I am not sure if MYADDR : macro is built-in in iijppp. Because of dynamic IP assignment, I just : left it as above.) [Q2] Is it OK? Nope. These have to be the numerical IP adresses of your box (MYADDR) and the IP gateway (router) of your ISP (HISADDR) respectively. I don't know what to specify for MYADDR when using dynamic IP assignment (maybe "default"?) but you should be able to specify HISADDR. This will set a default route to the ppp gateway after linkup. : /etc/ppp/ppp.secret : ------------------- : mypc MYPCPW 10.0.0.1 : ^^^^^^^^ : [Q3] Is this OK? Good heavens! No, it's NOT OK to post your password in a newsgroup! What do you think the word "secret" stands for? ;-) Now this "MYPCPW" has to be set to the password that your ISP gave you. It obviously isn't set correctly in your configuration (see below). I don't think the IP address 10.0.0.1 is correct, either. (Does it belong there, anyway?) Consult the manpage for (iij)ppp please. : [Q5] Only a few minutes after booting, the following error message shows : up on the console. I am totally clueless why it happens and what : I have done wrong in iijppp configuration. : What should I do to correct this problem? I have no clue. Maybe you should fix the other bugs in your config first and try again. Do you want to do dial-on-demand PPP? Maybe you just forgot to have a "ppp -auto" in your /etc/rc.local file?? : 5) Why ppp connection not established? : ====================================== : Now, I reboot the machine, again, yes again, in order to test iijppp : before the route-to-tun0 problem occurs. : Tesing iijppp: (My test of iijppp proceeded as follows:) : 1) mypc# ppp : 2) User Process PPP.

I think that authenticitation (PAP) has gone wrong, i.e. your password might have been been specified incorrectly. See below. The connection to your ISP was established successfully and ppp mode was enabled.

I know from my own experience that ppp configuration is not an easy task, esp. if you don't know that much about networking. BTW, what I tell you may be complete crap, so don't be too much surprised if it doesn't work. The only time I had to configure a ppp link was when I wanted to connect my box at home to campus so I am by no means an expert in configuring (iij)ppp. -- Martin Butkus >>> Live long and prosper. <<< Phone/Fax: +49.5331.298710 Am Stadtwege 10, 38304 Wolfenbuettel, Germany
