RE: 5th day using Linux and cannot get Dynamic IP clients to work on PPP
I am answering my post for the 3rd time here :) I have been doing more
troubleshooting. Now on hour 15 of trying to resolve this... I am attempting
to see if somehow my ppp0 connection is filtered. I have no GUI, but I did
discover by browsing through aptitude that I have wget installed.
I tried wget www.google.com and I got
http://www.google.com
=> 'index.html'
Resolving (bunch of IPs bound to the domain)
Connecting www.google.com[66.233.16199]:80... Failed: Connection Timed Out
This is pretty much what I get with ez-ipupdate Somehow, I suspect that my
OS is not letting traffic through on TCP port 80 through my ppp0 connection.
Mind you, everything works through my eth0 connection... And when connected
through ppp0 I can ping out, ping my box from a remote host over the
Internet and reach a web server behind my box...
Could someone please help? This has got to be some easy "Allow TCP traffic
over ppp" command that needs to be placed in some file buried 5 layers deep.
Come on guys, it's my 5th day and I already want to practice distance throws
with my new Linux box.

Ohh yes, I am using wvdial to make my PPP connection. I thought I would try
the more standard pppd, but I have not been able to find a good instruction
set on how to configure it. Where is a good place to get basic help like
this? I tried searching linux from scratch, but could not find anything
having to do with creating ppp connections...

PPP
Hi All.
I have Debian Linux 2.6 Kernel (no GUI) with a Kyocera KPC650 modem PCMCIA
card under Verizon. I for the life of me cannot get any Dynamic DNS service
to work on my box! They work just fine if I point them to post my Eth0 IP
but do not work on my ppp0 connection. I have tried ez-ipupdate, ddclient
and some other one for client software with dyndns.com and hn.org services.
Both clients work on my Eth0 connection just fine, none work with ppp0.
I *THINK* that it may have something to do with my having removed LCP
options in /etc/ppp/options - this was required to get the modem card to
work without dropping every 2min 30sec.
Another possible reason is that maybe the clients are unable to read the IP
address of my ppp0 connection. When I type in ROUTE, I can see plainly the
IP addresses of my Ethernet connections by my ppp0 interface shows "default"
under destination. I do not know what the clients use to get the IP of the
ppp0 connection, but this does not look right.
Far as my ppp connection, I can ping out through it, I can ping in and I
have routing set up so that I can reach a web server behind my dial-up box
and that works fine.
When running ez-ipupdate manually, the program runs, then halts for a long
time while looking at the PPP connection (like 5-10 minutes) and eventually
says something like:
could not reach members.dyndns.org:80
I am stomped!
