Re: [TCLUG:4167] DIALD & IP Forwarding
My experience with IP Forwarding and dial on demand is that
the first request triggers the modem to dial and connect, and that first
connection request almost always times out.
I'm thinking it is something to do with the time it takes for
the modem to dial, connect and establish a ppp connection...
I think that I wasn't using diald though. One of the
pppd packages had dynamic dialing, I just had to set up a confide file. I
think it was request-route, but I can't remember were it lives.

Has anybody had any luck setting
up a network with DIALD and IP Forwarding. I have got everything going
except for one small annoying problem. On the first connection with a
WINDOWS client. the first packet seems to get lost and the user is forced to
stop the request (either FTP, TELNET, HTTP) and start over again. the second
request runs fine. I have read the docs for DIALD and it seems that this is
ALWAYS going to be a problem if youy have a DYNAMIC IP with your provider.
There MUST be a way around this! Has anybody had any experience with this?
Should I maybe use something other that DIALD? I am not at 2.2 yet so I
cannot use IPCHAIN.
I am just looking for general info now, but if
someone wants to see my conf files, I will gladly send them.
Thanks,
Paul.
