by It seems my ppp problems have returned:
Recap:
I recently reconfigured my system to include an ethernet card. The
route to the network via the card is NOT the default route (I mention
this because its what I originally suspected), however now when trying
to connected via dial-up ppp to my ISP, the connection times out without
ever adding the default route via ppp0. Dip connects fine, then fires
up pppd with the appropriate options, but after a minute or so, I am
disconnected. I initially exchanged the newly compiled pppd binary with
the old one (same size, same permissions)- that worked for about one
day, then back to the same problem. /var/log/syslog has the following
line at disconnect:
[time/date/etc.]...pppd[104]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
I tried adding the lcp-max-configure option to pppd, but it only takes
longer to hang up. I tried to skip LCP negotiation altogether with the
-all option, but that hangs up immediately. Does any one have any ideas
on this one? I am getting desperate (even considering backing up
important files and reinstalling (it worked with the original Slackware
installation just fine)). I have tried 4 different kernels and 3
compilations of pppd- to no avail. It must be a problem with some
config option, but where? I have tried undoing all ethernet card
initialization, but it still doesn't help. Windows 95 still connects
fine- no changes by the ISP. Please help!
Thank you in advance,
