I set up user mode PPP according to the docs, and am having the following problem. I can do DNS lookups and ping machine on the net ok, however, if I try ftp'ing or telnetting to any of these machines, I get a connection to it, sometimes get as far as logging in, but the connection just seems to die. Checking the PPP log there are lots of errors similar to: HDLC errors -> FCS: 1 ADDR: 0 COMD:0 PROTO:0 Thinking this was potentially a problem with the user mode PPP setup, I tried using slip (with slattach) and had exactly the same problem. For example, # ftp ftp.demon.co.uk Connected to disabuse.demon.co.uk. 220- And this is as far as it goes. I have tried with different ISP's and have got no further. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Matt Elton.
