Hi guys,
I'm sure someone here can help me. I'm running a NetBSD box with Apache
web server, mgetty and pppd. I can dial into the box and make a ppp
conection just fine. I can telnet, rlogin, ftp and just about anything
you can think of accross the ppp link. Only problem is, I can't access
html pages with a browser over the ppp link. It serves the pages up fine
through the ln0 (ethernet) interface but not through ppp0.
If I telnet over the ppp link to port 80 and issue a GET for an html
page, that works but when I use the browser, it just hangs with "Host
contacted. Waiting for reply..."
When I look in Apache's access_log, it shows that the page I requested
was serviced successfully.
When I use tcpdump and monitor ppp0, I can see a few www packets but
then they stop.
Like I say, everything else works fine accross the ppp link.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
