SuSEppp and diald: automatic / manual dial in

Applies to

SuSE Linux: Versions up to (including) 5.3

Symptom:

Automatic dial in to your provider does not work.

Cause:

There are often problems if diald has been started without testing a manual (ppp-up <provider>) dial in first.

Solution:

Please deactivate diald until manual dial in has been tested successfully. Stop diald by running
        /sbin/init.d/diald stop
and switch off diald at the SuSEppp screen mask (YaST).

Note: manual dial in while diald is running will not work !

Switch on the debug setting at the SuSEppp screen mask. Save settings and have a look at the messages issued by YaST during SuSEconfig.

If you are using the settimg TERMINAL for authentication check the file /etc/suseppp/chat-secrets. It should have the same layout as /etc/ppp/pap-secrets:

# client                server          secret
"YOUR_LOGINNAME"        *               "YOUR_PASSWORT"
For details about the layout check your SuSE manual.

For the first test it is also possible to configure your access using PAP. Just copy /etc/ppp/pap-secrets to /etc/suseppp/chat-secrets and swtich on again the TERMINAL setting.

If you do not get errors and the the files to access your provider are written (check directory /etc/suseppp/ for the files <provider>.chat and <provider>.options) then you can start

        /etc/suseppp/scripts/ppp-up <provider> debug

<provider> depends on the name of your provider, eg. "generic" or "t-online".

In /var/log/messages you will see the debug statements issued during dial in. If you still have problems we will need those and /etc/rc.config for further analysis.

To set the nameserver please use YaST:

        system administration
                network configuration  
                        nameserver configuration

eg. for a T-Online access (ISP in Germany)

        domain search list:        btx.dtag.de t-online.de
        nameserver        :        194.25.2.129
