Hello All,
I recently changed my work dialin line to a FreeBSD box. I've used
mgetty and user-PPP and it's all working well (accepting and creating
the connection).
I'm having trouble getting packets through from my end and the server.
The IP on the server end of the tun0 device is 192.168.5.1 and the local
machine is 192.168.5.2
Once I've dialed up, I can't ping the other end. I think it's a
firewalling thing that I seem to have broken.
Mgetty calls a shell script (which calls ppp) through AutoPPP:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/sbin/ppp -direct pap$IDENT
Now, what should I be doing to get the server doing NAT for data that I
send? I want to be able to access the network (to which the sever is
connected). It's an out-of-the-box FreeBSD 4.3 machine. I've not
recompiled the kernel.
Can anyone offer any suggestions? I'm having to use my overtly expensive
ISP to send this mail. It costs a fair bit for a day's usage :-(
