PPP problems.
I've recently got an account with the UK ISP "RedHotAnt". I've used
pppconfig to get the dial-up connection working.
My problem is this:
1) I can ping hosts on the internet and traceroute to them but I cannot seem
to get any other traffic.
2) Starting a telnet session to a host on the internet, I only see the login
prompt after the session has timed out.
3) Using tcpdump I see mostly outbound traffic and very little inbound
traffic.
I had "dnrd" installed and removing it's /etc/ppp/ip-up.d script seems to
allow DNS look ups to work.
I also had VMWare installed but have removed it's dummy network kernel
modules in case they were having a bad effect.
I am using unstable Debian (updated every day) which was originally Slink. I
am using kernel 2.2.14 with the "dummy" module loaded.
I have other ISP dial-ups (Demon and BT Internet) which work fine. And I
know of another Debian user who uses RedHotAnt but via ISDN. I also know a
Mandrake Linux user who has no problems.
Can anyone help me?
Cheers. Ashley
