Hello,
I have a small problem that I am hoping someone here can help me with.
Small network at home, both linux, one is masqueraded. Machine #1 is the
gateway, #2 the masqueraded machine.
Problem: Machine #1 is running, with demand dialing enabled. That is, the
link is idle, waiting for ip packets to make it dial.
When I boot machine #2 into this situation, the gateway dials up. This
happens during the boot-up sequence, when AMD(auto mount daemon) is
called. I believe the machine is making a dns lookup, and therefore dials
to satisfy what is in it's /etc/resolv.conf file. However, if I remove the
ISP nameserver addresses from said file then Masquerading doesn't work. How
can I keep the gateway from dialing when I boot #2, and still keep
masquerade working?
Also, does machine #2 need ppp enabled in the kernel? I am running Caldera
OpenLinux 1.2, the initial install configuration is with PPP enabled. When
I recompile the kernel, do I need to enable ppp and slip, or is ethernet
enough to masq. internet connection?
Thanks for any help you have the time to give,
Paul
