PP failure problem...

[Gregory Guthrie <guthrie@mum.edu>]

I love LRP so far, but we are having trouble getting it working.

I tried it on three different systems, get the same repeatable error on each. 
  (One has an eexpress card, the others 3c509)
>>1) I get an error at boot time:
>>
>>  SIOCADDRT : network unreachable.
>>  SIOCADDRT : network unreachable.
>>    right after the eexpress.o ethernet card driver/module is loaded.
>>    The card parameters are OK (same as Windows uses)
>
-- I have a full debian install, on the same machine, same cards, same
setup, etc.., it does the same thing, and works fine.

>>3) ** I also get errors:
>>    IPX support not present in the kernel
>>    /etc/portslave/server.cfg  no such file or device
>>
>>   these are logged in /var/log/user.log
>>   whenever I try to start pppd; 
>>   the pppd command completes, logs these errors, and then is not running
>>    (even though I have passive, and -detach set).
>>
>>   pppd options used are:
>>       asyncmap 0
>>       crtscts  local  mru 552  mtu 552 lock  -detach
>>       -ip   local_ip:remote_ip             <-- names from hosts file
>>       proxyarp
>>       passive defaultroute netmask 255.255.255.0
>>
-- I am not running anything IPX.

Since the same system runs regular Debian fine; something must be wrong
with my LRP setup. I just re-downloaded everything, and still get the same
thing.

Any ideas appreciated.
