ISDN: local net and syncPPP connection

Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 4.4

Symptom:

You have configured a local network e.g. on eth0.

Right after a PPP connection was configured, you do not have access to the local net anymore. If PPP (that is, the device ippp0 or ppp0) was not configured, the local net still works.

In /var/log/messages the following error message appears:

kernel: ARP: arp called for own IP address

Cause:

Wrong net configuration.

Solution:

How was the device ippp0 configured?
Probably you have declared 0.0.0.0 as local IP number of the point to point connection .
Enter an authentic IP number (no net address), e.g.:
```
IFCONFIG_3="193.141.17.73 pointopoint 1.1.1.1 metric 1"
```

Hint:

This phenomenon appears in ISDN (syncPPP) as well as modem connections.
