I'm kind of in despair. According to the original schedule, I should
have been abroad for three weeks from the beginning of February, but it
suddenly changed to this Saturday. The problem is, that by the time I
leave, I need to get PPP dialup running on our FreeBSD (2.1.0) system.
Part of it is running. But I reached a point where I simply got stuck
and couldn't get any further for the last two days (* below). Maybe a
simple oversight somewhere?
A pointer to some setup documentation on the web or the like would be
VERY much appreciated. (Checked Essential System Administration and The
Complete FreeBSD in addition to the FAQ and handbook, but can't get it
to run.)
Situation:
- FreeBSD 2.1.0 (expected to be upgraded later)
- internet connection is ppp dialup with dynamic IP
Should have:
- console login - working, no problem
- remote login over network card - not yet done, but expect
to work this one out
- iijppp on demand - working
- modem dialup with normal login (non-ppp) - working
*- modem dialup with ppp login *- This is the problem. I
followed the iijppp docs
and logging in with a
username of ppp I get all
the funny characters, but
trying a login from a
Win95 machine over modem,
tells me, that no common
protocol could be found.
PPP login to an ISP works
fine, though.
- modem dialup with ppp and telnet login - no idea yet, but this can
via ppp or network card with same userID wait
- IP masquerading - if ppp is working,
this can wait
Any pointers most welcome (the sooner the better, I'm leaving Saturday
5 am).
Thanks,
Kurt
