Hi, I'm trying to track down a problem that has recently surfaced with my ppp connection.
sys info: i586 running linux kernel 2.4.4 and pppd version 2.4.1 a few times recently my connection has died (usually when idle) with the following messages in my ppp.log file: <begin ppp.log extract> Jun 2 13:19:38 twoflower pppd[313]: sent [LCP EchoReq id=0x44 magic=0x9d1952ee] Jun 2 13:19:38 twoflower pppd[313]: rcvd [LCP EchoRep id=0x44 magic=0x0] Jun 2 13:19:42 twoflower pppd[313]: rcvd [CBCP code=0x5 id=0x1] Jun 2 13:19:42 twoflower pppd[313]: Unsupported protocol 'CallBack Control Prot ocol (CBCP)' (0xc029) received Jun 2 13:19:42 twoflower pppd[313]: sent [LCP ProtRej id=0x2 c0 29 05 01 00 04] Jun 2 13:19:42 twoflower pppd[313]: rcvd [IPCP TermReq id=0x2] Jun 2 13:19:42 twoflower pppd[313]: IPCP terminated by peer Jun 2 13:19:42 twoflower pppd[313]: Script /etc/ppp/ip-down started (pid 1796) Jun 2 13:19:42 twoflower pppd[313]: sent [IPCP TermAck id=0x2] Jun 2 13:19:42 twoflower pppd[313]: Script /etc/ppp/ip-down finished (pid 1796) , status = 0x0 Jun 2 13:19:43 twoflower pppd[313]: rcvd [LCP TermReq id=0x3] Jun 2 13:19:43 twoflower pppd[313]: LCP terminated by peer Jun 2 13:19:43 twoflower pppd[313]: sent [LCP TermAck id=0x3] Jun 2 13:19:46 twoflower pppd[313]: Connection terminated. Jun 2 13:19:46 twoflower pppd[313]: Connect time 34.1 minutes. <end ppp.log extract> These connection failures which occur when pppd receives this CBCP message first appear in my logs on May 24, and I'm trying to work out whether this is something wrong at my end, or if my ISP has changed something recently. It is possible that the problem is related to the 2.4.4 kernel, which I installed about a week before the problem first appeared. Normally I have very few drop outs or disconnections of any kind - so three in the last week or so does count as something not right thanks in advance David -------------------------------------------------------- Today people in droves hurry up past Heumoz to Villars on the road to the ski hills, so they can rush down them as fast as possible, so they can hurry up again in order to rush down again.
