networking trouble
I am still trying to migrate to Debian from RedHat but having little
success. After many tries I finally got X and GNOME working, now I am
trying to get the networking going, in particular ppp. I tried various
things already but without success, and right now I am about all out of
ideas wht to try next, thus any help is appreciated.
I want to set up ppp such that it dials on demand. I have this working
on my RedHat system and figured I should be able to do the same on
Debian. Thus I copied
/etc/ppp/options
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets
/etc/ppp/chap-script
/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/hosts
/etc/hosts.deny
/etc/hosts.allow
from my RedHat system to the Debian system. This does not appear to be
good enough. I can start pppd, no complaints, but when I start mozilla
pppd makes no attempt to connect to my ISP.
Another issue is that I keep getting the following messages to my log
file
Sep 8 08:42:13 journey kernel: Packet log: input DENY eth0 PROTO=17
192.168.1.2:138 192.168.255.255:138 L=205 S=0x00 I=53061 F=0x0000 T=128
(#6)
This happens about every second, such my log file can get lare quickly.
When I shut the system down I get the following message
Sep 8 08:44:43 journey kernel: device eth0 left promiscuous mode
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Robert
