Topic: PPP Problem

[Mike]

Hi,

I'm having trouble connecting to my ISP with e-smith.
Grepping ppp in /var/log/messages yields the following errors:
Can't locate module ppp-compress-21
Can't locate module ppp-compress-24
Can't locate module ppp-compress-26

It seems to connect and reports the number of bytes sent
each direction, but disconnects after about a minute without
completely establishing the connection.

Any suggestions about how to solve this problem?

Thanks!

Those messages might be harmless. If you add this to /etc/conf.modules then they will go away:

alias ppp-compress-21 off
alias ppp-compress-24 off
alias ppp-compress-26 off

You'll need to tell us more from your log files to help us to diagnose the problem. There'll be something else there.
