To: FreeBSD-Questions@freebsd.org Cc: FreeBSD-Stable@freebsd.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi All, I sent this message a week ago but got no reply. Does anyone out there have more than one PPP dialup link working?? Or a straight forward way I can debug a pure CHAP link? <<<< Original message below >>>> Recently while trying to set up a second PPP link (ppp1) I encounted an error; PPP complained that the netmask of 255.255.255.0 was invalid. I believe it may have something to do with the fact that I already have one PPP link (ppp0) which has a network mask of 255.255.255.128. I am using kernel ppp with - 'pppd file options.vpn' as the command. Setting the netmask to 255.255.255.128 on the second link (ppp1) allows the dialer script to dial and make the connection, but this mask is not valid for the client/gateway combination. Also, despite the fact that I do NOT specify the 'defaultroute' option in the second ppp link options file (options.vpn) pppd attempts to add it giving an error: 'default route exists' Anyone got a clue what's wrong. I am running 3.4S from about midway through Feb/00. Thanks Greg ps. I'm not in the mailing list :( (could not cope with the volume)ie. please include me in replies!! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Kick off your party with Yahoo!
