Dial up connections on Suse 10.0

[Hibyte]

I'm not sure if this is the right section for this, so forgive me if its in the wrong place. (i'm all new to this site and Suse.)

I have managed to install Suse 10.0 and my machine dual boots very nicely, the only thing is that i cant connect to the net using Suse.

i keep geeting an error likek this in the log file.

trying to connect: smpppd
connecting to smpppd
Status: Dis connected
Status: connecting
Status: Dis connected

pppd[0] died. pppd options error (Exit Code 2)

If anyone could help me through this i would greatly appreiciate it.

Try this first:

In the file '/etc/ppp/options' there should be a line something like:

/dev/modem 57600

Instead of 'modem', it could possibly be something like 'ttySxx', where 'xx' is a number.

If you cannot find either of these, can you post the output of the command (as root)?:

grep -v "^#" /etc/ppp/options | grep -v '^$'

If it is 'modem', make sure there is a soft link '/dev/modem' pointing to the actual modem device.

If you don't know the actual modem device, issue this command:

/usr/sbin/hwinfo --modem

and post the output, or look for a 'Device File:' line.

If all of this checks out, post back and we'll keep going...
