As part of the dialmon suite you get a win16.exe and a win32.exe that can
control diald. It looks a bit like the MicroSolth dialer but it also show
the diald log file and other bits. I would suggest using it just as a remote
monitor to check the shutdown of the link and using it to force a shutdown
if needed.

As another last resort option... You can make it easy for your users to
disconnect the linux box from the internet by using a simple telnet program
like TeraTerm that allows scripting.
Once the scripts have been created, you can place icons on the desktop for
connecting or disconnecting, or whatever else you may want to let the user
start, stop, or run basically like a black box. This is a slick way to
allow users to accomplish a task like that without any inconvenience other
than clicking on a specific icon. Everything runs and disappears in a
matter of seconds... Poof!
Let me know if you want any more info.

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
