I have a working IP-MASQ in my home, including a ppp dialup on demand. Installed on a RH5 machine. The problem is, it sometimes starts by itself (probably because some packet is traveling on my LAN and the linux wants to route it outside). For example, if I telnet my linux machine (even if I telnet by IP) it first dials up, and only then connects me. So I was wondering: 1. do the stations (the WinXX computers) need to have the DNS configured to the outside DNSes? ( I configured their DNSes to be DNSes the Linux use. Maybe I should've put my linux machine as their only DNS?) 2. Is there a way to see the *reason* why the ppp connection was initialized (e.g. why request_route was executed)? 3. should there be anything special in request_route? I just used the one from the diald howto. ...any other ideas? -- ------------------------- Aviram Jenik "The Only Difference Between Me And a Madman Is That I Am Not Mad" G-Tek Technologies LTD. ------------------------- Today's quote: If I have seen far, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants. - Sir Isaac Newton
