You need kernel support for IP alias.

I didn't think IRDA was designed to go any faster than 9600bps?
Regardless, if you're running a script to set it up, read that first.

Unless you have a winmodem, I would highly suggest that you move the modem to
the linux box and use it to do the masq / proxy work. I tested Wingate, for
comparison reasons, and the features and performance lagged compared to linux.
No hard numbers, just noticed that the performance lagged a bit. My
non-technical girlfriend noticed it, too.
Yeah, it was slightly easier to set up, but the loss in performance ain't
worth it. I'm running a 56K on a 486 with Slackware 2.0.36, and it rocks.
Need some hints? Some of the best information for masq / ppp / diald is at

Well, I can't really tell you what to do with Linux apart from this
very simple answer: anything you want or wish to do with a computer
operating system, Linux will fit the bill. I do, however, have
something to tell you about what you can do with Winblows NT but I'm
way too polite for that and besides, it's the holidays and from what
my girlfriend tells me, I have to be nice! :)

You need a user name other than root -- try "adduser steve" and give it a
password.

I found the comments in the smb.conf file to be as helpful as the HOWTO.

On the Winbox, tell it to "Close all apps and log on as a different user"
then log on as "steve" -- you can give it a null password, or you can
download the current copy of TweakUI from Microsoft and it will
automatically type a non-null password for you. If you use the same
password on the Winbox and the Linux box for "steve", it should log you into
steve's shares automatically. But let's say you leave the Winbox password
null. You still need to set up the share(s) anyway, so let's do that next.
On the Linux box add "steve" to the smb.conf file (look at the examples hey
have in there as comments using the name "fred" or "fred and mary").
;[myshare]
; comment = Mary's and Fred's stuff
; path = /usr/somewhere/shared
; valid users = mary fred
; public = no
; writable = yes
; printable = no
; create mask = 0765
Replace "mary fred" above with "steve" and take out all the
leading semicolons to uncomment the lines.
Change "/usr/somewhere/shared" to point to a valid directory on your system
(like /home/steve -- that should have been created when you added the
"steve" account, so that would be a good one to start with).
Now try mounting the share from the Winbox. When it asks for a password,
give it the Linux password for the "steve" account (it's going to use
"steve" by default because that's the name you used on the Winbox).
If that doesn't work, it may be because you need to enable encrypted
passwords -- it isn't all that hard, but let's try walking before we run.
Give it a try, and please post your results here, for good or for bad.

Yep. I never got diald to work, but dial-on-demand is built in to the
current pppd (which is NOT the one that is distributed with the kernel, for
some reason no one has ever explained very well!).
I collected and edited some posts to this group on the combined subjects of
pppd dial-on-demand and IP masquerade and saved them at this address:

There seem to have been many propriatory systems from the "big boys",
but there is now a standard in 802.11 that defines 2.4Ghz frequency-
hopping systems. I think that at the moment they run at 1 or 2Mbits.
I would guess that the fasters set-ups are going to be propriatory
systems. Doesn;t physics also define that range and speed are
invesely proportional with radio comms (dim & distant Uni stuff!)??
So if you wince at the slower speeds and go for an 11Mb link, will it
work as far down the garden?
If you;re used to a 10Mb ethernet connection then 1 or 2Mb would seem
quite slow by mathematical comparison, but consider that 10Mb is what
you'll have in the office with 50+ devices on it (okay, so we may now
have 10Mb switched...). The setup being discussed in this thread is
for a small number of devices (2) to be connected. 2Mb is quite a lot
in that context.
Enough of the theory!
I use an 802.11 compliant radio card (from Symbol Technologies
http://www.symbol.com ) in my Win95 laptop almost every
day. Although I normally use my "wired" network card when I'm in the
office, I cant say that I really notice the "bandwidth" difference
when I use my wireless network card instead. Its so simple to use - a
network card in the laptop and a transceiver unit (Access Point / MAC
layer bridge) somewhere nearby on the wired network. I don't know of
any linux drivers though....

I understand the problem (i.e., you have to put the names in /etc/hosts
and then Linux won't go out and try to resolve them and therefore the
telnet/ftp is faster). So do you know how I make it so that it
doesn't try to go out and resolve the hostnames?
I'm now in the habit of omitting DNS name server from the installation
to avoid these long waits.

You should be using "name iabuser" for (MS)CHAP instead of "user iabuser".
The results you get with "user", which is intended for PAP only, are not
well-defined for plain CHAP, a conclusion based on personal experience.
In my case it was clear what happened to cause the failure, here it is

EzPPP is a poor substitute for DUN. I have set up many, many PPP
connections, and the sad thing is that they are all different. Sometimes DUN
does not work and Linux does. One of the toughest cases was a memory bug in
2.2.0 which I forced to work by declaring a fake (large) global array. This
bug was confirmed on multiple test platforms, so it was not a result of
hardware (reported to developers) This case had absolutely no problems with
DUN. EzPPP would not have had a hope of working since it did not address the
root cause. I have seen it fail when the situation was outside its (but not
DUN's) scope. Another severe weakness of the whole methodology is the
handling of manufacturer specific modem init strings. Again, this is outside
the domain of EzPPP, but that does not mean that it is off the hook.
