Hello,
I'm trying to use pptpd 1.0.0 with ppp-2.3.10 but when I have a win98 box
trying to connect on the pptpd server, I get two errors (which may be
related ?):
In syslog, I see I have a "modprobe: can't locate module char-major-108".
Looking in the /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Device.txt, I see that
char-major-108 corresponds to "Device independent PPP interface", /dev/ppp.
I don't have /dev/ppp, but I have the ppp module correctly loaded in
memory:
root at home /dev]# lsmod
Module Size Used by
ppp 20012 1 (autoclean)
slhc 4328 0 (autoclean) [ppp]
The second error (and the one that stops the win98 from connecting, is a
"ICMP message type destination unreachable - bad protocol from 210.27.15.119 (210.27.15.119->62.20.91.232)", where 62.20.91.232 is my pptpd server.
Are the two errors related ? What are the required kernel modules options
that need to be compiled to make pptpd work correctly ? (I'm using a 2.2.12
kernel).
Thanks,
Luc
