I have come upon an odd occurence while using iijppp in FreeBSD 2.1..One
day while working away I used a port scanner on my system. The system was
currently connected to numerous places via iijppp. When the portscanner
reached the uucp port it killed the ppp link and syslog gave a uucp read:
error.
Ever since then when I connect with ppp the only place that is reachable
is my ppp server. If I try to connect to any other system using either
its IP or its name, it just times-out. I can carry on any number
of connections with the ppp server, but no luck with anything else.
I have no idea if the two are even related, but I do know that none of
my configuration files have been modified and that my ppp server has remained
stable.
Anyone wanna try this one?
