I'm trying to setup a ppp dialup server on Linux (2.0.29)/
Debian 1.3 and am having problems.
I want a Win95 machine to be able to dialup into my linux box and
access the Internet through the linux box which is connected to a
router (internet).
I am able to get the modems to connect and I can ping the win95
machine from linux and the Win95 machine can ping my ethernet port.
However, I can't get the win95 machine to ping the router. So, the
Win95 machine cannot access the Internet (web,etc.), or anything
beyond the Linux machine.
Is this an IP forwarding problem? I'm not sure if I have IP
forwarding turned on or not. How can I tell? What does IP forwarding
do anyway? I know I can access the Internet from the Linux box w/ no
problems. I used debian to install everything so I can't find any
source files around for the kernel to see if IP forwarding was turned
on or not. Does this mean I have to use "kernel-package_VVV_all.deb"
to build a custom kernel??? I'm confused.
Here's my setup:
----------
Internet |
----------
|
|
|
-----------------------
Router: 208.128.204.1 |
-----------------------
|
|
|
----------------------------
eth0: 208.128.204.2 |
|
Linux Box |
|
ttyS1 serial port: |
208.128.204.3?? |
----------------------------
|
|
-----------------
208.128.204.4 |
Win95 machine |
-----------------
Does the serial port need its own ip? Does it have to be a real IP or
can it be a private one?
In my options.ttyS1 (setup for dynamic IP addressing) file I have:
208.128.204.3:208.128.204.4
Is this right? Or, should it be the ethernet (.2) or router (.1)
address instead of (.3 serial port). I've tried all three, and it
doesn't seem to matter. When I used .1 (router) address I think my
linux box got locked out of the router (couldn't ping the router from
linux). I still can't access the Internet via the WIn95 machine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Everything's been pretty much
setup based on reading the PPP howto, mgetty stuff, and serial howtos.
Going Bonkers,
Chris
