The "ip_forward", a run-time Kernel parameter, enables
the forwarding/routing of IP Packets by your System.
The "ip_dynaddr", a run-time Kernel parameter, allows
for IP Dynamic Address Hacking, i.e. Packet Source
Addresses are dynamically changed. With respect to
DIALD, the Link is brought up using the IP Address
specified as the local address in the Configuration File,
therefore, the first Packet has this Address as it's
Source Address. The Address Hacking allows for
replacing this Source Address with the dyanamic
address acquired once the Link is up, therefore, the
first Packet is not lost.
Reference the Kernel Documentation in:
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking
NOTE: Also, the values for the IP_DYNADDR
Parameter vary from 2.0.x and 2.2.x Kernels.

Subject: RE: two tries too get going
Hi, in the meantime I found a solution in a mail from Darren Greaves:
with two commands
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
# echo 5 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr
i got the hole thing going. Darren writes the two lines to a rc.d
file, I haven't done this but it shouldn't be a problem.
In case you understand why these commands work, I'd love an
explanation...
yours, Simon
