Hi all. Got my FreeBSD server up and running purty good now, but having a prob accomadating the Ms. Windows users... I can connect using pap fine from my 2.2.7 box to my 2.2.7 server via modem, using the newest user-ppp from www.awfulhak.org (which works great :) The one that came with the realease was extremely broken.) Using mgetty, works fine.. now the problem. Whenever I try to connect using a Win95 or WinNT DUN adapter, it goes no farther than the "Verifying username/password" (a quick look in the /var/log/ppp.log confirms that it HAS already gotten past PAP, and is in the process of negotiating a connection between 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.0.1 (!?!?) ) I have the setup 'zactly the same as for the BSD dialin, which could very well be the prob.. it's basically ppp.conf --- papcuaa0: enable pap set ifaddr x.x.x.x. 10.2.5.1 255.255.255.255 --- (regarding the 10.2.5.1; I use natd) also appropriate username/pw combos in ppp.secret Connections have successfuly been made using the after-dial terminal, so this problem seems to be mgetty/PAP related.. The Win side has nothing but the DNS set (haven't tried the auto-DNS stuff yet; wanna get this working first.) But on the good side, besides that everything works great! 'specially since I upgraded ppp, the old one was sooo broken :) I got wine to compile, (much better than I expected) ... seems all the probs I had with it came from not including all the SYSV options that can be found in LINT ... I also installed Luigi Rizzo's sound driver in order to get the linux real player 5.0 working; works wonderfully as well.. Anyway, I am firmly rooted in BSD; but I guess my Win friends aren't happy enuff with wine's (alpha) stability to switch quit yet ;-) Any suggestions - please email to frumpler@hotmail.com since I don't currently subscribe to the mailing list :/ Thnks! -form ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
