- Hello,
-
- Before you jump down on me about getting the new PPP version, I
- all ready have. I even sent away my reg. two weeks ago.
-
- My situation is the fact that I'm going to connect to a new
- Internet Service Provider in a few days time, and they are running the
- local hub on a NT platform. Now I have got PPP1.44(unreg) working so I
- can dial into their modem pool(7!!) and I can even check out their WEB
- page. You might ask what wrong with this? Well even though the actuall
- location of the hub is only 5 minutes walking distance(and is a local
- call) the next nearst hub/ISP is STD. Which is the reason I am changing
- over to the local one.
-
- Now the problem is that the person setting it up has NO experience
- with NT as a network platform, has no experience of the internet
- systems/ports/tcpip other than a occasionial user. He is a hardware
- person, as he sells PC-boxs to order. And I cant seem to get through to
- him that he might need some experienced person(s) to configure it properly
- for him.
-
- The other thing is, this is for all the people out there using the
- PPP(nt version) and Amitcp4.0, When you enter the commands: 'hostname'
- and 'askhost $ppp0iplocal' do you get or are you ment to get anything
- back. Because currently I dont get anything back, this simply might be
- becase he hasn't setup a DNS server/router, but hostname should still
- return something. ie the dynamicly assigned name for the modem I dialed
- in on.?
-
- Please help, as if I cant get this going soon on my Amiga, I might just
- have to start using a PC to hop on the local ISP, And so far there are 35
- users registered and we have a 64K ISDN line.
