Hi all; I have RedHat 6.2, a nic, a fax/modem, networked to a win95 box on and off. Trying to set the rh box as a dialin server (using mgetty) and trying to dialin with a mac performa 580. The /var/log/ppp shows that the mac connects and logs in, but then it says it can not determine the local ip. rh box set up hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.1 sgtech.localdomain sgtech 192.168.1.2 lgtech # the local lan client win95 192.168.1.25 rgtech # the remote computer options.srv oauth lock modem crtscts proxyarp asyncmap 0 192.168.1.1:192.168.1.25 login pap-secrets user1 192.168.1.1 "" 192.168.1.25 user2 192.168.1.1 "" 192.168.1.25 The macs hosts file is 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.1 sgtech 192.168.1.25 rgtech # the remote computer

This should be options.ttySx (replace x with the port number).

Syntax error. The IP address of the local system (i.e., the host
computer's IP address) comes last. It should be
192.168.1.25:192.168.1.1
if you want the calling party to receive the 192.168.1.25 address.

Argh. Yes, that's correct. I forgot that I renumbered
my dialup interfaces lately.
