I have been using Eiger 3.1 over DSL pppoe for some time now with no problems. But, I have run into one concerning the execution of /etc/ppp/ip-up.
I have some software that requires the leaf box to port forward certain port numbers. That's no problem. I first did it in a script file and had no problems. This is some amateur radio software which is basically Speak Freely. Ok, it works until I lose ppp link for what ever reason and then I have to manually run my script to get the ports forwarded again. So, I go to /etc/ppp and modify ip-up and ip-down. ip-down to delete the rules when the ppp link is lost, and ip-up to re-enter the rules when the ppp link comes back up. First test, simply unplug the phone line from DSL modem simulating ppp disconnect at providers end. Monitor for ppp link to go down, i.e. ppp loses local address. When the link disappears check port forwarding rules and sure enough, the rules are deleted. So ip-down part is working. Plug phone line back in and monitor for re-eatablishment of ppp link. After ppp is reconnected, check port forwarding rules. Sure enough the rules are there using the new local address. Test software and it is runnning correctly. Back up ppp to boot disk. Now for the problem. I reboot the leaf box, and after rebooting and connecting ppp, my rules are not there. Nothing in the forwarding rules. Look at ip-up and ip-down to make sure files WERE backed up to disk. They were. I unplug the line to run the first test again and the rules get entered like before, no problems. So, it would seem that /etc/ppp/ip-up is either not being run or something is different at system boot. Any ideas? -- Jeff [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
