Hi,
I'm using diald-0.99 on Linux with kernel 2.0.36.
The purpose of using diald is to connect a internal net to the internet.
If there is no connection to the internet I can ping between my NT box
and the Linux gateway in both directions flawlessly.
But as soon as a connection to the internet is established,
the ping packets between my NT box and the Linux gateway get lost.
The netmon utility on NT reports that there are as many packets from Linux
to Linux (!) on the net as there are echo request from the NT box.
As soon as the connection to the internet is terminated the pings run
flawlessly again.
What is the cause of this behavior? (see below for my 'diald.conf')
Thanx in advance,
Eccy
P.S.
My diald.conf:
---------------------------------------
#
# diald.conf for anathoth
#
# Select the demand dial rules you want
# Bring the link up for anything, timeout in seconds. Use this for
# when the dompute has its own phone line
#accept any 420 any
# Use the filter file that comes with diald. This can be a bit drastic,
# so use the filter below
# include /usr/lib/diald/standard.filter
# or use the filter that brings the link up for use on a line shared with
# a phone
# include /etc/diald/phone.filter
# stuff to set up the diald connection
device ppp0
mode aim # similar to dev
# We may get another terminal server, thus use
# 'dynamic' and do not tell PPP the IP number of the other end
# For use with gated, comment out the 'dynamic' option, and
# set remote to be the same as local
#dynamic
local 10.0.0.1
remote 10.0.0.2
# Delay sending packets for 5 seconds after PPP device opens -
# this allows routes to be established back to the appropriate dialup server.
#up-delay 5
#up-delay 200
start-pppd-timeout 240
defaultroute
connect /bin/true
disconnect /bin/true
addroute /home/kirk/aim/basic_diald/addroute
delroute /home/kirk/aim/basic_diald/delroute
ip-up /home/kirk/aim/basic_diald/ipup
ip-down /home/kirk/aim/basic_diald/ipdown
# wait 60 seconds between redial attempts
redial-timeout 60
fifo /etc/diald/diald.ctl
include /usr/lib/diald/standard.filter
---------------------------------
The 'mode aim' is my mode to dialup the internet since I'm forced to use
an own method (dialing the modem and starting up pppd in one step) for
the connection (unusual modem with two serial ports, 1 for commands,
1 for the established connection).
