Hello, I am seeking assistance in configuring PPP 2.3.2 for demand dialing. My setup works up until I add the demand option and the remote ip to the options file. PPP will even initiate the link and will dial only when there is data to be transmitted, which is the correct behaviour. PPP then connects and the pc is issued a dynamic IP by my provider. At this point no internet programs return any data.
Here is my /etc/ppp/peers/acorn: connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/acorn" /dev/modem 38400 defaultroute noipdefault modem crtscts noauth demand :199.218.0.5 idle 180 A typical session: $ pon acorn (link is established but not dialed) $ telnet rover (ppp dials and apparently connects but i never get the prompt back from this command) plog shows: Jan 7 06:11:36 woody pppd[1405]: pppd 2.3.2 started by jfoltz, uid 1000 Jan 7 06:11:36 woody pppd[1405]: Using interface ppp0 Jan 7 06:11:36 woody pppd[1405]: Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP Jan 7 06:11:36 woody pppd[1405]: local IP address 0.0.0.0 Jan 7 06:11:36 woody pppd[1405]: remote IP address 199.218.0.5 Jan 7 06:12:30 woody pppd[1405]: Starting link Jan 7 06:12:31 woody chat[1409]: timeout set to 30 seconds Jan 7 06:12:31 woody chat[1409]: abort on (BUSY) Jan 7 06:12:31 woody chat[1409]: abort on (NO CARRIER) Jan 7 06:12:31 woody chat[1409]: abort on (VOICE) Jan 7 06:12:31 woody chat[1409]: abort on (NO DIALTONE) Jan 7 06:12:31 woody chat[1409]: send (ATZ3^M) Jan 7 06:12:31 woody chat[1409]: expect (OK) Jan 7 06:12:32 woody chat[1409]: ATZ3^M^M Jan 7 06:12:32 woody chat[1409]: OK Jan 7 06:12:32 woody chat[1409]: -- got it Jan 7 06:12:32 woody chat[1409]: send (ATM0^M) Jan 7 06:12:32 woody chat[1409]: expect (OK) Jan 7 06:12:32 woody chat[1409]: ^M Jan 7 06:12:32 woody chat[1409]: ATM0^M^M Jan 7 06:12:32 woody chat[1409]: OK Jan 7 06:12:32 woody chat[1409]: -- got it Jan 7 06:12:32 woody chat[1409]: send (ATDT434-2736^M) Jan 7 06:12:32 woody chat[1409]: expect (CONNECT) Jan 7 06:12:32 woody chat[1409]: ^M Jan 7 06:12:47 woody chat[1409]: ATDT434-2736^M^M Jan 7 06:12:47 woody chat[1409]: CONNECT Jan 7 06:12:47 woody chat[1409]: -- got it Jan 7 06:12:47 woody chat[1409]: send () Jan 7 06:12:47 woody pppd[1405]: Serial connection established.
