Hi all!
I need an urgent help!
I try to configure a dial up internet on my other machine.
The problem is that I do not have an Ethernet card in it,
and so I don't no how could I generate a ppp interface (like ppp0)
for the connection, or how could I set up a connection without it.
So far I do these things:
I set up the connection with kppp (I think it is the fastest and
easyest way). Then I tried to connect. The "CONNECTION" is done,
but the authentication could not be done because ppp0 is not
there.
I read pppd manual, but I didn't find anything related to this problem.
I tried to generate a ppp0 interface with ifconfig but I couldn't do
it without an ethernet card:
# ifconfig ppp0 192.168.0.111 netmask 255.255.255.0
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
ppp0: unknown interface: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
ppp0: unknown interface: No such device
my ifconfig is like this:
#ifconfig -a
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:214 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:214 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:14272 (13.9 Kb) TX bytes:14272 (13.9 Kb)
I use Red Hat 7.3 (2.4.18-3 kernel i686),
and a winmodem (which I could use with the help of this List).
Tell me what other informations should I tell you.
Do I need an Ethernet card if I need just a one machine dial up
Internet connection?
Or are there any other ways?
And if there is some way, what should I do?
Please help (urgently)!
Thanks in advance,
Akos
