im running debian 2.2 kernel 2.2.19. im trying to setup my computer as a dialin server with ppp and everthing. I got the slip account to work meaning that when someone dials in from a windows machine and open a terminal they can run a shell and login. I then configured the shell account to run pppd with the following command line "pppd -detach" I also put the follwing line in the options.device file (in my case it was called options.modem) 192.168.0.1:192.168.0.30 According to the the pppd documentatio adding this line will set my local ppp0 device addresst to 192.168.0.1 and the remote machine device to 192.168.0.30 .I also disabled any chap or pap authentication(using -pap -chap) I setup the windows machine dialup connection so that the sever type is SLIP Unix server and so that it starts the terminal as soon as the connection is established. Now everythig works, the windows user logs into the account the shell starts to display the ppp garbage, but for somereason when the windows user presses continue it asks him to put an IP, when he does the connection icons appear at the task bar and everything appears to work fine. On my end pppd (the one started by the shell) times out during LCP negotiations so I dont have any ppp device established. Any body got anyidea what the problem is? I tried compiling the kernel with the IP forwardin option(IP advanced routing) but it made no difference) Also how do I specify in the options file the 2 DNS addresses that the other peer is supposed to used.
