Yep .. that was it .. it is now worling fine.. I have noticed that it seems to hang occasionaly but the one that I put in PROD was f****d up a bit .. I will re-configure another and that should resolve it.

A diald server normally will route packets from itsself, but not from other workstations, since their addresses are usually non-routeable (IE: Can't find there way back to the diald server after it sends them over the internet). Not sure of the syntax for ipfwadm, but you should be able to issue a couple commands to turn masquerading on to see if this is the problem. If you have ipchains instead of ipfwadm, just type in 2 commands on the diald server: ipchains -P forward ACCEPT ipchains -A forward -i ppp0 -j MASQ This will turn on masquerading for all packets you forward over your ppp0 interface and will allow you to bring up the ppp link by issuing a internet request (ping, ftp, etc) from any machine on your network that uses the diald server as its gateway. If ip forwarding is turned on, you will immediately be able to ping internet addresses. -----Original Message----- From: Baribault, Gary [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, July 01, 1999 1:09 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: diald Well... where doing good.. 95% there .. I used all your files and Diald now starts up and every boot and works.. From my gateway I can ping anything on the NET, My problem is that the system is not routing trafic from other workstations.. I can ping the gateway from my laptop, but I cannot ping the Internet. Any ideas, I dont have any ipfwadm rules in place yet, I have set FORWARD_IPV4 in /etc/sysconfig/network to yes, I have checked that the file /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward contains a 1 or 5.. Im stumped..

You should only have an ifcfg file for each fixed network interface. ppp isn't fixed. Somehow it has been configured as a fixed interface. I'm sorry I missed a vital line off the end of the diald.conf file : You need to include the standard filter file. Now try this: # stuff to set up the diald connection accept any 120 any mode ppp connect /etc/diald/connect device /dev/cua1 speed 115200 modem lock crtscts local 192.168.3.1 remote 192.168.3.2 dynamic defaultroute include /usr/lib/diald/standard.filter Sorry about that.
