Ok folks. This quest is almost over. I've lost 4 days to find out that
there was a tiny bug inside.
Don't ask me why, but diald is unable to make both tap0 and then ppp0
the default gateway.
At compile i've changed config.h to read:
#undef PATH_ROUTE "/sbin/route"
and that's exactly where 'route' is.
I've also attached the config which has the 'defaultroute' enabled.
I'm just too lazy to see the diald code, but if there is someone else
with this problem this is how I resolved it:
look inside my diald starting script and notice the 'route ...' command
inside
it is possible that on slow machines the 'sleep' command should be
increased ...
You must also add these lines in a script that gets loaded after
ppp-up.
(the 'extip=...' is in a single line! ;)
extip="`/sbin/ifconfig ppp0 | grep 'inet addr' | awk '{print $2}' | sed
-e 's/.*://'`"
route add default gw $extip
This line should be added to some script after ip-down.
route add default gw 192.168.1.10
In every example 192.168.1.10 repesents the (fake) remote address from
diald.conf
Any comments?
Bye
Peter
