pppd keeps terminating connection
Hi,
I have recently compiled kernel 2.6.11.11 and now it works fine exept that I have a problem with the ppp daemon. I can connect to the internet with my modem but after a few minutes it disconnects. The log says: Quote:
I found a config file called /etc/ppp/options where there were these lines: Quote:
Note that I am using suse 9.1 and smpppd - SuSE Meta PPP Daemon. Can anybody please tell me what is wrong and how can I fix it? |
that's probably because the idle time it displayed was a default value that is still effective when the parameter is not given. I wouldn't know, but I might try setting a value in that field that is larger than any given session you may establish.

Thanks for replying but I think I' ve just solved the problem.
During boot I noticed this message: Starting Firewall Initialization (phase 3 of 3) It's not possible to reject outgoing packets. Expect Timeouts. ip6tables: No chain/target/match by that name ip6tables: No chain/target/match by that name ip6tables: No chain/target/match by that name so I disabled Suse firewall and installed another one. Since then (30 minutes ago), I have not experienced this problem again. |
Wrong guess.
It still has this problem. I don't know how to solve it. Any ideas? I tried to set idle 600000 and uncomment the line but didn't work. |
Just set the idle time to 0 to disable it. It said so in my installation!
60000 is probably so high that it wraps or defaults to something |
Hhahaha but I take it you figured that out in the last 2 years
|
Oh it is the date you registered, not the post date.
How stupid is this interface? Who cares when you registered? |
add to /etc/ppp/options or in your pppd script
persist |
Last time I worked with pppd I seem to remember there already being a persist in the file, so I'd go with Ipolit on this one.
|
I' ve set both idle 0 and persist and it works.
No problems anymore. Thanks everyboody. |
