Hi Chris, Thanks for the reply. Yes there is a firewall on both the box I am dialing in from (SuSE personal firewall) and the box I am dialing into. I have had this working before so I am really unsure it is the firewall causing the problem (much more likely to be something I have done).
So stuff I have done on the dial-in server is: in inittab: mo:235:respawn:/usr/sbin/mgetty -D ttyS0 /etc/mgetty+sendfax/mgetty.config port ttyS0 /etc/mgetty+sendfax/login.config /AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth login -chap +pap * - - /bin/login @ /etc/ppp/options.ttyS0 file: myservers IP address:192.168.23.2 debug lock ms-dns primary DNS ip address ms-dns secondary DNS ip address Does this look correct?
