Lines: 188 Message-ID: <ALEX.94Sep1080517@alex.earthlink.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: alex.earthlink.net Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Hi! I've just connected to internet and am having some trouble. After connecting with ppp, ping, mosaic, ftp, etc. work fine but I get some error messages logged in /etc/ppp/ppp-log, as follows: Aug 31 16:56:46 alex routed[54]: packet from unknown router, 198.68.160.3 Aug 31 16:58:04 alex routed[54]: rtadd: can't get interface for 0.0.0.0 Aug 31 16:58:04 alex routed[54]: rtadd: can't get interface for 198.68.161.133 Aug 31 16:58:04 alex routed[54]: rtadd: can't get interface for 198.68.160.0 Aug 31 16:58:04 alex routed[54]: rtadd: can't get interface for 144.228.0.0 [ last 4 lines repeat ... ] Also, when trying to connect to ftp.uu.net, I get the following unfriendly message: ftp> open ftp.uu.net Connected to ftp.uu.net. 220 ftp.UU.NET FTP server (Version wu-2.4(1) Thu Apr 14 15:45:10 EDT 1994) ready. Name (ftp.uu.net:alex): anonymous 530- Sorry, we're unable to map your IP address 198.68.161.123 to a hostname 530- in the DNS. This is probably because your nameserver does not have 530- matching A and PTR record for your address in its tables, or because 530- your reverse nameservers are not registered. We refuse service to 530- hosts whose names we cannot resolve. If this is simply because your 530- nameserver is hard to reach or slow to respond then try again in a 530- minute or so, and perhaps our nameserver will have your hostname in 530- its cache by then. If not, try reaching us from a host that is in 530- the DNS or have your system administrator fix your servers. 530 User anonymous access denied.. Login failed. My system admin checked, and told me that my A and PTR records were fine, whatever they are ... presumably something having to do with named. He also indicated that ftp.uu.net can be reached fine from my ppp gateway, 198.68.160.3. Since I put my ppp setup together from randomly reading a few FAQs and some man pages which I found to be almost incomprehensible, I think I probably made some common error with my setup. I've included some items having to do with my setup attached to the end of the article. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks very much.
