Re: REPOST: Diald routing (Help!)
i'm having the same problem with slirp/ppp connection (connection gets
dropped). pon scripts log in OK and slirp starts up but LCP negotiation
fails with error message "No Network Protocols Running"
tried disabling 'defaultroute' and adding the default route myself before
running pon, but doing 'route add default ppp0' results in message:
SIOCADDRT: Operation not supported by device
on another machine running an older version of linux (1.2/2.0.27) and
older version of ppp (2.2.0f) adding and deleting the default route
with 'route add/del default ppp0' works as it should and updates the
routing table. any ideas about what's causing the error message above?
