Hello all there? With your kind help, I have make the diald work for my desktop but meet more troubles when I build a dynamic ppp router for our office LAN. Configuration as follows: computer name IP address system Gateway ROUTER 192.168.0.1 Linux RH 6.1(empty) MAIL 192.168.0.9 LInux RH 6.1 192.168.0.1 JITAO 192.168.0.3 Win98 192.168.0.1 I have enabled ROUTER's IP forwading function and setup the ppp0 and diald. it works well locally. I can triger the ppp0 through diald if any operations at ROUTER require. the name server at ROUTER is 202.96.44.88 which is my ISP provided. I also configure the name server at JITAO and MAIL as 202.96.44.88. I use ipchains only for masqurade but rule is very simple. see blow. Chain input (policy ACCEPT) Chain forward (policy DENY) target prot opt source destinatin ports MASQ all ------ anywhere anywhere n/a Chain output (policy ACCEPT) Once the ppp0 is up at ROUTER all three computers work fine. However, Problems and questions 1. MAIL box becomes very slow to telnet and swat request after seting the GATEWAY=192.168.0.1 why? what is the solutions? 2.I can trigger the ppp0 at ROUTER from JITAO by any http or pop request.However, If the ppp0 at ROUTER died, command "lynx www.yahoo.com" at ROUTER will triger the ppp0 again. BUT I can not fire it up from JITAO or MAIL in 20 to 30 mins. Why? How can i solve that?
