Dear Fellow Debianites, Thanks in advance for any help with this strange problem I am having. I am trying to set up a PPP server at work. It is a Debian machine running hamm with ppp version 2.3.5-2. Same setup at my home-machine as well. I am setting this up in the server with mgetty and AutoPPP. The relevant line I use is /AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap login withing mgetty's login.config. Autoppp works and I get a succesful PAP login. After that though, the home-client machine is not being given the IP address specified in /etc/ppp/options.ttyS0 of the server. At home, I used pppconfig to setup the connection script. Note that the home PPP setup and pppconfig scripts work for the official campus PPP connection that uses PAP. So I suspect that the problem is not in my home machine. I am able to use minicom and get connected to the debian work server. But since the home client is not able to get its local IP address from the server, the ppp connection fails.
I am enclosing relevant segments of syslog and my options files below for both the client and server. For security purposes, usernames, passwords, client and server names have been edited and made generic. I would appreciate any help in this regard. I apologize for the length of this message. Gopal. ------------------------------ home-client syslog ------------------ Dec 11 08:31:20 home-client pppd[17719]: pppd 2.3.5 started by root, uid 0 Dec 11 08:31:22 home-client chat[17720]: abort on (BUSY) Dec 11 08:31:22 home-client chat[17720]: abort on (NO CARRIER) Dec 11 08:31:22 home-client chat[17720]: abort on (VOICE) Dec 11 08:31:22 home-client chat[17720]: abort on (NO DIALTONE) Dec 11 08:31:22 home-client chat[17720]: abort on (NO ANSWER) Dec 11 08:31:22 home-client chat[17720]: send (ATZ^M) Dec 11 08:31:22 home-client chat[17720]: expect (OK) Dec 11 08:31:22 home-client chat[17720]: ATZ^M^M Dec 11 08:31:22 home-client chat[17720]: OK Dec 11 08:31:22 home-client chat[17720]: -- got it Dec 11 08:31:22 home-client chat[17720]: send (ATDT5551212^M) Dec 11 08:31:23 home-client chat[17720]: expect (CONNECT) Dec 11 08:31:23 home-client chat[17720]: ^M Dec 11 08:31:44 home-client chat[17720]: ATDT5551212^M^M Dec 11 08:31:44 home-client chat[17720]: CONNECT Dec 11 08:31:44 home-client chat[17720]: -- got it Dec 11 08:31:44 home-client chat[17720]: send (\d) Dec 11 08:31:45 home-client pppd[17719]: Serial connection established.
