Hello, I am sure that all the RFC gurus out there are going to laugh at this, but I really can't find the official protocol number for IPCP; can anyone help me? Best regards, Manuel Arriaga PS: I tried looking in RFC 1332 but couldn't find any referrence to the protocol number; the same happened with the "RFC Protocol Index" ( http://lurch.cit.buffalo.edu/Misc/RFC/rfcproto.html ). PPS: This may sound stupid, but is IPCP already done using IP? I understand it is one of the available "Network Control Protocols" used precisely for negotiating the network-layer protocol used over a PPP link, but I am wondering whether ipchains might be blocking these packets when I use the generic ipchains -A input [-p all] -j DENY ipchains -A output [-p all] -j DENY rules before establishing a ppp link ... a ppp connection seems to be up (reported by pppd), but ifconfig only lists the local interface... Can ipchains be already blocking IPCP traffic? - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu
