Date: 21 May 1993 02:00:01 GMT Organization: Technical Development Group, Telstra International Lines: 32 Distribution: world Message-ID: <1thd31$gbj@turin.research.otc.com.au> NNTP-Posting-Host: opole.research.otc.com.au Keywords: PPP, 386bsd 0.1 + 0.2.3 I've installled the PPP code for 386bsd and suns from ppp-1.2.tar.z and compiled it with the patchkit 0.2.3, into the kernel and installed into the kernel on the sun at work. I startup a connection with chat and have logged into the machine at work and started pppd there. I have a ip connection which I can ping the sun at work, I can perform a rsh command. I have started xlogo at work and directed it to display on the machine here at home and it worked. Problems: ftp - I can connect to the work machine but when I attempt to perfrom a ls, it comes back with "can't bind address". When I telnet to the work machine, I login and execute my first command which happened to be ls, and the kernel crashes. I couldn't see the console message, I was running a X server at the time. Once I started up ppp without the X-server, without X and I saw a series of messages of the type, repeated a number of times missing UI, got(0x83) ppp: to short 1, Generally the link didn't stay-up for more than an coupple of minutes. Is it a problem within the ppp routines in the kernel, or perhaps something is not setup correctly. So close, yet so far .... Alex
