connection closed after unsuccessful ConfReq

[webograph]

i am trying to use the gprs connection of a nokia n95 smartphone via usb
and always get the phone sending TermReq when the workstation still
seems to get a valid ip address (?; i'm not completely sure what those
ipcp commands mean).

have tried most imaginable configurations of preset or automatic ip
addresses and ipcp options.

here is what happens most of the time:

PAP authentication succeeded
sent [IPCP ConfReq id=0x1 <addr 0.0.0.0> <ms-dns1 0.0.0.0> <ms-dns3
0.0.0.0>]
rcvd [IPCP ConfReq id=0x0 <addr 10.6.6.6>]

rcvd [LCP TermReq id=0x1]
LCP terminated by peer
sent [LCP TermAck id=0x1]
Connection terminated.
Modem hangup

i got it running in windows with all that nokia stuff installed, but
never got any further than that.

any idea would be appreciated!

GPRS is weird. It doesn't follow the standard PPP design. Instead,
it does the peer (user) authentication during the "Network phase,"
which means that authentication occurs during IPCP.

During PAP authentication, the GPRS server deliberately _lies_ to the
client system. It will send PAP Authenticate-Ack even if the user
name and password are nonsense. It does this because it doesn't
bother to do the actual authentication until IPCP is run.

Seeing IPCP fail with GPRS usually means that your phone isn't
properly "registered" for IP operation or that your user name or
password are incorrect.

(Yes, it's a GPRS-specific design flaw. Yes, it's probably fixable
within the GPRS system itself -- standard operation is to do
authentication during the "Authentication phase," and then cache any
network-layer data that results from the authentication process. No,
I don't think anyone is actually going to fix this problem.)

That's the peer's address.

The peer never offers you an address.

The peer shuts down the link.

Check your user name and password, and check with your GPRS provider
to make sure that your account really does allow IP operation.

Try monitoring what windows does to establish communcations.
You may need to set the APN. On just about every GPRS network, this has to
be specified especially when your SIM card has more than one APN.
