yet another ppp failure story...
O.k. I've checked the archives, read the howto's, and as well as the
FAQs, but I can't start a ppp connection going to my isp through a
dialup. First, I try wvdial and I get this at the end of the
standard output.
Entering PPP mode.
Async interface address is unnumbered (Ethernet0)
Your IP address is 129.49.77.251. MTU is 1500 bytes
Header compression will match your system.
--> Looks like a welcome message.
--> Starting pppd at Sat Dec 16 11:17:14 2000
--> PPP daemon has died! (exit code = 7)
--> Disconnecting at Sat Dec 16 11:17:16 2000
--> pppd error! Look at files in /var/log for an explanation.
Looking at the ppp debug information I have directed to a log file I see this:
Dec 19 18:47:02 anima pppd[200]: pppd 2.3.11 started by root, uid 0
Dec 19 18:47:04 anima pppd[200]: Hangup (SIGHUP)
Dec 19 18:47:04 anima pppd[200]: Failed to reopen /dev/ttyS0:
Resource temporarily unavailable
Dec 19 18:47:04 anima pppd[200]: Exit.
Now if I try calling up pppd directly with the command (pppd
/dev/ttyS0 38400 debug connect "chat -vf mychatscript" ), I get
this debug info upon connection:
Dec 19 19:03:31 anima pppd[236]: Serial connection established.
Dec 19 19:03:31 anima pppd[236]: Using interface ppp0
Dec 19 19:03:31 anima pppd[236]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS0
Dec 19 19:03:31 anima pppd[236]: Hangup (SIGHUP)
Dec 19 19:03:31 anima pppd[236]: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <asyncmap
0x0> <magic 0x2bf6244c> <pcomp> <accomp>]
Dec 19 19:03:31 anima pppd[236]: write: warning: Input/output error (5)
Dec 19 19:03:31 anima pppd[236]: Modem hangup
Dec 19 19:03:31 anima pppd[236]: Connection terminated.
Dec 19 19:03:32 anima pppd[236]: Exit.
Now, I have seen this message posted, but haven't found any
solutions. Other information,
My /etc/ppp/option file looks like this
noauth
lock
debug
defaultroute
Also, despite the fact that I don't have a loopback interface in my
netstat -rn routes, I can still ping localhost. In addition, I have
also setup my /etc/resolv.conf file (with relevant nameservers)
correctly.
So what should I do now? I am using vanilla install of Debian Potato
for PowerPC, kernel 2.2.17
Thanks for any information,
p.s. I have already followed
http://axion.physics.ubc.ca/ppp-linux.html, so don't recommend it.
It's also out of date.
