Topic: bpalogin woes

[janst]

HI,

I have recently built a box and installed SME rel 7.1 on it.  I cannot get it to connect to the internet.  I have tried bpalogin-2.0-linux-2.4.bin found at http://bpalogin.sourceforge.net/download/bpalogin-2.0-linux-2.4.bin
and issued 'sh bpalogin-2.0-linux-2.4.bin' as well as the bpalogin- found at comnetel.
I am currently still running a SME Server 6.0.1-01 with no problems running the earlier ver of bpalogin.
I have trawled the forums for info but none has helped yet.  Oh Yes, forgot to mention a novice user though I have been running e-smith since rel 4.

Please help as the old box is on its last legs.

Thanks Lloyd,

I downloaded and installed rpm from comnetel.com/bpalogin.

I modified the /ete/bpalogin.conf file to reflect my username and password and changed the authdomain to qld.bigpond.net.au.  I left the remainder as default.

Tried it again and have had no luck.  Still get 'Network is unreachable, sleeping for 60".  
When the system boots it does pick up an IP on the external nic.  

any help appreciated

janst,
If you read carefully through the bug tracker incident there are a few things to try such as adding entries to the server manager and issuing db commands. Did you try all of these? What is the output of
# db config show bpalogin?

Hi Lloyd,

With reference to comment #4 in Bug 1522 .
A Config show bpalogin returns
bpalogin=service
UDPPort=5050
access=Public
status=enabled
Don't quite understand comment #7. Excuse my ignorance

thanks
Jan

janst,
Try this:
In bpalogin.conf make sure you only have the following entries:

Code: [Select]

username your_username
password your_password
authserver 61.9.208.13
localport 5050
comment out all other entries including authdomain, then restart bpalogin with:

Code: [Select]

/etc/rc.d/init.d/bpalogin restart
and let me know how you go.

Hi Lloyd,

Thanks very much for your help.  Got it going finally!.  No thanks to the wonderful Telstra.  Their connection was down and I was happily trying to connect.  

 

regards
Jan
