kppp problems: (I think a dns problem)

Post by Aernoudt Bottemann » Sat, 18 Sep 1999 04:00:00



Hi,

Normally I use a router to connect to the network. However I also have
a modem, and wanted to make use of it. So I configured it (with some
help
from the Complete FreeBSD book (edition 3, latest !)  I can log on
(rebuild
the kernel to have ppp in it). Whenever i try to go to a site it says it
can't find it.

Added the extra dns servers to resolv (modem is via different provider).
I guess it has something to do with my normal routing. I've tried all
settings possible in Kppp, so I'm hoping on a solution from you !

kppp problems: (I think a dns problem)

Aernoudt,

    Can you ping the IP address of the DNS or the router?  How are you
making the ppp connection?  When you use the command 'ifconfig ppp0', does
it tell you the IP address of the ppp0 interface?  Let us know.  Good luck.

Michael

No ping, but I do get the IP address of my machine.

1. KPPP problem -- I think

I'm running RH 6.0 & KDE and recently added a SCSI card and DAT drive for
which I had no support. So, I set about to build a new kernel (2.2.16)
with SCSI support. That part worked swell. I now have a full backup and
have resolved all the problems but one. If I boot the new kernel, log in
as a normal user and use the KPPP app to attempt to dial my ISP, I get a
pop-up which says:
   This kernel has no PPP support, neither compiled in nor via the kernel
   module loader. To solve this problem:
     * contact your system administrator
   or
     * install a kernel with ppp support
BUT my new kernel DOES have ppp support. Here's a excerpt from dmesg:
=============
Detected scsi tape st0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 2, lun 0 scsi : detected 1
SCSI tape total. PPP: version 2.3.7 (demand dialling) TCP compression code
copyright 1989 Regents of the University of California PPP line discipline
registered. Partition check:
==============
To complicate the symptoms even more (at least for me, or I wouldn't be
posting this), all I have to do to make KPPP work for a normal user is:
1. Cold boot
2. Log in as root
3. Start KPPP, click "connect" and abort before connecting.
4. Log out -- either normally or using cntrl+alt+backspace
5  Log in as a normal user
6. Start KPPP.  
That's the way I'm running right now.

I'm obviously missing something here. Can someone point me in the right
direction? TIA
