Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 7.2
This article refers to an older version of SuSE Linux. Therefore some of the informations given in this article may be outdated or the article may contain stale links.

Kernel: Version 2.2.19

Symptom

The connection fails when you use DSL access with dial on demand in SuSE Linux 7.2, Kernel 2.2.19.

Cause

The cause is an error in the ppp package.

Solution

Try to dial-up without using dial on demand. This can be done by changing the entry
demand=yes
to
demand=no
in the file
/etc/pppoed.conf

You can also download a new ppp package for the Kernel 2.2.19 from our ftp server or, even better, from one of its mirrors.

ppp-2.4.0-76.i386.rpm

Please note that your system has been optimized for operation with the proven Kernel 2.4.4. The use of an older kernel version (such as 2.2.19) may cause other problems in the system. Please note that you are not entitled to our installation support service should this be the case.
