ppp problem with LCP timeout

Hi All,

Picking up from my previous message about hardware installation.

I’m still struggling to try and get RTP to connect to my ISP

I’m using a hardware modem on ser1, the modem dials OK and connects to my
dial in ISP, the terminal window shows that pppd is started then after about
30 secs the connection is terminated following ‘:LCP: timeout sending
Config-Requests’

I’ve tried leaving the line speed box blank, using DHCP as well as giving it
an 10… IP address, using PAP/CHAP as well as Interactive login, a couple
of different ISPs, but each time it has the same result.

I’ve run phdialer -d to write a SYSLOG file and this is what was logged.

Jun 06 01:08:28 nto pppd[794661-1]: Exit.

The main need for getting the connection working is to allow package manager
to connect to the WWW repository to get Patch B, I’ve tried downloading the
tucows copy through windows but when package manager tries to install it
there appears to be a couple of files missing that it needs.

Any help with this would be much appreciated,

Thanks, Davie…

The log suggest that your pppd keeps on sending data out, but no incoming
data. (except “sent [LCP …”, you should also see “recv …”)

Leaving speed box blank is a good idea. I don’t see DHCP have anything to
do here.

Now ths ISPs you’ve tried, do they need special arrange to start ppp?
(some ISP need you push ‘p’, ‘1’ or sth after dial in to start ppp).
Or, in other words, have you benn connect the ISP with your windows machine?
Do you need special “script” to connect in? If you try “Interactive login”,
anything come to the terminal?

I would expect PAP/CHAP works for most ISP since that’s the default
on MS Windows. But your problem is more earlier, you don’t even go into the
PAP/CHAP pharse.

Other thing you can try is use the “chat” or “qtalk” + pppd, that is to
avoid if you have funny setting in phdialer and effect to pppd.

Hi,

I can connect to both the ISPs that I tried using Windows with no problems,
there is no special script used as far as I know.

I tried dialling both ISPs using qtalk, the modem dials and connects OK but
there are no promts or messages recieved, then after a few seconds the
terminal window starts displaying lots of random characters, mainly symbols,
shortly after this the connection is reset.

I didn’t manage to get pppd working with either qtalk or chat, I think the
problem is I don’t know too much about creating the script or dialling
entries.

If I try using the interactive login with phdialer nothing is displayed in
the interactive terminal box initially and then there is the random
characters thing that I described above.

Thanks for your help

Not to sound evil… But I’m having a similar problem and it works fine in
windows. No strange scripting… Only slightly interesting thing in mine is
that my provider (MSN) suggests that the box for Enable LCP extensions be
disabled in the windows dialup settings. Is this also the case…
Either way. I wonder if theres a way we could have a detailed log of windows
connecting to submit to QNX…
