Failed to activate ppp0 with error 2, 6 or 8

[jakubi]

I get these error messages:

"Failed to activate ppp0 with error 2"

on boot,

"Failed to activate ppp0 with error 8"

from /sbin/ifup ppp0, when connection is off, and

"Failed to activate ppp0 with error 6"

when conection is on.

I have an external serial modem, and I can connect with KPPP, but the firewall Firestarter does seem to have a conflict with this ppp0 issue. Eg. an error message like:

"Starting the Firestarter: ppp0: error fetching
interface information"

appears on boot.

What is the origin of this problem? How to solve it?

Regards, Alejandro
