Re: Diald Setup

[Colin Tree <coltree@chc.net.au>]

Hi,
	I set up pppconfig, got pon and poff working successfully,
set up diald.options according to Johns instructions
then started up diald and went browsing, it connects then hangs up.

here's some of /var/log/ppp.log -
Apr 28 14:10:50 confluent pppd[418]: not replacing existing default route to sl0 [0.0.0.0] 
Apr 28 14:10:50 confluent pppd[418]: Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP 
Apr 28 14:10:50 confluent pppd[418]: local  IP address 203.41.196.70 
Apr 28 14:10:50 confluent pppd[418]: remote IP address 203.41.196.4 
Apr 28 14:10:53 confluent diald[408]: Device ttyS0 is locked by pid 418 
Apr 28 14:10:53 confluent diald[408]: Couldn't find a free device to call out on. 

I looked up man diald, searched for pppd-options <arg1>
and there's the problem - in /etc/ppp/options, proxyarp is enabled,
when I disabled this option autodial started working.

Now I'm next setting up ipmasq, firewall and samba so I can autodial
out through my linux box from a small win95/98 network.
Do I need proxyarp ?
What does it do ?
