Re: [TTLUG] Re: cannot connect to the net - TSTT again?

[Anonymous]

Couple things:

checkproc messages look rather suspect...never seen those before (not
that that means anything).

Firstly, I might try su to root and "ifconfig ppp0" up or "wvdial".

Secondly, try stripping down your wvdial.conf, particularly, remove the
Init3= line.

Thirdly, try wvdial.conf as the following:

[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyS0
Baud = 115200
Phone = 6195638
Username =*myusername*
Password =*mypassword*

then add

Dial Command = ATDT

then

Init1 = ATZ

and

Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2

...sometimes less is more.

Finally, try connecting to another ISP, see what happens.

Cheers,
A.

Two things

If you do

# lsmod

what do you see? I'm at work now and my internet connection doesn't use
PPP here, but perhaps somebody else can list the modules
you're supposed to have for ppp to work. I know it includes ppp and slhc
(I think). If all the needed modules aren't loaded, then PPP
will fail.

So list the output from 'lsmod' for us and let's take a look.

I'm not sure what 'checkproc' is. I've never encountered it before.

But I also haven't ever seen the line

"Jun 19 16:27:27 SOL pppd[3910]: Script /etc/ppp/ip-up finished (pid
3927), status = 0x0"


in /var/log/messages before. It makes me wonder what is in /etc/ppp/ip-up. I haven't messed with
this file before. I normally put stuff in /etc/ppp/ip-up.local instead.

It seems to me that your dialer script is working fine. It's a problem with the PPP setup.
I remember one time I didn't have some async support compiled into the kernel for PPP and not
for hell would PPP connect until I added that.

If I had to guess, I'd say that some modules wasn't getting loaded, so PPP dies.

Here's what I have on my home system.

ppp_async 7520
ppp_generic 15452
slhc  5040

These are, I believe, the modules that have to be loaded. Can you try to
capture the output of
lsmod while you are trying to connect, or just after (before the unused
modules are automatically
removed from memory)?

If you have less than the three modules above, I'd suggest taking a look
at your kernel config.
We're looking for

CONFIG_PPP=m
CONFIG_PPP_ASYNC=m
CONFIG_PPP_SYNC_TTY=m
CONFIG_PPP_DEFLATE=m
CONFIG_PPP_BSDCOMP=m

If these are commented out, then possibly the kernel you are using,
doesn't have all the modules compiled.
(The config file is usually in /usr/src/linux/.config. On my Slackware
system, there is also a copy in
/boot/config.)

When I had the connection problem, I remember it was becoz I was missing
the ppp_async module.
