So, as root, I blow away the default route, and add a new one with the
correct 'remote' site. Then, after a few minutes, the link 'dies'. No
packets come in or go out.
Nate,
With a one year-old config, I had the same problem after cvsup'ing. I
solved the problem by trial and error, and reading the sample files
out of the new /usr/src/etc/ppp directory populated by cvsup.
I found that you need to do what you're doing by hand in
/etc/ppp/ppp.linkup with a twist. The new version of ppp
*really* likes to have ppp.linkup now!
My normal configuration now looks like this (in the critical areas)
myisp:
...
set ifaddr 299.1.42.0/0 299.1.42.250/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
delete ALL
add default HISADDR
And ppp.linkup looks like this:
MYADDR:
delete 0
add 0 0 HISADDR
myisp:
delete ALL
add 0 0 HISADDR
Note that I doubt the MYADDR: is required, but since I don't have
time to test it after removing that section, I'm including it for
completeness.
Good luck!
Steve
