That totally worked with the pap-secrets. Now my client windows machine will authenticate when I connect to the ppp server. But now I have a new problem. I can only send packets between the ppp client and the ppp server. Do I need to configure some route commands, so the packets can go elsewhere? So far all I have is
$ cat /etc/ppp/options.ttyS1 mammoth:mammoth-s1 where mammoth is the host name, and mammoth-s1 is a name I have resolved to another IP address for the serial port. Do I need to add addition routing information, so the modem user can connect elsewhere on the network? brian On Sat, Mar 11, 2000 at 02:26:04PM +1030, John Pearson wrote: > On Fri, Mar 10, 2000 at 07:15:49PM -0800, Brian Lavender wrote > > I am trying to create a dial in connection where I can dial into my > > computer using dialup networking on win 95 and create a ppp connection.
