Hiya, just got a copy of woody r2, and installed it on my machine. first timer. managed to get nvidia thingy to compile for my video card, and solved the problem of not finding screens. what a mission that. all good. now however am stuck. I can dial a ppp conection using wvdial, kppp, pon, and all works fine. after changing bits and bobs and adding the NOAUTH tag to all the chat scripts. I get dynamic ip allocation. I can ping it, can ping local, and the remote proxy, BUT cannot do dns lookups, surf, ping anything else. what am I doing wrong? how can I fix it? appreciate any and all help regarding this. cheers and beers Haldor [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Unless the source is *indeed* on your side of the box, stay on the phone co.'s butt. In the meantime, reset your connection speed lower. Lower speeds are less susceptible to noise interference.

(Similarly, when I phone abroad, I can sometimes hardly understand what is said whereas the link is sometimes very clear.) One thing is to try to keep some type of log when the noise heard, i.e. rain can cause 'bad' lines to act worse. This type of information can help your line provider trace the problem. One of the first things you want to do is eliminate parts of you line that you control, i.e. the wires inside your house or location. I you have a way of connecting where the phone lines come into you location, try connecting a phone there and see if you still hear the noise same amount of noise. I say same amount of noise because modems are less forgiving to noise then your ear, and just because you don't hear it, the modem still might, but if it is clearer outside, you might want to look at installing new lines from the outside to the location of the modem. You want this to be a solid line with as few (none if posible) splices posible. If the noise is still there, you should contact you phone provider and ask if the can run checks. Some providers will have limits to the connection speed they will support, but the fact that you are not able to connect, they should be able to help you. Remember to check you inside lines first though, a lot of companies are more the happy to run checks, but if the find that it is your wiring, they are will charge you for the checks.

(Similarly, when I phone abroad, I can sometimes hardly understand what is said whereas the link is sometimes very clear.) given that you have erratically occuring problems with the line when you phone in from elsewhere, it would seem that the line itself is at fault. the physical line may be laid against a power line associated with some device that runs intermittently inside your house, or it may even be a fault outside the house and beyond your control. in either case, the phone company is responsible for not providing you with a noise-free line. the only exception under which they would not be responsible is if you have had some electrical re-wiring done or recently installed a new power-hungry device like a refrigerator, air-conditioner, or a washing machine, or any other intermittently operational household devices that draw a lot of power. actually, even if that's the case, the phone company remains responsible for not ensuring that the phone line is installed in such a way that electrical interference is mitigated. modem use of a phone line is in no way different from regular usage, and demands no more of the phone company's service than do simple voice calls. you should hold their feet to the fire until you get a satisfactory response. who provides your phone service? there may be other people on the list using the same company who have had similar problems, and who might be able to help. IMHO, no phone company on the planet can be trusted to honor the service promises they make, and you'd be surprised at how ignorant a lot them are about the physics of the business they are in. personally, i consider any disruption of phone service to be tantamount to outright theft, given that the technology itself is quite simple and that disruptions are, in the main, due to either technician ignorance or corporate greed. so, jump all over the phone company.

ppp problems
Hi, I'm not sure if I sent something to this effect already, I've tried a few lists and I kind of lost track (does anyone ever use debian-isp? I haven't gotten one message from it yet) so I apologize if you've already heard this. ---BeginMessage--- Hi, I've been having manymany problems with ppp :-) My current setup, for some basic info is that I'm running Debian 2.1, I've got kernel 2.2.12, and that's about all I can give right now since I'm not sure what you'd need to know. Anyway, I'm trying to connect to an ISP. I've tried both MSN and ATT Worldnet, and both have the same problem. They don't match the user name and password and reject me, as if I'm getting them wrong. I've used both wvdial, and the pon command, after setting it up. I have DNS IPs established. Do I need to put my username and id in quotations, or is there something I'm missing? It keeps insisting my username doesn't match my password or, **Bad Password, on all the different accounts I've tried. Thanks much for help in advance. -Chris ---End Message---
PPP problems
When I first upgraded to potato via apt-get, I must have answered one of the config scripts wrong, because now when /bin/pon brings up ppp, the default route doesn't come up. Instead, there's already a default route to eth0. So I have to manually do the following: route add default ppp0 route del default eth0 route add 127.0.0.1 lo Was it the netbase config script that I messed up on? How can I either rerun the script or modify text files so that every time I reboot I don't have to reset these routes manually? TIA! -- David S.

PPP problems.
I've recently got an account with the UK ISP RedHotAnt. I've used pppconfig to get the dial-up connection working. My problem is this: 1) I can ping hosts on the internet and traceroute to them but I cannot seem to get any other traffic. 2) Starting a telnet session to a host on the internet, I only see the login prompt after the session has timed out. 3) Using tcpdump I see mostly outbound traffic and very little inbound traffic. I had dnrd installed and removing it's /etc/ppp/ip-up.d script seems to allow DNS look ups to work. I also had VMWare installed but have removed it's dummy network kernel modules in case they were having a bad effect. I am using unstable Debian (updated every day) which was originally Slink. I am using kernel 2.2.14 with the dummy module loaded. I have other ISP dial-ups (Demon and BT Internet) which work fine. And I know of another Debian user who uses RedHotAnt but via ISDN. I also know a Mandrake Linux user who has no problems. Can anyone help me? Cheers. Ashley Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
Re: More ppp problems
Thanks guys. Luckily I am in the situation where my friend owns the ISP, (though he rents the modem banks). I'm now looking at it with them and will post what I find out. The modem is the only thing on that phone line in the house, and I'm not convinced it isn't a linux software thing, but I don't have any more to add at this point.

More ppp problems
Any help on pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. I am experiencing 2 frustrating problems: For reference: pppd 2.3.10, linux 2.2.12. All ppp and ipmasq modules are compiled as modules and I verified that they were loaded durring these occurances. I also talked to my ISP to verify that they don't have policies on connect times, or daily down times. This is going to wrap a little... :/ 1. From time to time, my ppp0 interface just stops working. Such as: Sith:~# ifconfig ppp0 ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:207.158.172.195 P-t-P:206.84.176.80 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:29157 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:28257 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:10 Sith:~# ping 206.84.176.80 PING 206.84.176.80 (206.84.176.80): 56 data bytes --- 206.84.176.80 ping statistics --- 14 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss Sith:~# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 206.84.176.80 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH0 0 0 ppp0 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 0.0.0.0 206.84.176.80 0.0.0.0 UG0 0 0 ppp0 From ppp.log's point of view, it stops recieving lcp replies (though it keeps sending requests). From message's kernel logs, it gets a bunch of protocol 17 messages and then just dies (i.e. doesnt record anything else for whatever reason). OK, so thats weird. My SECOND problem is that my modem just up and hangs up occaisionally. As far as this is concerned, I just hope someone can tell me how to start determining if it was due to a change on my side or the ISPs side.

Re: More ppp problems
My SECOND problem is that my modem just up and hangs up occaisionally. As far as this is concerned, I just hope someone can tell me how to start determining if it was due to a change on my side or the ISPs side. I don't have any ideas on your first problem, but I do have a bit of experience with the second. The hang-ups could be something as simple as a timeout on the ISP side because you haven't been doing anything for awhile. But I'm sure you've thought of this. I think you could use tcpdump to see if the hangup coincides with a long interruption in packets -- if so it might be an automatic hangup on the ISP's part (or a low value for idle in your ~/.ppprc or /etc/ppp/options). I had a similar problem a few months ago where my modem would hang up after exactly 32 minutes. Turned out it was our cordless phone. At the suggestion of the phone company, we unplugged it and from then on everything has worked just fine (except for the crappy line quality, of course). This probably isn't what's going on either, but before considering the computer-side issues, it's worth a look into what other devices are sharing your modem line and what they might be doing.

If you know anything about interior phone wiring, then check and/or replace the lines between your computer and your demarkation box. (thats the box between the phone company's property and yours) If that doesn't help, then ask someone at the ISP. They'll deny any fault, and probably blame your phone company, but the problem may go away.

PPP problems on potato
I have Debian slink (2.1) installed on my machine with no problems related to the Internet connection. The other day I got the unstable potato release and tried to install it onto another partition of my hard drive. Okay, the base system installation succeed. On the other hand, I wasn't able to make it connected to the ISP. I suppose there is something wrong with the routing table. Before connecting, I typed the command 'netstat -nr' at the prompt: # netstat -nr Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irttIface I realised none line was shown in the table. Using the older release I usually got something like: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irttIface 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo Besides that from the 'pppd' command I got the following message: #pppd The remote system is required to authenticate itself but I couln't find any secret (password) wich would let it use an IP address. Afterwards I decided finally trying to connecting the modem using the 'pon' command. It took about 30 seconds to the connection finished suddenly.

I have ppp0 as defaultroute and it is pointing to the remote ip. Still I can ping the remote ip, but I can't do anything else. I tried to ping the name servers, nothing.

I'm not telling you or Mr. Hoover to ask the ISP what the problem is, only what a disconnect code (or however it's done on their system) is. Since that is independent of the operating system you use, it doesn't matter what you're running.

Any set up that REQUIRES this information is badly broken. Fortunately, Linux's set-up doesn't require that information. In fact, you don't need any more information to set up dial-in Internet access with Linux than you do with Windows-9[58], but it helps if you have some clue about how this stuff works. From my perspective, your question, as posed, has no answer. Until we bring the 5396 on-line, at which point it will be five, we have four access servers answering calls. Each one has its own IP address. One of those (ernestine) is for permanent connections, but the other three (bertrand, grover, and cleveland) are assigned to callers randomly. So, you call and ask which IP address my access server is going to have and, unless you're paying for a nailed-up connection, I have to answer I don't know (which is true, how am I to know which AS is going to answer the call? Tea Leaves?) and you go away mad because you don't understand that you don't need the information that you ask for. BTW - It was dynamic IP addressing, with the remote end not providing it's IP address for the connection, so pppd would not work properly... Horse Puckey! I've been doing dynamic-IP with Linux (in both directions) for the better part of four years, now, and it is painfully easy to set up. Simply tell your pppd to accept whatever addresses it is given. (man pppd is your friend.) That works for both local and remote addresses. Just let pppd figure out what's going on and everything works like magic. If you try to tell my equipment what address you have, it'll hang up on you. (I hope! Keeping a call alive even though it had no prayer of working was one of the bugs that Ascend was supposed to fix.) To make dynamic IP addressing work, you simply don't tell pppd anything about either IP address and, as long as you have the defaultroute option set, it works just fine. At least it always has for me. -- Jonathan Guthrie ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Brokersys +281-895-8101 http://www.brokersys.com/ 12703 Veterans Memorial #106, Houston, TX 77014, USA

Anyway, if they won't tell you why your connection was last dropped and you can't find another ISP, then you're stuck with increasing the debug level on pppd and undergoing the mind-numbing task of digging through mounds of low-level output. A task I've performed many times, usually by email. We have a package that includes a pap-secrets file and a script that runs pppd and instructions to modify those files so that they'll work for your userid, and that's about it. I'd actually prefer that you did not do that. Just tell the customer his username, his password, the nameservers, and the type of authentication used. If you use a scripted login rather than PAP or CHAP, tell him the prompts. That's all he needs to run pppconfig and most other ppp configuration tools. Some ISP's can't manage that, though. They do things like requiring that a particukar string be appended to the username in order the authenticate, and fail to tell the customer about it. -- John HaslerThis posting is in the public domain.

PPP problems.
Up until now I have been using a Redhat 5.2 system and haven't had problems running PPP over a modem. I want to switch over to a Debian system but I can't get PPP to run for some strange reason. Here's some info. Hopefully someone can help. The Redhat system is using kernel 2.2.5 and pppd 2.3.5. Here's the entries in my options file: defaultroute lock crtscts The Debian system is a stock 2.0 system (I want to use PPP to upgrade once it's working) with kernel 2.0.34 and pppd 2.3.5. I added the defaultroute line to the options file (also tried without it) and turned off auth on the command line. (Also tried with it.) What happens when I try to connect? Using the debug option, my pppd is sending LCP config requests but eventually times out. I KNOW ppp is running on the remote end since I log in manually and it's the same place I connect to using the Redhat system. Using the 'silent' option prevents the timeout, but doesn't provide a solution. Anyone know offhand what is causing this problem or what I can do to figure out what is the problem? Thanks, Dan.

Of course, I have no way of knowing if Mr. Hoover did this, but asking on this list about ISP connection difficulties without consulting the ISP first is probably not the best way to go. I'm sure that this is not true of your company, but almost all ISP's would tell Mr. Hoover We do not support Linux and refuse to listen to his problem. You misunderstand. I'm not telling you or Mr. Hoover to ask the ISP what the problem is, only what a disconnect code (or however it's done on their system) is. Since that is independent of the operating system you use, it doesn't matter what you're running. You should NEVER expect telephone technical support to solve your problems, you should only expect them to provide the information you need to solve your own problems. (If they happen to be able to tell you what the problem is, that should be viewed as a happy windfall.) Anyway, if they won't tell you why your connection was last dropped and you can't find another ISP, then you're stuck with increasing the debug level on pppd and undergoing the mind-numbing task of digging through mounds of low-level output. (It helps if you have a good grasp of troubleshooting techniques. For example, I'd start with attempts to connect through minicom, though, just to see what it looks like.) As a matter of fact, here at Brokersys, although we use Linux exclusively for our servers (and more than a few workstations) we provide only limited support for the Linux systems of our dial-in callers. (We have a package that includes a pap-secrets file and a script that runs pppd and instructions to modify those files so that they'll work for your userid, and that's about it. There are no step-by-step instructions, like we have for Windows-9x.) This is because there is a general assumption that a Linux user has some idea what to do with the five critical pieces of information and because there are 46-dozen different ways of setting up PPP access through Linux so no useful set of step-by-step instructions would be applicable to everyone. However, you can call us up (the number's in the signature) and ask us what our dial-in number is (281-774-7100 for modems, 281-774-2741 for ISDN callers) and for the address of our DNS servers (dial-in users should use 192.168.136.1 and 192.168.136.2) and what the smtp server name is (mail.brokersys.com) and the pop3 server name is (mail.brokersys.com) and the Web server name (www.brokersys.com) and what caused your last disconnect (cause code 185 or far end disconnect, probably, if you're having enough trouble to actually call) and we'll tell you. Why not? That's hardly secret information. I'd even bet that you can get that sort of information out of the big national services, too. I've worked with some of them working out reverse-DNS problems on a couple of occasions, so I know they have people who work on just that sort of thing. -- Jonathan Guthrie ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Brokersys +281-895-8101 http://www.brokersys.com/ 12703 Veterans Memorial #106, Houston, TX 77014, USA

The problem would last for a week or two and then, after they got so many complaints, they would fix it. Speaking as the owner of an ISP that has fielded his share of such complaints: Assuming that your ISP is using remote access servers, what you describe is a classic symptom of a telephone trunking problem. Either a port card has gone bad and you're getting controlled clock slips or you're signal is going through an old 1A switch that needs maintenance. In either case, it has nothing to do with the ISP (although it also has nothing to do with your system, either.) You should feel lucky that they get fixed after a couple of weeks, for SWBT hasn't to my knowledge EVER fixed a trunking problem in Houston. They certainly have never fixed one that we attempted to report. If the authentication server fails, NOBODY is able to log in and that gets your attention real quick. Usually, it takes about 20 minutes to fix, most of that being the time it takes to get a hold of someone who has root-level access and an understanding of what needs to be done. If there's something wierd about your setup, then it won't ever connect at all no matter how many times you retry. The original poster should contact his ISP (CALL THEM! nothing frustrates us faster than getting an email that talks about problems connecting except for the emails we get that talk about problems getting email) and see what the failures look like from their end. This works best if you can call the dial-in number and talk to support simultaneously. If he can't do that, then he's got the wrong Internet provider. If the modem is an internal modem, he should be prepared to power-cycle his computer because some modems don't like long uptimes. (It's a lot easier to powercycle external modems, which is one reason I recommend them.) Of course, I have no way of knowing if Mr. Hoover did this, but asking on this list about ISP connection difficulties without consulting the ISP first is probably not the best way to go.

It should be able to recognize pulse tone commands from the caller. That's something I'd like to play around with. About two years ago I looked at voice-0.6 which is ready to with a Rockwell modem.

RE: Sportster Voice (Re: PPP problems)
Remco, I have successfully used vgetty and mgetty to do fax, voice, and DTMF recognition on my non-Debian gateway. Unfortunately, I had to hand-patch the code a little to get the handset features working with my Sportster 33.6 F/V. I doubt those fixes have made it into the Debian packages, and if that is the case, you will have to hand compile it. If you are still interested, email me and I can send you my scripts, and where I patched the code (I snarked it off of the mgetty newsgroups a few months back).

If external, you can be almost certain it's not a winmodem. If it's external or jumpered, make sure you know what IRQ, etc it's using. If it's internal and not jumpered or if it's PnP, see what settings Windows uses (I assume you still have Windows on this box), and then use those settings in Linux.

serious ppp problems
Today, while working in Xwindow, my keyboard locked up. I couldn't type anything in any window even though the system was fine. I was forced to hit the reset button (first mistake). When the system rebooted, it checked the hard drive and found many problems, which it fixed. The system seemed fine after that. I was able run X and do my usual work. However, when I tried to dial up my ISP, the troubles began. pon dials correctly, and a connection is usually made. ifconfig says that all is well and I have been assigned an IP address. However, I can not ping or access any outside site. The error I receive from ping is that sendto is not allowed. If I use kppp, I get a little more information. The connection is fine until it tries to start pppd. Then it can't start it. The error is that it can't find ppp0 the device doesn't support this interface. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the ppp package, but still have the same error. I am running slink, and have finally got things the way I like them. Can this problem be fixed? Amy Anuszewski p.s. for future reference, if the keyboard goes out on me again, is there a better way to reboot?

ppp problems...
Hi Debian-User, can someone tell me what this snippet of my ppp.log file is trying to tell me? Everything seems to be working OK but I didn't get these Unsupported protocol problems until recently. Is it something with my new ISP? Or is it because I compiled a custom 2.0.36 kernel? Or could it be because I recently did a dist-upgrade to slink? Any assistance is most appreciated.

I don't know what is wrong, but I suspect that the chat script is the source of your troubles. To check it, try connecting your ISP with minicon. Also, send the list the chat file and ppp's log for more help. See attached files!! Cheers I don't know what is wrong, but I suspect that the chat script is the source of your troubles.

I suspect it is your expect line for the login prompt. are you expecting ogin: your_login_name or just ogin: ?? you cant expect the former, your ISP expects you to enter your login. like so: ogin: your_login_name ssword:\qyour_password no quotes... the \q makes the password invisible in the log file. If you had it the way I think you did, your connection script will just sit around waiting for a string that wont arrive. Either chat, or your ISP will timeout with no action in a specified time.

I suspect it is your expect line for the login prompt. are you expecting ogin: your_login_name or just ogin: ?? you cant expect the former, your ISP expects you to enter your login. like so: I wrote down 'login_name' but in this line appears my REAL login name ogin: your_login_name ssword:\qyour_password The password line does not appear at all (or I don't remember) no quotes... the \q makes the password invisible in the log file.

Cheers If you don't get good help from the other responders to your message, try using 'minicom' to manually step thru the login process and see what happens.

I am trying to connect a home machine to my university ppp server. The machine has an ethernet card in it which worked at its old location in the university but not where it would have seen or used the ppp server. I would like to use it for ip masquerading in due course so I've left the card in but I just want to get its own ppp working for now.

ppp problems..using EZPPP...
Hey again, I don't know about this one I installed EZPPP and it worked fine, except the ppp connection died before I could figure out why mozilla could find the server. But here is my porblem... Now it doesn't dial my modem! I did nothing to it just turned the machine of for the night. Turn it on the next day and it's dead. It initializes the modem, gets the ok from the modem then when it is suppose to dial it tells me that it expects a connect signal. I really can't figure out why it would dial. I changed dial scripts to that used by wvdial (wvdial works..dial connects..but dies) but that did nothing. Ezppp did dial connect and hold the connection for 5 minutes or so when I first installed but now it doesn't dial WHY?
Re: ppp problems..using EZPPP...
EZPPP is really something for Slackware people that can't figure out how to make all the different scripts, but are simply too cool to use something like Debian that automates routine work for you. If you're using Debian Hamm or newer, as root type 'pppconfig'. Every system should come with this installed. It's really, really easy to use.

ppp problems
I've got two problems with ppp that have been ongoing for a while. My system started at Debian 1.3 and has been upgraded through the whole unstable hamm process to a stable 2.0 system and is currently up to date as of about a week ago. I just started to have the need to use the ip-up scripting ability and found that neither ip-up or ip-down are being executed by ppd. I did a 'strings' on the current pppd binary to check what paths it was looking for this stuff in and everything looks correct. I had remembered that long ago the ppp stuff was in different paths so it might have been possible that I was using files left around from 1.3 or something. Also, I cannot start a ppp connection as any user other than root. It fails to execute the chatscript as an unprivileged user yet all the permissions seem correct. Hopefully, somebody has seen these problems before. Thanks, Matt Porter [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I had the exact same problem and posted an email on this today. I'm having diald use the /usr/bin/pon command, which basically issues the same connect command as you have. Here's the reply: I assumed that I could use the '/usr/bin/pon' command with diald. You can't. You must let diald start pppd. You can use /etc/chatscripts/provider, but you must call it from /etc/diald/diald.options.
