Do you have your Linux box set up to do IP Masq? If not, put this at the end of your
/etc/rc.d/rc.local file:
/sbin/ipchains -P forward DENY
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -s <your network IP>/<bits for netmask> -j MASQ
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_chains
I have the following in for my network (192.168.1.0):
/sbin/ipchains -P forward DENY
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQ
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_chains
You can also enter these commands manually at the bash prompt.
Next you need the diald package from:
http://diald.sourceforge.net/
Setting this up, should allow your Windows clients to bring up the connection on the
Linux box as needed. Keep this in mind... certain Windows apps that run in the system
tray like to send out requests to their home planet. RealPlayer kept driving me nuts
trying to figure out what was bringing up ppp0 at odd times. It wants to
automatically update content every so often and it would make my IP masq box dial out.
Other apps, like WinAmp, like to send out queries for new versions. These will bring
up your connection when they are run.

>Hi :
I am trying to use redhat 6.2 as a dial on demand router for my network.
>From the machine itself, I access the internet and it dials whenever the
connection is needed however, from the hosts on my network I cannot access
the net (it doesn't even cause the router machine to dial)
Can someone please give some assistance.
Bill
