I'm trying to set up an old laptop to use while traveling. Here are my trouble, posted in a hope, them some kind soul will go out of it's way to help me :) The MegahertzXJ10CB card is not recognized by PAO boot (2.2.1). Alright, I do not insist, let's use the null cable... The install on laptop brings me into the interactive ``ppp'', where I say ``term''. Then I start the pppd with the following config on my little server: /dev/cuaa0 local 57600 199.232.255.52:199.232.255.51 #parity crtscts dns1 199.232.255.48 proxyarp the server's address is 199.232.255.52 (same as it's ethernet card's, the laptop's will be 199.232.255.51). ppp on the laptop says "Packet mode" right a way, but then, it just sits there. And RPC requests made mount_nfs are failing. And I can not ping the 199.232.255.51 from the server. TIA -mi -- "Windows for dummies"
