Hello,
I finally got dial-on-demand with ppp-2.3.5 working - on my machine. The
problem is that I'm using IP masquerading on our LAN, and that's far from
functional. In fact, as soon as I start pppd with my demand configuration,
nobody is able to connect to the Linux box anymore: No ping, no telnet, no
nothing.
Here's what my ppp/options file looks like:
>-------SNIP-------<
lock
defaultroute
noipdefault
modem
/dev/ttyS1
57600
crtscts
debug
passive
asyncmap 0
name "fiedler"
ipcp-accept-local
ipcp-accept-remote
0.0.0.0:10.10.10.10
demand
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/pppscript"
>-------SNIP-------<
After booting the Linux box fresh, before starting pppd, the routing table
looks like this:
>-------SNIP-------<
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 7 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 1 lo
>-------SNIP-------<
After starting pppd with the above configuration file, it looks like that:
>-------SNIP-------<
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.10.10.10 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 8 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 1 lo
0.0.0.0 10.10.10.10 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0
>-------SNIP-------<
At this stage, nothing works on the LAN.
After connecting to the net (usually by issung a 'ping www.somewhere.net'
on the Linux machine), it looks like this:
>-------SNIP-------<
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
207.207.199.27 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 11 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 1 lo
0.0.0.0 207.207.199.27 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 5 ppp0
>-------SNIP-------<
I guess I have to find a smart replacement for the '0.0.0.0:10.10.10.10'
line in my options file. I already tried the address of the Linux box and
the broadcast address - but nothing seemed to work.
Could someone please help me out here?
TIA,
Juergen
