I tried it all. I do have a registered domain name. Funny thing is, if
I use user-ppp instead of pppd then it works.
The following is my /etc/ppp/options file (almost):
crtscts # enable hardware flow control
modem # modem control line
noipdefault # remote PPP server must supply your IP address.
# if the remote host doesn't send your IP during IPCP
# negotiation , remove this option
passive # wait for LCP packets
domain xxxxxx.com # put your domain name here
connect "/usr/bin/chat -f /etc/ppp/login.chat.script"
netmask aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
123.456.789.123: # put the IP of remote PPP host here
# it will be used to route packets via PPP link
# if you didn't specified the noipdefault option
# change this line to <local_ip>:<remote_ip>
defaultroute # put this if you want that PPP server will be your
# default router
I think it looks fine. What do you think?
Maybe I leave out a very important setting in the file...
