Re: pppd on demand trouble

Greetings, all.
I'm running Woody on an old Pentium box as my
gateway/firewall/fileserver for my LAN here at Castillo del Lago (my
home). Life is good here, and I'm really enjoying Debian, but I'm kind
of stuck with the demand dialing thing.
If I comment out the "demand" and "persist" statements in
/etc/ppp/options and /etc/ppp/peers/provider, I can say "pppd call
provider" and the modem dials (and I post to the list asking for help).
are you getting a connection from the dial-up server or from onr of you
lan machines ?
I do get "tdb_store failed: IO Error," but the link comes up fine, and
here I am.

seems to be a samaba problem
If I uncomment "demand" and "persist," when I call pppd and then point
the browser of one of my masq'ed machines outside of my LAN, the Woody
box just sits there.
did you restart pppd ?
is the dial-up server a default gateway for the lan machines ?
Oh, I also have smbd running on the Woody box (shouldn't matter, I would
think.)
This is obviously a problem that has been solved, just not by me :-/
I don't know what else to toss out in the way of info for now, but will
cheerfully provide more if asked.
if it's still not working
send us the output of `ifconfig eth0` for both machines
and `ifconfig ppp0` for the dial-up server when pppd is running but the
line is down.
