-
- ALL providers in this area are PPP only. I live in a IBM only world.
-
- The configure doc's for PPP say that for dynamic, the MTU must be '0'
- this is not a option in 4.3.
-
- Once I have established contact and have been authorized entry by my pass
- word the server starts the ppp configuration data. No questions or responses
- needed, required or accepted.
-
- When I use the 4.3 dialer it dials hooks up and turns on PPP, turns off PPP,
- of course by this time my server has tried to establish the PPP conection
- but can not because PPP is offline. I can not get it back on line!!!!
- This crashes the system and I must reboot.
-
- When I used the old Startnet and config's my system asks the server for
- "Querying the name service for your host name". At this point the Amitcp/IP
- startup window is still up, but if you close it you are really on line.
- Once in a while when starting Amitcp4.3 (old startnet) I get a message "Could
- not find a valid key file", and the above request, it however it continues
- to start-up and runs. It took about 4 hours to figure out that it was really
- on line.
-
- After a day of switching through all of the configure options this is
- where I was at.
