Hi
I have a problem with pppd acting as a dialin server. From time to time
pppd gives the following error:
pppd[7981]: pppd 2.3.5 started by root, uid 0
pppd[7981]: Using interface ppp0
pppd[7981]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/tty00
pppd[7981]: Couldn't set interface address: Address 192.168.5.10 already
exists
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
pppd[7981]: found interface ne0 for proxy arp
pppd[7981]: local IP address 192.168.5.10
pppd[7981]: remote IP address 192.168.5.11
The options file is:
115200
asyncmap 0
netmask 255.255.255.0
proxyarp
lock
crtscts
modem
ms-dns 192.168.5.5
ms-dns 212.77.146.20
debug
auth
usehostname
idle 1800
The IP address it reports is the IP address bound to the ethernet card on
the computer (as you can see in the line after: ne0). Running tcpdump on
the dialin server shows that icmp echo requests reach the dialin server
but no replies are sent back. This happens with Windows clients and linux
clients. The dialin server worked fine for a couple of weeks before this
started today (it happened once before, but kill -HUP <getty PID> solved
the problem, or at least I thought it did).
