Hey all, I've currently got a server with two ethernet interfaces. One points to the local LAN (100.100.101.0/24) and one to an ISDN modem (100.100.100.0/24). I've got connection sharing up and running fine for all the clients on the network.
The problem is, I want to enable a dial-in connection to give remote users access to the samba shares on this server. I've set up mgetty and pppd to establish the connection, but once connected, although the server has an IP of 100.100.102.1 and the client 100.100.102.2, no packets are being sent or received. If I ping 100.100.102.1 from the client, the little modem lights flash to say packets are going out, but I get a "Request timed out" message. The server is debian, 2.4 kernel I think. The client is windows 2000. My mgetty login.config has the line: /AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd file /etc/ppp/options.dialup mgetty is started from inittab with the following line: S0:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x 3 ttyS0 My options.dialup file has these options set: -detach Asyncmap 0 auth modem crtscts lock require-pap refuse-chap login proxyarp ms-dns 100.100.102.1 ms-dns 100.100.100.1 And my options.ttyS0 has this line: 100.100.102.1:100.100.102.2 Now, as I say, the connection is established fine, but no packets are being sent or received at either end. Am I missing something obvious with being a new player in this game of Linux? Any suggestions or advice will be greatly appreciated.
