ppp - no response to LCP ConfReq
Hello
I have been having a terrible time fixing a PPP connection on my linux system.
Everything was working fine till 2 days ago. Win95 can still connect so I
looked at the ppplog.txt file there and comparing it to previous connects, it
looks like the authentication procedure on the server has changed from PAP to
CHAP. I have setup the chap-secrets file accordingly as well as set the name
and remotename options. After the call comes up and chat hands over to pppd,
I get these messages
Aug 26 03:35:37 nsx pppd[9455]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS1
Aug 26 03:35:37 nsx pppd[9455]: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <asyncmap 0x0> <magic
0xffff9001> <pcomp> <accomp>]
Aug 26 03:36:07 nsx last message repeated 10 times
Aug 26 03:36:07 nsx pppd[9455]: Hangup (SIGHUP)
Aug 26 03:36:07 nsx pppd[9455]: Modem hangup
Aug 26 03:36:07 nsx pppd[9455]: Connection terminated.
Aug 26 03:36:08 nsx pppd[9455]: Exit.
It looks like I send the LCP ConfReq for 30 secs then the modem hangs up.
There appears to be no response from the server at all.
I also noticed that the option "lcp-max-configure" has no effect on the number
of requests I send, contrary to what is in the man page. What does work is
the lcp-restart option. With this I can control the interval between the LCP
requests but still after 30 secs LCP configure requests stop and the modem
hangs up. Is there a setting for controlling the time for which LCP requests
are sent.
Right now I am lost. I have RTFM but if I have missed anything please point
it out.
I have kernel v2.0.34 on a hamm system with ppp 2.3.5.
TIA
