I've installed Gentoo yesterday, and it feels very good  . However, the script I used to connect to my ISP (to which I must authorize via pptp) in Mandrake 10.0 doesn't work anymore (this happens to me every time I change my Linux distro  ). I get ppp0, but can't ping anything. The DNS nameservers are fine (it won't ping ips, too, after it got ppp0). So here's a lot of info (may be useless, but you never know...):
I'm using this script to connect:
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
USERNAME="tfk"
IFACE="eth0"
PPTPS=pns.inter.net.il
#ifdown $IFACE
#ifup $IFACE
NVGW=213.8.8.112
#$(host $PPTPS | cut -d" " -f4 | cut -f3 | tail -1)
CABLEGW=172.25.201.249
#$(ip r l | grep default | cut -d" " -f3)
route add -host $NVGW gw $CABLEGW dev $IFACE
./pptp $NVGW debug user $USERNAME mtu 1380 mru 1380 defaultroute nopersist nobsdcomp usepeerdns noauth
sleep 7
NEWGW=$(ifconfig ppp0 | grep inet | cut -d":" -f3 | tail -1 | cut -d" " -f1)
route add default gw $NEWGW
route del default gw $CABLEGW
echo nameserver 192.116.202.222 > /etc/resolv.conf
|
The script used to utilize host and ip originally, but these tools are missing from the current installation I have. I'm pretty sure the numerical values are correct, though. (I don't know in which package ip and host reside anyway.) ifup and ifdown are commented out for the same reason, but manually running/killing dhcpcd does the same thing, I think. The script uses it's own pptp ("emerge pptp" doesn't work), but it worked fine.
Also, the script outpus this (it didn't in Mandrake):
| Code: | | SIOCDELRT: No such process |
No idea what it means :-/
Relevant ifconfig lines before the connection:
| Code: |
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0B:06:56:BE:AB
inet addr:172.25.201.249 Bcast:255.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.224.0
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
|
route output before connection:
| Code: | Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
172.25.192.0 * 255.255.224.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
loopback localhost 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 lo
default 172.25.192.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 |
Relevant ifconfig lines after connection:
| Code: | ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:80.230.141.17 P-t-P:213.8.255.81 Mask:255.255.255.255 |

/var/log/messages is littered with messages of this sort (but nothing else of interest):
| Code: | Jul 4 14:24:57 kbox pppd[9794]: rcvd [LCP EchoReq id=0x2 magic=0xe6b983db c0 74 ca de]
Jul 4 14:24:57 kbox pppd[9794]: sent [LCP EchoRep id=0x2 magic=0x25bb770e c0 74 ca de] |
Thanks in advance!  |

| Well, I certainly feel very, very silly now. Apparently, my numeric values have been wrong indeed. I've adopted some elements from an older script that used to work once upon a time, and now it works. Thanks and sorry for the spam ^_^;; |
