Problems using ppp (unable to set ip address)

[Matthew Adams <madams@phantomware.ca>]

Hi all:

I tried the misc list but didn't get a useful answer.  I'm hoping someone
here might have some insight into why my ppp connection is failing.

I've an entry in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf similar to the following:

myisp:
set phone 1234567
set login "ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 ogin:--ogin: ppp word: ppp"
set timeout 120
set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
add default HISADDR
enable dns

Problem is whenever I issue a command like "ppp -auto myisp" I end up
getting the following messages after the modem dials up:

ppp[11891]: tun0: Warning: iface add: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR, 66.109.67.204/24
-> 0.0.0.0): File exists
ppp[11891]: tun0: Error: ipcp_InterfaceUP: unable to set ip address

then drops the connection.

Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?  I'd be extremely
grateful for any suggestions or comments!


Thanks in advance,

Matt
