tool fails to properly configure ISDN connections
Last modified: 2008-05-06 19:57:34 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-AT; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031030 Description of problem: Multiple problems. I have a HFC-2BS0 based ISDN card. It used to work fine in RedHat-8.0, was initially broken in RedHat 9, worked fine again in a later RedHat 9 update and is broken again in Fedora Core 1. The problem is probably related to the GUI setup tools. The first problem is, that I cannot reach my usual ISP. Configuration works fine, but after dialing I don't get a connection and the Network Configuration tool just gives up. BTW, the ISP in question is Freenet as configured in the German national ISP list. The second problem happens when I chose an alternative provider (Claranet). In this case everything seems to work just fine, ipppd makes a PPP connection, I get an IP address, but the Network Configuration tool just doesn't notice. Despite the fact that the connection has been established, it claims that the connection is inactive. To disconnect I have to send a TERM signal to the ipppd. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Use the Internet Connection wizard to try to setup a ISDN account that connects to either Freenet or Claranet in Germany. Actual Results: A broken ISDN configuration. Expected Results: A working ISDN configuration (just like in the later RedHat 9 release) Additional info:
worth a try: give your setup the nickname "ippp0"
I experience problem #2 with my 56K modem. It allows me to configure, and connect, but it always shows the status as "inactive". Makes disconnecting problematic. I have the GNOME modem-blinkenlight tool up, and *it* says i'm connected. I cannot disconnect from the GNOME tool, though.
