I'm having one of those frustrating modem-configuration evenings :-( Trying to install 2.2.5R via PPP and FTP using a Bitsurfer Pro. I can get the modem to connect to my ISP (or at least get a 'CONNECT 115200' message from PPP and the modem lights indicate a connection), but when I tell the install program to go ahead, I get a "cannot resolve hostname...." error. My ISP uses PAP, so I am manually doing the following at the PPP cli: set authname xxxxxx set authkey xxxxxx enable pap accept pap I have also noticed that the install program doesn't seem to be setting the netmask properly in ppp (according to 'show ipcp'), so I have tried also doing: set ifaddr x.x.x.x/30 y.y.y.y/30 add 0 0 y.y.y.y The results are the same (i.e. connected, but no traffic). Using the show ipcp, show lcp, show proto commands all seem to indicate that absolutely no packets are being successfully passed. Is this a problem with ISDN and the setup program only? The mail archives seem to indicate that some people are using the Bitsurfer Pro successfully. If anyone has any suggestions or creative ideas, I would love to hear them :). Please copy me directly, as I am no longer subscribed to this list. Thanks in advance, Neil Jensen PS - I should point out that I can succesfully use the ISDN modem on one of my NT machines, so I'm pretty confident that I am using the correct gateway, DNS, address settings.
