Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Sat, 18 Jul 1998 16:30:38 +0100 From: Brian Somers Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, This was a problem in the 2.2.6 release, but does not manifest itself in the latest version (or the -stable version). The problem is due to the peer IP number being set to 0.0.0.0 (the default). The reason it's rearing its ugly head in your case is because you haven't indented the ``set openmode active'' line in your config and ppp stops reading your configuration entry at that point as a result - missing the ``set ifaddr'' line. Indenting the ``set openmode'' line should solve the problem. > Hi Brian, > > I have a question regarding a problem I am having with ppp. The version > I am using is PPP Version 2.0 - $Date: 1998/07/12 00:30:18 $ > > The problem is as follows: > > I connect to my ISP with a standard login/password chat script and get > through the authentication OK but never get through the IPCP address > negotiation.

It seems to be fine, but I haven't tested it against any other implementations except mpd (I have no access to the required hardware). > Thanks, > Carey Nairn -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
