I had a devil (excuse the pun) of a problem keeping ppp alive when I first got it working til I used "ppp -ddial <ISP>" to dial . This apparently negates any timeout setting and forces ppp to keep the connection up .... if it disconnects its supposed to bring it up again, however I can't speak about that from personal experience (yet) as mine has not yet lost the connection > any idea what could cause this, and any way of preventing it in future? > > Sep 6 04:48:01 scientia ppp[16181]: tun0: Warning: ip_Input: IPCP not open - packet dropped > Sep 6 04:48:01 scientia ppp[16181]: tun0: Warning: nat_LayerPull: Problem with IP header length > Sep 6 04:48:02 scientia /kernel: pid 16181 (ppp), uid 0: exited on signal 10 (core dumped) > > The core file wasn't very helpful, since my ppp wasn't built with > debugging symbols. > > -- > Ben Smithurst | PGP: 0x99392F7D > ben@scientia.demon.co.uk | key available from keyservers and > | ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
