Re: Problem connecting with ADSL





Hi,
Thanks for your email. My ADSL on Linux is now working.

A few comments and answers:

1) I got it to work by recompiling pppd without the MSCHAP80 stuff.
   apprently compiling this in causes it use chap instead of pap.
   The -DUSE_CRYPT comes from the README.MSCHAP80 where they
   discuss Linux users in the pppd documentation.

  I think the faq should indicate that Actcom uses pap;
  a list of what each ISV uses might save people time.

2) I also tried using the pppd option require-pap but with the above
   MSCHAP80 compiled out it does not seem to matter.

3) I could not get nodefaultip to work but sine it works for me...

4) MTU and MRU have to be 1425 only for Orckit. I have an Alcatel
   and 1500 seems to work fine.

5) The idea of using two lines in the pap-secrets , I got it from
   some faq on the internet. Somebody out there said it worked for
   him. When you are "desperate" in the middle of the night
   anything goes.
   I have removed it since it does not seem to do anything.

6) There seems to be a socket /var/run/ppt/10.0.0.138 created
   by pptp. I found out that under certain conditions if I do not
   rm it I cannot restart pptp again.

7) Using username@IActcom ,
   Well you are correct about this one.
   However I think the Faq could use
   a little editing on line 191 it says:

   "<username>@I<ISP>" "10.0.0.138 RELAY_PPP1" "<your password>"

   But on line 200 it says:

pptp 10.0.0.138 debug user xxx@ISP remotename "10.0.0.138 RELAY_PPP1"

I experimented with different possibilites but without the chap
nothing works.

Also on line 132 in the (winodws stuff ) it says:

username is username@IActcom. 'username' is obviously your actcom user
I suppose line 200 should be fixed.

And last but not least thank you very much Guy for responding.
I was half way through reading the 50 pages of rfc1661 (ppp) when
your email saved me a lot of time.
