Hello, now I've got a modem card for my lap, and it seems to work, but still something wickened prevents me to get an IP.
I've asked that on a redhat-ppp list, but got no answer :( btw does anybody know how to access linux-ppp@vger.kernel.org ? I only retain a failure because a 'mandatory Header 'message ID' is missed'....use KMail here with standard setting. Now on the laptop I dial into an ISP with standard pap / chap login procedure and dynamic DNS. But the same peers and ppp-options on my desktop works fine, but not the laptop. I found out the following: On the laptop, I can dial and log in with minicom. Also wvdial seems to proceed to login and establish a ppp-connection. ppp's log-entries after 'pon' doesn't indicate it does login; however, it's LPC-Config-Requests lack an appendet 'auth pap' that can be found in the desktop-log, and there never were any EchoRequests. In all cases there was no route and no ping possible after the ppp hast started up. I suspect the ppp on the other side isn't starting also... and i wonder if it's something specific to the modem card. It's a gericom V.90 fax/modem pcmcia-card. But the 'sound' seems ok...it's just not entering TCP/IP. laptop-net and cardmgr are working well sofar. Where do i have to look for ? Any help greatly appreciated. I append two logs with 'XXX' markers to the interesting difference, also the pap- and chap-script for one example peer.
