Synopsis:
Basically, I am trying to use PPP over TCP to connect two machines, say A and
B, where A is the initiator and B is the receiver. When A connects to B, I
want A to make B its default router. It seems that ppp is able to
successfully negotiate IP Addresses and update the routing tables accordingly.
However, when I try to ping machine B (10.0.0.135) from A, an ICMP request is
sent, but no reply.
Basically, on machine A, I used the following command to connect:
ppp -background pppin
and on B
sitting on a port... ppp -direct pppin
Can you tell me why ppp seems to establish the link correctly, but then
everything falls to pieces. Oh yeah, I'm using FreeBSD 2.2.5!
Machine A's setup (similar to B, without changing of default route)
%more ppp.linkup
pppin:
delete 0
add 0 0 HISADDR
%inconfig -a
tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 10.0.0.136 --> 10.0.0.135 netmask 0xffffff00
%netstat -r
Routing tables
Internet:
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire
default 10.0.0.135 UGSc 1 0 tun0
10.0.0.135 10.0.0.136 UH 2 27 tun0
Thanks in advance,
Michael!
