Short guide on how to run a Win9x connection with PPPD to Debian Linux
|
||
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Do not mess around with the Win9x configuration.
|
||
|
|
Do not manually configure DNS, scripts etc.
|
||
|
|
Do not switch on the terminal windows.
|
||
|
|
Accept all defaults or better leave it as it was at installation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. You need to have a getty program that supports automatic PPP protocol
|
||
|
|
detection, such as mgetty (versions >= 0.99).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note: the mgetty shipped with Debian has to be set up to enable this
|
||
|
|
behaviour - look for "AutoPPP" in the login.config configuration file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Change the "ms-dns" lines in /etc/ppp/options, and review the complete
|
||
|
|
file for things you need to do.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Make sure that your /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file is set up to allow users
|
||
|
|
mentioned in system passwords database (/etc/passwd) to establish PPP
|
||
|
|
connections using their normal password.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note: the pap-secrets file shipped with Debian pppd is set up to enable
|
||
|
|
this by default.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. On the Win9x box, in Dial-Up Networking folder, create a new connection,
|
||
|
|
and enter the phone number. Prior to connecting, enter the username and
|
||
|
|
password.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Win9x should connect to your Linux PPPD without problems and automatically
|
||
|
|
configure IP addresses, the netmask and the DNS servers. You can immediately
|
||
|
|
start Netscape, Internet Explorer or any other TCP/IP tools.
