I have several clients with SCO UNIX boxes and have successfully set up inbound ppp connections that can be accessed with Windows Dial up networking, at least under Win 98 (and 95 for that matter). This is not working under Windows 2000.
Here is the setup on the SCO box. I have created an account named fveppp with shell /usr/lib/ppp/ppp. I have created an entry in /etc/ppphosts that looks like this:
*fveppp idle=10 reqtmout=3 conf=10 term=2 nak=10 mru=296 noipaddr local=pppserver remote=pppclient
In Win98, here are the basic settings that I change from the standard on the dial up-networking connection:
I force a connection at 9600 baud - This is necessary on some servers but not all.
I disable all protocols but TCP/IP.
I bring up the terminal window after dialing.
I allow the server to assign everything.
I can connect to all servers through a Win98 box this way.
When trying to make similiar settings on Win2K DUN, I am unable to get the server to assign the IP. I get an error 738, server cannot assign IP address after filling in the information on the terminal window. I did make a modification that instead of allowing the server to assign the IP, I put in the actual IP address specified above (the actual address for pppclient). I do get past that error message when I do this, but I cannot get my route set up to get past the pppclient address (i.e. I cannot see the server), and I think server assigned IP addresses should work and would rather do it that way.
Does anybody know what is different in the two DUN setups that is effecting my connectivity?
