Re: Problem to set up cipe through ppp0

["Daniel Wild" <cipemails,AT,vde,DOT,uni-saarland,DOT,de>]

I've found the problem. I've searched it since last week.
My Problem the SuSE start script. (in German: SuSE ist einfach verknaupt )
It searches a route to the peer host only through the devices, which are
specified in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-xxx
All other devices are ignored by SuSE.
Now I tried to copy ifcfg-eth0 in ifcfg-ppp0 and change the subnet and IP in
ifcfg-ppp0.
And now it works. I don't know why ip-up had made problems too, maybe SuSE
has changed somthing in there too. I'll find it out.
And the SuSE start script breaks without anny logging in /etc/var/messages
or cipe.log

Thank you Christoph, your question about the routes in ip-up has waked the
right idea.
