Hello everyone,
I'm new on the list and have a problem with diald.
Please try to find a few time to read my post, since I need your help, thanks!
I'm running two boxes, one is Win95 (WK) and one is RedHat Linux 5.1 (kernel 2.0.34)
(SRV1) with diald 0.16.5.
SRV1 can be connected to the Internet by a modem (PSTN, not ISDN) --dynamic IP
allocation. I have ipfwadm masquerading packets coming from WK out to the Internet and
WK feels like beeing connected to the Internet.
All works *very* fine, except one thing:
when an application has to bring the modem line up (when SRV1 is not yet connected to
the Internet), diald dials the provider, opens the connection but seems to loose the
packets which opened the connection: the application does not receive any answer.
I have to stop (say) Netscape request and ask it a second time for an URL (modem on
SRV1 still connected) to have it an answer back...
It is very ennoying since I would like people on the LAN to really feel like having a
permanent connection to the net --it will be ISDN, not a modem.
- is there a workaround ?
- any tips ? some more masqerading ?
- will it be the same with ISDN ?
- is this a problem of parameters with diald ?
- a problem of time-out with diald ?
Thanks for all you could advice to me and regards from Paris!
Michel.
