I just got IP Masq working at a rudimentary level, viz. I can manually log
into my ISP
manually with minicom and launch the browser from my win95 clients. The
arrangement
is stable even with three win95 clients simulataneously browsing the net.
The browsers
are Netscape 4.04 and Opera 3.x. I will eventually automate the log-ins and
log-outs
with ppp-on, ppp-off scripts.
However, my problem is that my win95 client can no longer check or send
mail with
Eudora Pro 4.0. Not while IP Masq'ed through the Linux router. And not even
when I
tried direct connection with the modem MOVED to the win95 machine.
The error messages are as follows:
> Contacting [my.isp.domain.name] (192.168.1.3) <--this is IP add of
the win95 client
>Could not connect [my.isp.domain.name]
>Cause: Connection refused (10061)
This occurs in both instances: while connected to IP Masq router (modem on
Linux router)
and when direct dial-up was attempted from win95 (modem on win95).
I know this is not a windows list but if anybody knows how to fix the
problem, I would
really appreciate it. The reason I was able to send this email is I had to
reconfigure
win95 to disable DNS (same nameserver info as in /etc/resolv.conf) from the
TCP/IP stack
bound to the machine's network card. Now this win95 machine is excluded from
IP Masq. and I donot want to keep moving my single modem back and forth
between two machines.
