hi all!
i am having trouble getting ppp to work on the server side of a PPP
link. i was hoping you would be able to help me...
situation:
i make a ppp link from a win95 box to the linux server. i have static a
ip address. before upgrading to redhat 5.1 (and hence to ppp 2.3.3 from
2.2.0) everything worked very well. now, the "proxyarp" no longer works:
i can make a link between client and server, talk between them, but
not between the client and another computer on the local network:
internet
|
+---------------+
| router -.193 |
+---------------+
|
subnet: 10.10.10.192 |
ethernet lan --------------------------------------------
| |
| eth0 |
+----------------+ +----------------------+
|linux box -.230 | | other lan computers |
+----------------+ +----------------------+
| ppp0
|
+----------------+
|win client -.229|
+----------------+
ppp version: ppp-2.3.3-4 (rh 5.1 rpm)
kernel: 2.0.34 (rh 5.1)
the modem is on ttyS1
here is the output from various commands (on the linux box):
( i will call the linux box "pserv", the win95 box "pcli",
and a computer on the lan "lan-machine" )
pserv ip: 10.10.10.230
pcli ip: 10.10.10.229
lan-machine: 10.10.10.200
(i am hiding the real class C network number with the bogus 10.10.10
network number)

pppd gets launched with:
/usr/sbin/pppd auth login debug -detach -chap +pap
****************
so i can make the connection, telnet from "pcli" to "pserv", and then
from "pserv" to "lan-machine", i just can't telnet directly from
"pcli" to "lan-machine"... nor can i ping "pcli" from "lan-machine"
(dns lookup of pcli is ok).
i don't think anything is wrong with the win95 box as i used it
successfully before, and i have not changed anything. but then it is
windows...
i would be sooo happy if you could help me out! and tell me what is wrong....
thanks in advance,
phil.
