Hi everyone,

I'm using diald on a linux server, to share an internet connection through
my local network

I use diald with pppd and masquerading, and it works fine, except that diald
works only if the request is from another station on my local network ! it
doesn't work if the call (a ping, i.e.) is directly from my linux server

My diald.conf is :
mode ppp
device /dev/modem
connect '/usr/bin/eznet chat 0'
speed 115200
local 127.0.0.100
remote 127.0.0.101
lock
modem
crtscts
-reroute
dynamic
-daemon

the ifconfig without pppd connection is :
sl0       Link encap:Serial Line IP
          inet addr:127.0.0.100  P-t-P:127.0.0.101  Mask:255.255.255.255
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:10

and the netstat -nr is following :
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt
Iface
127.0.0.101     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH        0 0          0 sl0
192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0
eth0
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U         0 0          0 lo
0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         U         0 0          0 sl0

if I change the local parameter (with 128.0.0.10), diald works, even on my
linux server, but I can't connect from a station to the linux server without
turning pppd on !

my local network is using 192.168.0.xxx (1,2,3...) IP addresses, and my
server is 192.168.0.100
note : this diald.conf is generated by the tools eznet, which is simple and
great, by the way

Thanks in advance, all suggestions are welcome !
