Very Computer

I am trying to connect to an NT ISP that doesn't use chap or mschap.
I can't seem to figure out what I am doing wrong.
here are the options I am using even though i have tried many others as
well.
    lock
    crtscts
    defaultroute
    noauth
    silent
    passive
    noipdefault
    receive-all

When it connects, I get a loop back.
I receive an IP address but it doesn't do anything with it,
Nov 16 22:48:15 Tardis pppd[663]: rcvd [IPCP ConfReq id=0x6 <compress VJ 0f
00> <addr 207.179.135.2>]
(full debug below)

If you can help it would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

chris

Are you absolutely sure about that?  It's very likely, in the absence
of definite knowledge that login/password is used, that the ISP uses
PAP or CHAP or MSCHAP.

The options are reasonable, although I woundn't use receive-all unless
faced with NT RAS and Microsoft CPCP callback.

This is a LCP request from the peer so PPP was started at the ISP.
Peculiar that it wants to negotiate the *default* ACCM (asyncmap)
for itself.  It looks like the ISP PPP configuration is a bit flakey.

This, on the other hand, is an LCP request from pppd.  Note that the
magic number is the same as the one for the first pppd "sent" LCP
request above.  This is the "loopback" and it continues throughout the
rest of the log interspersed with real requests and naks from the ISP.

[more loopback deleted]

Quote:> Nov 16 22:48:14 Tardis pppd[663]: rcvd [LCP ConfNak id=0x1 <asyncmap

Argghh.  There's no good reason for the ISP to request that *you*
use the default ACCM.

The loopback problem must be solved before anything else.  It might be
due to the modem AT command configuration, AT&T1 in a Hayes compatible
might do that, but it's rare.

I suppose it's also remotely possible that a shell script with poor
redirection could cause a loopback problem.  Try the pppd option
"nolog" and see what happens.

My best guess is that you should be doing PAP or CHAP or MSCHAP
authentication and the ISP is so poorly configured that it goes
into some half-way state between text and PPP.  A text program at
the ISP can cause a loopback-like condition by reflecting what you
send and this is common, although for it to happen with PPP running
is unusual.

You should be aware that "clear text authentication" in MS-speak
means PAP - just in case you where told that was the authentication
the ISP uses.

I'm pretty sure.  If it was one of these would I not receive a <pap ....> or
<chap ...>

I tried setting asyncmap to 0xffffff and that made my ISP a bit happier.

I tried the nolog and it seemed to work once.  I tried to connect again
without changing any options but for some reason it wouldn't connect the
second time and I don't know why.

I still seem to be getting the loopback error.  Does anyone know how this
can be fixed?

You would not get a PAP or CHAP request if the ISP login/password
is sufficient for authentication.  You also would not get PAP or
CHAP requests if you do a login/password through prompts that the
ISP isn't properly configured to accept and transfer the connection
to it's PPP implementation afterwards.

Note that it is common for an ISP to present login/password prompts but
switch to it's PPP implementation upon detecting PPP link negotiation
messages from the call-in.  Moreover, the prompts are often not a
valid alternative for regular customers.

I upgraded my old USR 33.6k external modem to a
new and expensive USR Courier V.Everything 56.6k
External modem thinking I was going to be able to
use it in my RH 6.1 Linux box without any trouble.
When trying to connect to my ISP with the new
modem I get a  serial line looped back error that
hangs up the modem. I can disconnect the 56.6k
modem and put back the old 33.6k modem and I can
log in to my ISP right away. Any ideas why this is
happening? How can I get rid of this error.
Have anybody heard anything about this problem? I
don't know what to do. I have tried almost every
option for the pppd option file and nothing makes
a difference. Except when I turn off the serial
line looped back detection with the nomagic option
or -mn, but then pppd comes back saying "can not
determine remote ip address".

I am pretty sure there are other people out there
experiencing the same problem but nobody has been
able to help me or post in here a valid answer.

Your help would be greatly
appreciated!

While at the Deja.com web site, try searching for your error.  I'd
bet that you will get several hundred hits.  It typically means you
are not connected to your ISP.
