Hmm.. if that is a tupli card then it should be supported out of the

No. These are normal ppp negotiation. If you don't want them to show in
/var/log/messages, edit your /etc/syslog.conf so it doesn't log daemon.debug
messages to /var/log/messages, and send HUP to syslogd.

Not sure on this. I don't know what your scripts (ddup, etc) do. For my
installation, I use the defaultroute & usepeerdns pppd options, and get
ip-up to add the nameservers to /etc/resolv.conf. I pinched the code from
the /usr/doc/ppp*/scripts directory.

hi everybody
i have tried to find the info, and haven't been successful.
i am running ipfw right now on RH5.2 quite well. i am planning to upgrade
to RH6.0 and use ipchains for firewall/NAT/proxy/etc. however, i am rather
stumped on the implementation of ipchains.
is there a specific config file that needs to be somewhere? if it does need
to be somewhere - where? what goes into it? same as ipfw config file?
can someone post a sample file, and where to put it?

Subject: Dial-up fails with 2.2.x
Date: Sat, 18 Sep 1999 14:10:16 +1000
Hi all.
I've just upgraded to RedHat 6.0, using 2.2.5 kernel. I've been running
2.0.36 for a while, had mgetty set up nicely so I could dial in from a
Windoze box using ppp. Worked a treat.
Now I can dial in, and ppp seems to work fine, but when I telnet or ftp to
the Linux box, it works initially, but then slows to a crawl, essentially
becoming unusable. Ping from the windoze box times out, where it averaged
~250ms when I first connect. There doesn't seem to be anything in the logs -
from telnet, ftp, or ppp.
Where should I start looking to solve this?
Thanks,
ROSCO

Hi,
Diald seems to work from my linux box, but once the ppp connection
has been
established, the W98 machines behind it lose connectivity to the
linux box.
I am running kernel 2.0.37 with version 0.19 of diald.
If anyone can give me a pointer regarding rules I may need to set in

I just downloaded and installed WEBMIN on my RH 6.0 Box and must say it is a
great product, easy to install, well designed, does provide good
administration but lacks a few things:
- Documentation.. poor. Its website only cares for three items in its FAQ
- No help whatsoever
Since it is a UNIX product, lacks a few things Linuxconfig takes care, like
ppp configuration and so on.
But its great !!
If somebody from its group read this, post a message, webmin deserves a
discussion group.

Subject: Please Help: Frame Errors?!
Date: Fri, 17 Sep 1999 10:50:41 -0700
Hello y'all,
Not long ago I posted a query about my difficulties in
establishing a ppp link. I have received several helpful responses, but
nothing so far has actually fixed the problem.
This is the problem. I dial in to the peer and negotiation of the
connection appears to be achieved successfully. However, any data
(as opposed to negotiation) packets received from the peer arrive with
frame errors. For example, every received packet which I view with
pppdump
shows BAD FCS residue = (some hex number). I also see the frame errors
with ifconfig. Also, after several of these frame errors, it appears
that the peer gives up sending me packets at all. I can transmit
packets
just fine, but since the peer stops responding, I might as well be
sending
them to /dev/null.
My question to y'all is this: What, precisely, causes frame
errors? I am disinclined to believe that compression may be the
culprit,
since when I disable various forms of compression in the pppd options,
the problem does not go away.
For those of you interested in the details, I am running ppp-2.3.8
on a RH6.0 box at home, with a static IP number connection to the peer
running ppp-2.3.8 on a Sparc 5. With the exception of frame errors, the
output of ifconfig and route are completely normal, so there is probably
little to be gained by posting them here. If anyone is interested I
do have raw pppdump output available.
Thanx,
Benjamin Alan Weaver

produce output when I type dlport eth0 10base2. Then I try to
ping 192.168.1.1 but I get
eth0: timeout waiting for Tx RDC
and no packets are transmitted, according to the ping statistics I get
after ctrl-c.
Am I missing some piece of information here?

Subject: Need help to understand ppp/pppd behaviour after re-boot on RH 6.0
Date: Fri, 17 Sep 1999 10:54:56 -0700
I am using the automatic dialing features of pppd, not diald. When I first
boot the machine in the evening or morning, clicking on Netscape will
initiate a dial out and establish a connection to my ISP using CHAP
authentication. So far, I have had to unplug the phone line from the
internal modem to actually break the connection. I think removing "persist"
from /etc/ppp/options will allow the termination of Netscape to actually
cause the connection to be broken (I hope...). Subsequent initiations of
Netscape seem to work just fine as long as I do not re-boot.
If I re-boot for some reason the modem will still dial out (and all of the
log entries appear the same as before -- debug is set and chat is run with
the verbose option), but then the connection seems to stop after sending the
first LCP request. Nothing comes back from the ISP. My system says
something about "request sent 9 times" before it gives up and terminates the
connection. After powering down and letting the system sit for several
hours, things will be OK again until the next re-boot. I have tried
powering down for an hour or so and that is not long enough. Since I do not
leave the machine running when I am not around, I do not know whether the
power down is a factor or just the amount of time.
Can anyone provide some hints as to where to start looking? So far, the
HOW-TOs, etc. have not been able to help.
Thanks

I would do this:
1. Put 1 nic in Frankenstein and set it to have the a local 192.168.x.y
address. Make sure that the thinnet stuff is at least six feet long and
that you have the proper terminators in place. You need not specify any
sort of default gateway and for that matter, do not add any additional route
commands nor any ipchains commands!
You should be able to ping between the laptop and Frankenstein. If you
can't then you might have a bad card or two. I have had cards that have
blown BNC interfaces but OK UTP interfaces. For these cards, if you can
boot to MS-DOS, most cards have diagnostic programs that will checkout the
hardware. If they were from the same vendor, then you could actually bounce
diag packets between them. Alas they are not.
2. Assuming all is OK, you can then add in the second nic to Frankenstein.
You should not need to add any static routes. For your IP chains, something
as simple as:
ipchains -P forward DENY
ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQ
I assume that you want the laptop to communication through Frankenstein to
the internet. Once you get this working, you can then add in other ipchains
commands to fully protect yourself.
Good luck and let us know if this helps,

Hi All,
I just got an ADSL modem and want to get it running on my Linux Server
(Red Hat 5.2) so I can split the connection. My ISP is using PPP over
Ethernet and does not support Linux yet. I've been able to get my
server to split a regular modem connection, so I think I shouldn't have
to do that much to change it. I've been using netconfig, which has a
PPP option but it appears only to be set up to use a regular modem. Can
anyone give me some pointers or references to documents that might

and one Slackware 4.0 machine. The NTW machine has its own registered IP
address while all the W98 machines have 192.160.0.x addresses. The Slack
machine has both a registered IP and a 192.168.0.x address. It is used as a
router/firewall. All machines, except the Slack machine, use the Slack
machine as the default gateway and hence all traffic flows through the Slack
machine.
On the NT box all I can see in the network browser is itself. The W98
machines can see each other but not the NT box. Right now I am using
lmhosts files but I could not get this cross net/subnet browsing to work
using the WINS server of Samba either. Regardless of the fact that I cannot
"browse" the other machines, I can still connect to them without any
problem.
Any help with the cross subnet browsing issue would be appreciated.

Correction: Packets are transmitted, but none received back. That
is, 100% packet loss.

At the risk of giving you even more to read, might I suggest
http://axion.physics.ubc.ca/ppp-linux.html
It is a step by step guide to setting up and debugging ppp.
