Say! How'd you get that to work? Is this 2.0R?
A local provider's giving me a free trail with PPP where his system
assigns an IP address from a pool. If I like it, I'll get the
dedicated link.
My ppp options file looks fine to me. I can dial his server (one of
those Annex systems), start ppp on his end, and start pppd on mine.
Then, the fun begins. I can telnet to the world if I specify IP
addresses. Each connection lasts only thirty seconds or so---then it
just hangs there. Sames true for incoming connections---to any port
(smtp, daytime, sink, etc.). And forget name-addr resolution. My
resolv.conf is pointed to his nameserver, but any hostname specified,
or even nslookup, gives a timeout.
Plus, the netstat command acts oddly: netstat -r or netstat -i print
their banner information, then wait for QUITE SOME TIME, then finally
print their info. If I kill pppd, then the commands start working
fine again.
My ppp options file, kernel config file, or any other pertinent info
available on request.
