Hi
Having just finished a major non-computing problem, I am turning my mind
to trying to get demand dialing and network access from the hausnet before
my family kill me.
Setup: RH5.2 2.0.36 kernel, ppp 2.3.5-1, diald 0.16.5a-1
>From some previous postings and advice received, I have decided not to use
pppd demand dial because I do want to have a bit more policing of when my
offspring are netting and, more importantly I gather there are problems
with the version of ppp I have. I did copy down 2.3.10-1 but that came
with a patch file that didn't seem to work and anyway I can get the demand
dialing bit done by diald. The palaver of compiling ppp, rebuilding the
kernel and then hoping everything would work in the end was too much.
Here is my very brief ppp options file:
defaultroute
noipdefault
modem
/dev/modem
115200
crtscts
debug
passive
asyncmap 0
name "j.logsdon"
and here is the diald.conf file (it helped enormously when I realised it
was the /etc/diald.conf that needed to be modified, not the
/etc/diald/diald.conf.
accept any 420 any
device /dev/modem
speed 115200
mode ppp
dynamic
local 0.0.0.0
remote 0.0.0.0
up-delay 5
defaultroute
modem
crtscts
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -f /etc/ppp/pppscript"
redial-timeout 10
fifo /etc/diald/diald.ctl
The present problem I have is that once I execute diald and ping something
to force a connection, my network hangs. So it is a routing problem.
Here is the route table before diald:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 5502 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 2512 lo
The after diald is executed but before a ping the network is still OK
with the routing table:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
default * 255.255.255.255 UH 1 0 0 sl0
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 5502 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 2512 lo
default * 0.0.0.0 U 1 0 0 sl0
And now when I have done a ping to force ppp up, the network hangs
(specifically the xterms off the server on another machine freeze
completely) with routing table:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
default * 255.255.255.255 UH 1 0 0 sl0
locke.zen.co.uk * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 5504 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 2514 lo
default * 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 2 ppp0
default * 0.0.0.0 U 1 0 2 sl0
Any ideas what is up and what additional commands I should be adding to
diald?
TIA
John
