Suggest you run dialmon. It shows the outstanding packet timeouts and hence
may give you a pointer as to the culprit!

Subject: diald won't hang up
Hi all,
I am new to this mailing list.
I have set up my linux box and managed to get my ppp dial up to my ISP
working,
after one week of searching for solution for using diald with PAP.
I intend to use the linux as a gateway to internet for the win9x LAN at
home,
doing IP Masquerading.
Now it is basically working with the following problem, which I hope to get
some help for, from you guys.
1. the first ping package triggers the dialing, but will not get the a
return.
- this I believe is a known problem when we are using dynamic IP address
from ISP?
someone has suggested to do
echo "5" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr
but it doesn't work for me.
and I am pinging by IP number, so it is not my resolv.conf problem.
For worst case, I guess I can live with this problem if no solution is
available.
2. once connected, I can do pretty much everything, but after idle for 1
hour (that is the longest I have tried), it won't disconnect.
any way at all to monitor what has cause this connection to stay alive?
If cannot be solved, what is the best way to shut this connection down
from the win9x clients on the LAN.
(i won't ask the users to telnet to linux box and stop diald), any
other way?
Regards,
Rusman
