WoooWhooo! Celebration at my place. Bering is the winner! I can connect and
ping everywhere. Major step forward.
--------------------
previous:
With this suggestion, I think it's time to "cut & run" from EigerStein --->
Bering. You concur? Thanks for the help. Let me give it a try and I'll be
back to you. Hopefully with success. Go Well -- Bob Peterson
--------------------
Now, I feel like the happy couple in the back of the bus at the end of "The
Graduate". They say, "Now what?"
Things I've noticed:
1) When the system boots, it insists on dialing out. It does connect, but I
would rather a "pppd demand". I can turn this off by adding to
'/etc/ppp/peers/provider' --> "demand", but then 'pon provider' fails to
launch and spawns a new '/usr/sbin/pppd' each try without connecting. Also
'/etc/ppp/no_ppp_on_boot' does exist. My reading says this should prevent
the on-boot dial out. Hmmm?
1a) Without '/usr/ppp/peers/provider' --> "demand", when the system goes off
line, then the modem responds to a ping request, dials out and pings
correctly. This is the big success.
2) Bering does not report to the screen or to any log file the nifty connect
info I get from my Slackware9.0 box, thus:
Using interface ppp0
Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS1
local IP address 206.166.57.178
remote IP address 206.166.57.162
Should I see any/that messages about addresses? I tried adding to
'/etc/ppp/peers/provider' --> "icpc-accept-local" and "icpc-accept-remote",
but it flat out didn't like that. Hmmmm, again?
Oppps, I just found it --> /var/log/daemon.log. Anyway to send it to the
screen?
3) Third, hmmmm? Now what? What to do to enable the firewall to respond to
other boxes on my LAN, to dial out, and connect for them. Something must be
done on the other machines so they know to talk to "firewall" for their
outside connection. Yes? Also, I can correctly ping all my machines on my
LAN, which are listed in '/etc/hosts'.
4) Last, hmmmm? '/usr/sbin/ipmasqadm' does not exist. Should it? And is it
need for the masq kinda stuff? Now I'm into new, uncharted waters.
So, again, here's hoping for some final help, then I'll go away for good or at
least a long time. You all have been really helpful and I appreciate the
support.
Go Well -- Bob Peterson

?s: who is "user-162.charle"? And what does he do for a living?
5) do not exist: '/usr/sbin/ipmasqadm', '/proc/net/ip_masq/autofw',
'ipchains' --> Why not? And is this okay?
Stuff you probably already know:
1) When configure Shorewall --> masq: entry 8, not 7
2) When configure Shorewall --> interfaces: it does not like OPTIONS -->
routestopped. Had to leave this blank. Okay?
