Greetings, I am sitting in my chair with a 10 pound hammer next to me, which was left here by our building maintenance team. I have been planning a brutal attack on my server for reasons of my own lack of knowlegde. Yes I know not a pretty sight and civilized at all, but to tell the truth I have been tinkering with config files four five days now and I am feeling very savage like. So if you will excuse the bad writing as I am now also in a hurry to destroy that server. I have one simple to request to request, and the mother of config nightmares if ever there was such a thing. Try this config files /etc/ppp/options /etc/ppp/options.ttyS0 /etc/mgetty+sendfax/mgetty.config /etc/mgetty+sendfax/login.config /etc/inittab /etc/passwd /etc/group I will explain what I am trying to do in no uncertian terms, and then show what I have done to try and implement it. Simple I have a server, I attach a serial US-Robotics modem to the first serial port. <ttyS0> I insert the line from the wall after testing it with a telephone into the only line jack at back of modem. I have a Quanta Zw9 laptop with a smartlink modem. I have completed a dialup test to my own ISP succesfully. I want all of my windows 98 2000 and XP machines to dialin in remotely and access the internet via my sever. The purpose for this setup is for our company as a hardware distributer to test internal and external modems before we exchange them as fualty. This is becuase windoze is a hunk of junk and refuses to let people use their hardware when he hadware actually works. The Server: (I copied configs from a mailing search that supposed to work!) <servers ip addr is 192.168.2.1> [root@preload root]# cat /etc/ppp/options lock crtscts modem login noauth netmask 255.255.255.0 ms-dns 192.168.2.1 proxyarp 192.168.2.1:192.168.2.8 [root@preload root]# cat /etc/ppp/options.ttyS0 #hostname-s1:hostname 192.168.2.8:192.168.2.5 [root@preload root]# cat /etc/ppp/pap-secrets #INBOUND connections #allow * * "" 192.168.2.8 #not allowed guest fliwatut "*" - master fliwatut "*" - root fliwatut "*" - support fliwatut "*" - stats fliwatut "*" - [root@preload root]# cat /etc/mgetty+sendfax/login.config /AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd -chap +pap 192.168.2.5:192.168.2.1 login noauth debug proxyarp * - - /bin/false [root@preload root]# cat /etc/mgetty+sendfax/mgetty.config port ttyS0 speed 57600 debug 7 data-only y [root@preload root]# cat /etc/inittab S0:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x 4 -s 115200 /dev/ttyS0 [root@preload root]# cat /etc/passwd ppp:x:505:504::/dev/null:/usr/sbin/pppd [root@preload root]# The pppd starts and then dies, seems its not accepting the IP adress for the client.
