Hi I've got Redhat 5.1 and diald-0.16_5-201.i386.rpm.My current ISP actually uses static ip addresses, and diald works perfectly with local and remote addresses defined correctly in diald.conf. I can ping www.sun.com, for example, the link comes up and I get returned ICMP packets. I am running a local ethernet with two machines on 192.168.1.0. However, I want to change to a new ISP that is free but uses dynamic addresses. I have an account with them and I have tried adding dynamic to diald.conf which should work, but when I try this the ping freezes. I ran diald with debug 48, and tail -f /var/log/messages and I can see that the system has negotiated remote and local addresses OK, but the ping still doesn't work. I have deliberately used ping <somedomain> so the link should be brought up by a DNS request. If I <ctrl-c> out of the ping and try it again the ping works, so I guess its to do with the usual problem of packets getting lost because of changing IP address, but I have also tried echo 5 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr which did not work and I am now stuck. Have I missed anything else? Any help is appreciated. Regards Paul - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-diald" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
