Re: The PPP negotiation failed, coz serial loopback was detected

Thanx guys.

192.168.0.1 is the other PC here (I'm on an XP network). I'm 192.168.0.2 on
an XP network.

I use it when the other PC connects to the net to get this PC on the net
thru the network.

And both PCs here have modems and both can dialup .

ok in pap-secrets, I'll delete the "'s as theyre before the
username and pw.

Ubuntu is on a separate hdd, (not on a partition of the hdd that XP is on),
Its got its own 20 GB hdd.

And this is wrong. You are saying that the Internet is reachable by

Looks like an installer misfeature inherited from Debian. It asks you if
you have a LAN and if you say yes makes it the default route.

Can you submit a bug report on that? I've been bitching about this kind
of error since 1996 with Red Hat 2.1 which pulled the same dumb stunt. In
their case, they made the "last" usable network address the default
gateway, and the "first" usable address as the DNS server. I asked Donnie
Barnes why this was chosen - that wasn't even close to the arrangement
they had on their own network. "Just trying to be helpful, and we _do_
ask the user if the numbers are OK". The average new user wouldn't know
right from wrong, or what they want. The average user wants fries with
that, if prompted.

Second line, I don't know, as I'm not using Ubuntu. I'd look in the
/etc/
directory, and one or two levels below, and see if some file has the
word
'LinkLocal' or 'ZeroConf'.

Just remove the zeroconf package with ¨apt-get remove zeroconf¨ or
similar. One of the Gnome packages drags it in for no good reason.

Might that be the avahi crap? Absolutely great security hole. At least
when Stuart Cheshire was proposing this brainless idea (google for
draft-cheshire-dnsext-multicastdns-06.txt), he did mention a tiny
little problem in the Security section - something about getting 0wn3d
because of a 'search' term in /etc/resolv.conf. To bad that the
competing (and incompatible) concept from microsoft (google for
draft-ietf-dnsext-mdns-47.txt.gz or the adopted version as RFC4795
which is INFORMATIONAL, not some form of STANDARD)) decided it knew a
better way to create a security hole - not needing a 'search' term.
