Re: Re[2]: [SLE] WVDIAL problem

perhaps I missed something, but dummy is an ethernet card, and wvdial.dod is looking for the ppp0 card. It still looks like /etc/hosts should have ppp0 and not dummy0. dummy0 has the same IP address as ppp0. That is what I see so far. Please post /etc/hosts. --- Lee Smallbone wrote:

Hi guys,

I have a real big problem with wvdial and route. :(

6 out of 7 ISPs I have in my /etc/wvdial.conf list (bearing in mind they all worked last week), now don't work. Only one of them works now, and only if I changed the number to a different POP.

When I connect using the number that works, I get the following output from 'route -n'

root@itchy:/home/lee > route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 dummy0 158.152.1.222 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 27 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 17 lo 0.0.0.0 158.152.1.222 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 31 ppp0

When I connect using any other ISP or any other number for the ISP that DOES work, I get:

root@itchy:/home/lee > route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 dummy0 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 29 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 17 lo

Also, I get on some ISPs

-->Starting pppd at Mon Oct 9 16:43:31 2000 -->PPP daemon has died! (exit code = 1) -->Disconnecting at Mon Oct 9 16:44:02 2000

What is going on? What has changed? Has anyone else had this problem? What can I do to fix it?

Thanks for your time in advance,
