Hi,

This continues the previous thread discussing the PPPoS implementation for the STM32F407. I successfully established a PPP connection and obtained an IP address. However, my ICMP ping to Google did not receive a successful response. Please check the code snippet below for any necessary changes.

Hi @Pavel A.
Are you ST employee?

No I am not.

Hello,
I would greatly appreciate any assistance with the LTE modem PPPoS implementation for the STM32F407, as well as any related documents or information you could share.
Thank you!
