Dialup PPP config
Sorry for the off-topic post, but I sense that someone here knows the
answer. Feel free top reply via email only.
I am setting up dialup ppp for employees, so we're using old stuff - a
junk 486, an Equinox card from a defunct BBS, and 8 Prac PM288MT modems.
I decided to use Linux rather than BSDI so I'd have a clue as how to set
up the modems.
To my amazement, I can dialout from each modem, and I can dialin to each
modem and perform a generic login (no ppp). I was able to get Win95 to
dialin and login as well with DUN ... *BUT*, I cannot then access hosts
external to our network! In other words, I can access www.midco.net,
but not www.debian.org (the dial server is tesla.midco.net). I can't
imagine that this is a routing problem since I *can* access external
servers from the dial server itself, although my router knowledge is
slight. I'd guess it's some proxyarp weirdness?
I'm not going to post config files here and such since I've burned
enough bandwidth. If anyone has an idea or a helpful URL, or doesn't
mind getting some email about this, I'd appreciate it very much.
TIA,
