Hello, Who knows how to configure on demand pppd with network sharing and firewall capabilities? I used this link http://www.nic.com/~cannon/Linux/ 1. I configured my modem. 2. included /etc/modules.conf alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate 3. Configured my connection with linuxconf #works fine 4. Modified /etc/ppp/options: demand idle 60 ipcp-accept-remote ipcp-accept-local lock noauth defaultroute modem 112000 crtscts connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/chat-ppp0' 5. Configured /etc/ppp/masq (Yes I see that is for kernel 2.0 but with MDK-7.2 it works also) #!/bin/sh # /etc/ppp/masq -- start/stop IP masquerade services (2.0 kernels) NAME=$0 case "$1" in start) echo -n "Starting IP Masquerade support... " # flush current settings: /sbin/ipfwadm -O -f /sbin/ipfwadm -I -f /sbin/ipfwadm -F -f # default policy is "deny" /sbin/ipfwadm -F -p deny # block Windows housekeeping traffic from triggering autodial etc: /sbin/ipfwadm -F -a deny -P tcp -S 0.0.0.0/0 137:139 /sbin/ipfwadm -F -a deny -P udp -S 0.0.0.0/0 137:139 # provide masquerade services for the local machines - fix these addresses # to match your LAN and be sure to include the Linux machine itself! /sbin/ipfwadm -F -a m -S 10.254.254.25 -D 0.0.0.0/0 -P all /sbin/ipfwadm -F -a m -S 10.254.254.39 -D 0.0.0.0/0 -P all /sbin/ipfwadm -F -a m -S 10.254.254.34 -D 0.0.0.0/0 -P all # install these modules if you have a need for them... # /sbin/insmod ip_masq_cuseeme /sbin/insmod ip_masq_ftp # /sbin/insmod ip_masq_irc # /sbin/insmod ip_masq_quake # /sbin/insmod ip_masq_raudio # /sbin/insmod ip_masq_vdolive echo "Done." ;; stop) echo -n "Stopping IP masquerade..." # /sbin/rmmod ip_masq_cuseeme /sbin/rmmod ip_masq_ftp # /sbin/rmmod ip_masq_irc # /sbin/rmmod ip_masq_quake # /sbin/rmmod ip_masq_raudio # /sbin/rmmod ip_masq_vdolive /sbin/ipfwadm -F -f echo "Done." ;; *) echo "Usage: /etc/ppp/$NAME {start|stop}" exit 1 ;; esac exit 0 6. ppp0 starts on-boot, and ppp0 is default route. Starting ppp0 it hangs & exits with error mesage: "Bringing up interface ppp0: Failed to activate ppp0, retrying in the background" 7. i start my "/etc/ppp/masq start" 8. i start "pppd :10.0.0.2" (And here it hangs and doesn't gives me back prompt, is it ok?) 9. It works! ppp-on-demand Now who can point me to the right address, to configure normally ppp-on-demand with MDK-7.2 using all new features. Thank you Dovydas
