Very Computer

Hi all -

    I have a Linux box functioning as a masquerading gateway. When it
connects to my isp, it always dials and connects (I hear the modem connect),
then it hangs up and connects again. Always. The second time works... I
tried changing the timeout in linuxconf to 15 seconds, but that didn't help.

Anyone know what's up?

Thanks,
Andrew E. Bailey

I have the same problem, it sucs.  heh

I aquired the same problem upon upgrading from Redhat 6.0
to version 6.1... THEN the problem went away when I did the
upgrade to ver. 6.2 ...
so maybe you could fix it with the new pppd package (from v6.2)

If you're running RedHat 6.1 this is a known issue.
Download their latest pppd package to solve the problem.

Thanks all,
Downloaded the new ppp rpm and upgraded it - works perfectly now.
