First of all I'd like to thank all of you for responding to my problem..Here I am
giving you all the pertinent data to try and fix my problem.
The problem? Well, I can't connect to my ISP,
though my modem is dialing out..I can here it do so, and I can hear the
screeching sound.
The answers I gave to pppconfig:
primary nameserver:
134.68.1.9
secondary nameserver:
134.68.140.1
provider name: provider (the default since I have just one ISP)
Password: *****
username: mcoelho
port modem is on:
/dev/ttyS0
defaultroute enabled
noipdefault
modem port speed :
115200
modem initialization string: ATZ
(I've let it choose its default settings as I don't know what the
initialization string is for my modem: 56k Cardinal connecta
external)
number to dial :
2785619
ATDT tone
authentication method : PAP (My
friends who have Win-operating systems are able to connect easily, so I guess my
university provides PAP)
I ran pon 4 times. The first time plog gave
me this:
chat: expect (CONNECT)
chat: ^M
chat: ATDT2785619^M
chat:CONNECT
chat:--got it
chat:send (\d)
pppd: Serial Connection
Established
pppd:Using interface
ppp0
pppd:Connect
ppp0<-->/dev/ttyS0
pppd: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1
<asyncmap 0x0> magic 0xffff024f>
<pcomp><acomp>]
last message repeated 9
times
pppd: Hangup (SIGHUP)
pppd: Modem hangup
pppd:
Connection
terminated
pppd: Exit
The 2nd, 3rd and 4th times, as well as all other times in the
past, I got this:
chat: expect (CONNECT)
chat: ^M
chat: ATDT2785619^M
chat:CONNECT
chat:--got it
chat:send (\d)
pppd: Serial Connection

pppd:Using interface

ppp0<-->/dev/ttyS0
pppd: [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <asyncmap

last message repeated 9
times
pppd: LCP: Timeout Sending Config_Requests
pppd: Connection

pppd: Receive serial link is not 8-bit
clean:
pppd: Problem: all had bit 7 set to

pppd:
Hangup (SIGHUP)
pppd:
Exit
I did a "ping 134.68.140.1", but it gave me
"unknown host 134.68.140.1". So I wasn't
connected.
Now here are the contents of some pertinent
files:
/etc/chatscripts/provider
ABORT BUSY
ABORT "NO CARRIER"
ABORT VOICE
ABORT "NO DIALTONE"
ABORT "NO ANSWER'
""ATZ
OK ATDT2785619
CONNECT \d\c
/etc/ppp/peers/provider
#This file was generated by pppconfig. You
can edit the following lines but don't delete any or change the comments else
you'll confuse pppconfig
noauth
#pppconfig_noauth
connect "usr/sbin/chat -v -f
/etc/chatscripts/provider"
#pppconfig_connect

#pppconfig_debug
/dev/ttyS0

defaultroute
#pppconfig_route
noipdefault
#pppconfig_ipdefault
user
mcoelho
#pppconfig_user
#End of pppconfig controlled lines. You
can add lines below here wothout confusing pppconfig
In the file /etc/ppp/peers/provider.old
(whose contents are same as above except for pppconfig_dev and
pppconfig_speed which is 384000), I changed '/dev/modem' to
'/dev/ttyS0'.
/etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 134.68.1.9
nameserver 134.68.140.1
/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 pussycat

/etc/hostname

/etc/host.conf
Order hosts, bind
multi on
I think you'd be interested in knowing that I got the following
messages at boot time:
Configuring serial ports....failed....
Trying to load serial module manually
Serial driver version 4.13 with no serial options
enabled.
tty00 at 0x03f8 (irq=4) is a 16450
tty01 at 0x02f8 (irq=3) is a 16450
Success...retrying configuration..done
/dev/ttyS0 at 0x03f8 (irq=4) is a 16450
/dev/ttyS1 at 0x02f8 (irq=3) is a 16450
On doing a setserial -a /dev/ttyS0, I got:
/dev/ttyS0, line 0, UART: 16450, Port 0x3f8, IRQ: 4,
Baud_base:115200, close_delay:50, divisor :0 closing_wait:3000, closing_wait2 :infinite Flags:spd_normal
skip_test session_lockout
Then, I did a setserial /dev/ttyS0 spd_hi, but the problem
persists. In pppconfig, I changed the speed to 38400, yet the problem
remained so I it changed back to 115200.
Do you reckon the problem to be due to the fact that
I've a 16450 UART, though I seriously don't think so....
I have a 33.6 internal modem (not connected, of course)..should I be using
that instead?
I've racked my head ..(and some of yours) to fix the problem..I'm so fed
up..I hope someone out there can figure out a solution..
Thanks..
