I'm trying to setup a server on my home network (two computers connected
through a hub) that can function as an e-mail server and that can allow IP
masquerading to enable both computers to have internet access through a
single modem.
The first step is to get diald working properly.
The computer is an older 486 with Slackware, kernel 2.0.34, console based
(no X windows)
I've reached the point where I can fire up "diald", then use the command
"lynx www.linux.org" and the computer will dial up the ISP, make the
connection, receive both the local and remote IP addresses, and then
........ die.
The modem doesn't hang up the line, but I can't ping anywhere ( I get the
error message "network not available"), and if I do a "ps" command, diald
is no longer running.
Here's copies of the relevent files (if I need to submit any others please
feel free to let me know):
"diald.def" is unchanged from the standard file
"host.conf"
order hosts,bind
multi on
/etc/ppp/options (I commented out the commands that the man pages said
should be configured through diald)

Any suggestions what needs to be done?
