hi all,
first thanks to all on the ppp list for helping me out with prompt
suggestions for setting up the PPP server.
my ppp server is up and running . installed mgetty to service ttyS0
requests.
--->
there is a small problem though. after ppp link is up , i am able to ping
the ppp server but nothing beyond that. this ppp server is connected to a
a lan on the ethernet. when i try to ping any host( capella) on the net ,
there is no reply. my modem lights indicate outgoing packets for icmp
messg.
it took me some time to figure out from the arp and route table entries
arp :
Address HWtype HWaddress Flags Mask Iface
163.122.6.200 ether 00:80:AD:B6:19:D8 C * eth0
163.122.6.253 ether 00:80:48:91:24:2F CMP * wln0
Entries: 2 Skiped: 0 Found: 2
route :
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
163.122.6.253 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
163.122.6.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 15 eth0
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 wln0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default capella.tulblr. 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 21 eth0
before that let me clarify that i there also happens to be a wavelan card
which has been renamed as wln0.
i have given 'proxyarp' options in /etc/ppp/options both at ppp server
and ppp client.
for furthur details, this is how ifconfig at ppp server looks
