PPP ??? #@$#
I have encountered a strange problem with dialing out on PPP, and it is really bugging me now.
I have got a slightly adnormal server running. This is what it looks like.
I have got a local network running on and arcnet card whos address is 192.168.0.1, This works I and doesn't seem to stop working. I also have a hacked DNS server for my dial-up users which gets shut off when I go online.
The problem is I can connect to my server and everything looks 100% except for the fact I can't do anything on the Internet.
When I have connected and type in ifconfig this is what I am given :
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:127.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3584 Metric:1
RX packets:52 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
TX packets:52 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
arc0 Link encap:1.5Mbps ARCnet HWaddr 50
inet addr:192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
IPX/Ethernet 802.3 addr:00000123:000000000050
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:140 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
TX packets:218 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
Interrupt:5 Base address:0x260 Memory:d1000-d17ff
ppp0 Link encap:Point-Point Protocol
inet addr:196.25.198.23 P-t-P:196.25.198.2 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:11 errors:1 dropped:1 overruns:0
TX packets:37 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
This looks normal except for the ppp errors in which there is only one.
If I do a route -n this is what I am given :
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
196.25.198.2 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 1 ppp0
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 2 arc0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 4 lo
0.0.0.0 196.25.198.2 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 1 ppp0
This also looks right.
Now for some init files...
My /etc/init.d/network file :
#!/bin/sh
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
route add -net 127.0.0.0
IPADDR=192.168.0.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.0.0
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
GATEWAY=none
ifconfig arc0 ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST}
route add -net ${NETWORK}
route add default gw ${GATEWAY} metric 1
This as far as I can see is default unless something has changed without me noticing.
My /etc/hosts file :
127.0.0.1 localhost
0.0.0.0 ptest
192.168.0.1 progtest.alt.za progtest
My /etc/networks file :
loopback 127.0.0.1
localnet 0.0.0.0
alt.za 192.168.0.0
If anyone can shead some light on this I would be very happy. This has been bugging me for the past two months.
Thanks,
Robert.
