the web i asked my friends and now I am at
a loss.
When I am connected to the internet I get all my chat stuff done the ppp
session begins and my computer starts to send out lcp configure packets
these get returned and i get an error about serial line not 8 bit clean
or something like that.
In the how to it said that with this problem you might not be login in
correctly but I used minicom to check that and the second problem is
your connection might be really slow. So I do the stuff about the slow
connection it says I usually connect at about 45000 but it takes about 2
minutes for the ppp session to actually begin.
What I have done so far about the slow connection is follow the ppp
howto I have made another entry in my chat script that waits for the ~
to happen before handing it over to pppd. I have also increased my max
lcp configure to 60. Is there something else that I can do to get this
done? I have sent an email to my isp with no responce as of yet. Sorry
for the length of the explanation if you need logs just tell me but it
is the 8 bit not clean that is the real concern.
TIA

I'm not using dhcp - I have the dhcp server turned off on the Cisco 675,
and I'm not using dhcp on the windoze98 side either.
Anyway, I found that everything works ok in the 2.0.36 kernel, so
I checked out /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes, tweaked a few
things, and am up and running with the 2.2.9 kernel.
...now if I can just find a way to get my logitech wheelmouse
wheel working in linux...

Our new DNS server:
Works locally. NSlookup find both DNs assigned on the machine and remote
DNs.
Can be interogated by DNS elsewhere (our ISP) who returns the info as we
assigned it for registered domain names.
Reports locally programmed DNs to an external machine set to use the Linux
box as a DNS.
Will NOT report a remote DN to the exteral (W98 or netserver on our network)
machine.
It will find those under nslook up or ping, but won't do it for and external
machine.
Any Ideas???
Thanks

It's on this site along with almost ever rpm you could ever need. I believe
4.1.2 is the lastest version. You may need to recompile your kernel to get
this to work also.

I just log into machine as root, start the PPP connection, then F2 and log
in as normal user. Easy way to have access for other users.

I guess first I'd have to figure out what all the parameters are...
hope that's not a big deal.

I suppose this makes some sense...but I guess I don't understand why in Windows, I
can run Hyperterm, which does what minicom does, more or less, and I can get my
shell account, no problem. Also, I don't always get the garbage in minicom--I
don't know what setting I have to tweak to get it, but sometimes I did and
sometimes I didn't.

Trouble is, it works fine under Windows. And I ran the check that
3Com has to see if the line could do 56K, in case I wanted to
upgrade modems, and the line came out OK. So, there is no
obvious problem with the line.
Also, the connection was made immediately. As soon as the
ISP modem made its tone, my modem connected in a very short
burst of that static-y sound that a modem makes. Normally,
when connecting under windows, the ISP modem makes one tone
for a bit, then a higher tone. Then my modem connects with a long
burst of that static-y sound and maybe some other sounds as the
modems talk (and the static-y sound changes a bit too) and finally
the connection is established. This whole process takes...I don't
know, 5-10 seconds, maybe? Right now, under Linux, the connection
is made super-fast: ISP modem sounds a tone, my modem does
a short burst of the static-y thing and in...say, 3 seconds, we're done,
with a 1200 bps connection. There seems to be no time for
negotiation anywhere in there.
Thanks for your continued efforts to help.

Well, if you can't find it, it sounds like it's not really
installed, is it? Do you have any other ftpd programs around? Sounds like
your inetd.conf is pointing to in.ftpd and not finding it, so you'll either
need to point your inetd.conf to some other ftpd or properly install in.ftpd.

Hi,
Anyone get fetchmail working? When I run fetmail, I got the
following error:
skipping poll of excite.com, eth0/10.1.2.8 IP address excluded
My machine(10.1.2.9) is connected via another Linux box (10.1.2.8)
which acts as a gateway. Another problem is that fetchmail should
poll mail.excite.com, not excite.com. How do I configure this?
Thanks,

I managed to get everything to work, thanks guys. It turned out that
everything was correctly setup as I had it but I had made a typing error
that had screwed things up. I wasted a lot of time with that one. Also I
fooled with the properties of the folders and was able to allow the users to
write to the directories. Thanks to whom ever gave me that tip.
