Very Computer

Hi all

I'm trying setup my linux box (Slackware 3.1 kernel 2.0.29) how PPP
server.
I'm using uugetty to accept dial in conection phone line. When I
connect emulating terminal vt-100 everything is OK.

When I dial in to linux using W95 I get the loggin and password and
start the PPP daemon. After any seconds I get the connection OK in
14400 bps. But few seconds after the line hangs.
My ppplog is this :

Aug  5 12:58:43 microbel pppd[201]: pppd 2.3.0 started by root, uid 0

My configurations files are :

#HOSTNAME
microbel.com

# resolv.conf
domain csl.nutecnet.com.br
nameserver 200.248.184.1
nameserver 200.248.249.1

## hosts        
127.0.0.1       localhost
127.1.1.1               microbel.com microbel
127.1.1.2               www.microbel.com
# End of hosts.

#.ppprc
-detach
modem
crtscts
lock
:192.1.1.19

Well how I'm very new in networking I need help in the next questions
:
1) My linux box server is an standalone system. Can I use other IP
address different of the 127.0.0.1 (I don't use network card ) ????
2) The pap-secrets that appears in the ppplog is the same used when I
dial out to my ISP ? If no how I use pap-secrets in the two situations
to prevents problems here ?
3) I'm using IP static for dial in conections. Any trick to use IP
dinamics ?
4) How solve the questions for DNS in standalone system ????
5) Exist any Web Page or How To about connection beetween win95 and
linux ?

Any help would be appreciated

I see 2 problems here:

1.  Aug  5 13:16:37 microbel pppd[549]: Warning - secret file
     /etc/ppp/pap-secrets has world and/or group access

you'll want to chmod 600 /etc/ppp/pap-secrets to fix this..

2.  Aug  5 13:16:40 microbel pppd[549]: Could not determine local IP
     address

This was answered appropriately below.  I use the following in my
/etc/ppp/options.ttyS0:
    sanitarium:ppp1
and specify the appropriate IPs in /etc/hosts so I don't have to
remember the numerics :)
