Here is the command that I use to do exactly what you want:
/sbin/ipfwadm -F -a accept -S 192.168.0.0/24 -m
I put this at the end of rc.local. Seems to be working great.

If you have fifo support builtin and turned on, you can either use dcntrl to
turn on 'force' mode, or just do:
echo force > /etc/diald.fifo
(replace /etc/diald.fifo with the path of the fifo used in the diald.conf
file). Note, this won't prevent your ISP from killing the connection if they
have an idle killer. In my .profile, I have it ask me whether I want to bring
up the connection:
echo up > /etc/diald.fifo
or force it up:
echo "force\nup" > /etc/diald.fifo
or not bring it up at all. If you have a fixed IP, it is ok if diald drops the
line, as long as none of your clients try any I/O while the line is down. If
you use an ISP and don't have a fixed IP, then of course you are hosed.

The thing to do is to use Samba, which allows your Linux machine to show
up on
your NT network as a Win machine. You can use the PDC to handle the
logins just fine.
Make sure that you install Samba if you haven't already, and then go to
the HOWTO for it.
The HOWTO is called, refreshingly enough, SMB-HOWTO (SMB being the usual
for Samba.)
There are also good books on the subject. A lot of Linux manuals have a
chapter on Samba.
It isn't terribly difficult to configure. There's a smb.conf file in
/etc which allows you
to set the system. If you're comfortable administering an NT network,
many of the entries
are quite easy to understand.
You set up the NT-style shares in this file as well, which is also quite
easy.
I use Samba on several Linux machines on my home network and all works
quite well.

Subject: NCD X terminal + Linux xdm = ?
Date: 9 Feb 1999 00:08:22 +0300
I've encountered very strange behavoir on my home network.
There is \
1. Main linux machine which runs xdm (RedHat 4.2 with almost default
setup)
2. Linux box, serving as X-terminal
x:5:respawn:/usr/X11R6/bin/X -query mainmachine
in /etc/inittab
3. Real hardware X-terminal NCD ECX with 2Mb flash.
While Linux-based X terminal functions perfectly, and so does local
console of main machine, NCD exibits very weird behavior.
It looks like it attempts to connect to xdm more than once,
which can result in following:
1. After user logs in and work for few minutes, all his windows
suddenly disappear and XDM login screen appears again. After logging in
once again user have chance to see his old windows along with new ones
started from .xsession, but sometimes his work is lost forever.
2. After user logs in and types password correctly, xdm login screen
appears again as if .xsession failed. But .xsession is good becouse same
user can log in from local console or other Xterminal.
3. Most weird thing I've ever seen:
User logs in and his window manager started. But login window appears
again and it got a fvwm frame.
Also I have noticed that sometimes NCD tries to ask very strange things
from main machine's DNS, like its own name with double domain appended.
There is some quotes from ncd configuration file:
exec-startup-commands = {
{ "login mainmachine" }
}
login-default-hosts = {
{ tcp "mainmachine" nil }
}
login-disabled-networks = {
}
login-dwlogin-name = "NDS_LOGIN"
login-dwlogin-password = ""

login-xdm-action-on-disconnect = logout
login-xdm-broadcast-wait-time = 3

dhcpcd has a "-c <scriptname>" option. Whenever dhcpcd gets an ip
address, it will call the script and will pass the following environment
variables: IPADDR, ROUTER, etc., etc.
In that script, you can write:
route add default gw ${ROUTER}
and voila.
On the other hand, even though you will be assinged an address
dynamically, your default gateway probably will not change since you
remain on the same subnet. (unless the ISP has multiple gateways and
wishes to spread the load... unlikely). In this case, you need to find
out what the default gateway is and set the static route.

Hi, It seems that I have a similar problem. Ran LANAIDC /FAST=AUTO16
then
LANAIDC /VIEW to make sure that all other parameters are OK.
The LAN is known as working fine.
Eventhough the adapter runs, it keeps logging errors as follows:
" tr0: ISA P&P adapter found using irq 11, PIOaddr a20, 16K shared
RAM.
" tr0: Hardware address : 00:04:AC:B7:E9:97
