Well, it worked. I have tried to find the reason for a week now, and 2 hours after I write to ask it, I find that I do havea proxyarp command in my ppp/options file. Sorry for the wasted bandwidth.
Jouni I am trying to connect two linux machines together with ppp. I have previously > done this using vanilla getty and ppp started with login as special ppp-user, > which starts pppd as login shell. The calling machine is connected to the > internet, called machine has a small local ethernet network. > At the moment I don't connect these two networks together, just these two > machines (ie. no routing outside these two machines is done) > > Now I try to use mgetty and it's automatic /autoPPP/. I get the connection, > pppd:s start up, but I get this "cannot determine ethernet address for proxy > ARP" error message from pppd (in the called machine). Netstat (and route) > shows, that the single route to the calling machine is through ppp device. > But > all the ip-packets get lost. > > And do am I. Any (non)trivial things, that I simply don't understand ? > Jouni Rynö Tel.
