I bought a used PM2e and am trying to configure it for the first time.
I have PMconsole working and Radius working, but my PM will not
authenticate users even via the internal users table.
I have followed the setup examples found on the Livingston website, and
have played trial and error with every parameter I can think of. My
win95 DUN client always returns an error of "DUN cound not negociate a
compatible set of network protocols..." The client has only TCP/IP
enabled.
I'm not interested in getting the IP connection to the client via
Radius. I'm trying to use the PM's internal users table. (Although
when I do try with RadusNT running I can see that Radius never receives
an authentication request (There is ethernet activity though)).
If anyone can think of a probable cause to the problem I'm having I'd
appreciate any thoughts.
Here are my suspicions (go easy I'm new to Portmasters)
- Do I need to set a default host? I have a Linux box which I can
create users on, but I thought that Radius would eliminate this
necessity.
- What type of Port Type (Login?, Network/Login?) do I want for a PM
users table authentication? (When I switch to Radius authentication?)
- What type of Login Service (Telnet, Rlogin, Portmaster) do I want for
a PM users table authentication?
- Do I need to go through this configuring of the modems bit. (This is
about the only parameter I ahve played with) I see that the modem is
initialized with ATZ. The modems seem to do their job fine - Connect
echange packets, etc...
- I can see that the win95 client is receiving a prompt from the PM. I
looks like garbage characters though. I assume this is the Login prompt
with some type of encryption?
That is it. What is wrong?
Thanks
