No, those log entries actually mean it works. You only get the IP address,
if you are properly connected.
The missing ppp-compress-21 -26 and -24 are just some compression modules
you would use, if you dial into another Linux server catering for this type
of compression.
You can add the following to your conf.modules or modules.conf file (check
which one you have)
alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate
alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate
Your proplem however might be in your routing. Try:
route -n
you should get something like:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
192.168.100.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.1.10 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 U 0 0 0
ppp0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.10 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0
particularly important is the last line, the default route. If you do not
have it your internet traffic will not know where to go. You can try:
route add default ppp0
a better choice would be to have it assigned when you dial up. You would
have to add "defaultroute" to your pppd options.
Let us know how you go.
Hope this makes sense and works.

Bernhard

Subject: Problems connecting, "can't locate module..."
Hello everybody...
Do these error messages mean that my kernel is not configured properly, or
is something else going on here. I've been trying to setup ppp in RedHat
5.2 for days, and it's killing me. Please let me know if anyone can offer
any advice.
Below is a snippet from my /var/log/messages file:
<snip>
Oct 26 20:15:57 localhost pppd[2354]: Serial connection established.
Oct 26 20:15:57 localhost pppd[2354]: Using interface ppp0
Oct 26 20:15:57 localhost pppd[2354]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/modem
Oct 26 20:15:58 localhost modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-21
Oct 26 20:15:58 localhost modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-26
Oct 26 20:15:59 localhost modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-24
Oct 26 20:15:59 localhost pppd[2354]: local IP address 130.113.192.17
Oct 26 20:15:59 localhost pppd[2354]: remote IP address 130.113.192.6
<end snip>
I'd appreciate the help... this is the closest i've come to connecting.
The strange thing is that the first time using ppp, I used netcfg and it
worked perfectly... but only the first time. It's been royally screwed
since then.
Please help.
Thanks,
Kevin
