I'm trying to setup PPP on Redhat Linux 4.2. I get the following message<br />
in my syslog &quot;connect script failed&quot;. Also I'm not able to see the ppp<br />
interface using 'ifconfig' command without any option. If I use it with<br />
ppp0 option which is the name of my ppp interface I get the following<br />
data :<br />
<br />
ppp0 &nbsp; &nbsp; Link encap:Point-Point Protocol<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;inet addr:0.0.0.0 &nbsp;P-t-P:0.0.0.0 Mask:0.0.0.0<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;UP POINTOPOINT &nbsp;MTU:1500 &nbsp;Metric:1<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0<br />
When I boot it says PPP is registered and I'm running pppd. I also<br />
specified the ip addresses. I'm new to ppp. If anybody knows anyhitng<br />
please help<br />
