I have a problem which I have not been able to find an answer for, and it has me extremely perplexed.

I am currently using FreeBSD 5.3 and 6.0 to maintain a DSL connection for each of the offices I maintain. The connection is established using ppp.

So I can access the network when the DSL connection is down, and so the phone vendor can access the phone system, I am trying to add a dialup connection to the server.

I have modified /etc/ttys to listen for a connection. I have also modified /etc/gettytab to call /usr/local/bin/ppplogin.

ppplogin contains the following.
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/ppp -direct incoming

In addition to the lines for the DSL connection, the following was added to the /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file. The DSL connection is always active.

incoming:
set device /dev/cuaa0
set ifaddr 10.129.X.Y 10.129.A.B 255.255.255.0
enable pap
enable chap
allow users *

I am dialing in using Windows XP.

When dialing in, I do not see tun1 created, and the Windows system hangs at Verifying Username and Password. Then, returns error 721.

I have set log Phase tun IPCP CPP Chat CCP command set in the default section of the /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file, but nothing is logged. This is leading me to believe the ppp connection is not being established, or recognized, when the Windows system is dialing in.

Any suggestions on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jay
