ppp connected, but no IP, DNS, GW

Hello,

I've got RedHat 9 (2.4.20-8 kernel) on a ThinkPad T40.
I am trying to get the modem to work. It is a Wintel modem (Agere),
but Agere and/or IBM provide the driver for it, which I have
installed.

The machine identifies the modem and is able to connect to my ISP,
start pppd, but the connection is only half-made - no DHCP information
is set:
- no IP
- no Gateway
- no name servers

`route -n` and `ifconfig` show only 'lo' interface.

How do I get my IP, name servers, and the gateway to get set?

I have dialed up using these methods:
- ifup ppp0
- wvdialer <my setting name here>
- redhat-config-network (by trying to activate the ppp0 device from
there)

Any help would be veeery muuuuch appreciated!
Thank you.

Hmmm. A winmodem. Good luck!

DHCP is not involved in normal PPP usage, be it a regular landline PPP
connection or a PPPoE connection.

Then the PPP link was never established.

We need more information to find why the PPP link wasn't established
and provide answers.

1) Generate a detailed pppd/<chat or dialing frontend> log file:

echo 'daemon.*;local2.* /var/log/ppp.log' >> /etc/syslog.conf
killall -HUP syslogd
echo debug >> /etc/ppp/options

Run whatever (script, kppp, wvdial, ect.) to start pppd and/or chat.
Configure chat with the -v option for the script. Configure a pppd
dialing frontend (kppp, wvdial, ect.) for maximum verbosity and hope
the messages are sent to ppp.log .

2) Post an exact copy of the messages in ppp.log (not hand-copied).

3) Clean up when done:

rm /var/log/ppp.log
sed '$d' /etc/syslog.conf > foo; mv foo /etc/syslog.conf
killall -HUP syslogd
sed '$d' /etc/ppp/options > foo; mv foo /etc/ppp/options

Remove the chat "-v", or reconfigure the dialing frontend, to stop
verbose logging (which may be sent to other system log files).

Note: All the changes to /etc/syslog.conf and /etc/ppp/options could
also be done by simply using an editor rather than the echo, sed, and
mv utilities. Making file changes by first creating foo as shown above
assumes that root's umask is 022.

Hello,

Thank you for the detailed instructions, here is some more
information.

If I start the dial up with `wvdial <config name>` I get this in the
console:

[root@localhost modem]# wvdial HTppp
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.53
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
ATZ

Username:
--> Carrier detected. Starting PPP immediately.
--> Starting pppd at Sun Apr 11 14:10:56 2004
--> pid of pppd: 5283


Note the lines with '<============'. Those indicate that my modem IS
talking to my ISP, because 'HiNet, HT d.d.' is the name of the ISP,
and I did not enter that name anywhere. This must be coming from the
remote dial-in server.

In /var/log/ppp.log I get only this:

Apr 11 14:10:56 localhost pppd[5283]: pppd 2.4.1 started by root, uid
0

Here are some of the relevant configs from my ifcfg-HTppp file:

BOOTPROTO=dhcp <==== is this wrong? what should I set it to?
ONBOOT=no
CCP=off
PC=off
AC=off
BSDCOMP=off
VJ=off
VJCCOMP=off
LINESPEED=57600
MODEMPORT=/dev/modem
DEMAND=no
DEFROUTE=yes <==== is this wrong? that should set the
routes, no?
PERSIST=no
PAPNAME=samofix


There are no errors in any of the logs.
However, when wvdial connects to the remove dial-in server, there are
also no routes set, no IP for my computer, and no DNS servers.


Then I tried using `ifup-ppp0` and I got this in the ppp.log:

pr 11 14:37:23 localhost ifup-ppp: pppd started for ppp0 on /dev/modem

So it looks like the modem connected, and then something blew up and
killed pppd.
In the /var/log/messages.log I saw this:

This also shows that the modem first connected, and then something in
pppd and/or kernel blew up. I see that the ppp-related kernel modules
are mentioned.

These are the modules that I loaded with modprobe ppp_generic.o (I
think that is the module I loaded, but I'm not 100% certain now..
maybe it was ppp_deflate):

ppp_deflate 4504 0 (unused)
zlib_deflate 21368 0 [ppp_deflate]
ppp_generic 24444 0 [ppp_deflate]
slhc 6740 0 [ppp_generic]

Am I missing a module that is required for ppp to work?


Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you.

ATZ is an iffy way of initializing a (real) modem. Usually ATZ&F
is better.

If this M3 is the same as described in my old modem manual then it turns
off the modem's speaker unless a call is being answered. Is that what
you want? Here M0 turns off the speaker altogether, M1 turns it on only
during negotiation by a call out, and M2 turns on the speaker only while
answering.

Correct. And a connect speed of 52000 is great (assuming the winmodem
reports the connect speed correctly)!

There should be a lot more unless pppd died immediately.

It is probably wrong unless you need DHCP for something other than
the PPP connection; PPP doesn't use DHCP.

If this means what I think then 115200 would be better (at least with
a real modem).

If it means what I think it does then it's correct.

So PPP didn't come up for IP.

So pppd did die (almost) immediately.

Correct. Pppd couldn't set some attribute of the modem's device file
(the "tty") to the PPP line discipline, so it exited.

Correct. You almost certainly don't need ppp_deflate or zlib_deflate
unless the peer is a *nix host, and even then it's not likely they would
be needed for an ISP connection.

Yes, there should be a ppp_async, unless that's compiled directly into
the kernel. I believe there is a very high probability that it's absence
is causing the problem.

I agree that ATZ is not good, and that your suggestion will work.
However the &F will cancel out anything the Z does. &F is factory
defaults ( and use &F1 for Sportster modems as &F uses software flow
control.)
Thus AT&F would be "better" in the sense of being a shorter
sentence to accomplish the same thing.
The reason ATz is iffy is because ATZ sets the modem to whatever
attributes it had when some unknown person or program issued a save
settings command-- Ie you have no idea what atz sets the modem to.

Of course what a winmodem does with either of these is pretty uncertain.

AIUI, it won't quite cancel all ATZ does. In addition to setting a
preset user (which for some modems is not user settable) profile,
it's supposed to "clear the serial port buffers."

Indeed so.

I actually have installed the smartlink modem drivers for my T41 and
it is working great. I tested it with KPPP. You can get the drivers
here:

ftp://ftp.smlink.com/linux/unsupported/

My installation and modem usage can be found here:
