All of this works fine on 2.0.36 with similar kernel config options.
I've installed kernel 2.2.1 and it boots just fine. My local network (on 192.168.1.0) works great.
But TCP doesn't seem to function over the PPP interface. I can ping and traceroute hosts all over the place without a problem but if I try to telnet to a host the connection hangs after "Escape character is '^]'." Ftp exhibits just about the same behavior. Netstat reports established connections and ifconfig shows incoming and outgoing packets with no errors. When telnet is killed, netstat shows a fin_wait1 like forever. Since I can't get online properly I haven't been able to test incoming connections.
My kernel is monolithic except for bsd_comp.o and ppp_deflate.o and syslog shows that they're registering ok when the ppp connection is established. I enabled very few "frills" like firewalling and masquerading and stuff hoping that maybe that would solve the problem but alas...
All of my packages are >= the recommended version in Documentation/Changes. Base system is Redhat 5.2 in a Cyrix 6x86MX200 or something like that. USR external on ttyS1. eth0 is an ISA NE2k.
I know I must be leaving out some necessary info but can anyone give me any clues as to what I'm doing wrong? Or at least tell me what more you would need to know about my setup.
TIA
