Hi everybody !
I just have a little question about a PPP problem I have here ...
I use the standard PPP daemon (pppd, not iijpp) to accept incoming PPP sessions
on V34 modems ... no problem ... until I changed the IP addressing scheme !!
These are the facts :
- When the local Unix machine IP address and dialup PPP IP addresses were
completely distinct (I mean NOT in the same C class), there were no problem ...
- But now, I only have one C class for both local machines & PPP connections;
this class is subnetted in 8 parts (i.e. netmask is 255.255.255.224), let's say
the local IP address is 192.0.0.62 and the PPP ip address is 192.0.0.97 (note
that these two IP addresses are not in the same subnet ...)
And it just does not work anymore ! I just can ping my own IP address (the PPP
one) and that's all ! :-((
I also tried to change the local IP address in order for teh PPP addresses to be
in the same subnet (I used 192.0.0.126 as the local address) but nothing changed
I also have an error message when the link goes up :
SOIFADDR : address already exists
(this message is send by the sifaddr() function in sys-bsd.c in the code)
Could you please help me or give me the location of a comprehensive FreeBSD/PPP
FAQ ...
Thanks in advance ! ;-)
