I finally got my friends pppoe system working with dyndns.org free dns service. He gave me ssh access so I could play with his configuration from my house.
He used Jacques Nilo's version of ez-ipupdate called ez-ipupd.lrp It is smaller and newer - and worked. He couldn't get ez-ipupdate.lrp to work for some reason. The lrp can be downloaded from here http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/packages/ Jacques does not have this package listed in his menu and there is no help file for it, but it works. get the package to load by putting it in the list of programs to load at boot or load it in with lrpkg -i ez-ipud (mount the floppy and cd /mnt to get this to work) ****** configuring ez-ipupd ****** # ae /etc/ez-ipupd.conf you can edit this from the lrcfg menu service-type=dyndns if that is what you use user=username:password what you setup on dyndns.org host=hostname.address.net whatever host name you were assigned on dyndns interface=ppp0 the interface that has the external IP in ppp0 NOT eth0 ****** changes we made to get automatic updates when isp changes your ip ****** In /etc/ppp/ip-up towards the end of the script we added svi network ipfilter reload to fix his port forwards and svi ez-ipupd start to tell your dns provider that your ip changed --------- # Main Script starts here run-parts /etc/ppp/ip-up.d svi network ipfilter reload svi ez-ipupd start # last line ez-ipupd does not continue to run as attested by doing a "ps". There is no pid so it apparently runs, contacts the dns service and then shuts down. That is why we used the start feature of ez-ipupd ****** backup ****** ppp, ez-ipupd . . . I don't think you have to backup pppoe but you can do that for good measure. ***** test ***** to test - unplug your dsl modem but leave your router alone plug it back in. The provider will likely issue you a new ip when your connection goes down and then reconnects. Have a friend ping or access your machine by name. It works. -- Victor McAllister _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
