I'm seeing a strange UDP packet hitting mu PPP
interface roughly every second and it's keeping my
line up when not otherwise in use. It looks like
this:
[root@serv /root]# tcpdump udp -i ppp0 | grep 2348

It's wierd because 38.30.38.153 is the address of
my PPP interface:
[root@serv /root]# ifconfig ppp0

I've got an updated RH5.2 setup running PPP via an
external ISDN line, feeding a few Win98/Linux
boxes. My ipchains stuff looks like this:
[from
/etc/rc.d/rc.local]------------------------------------------
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr
# flush all rules

ipmasqadm portfw -f
# Startup PPP networking
pppd /dev/ttyS0 :208.137.248.4
=======================================================================
The third DENY statement is to kill those packets
but it hasn't worked.
I've tried fuser and netstat to no avail. I've
even looked up port 2348 and apart from a resource
tracking prog called RTS (not on my machine),
nothing is registered to use port 2348. I'm
gettin' worried!
Has anyone seen this before or can help? Thanks
in advance

I have a problem with RedHat 6.0 NFS

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi all:
I am having trouble getting my linksys 10/100 NIC to work on my linux
box. (RH 6, 2.2.15) . This is my second NIC, the other one being a
eepro100. The ifconfig output on the linksys interface has 50% carrier
errors.. and I have checked the cables and they look fine.. my dmesg is
filled with a message which reads "Switching eth1 to 100MB full
duplex..".. the other eepro100 interface works just fine with the same
set of cables.. I use the tulip driver that comes with RH for the
linksys card.
has anyone seen this kind of a message before on a linksys card?
thanks in advance

Subject: Autodialing PPP Gateway?
Date: Wed, 1 Sep 1999 09:06:00 -0400
Hello,
I've tried searching a bit for a program like this through freshmeat, but I
haven't had much luck. Basically, I have a 486 that I want to make a
communications server. In other words, I have a home network and modem
connected to it, and I would like to have it that it dials up my ISP
(username and password stored) whenever some sockets need to go outside of
the home network. With a settable timeout, it would disconnect from
inactivity.
Anyone care to point me towards a program that handles this? Much
appreciated...

Subject: PPP sending but not receiving packets?
Hi,
A fantastic problem for you, I've managed to create a one-way PPP link!
:)
Ok, I'm using RedHat Linux 5.2, kernel 2.0.36 with the kernal patched
with the 'demand' dialing patch which came with ppp-2.3.5. I've also an
ZyXEL omni.net external ISDN modem (definitely working on Windoze).
I've configured PPP by hand in /etc/ppp:
[/etc/ppp/options]
name nuke
lock
idle 300
ipcp-accept-remote
ipcp-accept-local
holdoff 10
connect /etc/ppp/dircon-chat-script
modem
crtscts
debug
kdebug 7
defaultroute
[/etc/ppp/dircon-chat-script]
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/sbin/chat -s -e -v \
TIMEOUT 3 \
ABORT BUSY \
ABORT 'NO ANSWER' \
ABORT 'NO CARRIER' \
'' 'ATB93S20=1S82=74S102=74' \
'OK' ATDI08450798200 \
CONNECT ''
and an appropriate pap-secrets file, which I won't disclose for obvious
reasons :*)
My ISP gives me an ISDN account with PAP authentication and dynamic IP.
So when I go:
pppd /dev/modem 115200
This spews out in /var/log/messages:
Sep 1 15:35:40 arnie pppd[6718]: pppd 2.3.5 started by root, uid 0

LOOKS GOOD DON'T IT! :)
Here's the ever popular routing table:
[root@arnie ppp]# route -n

Default routes look ok...
And why not an ifconfig?
[root@arnie ppp]# ifconfig

Note that there is already an error on the RX packets on ppp0.
So the next thing I try is to ping www.netscape.com:
[root@arnie ppp]# ping www.netscape.com
PING www-ld1.netscape.com (207.200.75.200): 56 data bytes

6 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
No dice, during this period the RX and TX lights on the modem blink in
expected fashion (TX pause RX, ...), so I pressed break.
Now another ifconfig:
[root@arnie ppp]# ifconfig -i ppp0
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:194.112.53.153 P-t-P:194.112.50.134

TX packets:15 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

Memory:9e8034-9e8c30
GOSH! 6 packets transmitted by ping, and 6 more RX errors...
Now, from another server connected to the internet, I can try to ping
the troublesome server:
webforce 8# ping 194.112.53.153
PING 194.112.53.153 (194.112.53.153): 56 data bytes
----194.112.53.153 PING Statistics----
5 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
Another 5 packets out, this time the RX light on the modem blinks, but
no TX follows.
[root@arnie ppp]# ifconfig -i ppp0
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:194.112.53.153 P-t-P:194.112.50.134

RX packets:8 errors:12 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:10
TX packets:15 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0
Memory:9e8034-9e8c30
GOSH! Another 5 pings and another 5 RX errors!
SO, it would seem that TXing works, but not RXing.
Anyone got any clues as to why this should be, or what I can try next?
Cheers!
Ellis.

It's wierd because 38.30.38.153 is the address of
my PPP interface:
[root@serv /root]# ifconfig ppp0
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:38.30.38.153 P-t-P:38.1.1.1
Mask:255.255.255.255

I've got an updated RH5.2 setup running PPP via an
external ISDN line, feeding a few Win98/Linux
boxes. My ipchains stuff looks like this:
[from
/etc/rc.d/rc.local]------------------------------------------
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr
# flush all rules
ipchains -F
# default policy: deny forwarding
ipchains -P forward DENY
# do not forward Windows garbage
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -s 0.0.0.0/0 137:139 -p
tcp -j DENY
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -s 0.0.0.0/0 137:139 -p
udp -j DENY
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -s 0.0.0.0/0 2348:2348
-p udp -j DENY
ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -s 172.16.1.0/24 -d
0.0.0.0/0
ipmasqadm portfw -f
# Startup PPP networking
pppd /dev/ttyS0 :208.137.248.4
=======================================================================
The third DENY statement is to kill those packets
but it hasn't worked.
I've tried fuser and netstat to no avail. I've
even looked up port 2348 and apart from a resource
tracking prog called RTS (not on my machine),
nothing is registered to use port 2348. I'm
gettin' worried!
Has anyone seen this before or can help? Thanks
in advance

Host names must be added to the DNS data base by a network administrator
before they can be used to access your host. Just defining your hostname
won't do it. The ppp-as10-14.nss.udel.edu is the DNS name of the IP
address used for that particular connection.

Sounds like a resolver problem. Have you configured /etc/resolv.conf with
nameservers? man 5 resolver.

You need single quotes: 'AT&F%E0&W0' to prevent the shell from
intercepting the ampersand.

I'd suggest trying export NAME=<my PAP name> instead. This is necessary
when exec'ing pppd although I'm not sure it's what's wrong here where
pppd is simply backgrounded and not exec'ed. But pppd doesn't know it's
supposed to do PAP so it's a likely candidate anyway.
