Any help on pointing me in the right direction would be greatly
appreciated. I am experiencing 2 frustrating problems:
For reference: pppd 2.3.10, linux 2.2.12. All ppp and ipmasq modules
are compiled as modules and I verified that they were loaded durring
these "occurances". I also talked to my ISP to verify that they don't
have policies on connect times, or daily down times.
This is going to wrap a little... :/
1. From time to time, my ppp0 interface just stops working. Such as:
Sith:~# ifconfig ppp0
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:207.158.172.195 P-t-P:206.84.176.80 Mask:255.255.255.255

RX packets:29157 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

collisions:0 txqueuelen:10
Sith:~# ping 206.84.176.80

Sith:~# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
206.84.176.80 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
192.168.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
0.0.0.0 206.84.176.80 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0
From ppp.log's point of view, it stops recieving lcp replies (though
it keeps sending requests). From message's kernel logs, it gets a
bunch of protocol 17 messages and then just "dies" (i.e. doesnt record
anything else for whatever reason).
OK, so thats weird.
My SECOND problem is that my modem just up and hangs up
occaisionally. As far as this is concerned, I just hope someone can
tell me how to start determining if it was due to a change on my side
or the ISPs side.
Both of these problems "go away" when I hangup and re-connect.
Thanks!!!
