Thank you for all the help with my previous problem of setting an internet
gateway/router
in a LAN with win95 clients.
I finally got the internet router working. I can now connect the internet
manually via minicom,
then launch the web browser from the win95 clients. Most of the time the
connection is
good and fast (new 56K ext modem on router).
My new problems are as follows:
1) After I type in my username and password in minicom, receive a garbage
readout, and press
ALT-Q, I still need to type
# pppd
# route add default ppp0
to get connected. I tried adding the "route add default ppp0" to the
etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 file and
upon re-booting and re-dialling with minicom, there is some modem response
(some kind of
dialing and attempt to connect is made judging from the sound and lights)
but no connection
is made.
How can I get around this? This problem is related to the next problem.
2) I read the ppp-HOWTO, installed the ppp-on, ppp-on-dial and ppp-off
files in
/etc/ppp and tried executing ppp-on but it doesn't work. There is, again,
some modem activity
but no connection is made. I figure that I need to solve problem (1) first.
I will place the ppp-on, ppp-on-dial, ppp-off and options files at the end
of this message in case they
might be useful.
TIA,
Shaggy
