I have a problem that I hope has a fairly straightforward solution. The
problem is when a program (telnet, ftp, Netscape, etc.) starts a link
with diald (version 0.98.2), the first time it uses a dummy remote IP
address given as "remote 194.109.2.10" in my config file, while all
successive connections use the remote IP address dynamically assigned by
my ISP. This is indicated in /var/log/diald.log. The first connections
show up as:
Mon May 31 10:53:30 1999 PDT: Calling site 194.109.2.10.
Mon May 31 10:53:52 1999 PDT: Connected to site 194.109.2.10.
Mon May 31 10:54:45 1999 PDT: Disconnected. Call duration 53 seconds.
IP transmitted 2039 bytes and received 2188 bytes.
All following connections show up like the following, where the "20" in
the "Calling site" IP address varies according to which remote computer
I get at my ISP:
Mon May 31 10:56:21 1999 PDT: Calling site 199.2.132.20.
Mon May 31 10:56:43 1999 PDT: Connected to site 199.2.132.20.
Mon May 31 10:57:32 1999 PDT: Disconnected. Call duration 49 seconds.
IP transmitted 889 bytes and received 1045 bytes.
The result is that no network connections work after diald dials up to
my ISP the first time. Using telnet for example, I get the message "Host
name lookup failure" when I try connecting to a hostname, and "network
unreachable" when I try an IP address. Restarting diald allows me to
connect correctly again on the first call. Sometimes though, diald dials
and allows telnet to connect to a hostname several times in a row. Any
ideas?
