DIP hangs LOGIN

Post by Ya`akov N. Mile » Sun, 12 Jul 1998 04:00:00



Starting with Linux 2.0.34 and persisting through Linux 2.1.107 I have found
that leaving dip running causes all subsequent efforts to login to hang,
after accepting a valid password.  The hung logins resume when I type

        dip -k

Any ideas what is wrong?

I set the local IP to 127.0.0.1 which caused the hang.  Resetting the IP with
NETCONFIG to the IP of my gateway 204.244.247.1 solved the bug.

 
 
 

1. DIP, connects but hangs at login

I'm having a consistent problem with DIP.

The fax modem card is on com3 with irq5 and address 0x03e8.
That is, setserial /dev/cua2 0x03e8 5

DIP successfully sets the modem, dials, and connects with the
foreign modem, but the chat script fails. I know exactly what the
other system is sending because I can connect using NetManage's
Chameleon/NFS (under Windows 3.1) product and that product's
debugging log shows the chat system dialog as it proceeds.

What bothers me most about debugging with DIP is I can't
see what is being negotiated between the two systems. The only
debugging I manage to get DIP to give me is the return status
of the previous command (using the -v option). In other words,
even when using dip -tv, and sending AT to the modem, I do not
see the OK come back. In fact, I never see any responses from
the modem (including the remote system).

If there is a way to see the ongoing chat script, I would appreciate
hearing about it. I have looked in the following areas:

        1.  the dip(1) man page
        2.  the networking howto
        3.  Linux Installation and Getting Started
        4.  following the linux news groups

If there is more information in this area, I would like to know where
to find it.

Please reply directly to my email address.

Thanks.
