Hi all you happy (working) diald users! You have all my respect if
you've made this software work on your systems. I cannot imagine a more
cryptic installation procedure ;-(
Let's get serious now ... this is what I did so far:
1. not connected
[root@localhost init.d]# ipchains-save
:input ACCEPT
:forward ACCEPT
:output ACCEPT
Saving `input'.
-A input -s 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 -d 192.168.0.4/255.255.255.255
Saving `output'.
-A output -s 192.168.0.4/255.255.255.255 -d 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
192.168.0.4 is my LAN ip
if I ping anything I get 'connect: Network is unreachable '
Why doesn't diald start?
my resolv.conf reads:
search localdomain
nameserver 193.231.208.1 (my ISP)
my hosts reads:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.4 localhost.localdomain
should something be changed (added)?
tap0 looks like this
tap0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:FD:00:00:00:00
inet addr:192.168.1.5 Bcast:0.0.0.0 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:37 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
Interrupt:5
if I ping 192.168.1.* diald connects and starts pppd. hip hip hurrah!
How do I make tap0 the default gateway? Do I need to do that?
Where do I use the port# from diald.conf? (tcpport 10000)
2. connected
problems:
Tue Aug 8 12:50:16 2000 EEST Running pppd (pid = 10072).
Tue Aug 8 12:50:18 2000 EEST New addresses: local 193.231.220.151,
remote 193.231.222.78, broadcast 0.0.0.0
Tue Aug 8 12:50:18 2000 EEST start ppp0: SIOCSIFMETRIC: Operation not
supported
Tue Aug 8 12:50:18 2000 EEST start ppp0: Cannot send dump request:
Connection refused
Tue Aug 8 12:50:18 2000 EEST start ppp0: Cannot send dump request:
Connection refused
Tue Aug 8 12:50:18 2000 EEST stop tap0: Cannot send dump request:
Connection refused
what is that 'Cannot send' stuff?
Even if it's connected, I cannot use the internet at all (connect:
Network is unreachable)
I have now this as forward rules:
-A forward -s 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 -d 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 -j MASQ
-A forward -s 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 -d 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 -j DENY
the rest of the ipchains rules is what I normally use when I connect to
internet.
What should be changed?
In case that 'diald' will ever work on my system how do I link it to
squid/junkbuster?
I know that there are many questions in my message and I apologize for
that, but this is due to the lack of good documentation concerning this
program. IMHO these problems were probably faced by anyone who tried to
install this software and not all of those were rocket scientists.
Any ideas are more than welcome
Peter
