Hello all.
This may sound like a strange request as I already think I know how to
solve the problem!!!!
Connection to my ISP through Windoze NT is fine but when I connect with my
Linux box, I cannot ping anything outside of my IP address!!
I get a dynamic IP address from my ISP, my eth0 is 192.168.1.1 and am using
an internal Zoom 56K modem. All other settings and scripts seem fine from
the millions of e-mails sent to the list since joining.
The dialup works fine and the logs tell me that PPP has given me the
internal/external addresses of 192.168.1.1/10.0.0.1 (changed to protect the
guilty!) and the CCP protocol and proxyarp have failed. Does anyone know
what CCP is as I cannot find in any TCP/IP books??? I can ping 10.0.0.1
from the Windoze NT machine but neither machine can get out to the web.
I have checked the dialup prompts using a popup window (Win NT) and kermit
(Linux). Both connect correctly but give me a completely different IP
address to the PPP dialup!!!!
I have tested the connection by borrowing a Demon account (static IP rather
that dynamic) and with only the addition of the "otocol: ppp" line
everything works as it should, on both machines. Logs show that I have an
internal/external IP addresses of 10.0.0.1/10.0.0.1 (again, changed to
protect Demon)
The help desk from hell's only suggestion was to reduce my modem speed to
9600 (thanks a bunch!) and they are Unix based!
The easiest route seems to be to change ISP. If so, can any one recomend a
UK based ISP (Demon are top of the list at present, because it works and
they have a Leeds POP)?
Thanks in advance.
