Hello,
I'm having trouble connecting to my ISP.
I'm using 'wvdial' to dial in and I've also run 'pppconfig' and entered all the
appropriate information. Basically, I can't do anything after 'wvdial'
calls up 'pppd':
--> Sending: (password)
Entering PPP Session.
IP address is 64.154.143.106
MTU is 1524.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] };}!}$}%t}"}&} } } }
}'}"}(}"}3})}#} @{[19][0e]\(a~
--> PPP negotiation detected.
--> Starting pppd at Thu Sep 14 20:38:05
2000
If I type 'ifconfig', I see the following for
the ppp0 device:
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:64.154.137.31 P-t-P:63.215.26.130
Mask:255.255.255.255
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1524
Metric:1
RX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
frame:0
TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:10
QUESTION 1: My understanding is that the
"P-t-P" IP address should be the same as my ISP's Nameserver address
(Primary DNS). Is this true?? If so, then it's using the wrong
address. Where could "P-t-P" IP address possibly come
from?? I don't ever remember entering that number and I don't know where
it's coming from. I certainly did not enter it when running
'pppconfig'...
I've tried connecting several times, and the
"P-t-P" IP address never changes (unlike the dynamic "inet
addr" IP address). This may point to it being in some config file
somewhere...
I'm including a potion of my /var/log/messages
as the last piece of info...
