Hi all,
I had the following problem:
> I'm using diald-0.99 on Linux with kernel 2.0.36.
[snip]
> But as soon as a connection to the internet is established,
> the ping packets between my NT box and the Linux gateway get lost.
[snip]
After getting the following suggestion/patch from Atsawin Chowanakritsanakul
(many thanx) my LAN connection soes function properly.
I thaught other may as well benefit from this.
% This is a known problem.
% When the connection is established, diald-0.99 will ifconfig sl0 to 0.0.0.0
% instead of just down it.
% Someone from this list said that this make 2.0.x kernel confuse
% and fail to communicate with LAN.
%
% To work around it, just apply this patch:
