Hello all,
Is anyone in the list running DIALD using IP MASQUERADING?
I would appreciate any help.
Here is my setup.
My DIALD Gateway is a LINUX BOX (kernel 2.2.10) and I use DIALD 0.99
I use a DYNAMIC PPP Link to my ISP so my LINUX does not have a static
IP ADDRESS on the PPP interface. So I use 192.168.0.1 for the initial
local sl0 interface and 192.168.0.2 for the remote.
I also have another 2 Windows 98 Boxes in the house for the rest of the
family to use. They are all connected via Ethernet cards and they can
talk to each other. All the boxes have ip addresses in the 44.154.x.x region
for their ETHERNET CARDS.
When I run DIALD and also activate the IP masquerading, the first attempt
from the WINDOWS BOXES to access a URL on internet fails, because
when the link comes up, the WINDOWS BOXES does not know what to masquerade as.
The link comes up though and when I press the RERFESH button, my WINDOWS
boxes can now masquerade as the IP ADDRESS my LINUX BOX got from my ISP
and I can get to Internet OK.
What I cannot do is have a script (or a set of scripts) that will first send
UNMASQUERADED packets to interface sl0, bring up the link and then
activate IP MASQUERADING. After a period of inactivity, the link should
come down and the IP MASQUERADING RULES removed.
I tried to use the addroute and delroute option on the file /etc/diald.conf
as the README.masq suggests (this file comes with DIALD 0.99) and I also tried
to put the IP MASQERADING RULES in the script ip-up and ip-down, but no joy.
The commands:
/sbin/ipchains -P forward DENY
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -s 44.154.125.8/255.255.255.248 -j MASQ
are not executed if I put them in /etc/ppp/ip-up script and if I use the
addroute option in /etc/diald.conf they seems to be executed when the
DIALD daemon comes up (i.e. at boot time), so they are always there.
PLEASE HELP. If anyone has a working set of scripts/instructions I would
appreciate it very much if he could share them with me.
