I presume you have setup mgetty properly on the server side. as you indicate that win9x can connect and the details looks OK. The problem seems to be that you have not created a ppplogin account for your unix login. For each ppplogin account on the server side I have made a user account called "user" (replace with appropriate) this account is a ppplogin account in the file /etc/passwd you have these details user:x:5xx:5xx::/home/user:/etc/ppp/ppplogin-user (replace with appropriate) I have made the ppplogin file like this /etc/ppp/ppplogin-user -------------------------- #!/bin/sh # ppplogin - script to fire up pppd on login for user mesg n stty -echo exec /usr/sbin/pppd file /etc/ppp/options.user Local-IP:Remote-IP (replace with appropriate) --------------------- the above script have permissions chmod 755 ppplogin-user -------------------------- /etc/ppp/options.user looks like this --------------------- lock -detach crtscts netmask 255.255.255.248 asyncmap 0 modem proxyarp local-domain:remote-domain (replace with appropriate) -------------------------------- Some settings may vary on your side, but try this on the server side. It might work if you need to setup win9x pop account from the server, then drop me a line and I have a very good how-to on that. regards Mettavihari > My dialin server and client have both supra express 56 modem. heres my > config/script > > Client: /root/office script > ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO CARRIER' ABORT 'NO DIALTONE' '' '' '' ATDT4362536 > login: user ssword: userpass > > ttyS0 crtscts 38400 > connect 'chat -v -f /root/office > defaultroute > debug > > /etc/ppp/pap-secrets > #Client Server Secret IP address > user * userpass * > > Server: > /etc/ppp/pap-secrets > #Client Server Secret IP address > user * userpass * > > /etc/ppp/options > lock > -detach > asyncmap 0 > crtscts > proxyarp > modem > debug > login > noauth > /dev/ttyS1 > 10.10.1.251:10.10.1.151 > > dial-up networking windows (95/98/2k) client can connect LAN and the > internet. > > Thanks, > Toto > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Thursday, July 04, 2002 11:44 PM > Subject: Re: Loopback detected > > > > On Thu, Jul 04, 2002 at 05:23:50AM -0400, Jay Daniels wrote: > > > On Thu, 2002-07-04 at 04:36, Toto Gamez wrote: > > > > Hi > > > > > > Im using Rh7.2 and tried to connect to a dialin server also running > RH7.2. > > > > After I get connected the connection was terminated after a few > seconds and > > > > give this "Serial line is looped back".
