I have been working on this problem for a month and I really need some help. I have two FreeBSD boxes sitting right next to each other connected by a null-modem cable on sio1 on both boxes. I have pppd 2.2.0 on one machine and pppd 2.1.2 on the other. I dont think that makes much of a difference. On the "server" my /etc/ppp/options looks like: crtscts 172.16.0.2:172.16.0.1 domain server.domain1.dom passive proxyarp debug and on the "client" the /etc/ppp/options look like: crtscts noipdefault domain client.domain2.com :172.16.0.2 defaultroute I run "pppd /dev/ttyd1 9600" on the server and it says: Sep 23 21:48:07 server pppd[386]: pppd 2.2.0 started by root, uid 0 Sep 23 21:48:10 server pppd[386]: Using interface ppp0 then I run "pppd /dev/cuaa1 9600" on the client and it says: Sep 23 21:37:09 client pppd[211]: pppd 2.1.2 started by root, uid 0 Sep 23 21:37:09 client pppd[211]: Using interface ppp0 On both machines it says something to the effect of: Sep 23 21:48:10 server pppd[386]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyd1 Sep 23 21:48:10 server pppd[386]: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <mru 1500> <magic 0x6fda7dbf> <pcomp> <accomp>] Sep 23 21:48:37 server last message repeated 9 times Sep 23 21:48:40 server pppd[386]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests Sep 23 21:48:40 server pppd[386]: Hangup (SIGHUP) Sep 23 21:48:40 server pppd[386]: Modem hangup Sep 23 21:48:40 server pppd[386]: Exit. No matter what I try I cant get past this timeout for LCP requests. Can anybody please help me or at least suggest something to try next. I do not want to use user ppp at this time, however. Thank you in advance. Please if you need any other information to help me just ask. I dont know what is important in this situation so I am just shooting in the dark. richardl@ufp.com
