pppd won't ever hangup, unless i set the idle timer under 30 seconds, because earthlink is sending some broadcast packet every 30 seconds. i want to set the idle timer more like 5 minutes.
how can i tell pppd to ignore those packets? or will a different dialer program do better? here's those packets (as logged by iptables) (what are they for, anyway?): Apr 28 21:50:30 ruby kernel: ipdrop(224 broadcast) IN=ppp0 OUT= MAC= SRC=209.244.189.82 DST=224.0.0.1 LEN=28 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=1 ID=46444 PROTO=2 Apr 28 21:51:00 ruby kernel: ipdrop(224 broadcast) IN=ppp0 OUT= MAC= SRC=209.244.189.82 DST=224.0.0.1 LEN=28 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=1 ID=7278 PROTO=2 Apr 28 21:51:30 ruby kernel: ipdrop(224 broadcast) IN=ppp0 OUT= MAC= SRC=209.244.189.82 DST=224.0.0.1 LEN=28 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=1 ID=23407 PROTO=2 Apr 28 21:52:00 ruby kernel: ipdrop(224 broadcast) IN=ppp0 OUT= MAC= SRC=209.244.189.82 DST=224.0.0.1 LEN=28 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=1 ID=42352 PROTO=2 _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
