Since it's ppp that fails the interesting bits will be in /var/log/messages, since that's where ppp logs to. If you don't get any useful error messages there, try editing /etc/ppp/options and uncomment (remove the # from) the line that says 'debug'. After that, ppp should tell you more or less exactly what's going on. regards Anders On Wednesday 03 October 2001 03.33, Marc wrote:
First off - many apologies if this is sent to the wrong list but have searched FAQ's, SDB, even read the manual and man pages and I am still stuffed. If you could suggest answers or where I could find - would be mega grateful. Would have sent query to SuSE support as a registered user but am now out of the 90 day support period. Should have sorted this problem then but didn't due to lack of time, money etc.
Problem I have installed 7.1 Pro (several times) and have yet to manage to connect to the net. Help me sort this out and I can finally torch the Windoze CD!!
Details PC Spec - Intel Pentium 266 (Slot 1) on Microstar BX chipset mainboard (old but available), 128Mb RAM, 4.2Gb HDD etc, etc. Modem is KTX (Rockwell chipset) external connected to /dev/ttyS0 (Works else you wouldn't be reading this)
Do installation of 7.1 selecting default options with installation from CD Rom
At Yast Step 8 - "System Component Configuration", MODEM/ISDN/NETWORK shows: - Unknown AT Modem
Click on "Activate Network" - modem parameters are shown correctly - /dev/ttyS0 - Select ISP - UK Freeserveand select to execute Netscape after connect. Save configuration and everything appears OK.
Log in to regular user account, - click on/run kinternet, the modem tones, dial tones etc can be heard but after about 30 seconds the modem disconnects.
All settings for the ISP (telephone number, login/user name, password etc) are all correct but repeated tries just give the same result.
Displaying the log while trying to connect shows as below: - --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.41

I think I have listed everything I can think of - where do I go from here?
PS. I have tried the MIcro$oft Experience and now know what XP really stands for
