dialup networking from win98se

Hi folks

I have this old ibm thinkpad, no eth, cd, floppy, you get the picture? However it does have a serial port.

I have setup ubuntu lucid with ppp, and can login to linux from hyperterminal. Via a null-modem cable.

But what I don't seem to beable todo, is "ring" linux from win98se's dialup networking thingy. Like we used todo when we had dialup isp.

It apprently tries, but won't connect.

Where are the logs please? The win98se ones would be great too!

Any ideas?

So you have a modem on each system and a POTS phone line connecting then two? Is that where you want to "ring"?

I believe the OP wants to configure a PPP connection over a NULL MODEM cable. There are various howtos but no experience with actually trying to get it to work.

No. Its a null modem wire between win98 and linux.

With hyperterm -> linux this works fine

What I want is win98 dun -> linux to achive a internet connecton, poss even local lan connection on win98

Yes, Look at the last link. I believe all you need to do is configure the ppprc file since you have already setup ppp

what you need on the linux end is pppd (which should already be installed, but in need of configuring) and mgetty or perhaps agetty will work (if over a null modem) for authentication.
pppd is the daemon (server) end of a ppp connection

once you have the connection established you can then create a nat using iptables

i've done this sort of thing before with a null modem and 2 linux machines (one was a laptop) with no lan card

Code:

In /home/pppuser put a file named .ppprc with contents:-



connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v ATH OK AT OK ATE0V1 OK ATX3 OK ATDT CONNECT' 

-detach  

crtscts 

lock 

:10.0.0.10

Ok still dun won't work on win98se, but I tried with hyperterminal this time it tries to connect, appers to do so then reports

Code:

/usr/sbin/pppd: invalid numeric par

Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS tux-desktop ttyS0



...Login:

screwed up /etc/options file fixed the above error, but still no connect.

Also found an access to the win98 logs. it seems to get confused when ubuntu sends its Ubuntu 10.04 .... string.

I still can't find the log files on either end :(

I found this! http://howto.gumph.org/content/xp-di...able-to-linux/

Could one of you kindly tell me where to his command line options so it does it automaticly

I will be sometime! Going to copy xp over to it. I might say sodit, a park puppy on it!
