Re: dial-in server
Hi, For my dialin server setup problem, i just installed mgetty and ppp. I also made sure my modem is Linux friendly. There's no problem with that. Wvdialconf can detect it at ttyS0. In my /etc/mgetty/login.config, I enabled the /AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/ppd auth -chap +pap login -detach In my /etc/ppp/options.ttyS0, it has entry for the IPs. I also have /etc/ppp/pap-secrets which I use for authentication. In the /etc/inittab as suggested, I also have the /sbin/mgetty line. I also perform #kill -SIGHUP 1 to refresh the init. Now with my problem: 1. I'm using a W2K dial-up client, it doesn't connect to the dialin server. Error is "port not connected." When I analyse the process, I've noticed that pppd doesn't fire up automatically as set in the /etc/mgetty/login.config file (/AutoPPP). This result (for what I think) to the error message of W2K dialler to "port not connected." Could you please enlighten me about this? How come W2K client cannot connect to the dialin server? Do I miss something? Regards, Joey -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Both in the same network of course. In relation with this, can I set the assignment of IPs to be handled automatically. In my Windows RAS, assignment of IPs for dial-up is automatically assigned by the DHCP server. Is this possible also in Debian?

automatic ip assignment
hi, is it possible that my dhcp server will assign ip address to my dial-in clients? please guide me as i'm quite confused with this. i understand that assignment of ip is hard-coded in the /etc/ppp/options.ttySn. how do i achieve that my dhcp server will assign the ip to dial-in clients? thanks! joey -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: automatic ip assignment
>AFAIK, no. Assigning IP addresses for PPP connections is something >PPP does, if my understanding is correct. hmm. there must be another software to do this. in the windoze world, dhcp could do the assignment. >Just assign the dailup pool a few addresses and give a unique IP in >/etc/ppp/options.ttySn. ok. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
