Re: IP-masquerading & rplayd



Hi Peter,

always a delight to hear from you !

But how do I DEBUG those things ? MS has no debugging, OK. But Linux ??

Yup, the guy is very please with Linux (except for stuff not working)

Peter, I know exactly how diald works (I read all its docs). The problem
is not related to diald, but to packets not beeing transferred from eth0
to sl0 (or ppp0 for that it matters), even though I have a defaultroute
set to the device (sl0,ppp0). 

Can this be a kernel thingy not to route stuff from private networks ?

Yeah, tried once to set it up, never go the script to be run (I did all
the howtos etc). Then i ditched it again.

Says so in the diald doc :-)
