According to the FAQ ... 4.7 I'm getting the message "PPP network layer died, but link did not. Probable configuration error." in my system logs. What does it mean? The PPP specification allows for the network layer to be brought up and down multiple times within a single PPP session. Normally this never happens. It is happening to you... To solve this problem you must be sure that you are not loading the bsd_comp module, and you must include the "-bsdcomp" option in your /etc/ppp/options file. I put -bsdcomp in options, but it has no effect. I also tried nobsdcomp and bsdcomp 0 as specified in the pppd 2.4 man page. Any other possible solutions for this? The situation appears on perhaps 25% of all our initial connections and is driving us nuts. -- Gary Lawrence Murphy <[email protected]> TeleDynamics Communications Inc Business Innovations Through Open Source Systems: http://www.teledyn.com "Computers are useless.
