I upgraded my home serverto ascii a bit ore than a week ago, and then proceeded to make a full backup of user files (and system files in case I have to consult them on reinstallation if the system gets hoplessly broken).
I finally rebooted yesterday after a week of flawless running, only to find that netwrking is completely nonfunctional. Afer a day of struggling, I rebooted to an old copy of Debian wheezy I still had lying around on the hard drive and networking worked perfectly. So the hardware appears to be OK. But software is another story. On ascii: my client laptops can connect to the wifi modem, but never get an IP number assigned. My server normally uses pppoe to connect to my ISP. My script to identity the access concentrator manages to connect to it, so the hardware must be working even for proper pppoe operation, but I can never manage to get a pppoe connection. So: (1) What has changed between jessie and ascii? Everything worked fine on Jessie. Do pppoe and dhcpd need different configuration files or is something else a problem? The files I'm using seem to have the same chap and pap secrets as on ascii as on wheezy. (2) How should I go about tracking down the problem? I might add that ifconfig reports the usual interfaces of eth0, eth1, and loopback, so I don't *seem* to be haveing problems with the systemd and Debian's new interface naming conventions. Of course it's possible that I did something stupid after the upgrade. -- hendrik _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
