That looks like just what I need! Thanks!
However, I've got it working on the server (modem) box, but can't connect from the networked box. I keep getting an error dialog that says:
Connection to remote server refused. Maybe smpppd is not running. Also check the server settings in the dialog "Various Settings"
I've tried every server config I can think of, and nothing seems to work.
Since I got broadband I don't even own a modem, so I can't really test if these things work, but a few things to look at: in /etc/smpppd.conf, is open-inet-socket set to yes? What is host-range set to, if anything?
also make sure that smpppd is actually running on the machine (rcsmpppd status)
On the client side, right-click on the kinternet icon in the systray, go to settings->various settings and go to the server tab, check the 'manual config' and set the ip for the server where smpppd is running.
Also make sure that there is no firewall running on the remote box that blocks the connection
Hope this helps, I have no way of checking if it does (except that I can see that it does indeed connect to the smpppd server), but the above is very close to how I got it running, way back when (praise $DEITY for the gift of broadband :)
The /etc/smpppd.conf file had open-inet-socket set to no. I changed it, restarted smpppd and it works perfectly! Thanks! -- Jim Sabatke Hire Me!! - See my resume at http://my.execpc.com/~jsabatke Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.
