by To any linux networking wizards:
I have spent approximately 16 hours attempting to get pppd 2.1.2b running
under Linux 1.2.1. It refuses to work as client to my ISP, running BSD
with Annex ports, or as host to a windows 95 ppp dial-up connection.
Windows 95 seems to have no difficulty in authenticating with the ISP
using PAP. The two local machines communicate without problem over an
ethernet network. The Linux box is running Zbbs, and there are no problems
dialing in to the system via bbs or shell session.
When using pppd to connect to the ISP, it basically ends with 10 IPCP
configuration requests. No ppp0 interface appears when running ifconfig
or netstat -i. I have attempted changing many of the options which are
listed below in the basic configurations, such as lcp-restart,
ipcp-restart, ipcp-echo-failure, -vj, xonxoff, +ua with alternate
pap-secrets file, specifiying local:remote addresses, using proxyarp,
removing the eth0 interface and all other ethernet LAN references,
specifying/removing a defaultroute/gateway, etc. I have not tried to
recompile the kernel without IP multicast, but have commented out multi
on in the /etc/host.conf file.
When using pppd passive called from the /etc/ppp/ppplogin script, the
process ends in much the same manner. Using user ppp with a password of
ppp, when the Windows95 dial up PPP VXD attaches, it eventually returns
an error message indicating that it cannot negotiate a network protocol, with
the error message below repeated 20 times in the ppplog.txt debug file:
Received and accepted ACCM of a000 (changes each time).
Naking possibly loopback magic number.
Loopback! Peer nak'd with our nak of peer's magic number!
I experimented with all of the networking options pertinent to the dial
up adapter in Win95, and am confident that the problem is on the Linux side.
Before posting this request for help, I pored thru the manual pages for
pppd, the README, README.linux files, SETUP, A.L.'s PPP How To, Ignatio
Souvatzis' PPP FAQ on the uu.net ftp archives, Olaf Kirchner's Guide to
Linux Network Administration, all the messages in comp.os.protocols,
comp.os.linux.misc, and linux.dev.ppp, and I actually purchased Steven's
two volume TCP/IP Illustrated (to no avail, very little info on PPP, and
none on IPCP error messages). I couldn't seem to find the RFCs anywhere,
but I would appreciate someone pointing out where they could be located
to a bewildered sysop.
The files below should contain most of the info pertinent to the problem.
Thanks in advance for anyone spending the time to point out my likely
obvious mistakes.
