Fedora 6 problems

Hi,
1) The how to do says use yum for downloading the required pptp sources in case you require the pptp services. There is a main problem in case you require pptp to get access to the internet services like on ADSL in Austria and you do NOT have an internet connection. So yum cannot access the http driven pages. What else to use in this case? 2) If have sucessfully installed pptp on Fedora 6 and I can start the pptp services having a pppd0 connection using ifconfig but I do not suceed with any IP adress outside my local scope and the known adresses like 10.0.0.138 etc. which means I do not have a connection to the provider Telekom. I have set up chap containing my username and password. How to proceed as best? Thanks a lot! Johann -- Ist Ihr Browser Vista-kompatibel?

I guess what you need is a way to download manually (e.g. from a Windows box) the packages needed to bootstrap your Internet connection. Although you only actually need pptp for this (which is available in Fedora Extras), you need to know how to set things up at a lower level than you do if you are using pptpconfig. So, if you want pptpconfig, download and install the following packages: From Fedora Extras: ORBit glib gnome-libs gtk+ imlib libglade libpng10 libxml pptp From PPTP Repository (http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/yum/stable/fc6/): php4-pcntl php4-pcntl-gtk pptpconfig Paul. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.

Had you used pptpconfig, you could ask to route everything to the tunnel. Otherwise you must add appropriate routes manually. If you plan to replace the default route, first add a host route to the PPTP server, otherwise you will experience a routing loop. -- James Cameron http://quozl.netrek.org/ HP Open Source, Volunteer http://opensource.hp.com/ PPTP Client Project, Release Engineer http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.

Hi.
thank you Paul and James. This email runs already via Mozilla on Fedora 6. I installed your listed module via rpm, deleted all my temporary files in /etc/ppp ... and ran pptpconfig and I was there ... Before I leave the forum my last question I am using a wireless D-Link to my router using a rt25usb driver. Placing the initiation upon linux startup will not initiate correctly. Are there any sugested procedures? Johann -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Datum: Tue, 27 Feb 2007 10:18:25 +1100 Von: James Cameron <james.cameron@...> An: pptpclient-devel@...

Three methods that may help with designing a procedure: 1. have the script that starts the tunnel retry if it fails, using shell logic such as "until pon tunnel updetach; do sleep 2; done", 2. have the script check that the internet is accessible before it starts, using whatever means works in the circumstances, such as ifconfig, grep /etc/resolv.conf, or ping. For example: "until ping -c 1 10.0.0.138; do sleep 1; done; pon tunnel updetach", 3. have the script executed by post-up scripts owned by the network interface that is needed, so that once the system has finished raising this network interface the tunnel is started. On Debian or Ubuntu, this means adding an "up" script in /etc/network/interfaces, but I don't know exactly how to do it on Fedora. Look for if-up.local. -- James Cameron http://quozl.netrek.org/ HP Open Source, Volunteer http://opensource.hp.com/ PPTP Client Project, Release Engineer http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
