FC4: Failed to activate ppp0 with error 8 or 6


It seems that there is a configuration problem here with the device ppp0. In "Network Device Control", when trying to activate ppp0 I get the error message:

"Failed to activate ppp0 with error 8"

when offline, and

"Failed to activate ppp0 with error 6"

when online.

I have an external serial modem, and I can connect with KPPP, but the firewall Firestarter does seem to have a conflict with this ppp0 issue. Eg. an error message like:

"Starting the Firestarter: ppp0: error fetching
interface information"

on boot.

What could be the problem? How to solve it?

Regards, Alejandro

"Failed to activate ppp0 with error 2"

on boot,

"Failed to activate ppp0 with error 8"

from /sbin/ifup ppp0, when connection is off, and

"Failed to activate ppp0 with error 6"

when conection is on.
