Lines: 63 Distribution: inet Message-ID: <524eqa$6gk@news1.cle.ab.com> Reply-To: bruce.halco@ab.com NNTP-Posting-Host: lr3m1.cle.ab.com X-Newsreader: IBM NewsReader/2 v1.2.5 I checked the archives, and didn't see any reports of this particular behaviour. I'm trying to connect to a host using user-mode ppp, dynamic IP addressing. I start ppp, enter term mode, dial and login manually (I havn't gotten to auto-login yet). Type "ppp", the prompt changes from "ppp ON" to "PPP ON", the addresses show up in the routing table. I can ping my own reported address. Sounds great, right? If I ping the gateway address, I can see the modem lights blinking just like they should (TXD-RXD, one second intervals), but ping never sees the replies. When I ^C ping, it reports 100% packet loss. netstat -r shows Opkts increasing, but not Ipkts (no surprise, I guess). Eventually (3 minutes I think, but I keep forgetting to time it) I get the message "routed [49]: deleting route to interface tun0 (timed out)". This message gets repeated 3 minutes later. Any ideas?
