Hi,
I am giving suse 5.3 a try. I have used redhat, caldera, and debian and I have never had as much of a hard time setting up ppp as i am having with suse.
I am trying to use kppp and everytime i connect it will not get past my ISP saying "no carrier".
I have not done anything different than in the other distro's I have set up.
I cannot get suse's pppconfig to work either.
Any Idea's.
Rick
Hi Rick This is a FAQ ;-) you have a few options but I cant help you with kppp 1) and probably most recommended here is to use WvDial see <A HREF="http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/WvDial.htm"><A HREF="http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/WvDial.htm</A">http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/WvDial.htm</A</A>> youll first need to start yast and install gpp which is a C++ compiler its in the development section of packages. Then get the source for WvDial and simply follow the read me 2) use the command /etc/suseppp/scripts/ppp-up generic however using this youll posibly need to adjust your /etc/suseppp/generic.options file something like this /dev/modem change to /dev/ttyS? where ? is the # of the modem /etc/suseppp/generic.options /dev/ttyS0 19200 crtscts lock name "my username" noipdefault defaultroute debug ================================= also check and possibly try this script /etc/suseppp/generic.chat TIMEOUT 60 ABORT "NO CARRIER" ABORT BUSY ABORT "NO DIALTONE" ABORT ERROR "" +++\dATZ OK ATDTyourispsphone# CONNECT ------------------------------------------------------ /etc/ppp/pap-secrets # client server secret ip address yourusername * yourpassword ----------------------------------------------------- that should get you going rob Bookmarks <A HREF="http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm"><A HREF="http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm</A">http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm</A</A>> - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
