(Sarif Koichi) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: iijppp over telnet Date: 7 Oct 1996 03:26:10 GMT Organization: Dept. of Information and Computer Sciences, Toyohashi Univ. of Tech., Japan Lines: 12 Message-ID: <539t8i$nua@colias.tutics.tut.ac.jp> NNTP-Posting-Host: protenor.dsl.tutics.tut.ac.jp X-Newsreader: mnews [version 1.19PL2] 1996-01/26(Fri) Here`s the problem. I need a ppp conection, but the computer center on my University only accept a telnet connection (after the modem conection its ask for host to telnet). So I run iijppp (ppp -direct), whoila the ppp> prompt is changing to PPP>. But the problem is that the ping is only sending packets via modem and there`s no packets are coming in. I check the route table, and (somehow) sure that there`s nothing wrong whit it (I check it up with another host with ppp support and it work fine). Do I need to be root to run `ppp -direct`? Thanks before for any information.
