"LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests" w/ pppd 2.1 p2

by Jeff Trawi » Sun, 05 May 1996 04:00:00

I just replaced my Slackware 2.2/kernel 1.2.1/a.out partition
with a RedHat 3.0.3/kernel 1.2.13/ELF partition and am unable
to use my old ppp configuration.

In the log, I get a message "LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests"
followed by "Connection terminated.". I used some of the pppd options
to wait for the peer to send LCP but they only caused pppd to wait
forever.

My pppd version is 2.1 patch level 2 (Linux 1.0.1). I don't recall
the level of pppd on my old setup, but I'm sure it is older.

I'm not getting any errors about "not 8-bit clean" like a recent
poster did.

Any common errors that might lead to timeout sending Config-Requests?

Thanks in advance,

Jeff

1. PPPD Dial-In, FreeBSD 4.3, "LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests".

Hi, Ive setup pppd to accept dialins on FreeBSD 4.3,
this is what i got in /var/log/messages when people try to connect:

Jul 15 21:42:19 e-l33t pppd[25891]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyd0
Jul 15 21:42:49 e-l33t pppd[25891]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
Jul 15 21:42:49 e-l33t pppd[25891]: Connection terminated, connected for 1
minutes

now , I read somewhere that this could have something to do with gre
stealing the lcp packets,
but i'm sure i didnt compile gre into my kernel.

( Also, I set the modem to ATS0=1 and saved it with AT&W0 , so it auto
answers, and this works fine )
