Feel free to set followups appropriately. I'm running ppp on a -current system (12/7/2000 vintage) named `moran'. I'm using it as a gateway for small in-home network (a couple of windoze boxes and a laptop running -stable), and I have NAT enabled. ppp is started automatically at boot as follows: /usr/sbin/ppp -quiet -auto -nat mintel Here's the appropriate part of ppp.conf: mintel: allow users rjk set openmode active 5 set phone 1234567 set timeout 2700 set socket /var/tmp/internet "" set authname a set authkey b deny lqr disable lqr set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 delete all add default HISADDR enable dns In ppp.linkdown, I have: mintel: iface clear I'm using 10.1.0.0/24 internally, and moran is also running dhcpd and samba. Everything is working fine, except (you knew there'd be an except, right?:) the windoze boxes on my local network can't find the samba server on moran immediately after moran reboots. After some experimenting with config files and playing with ethereal, I think I know what's going on but I don't know what to do about it. If I don't put "10.0.0.1 localhost" in /etc/hosts, rebooting is very slow; I have to wait for ppp to make a connection before sendmail gets going. If I add it to /etc/hosts I don't have to wait on sendmail but I have problems with nmbd. With the above configuration for ppp, ifconfig always shows 2 IP addresses associated with tun0. Immediately after boot, it looks like (for example): tun0: flags=8051 mtu 1514 inet 10.0.0.1 --> 255.255.255.255 netmask 0xffffffff inet 63.xx.xx.13 --> 63.xx.xx.2 netmask 0xff000000 Opened by PID 115 After I lose my connection for whatever reason (which normally happens at least 3 or 4 times a day with our local telephone service :() ppp automatically redials and reconnects. After this happens, ifconfig would show: tun0: flags=8051 mtu 1514 inet 63.xx.xx.13 --> 255.255.255.255 netmask 0xffffffff inet 63.xx.xx.47 --> 63.xx.xx.2 netmask 0xff000000 Opened by PID 115 The 10. address is gone, my last address is still there but points to 255.255.255.255, and my new address is fine. ethereal shows that nmbd is saying it lives at 10.0.0.1. If I kill nmbd and restart it after having lost and remade my ppp connection, everything is fine. Note that this only affects nmbd. Browsers and ssh work just fine. Have I got something misconfigured? Should ppp be keeping my last IP address around like that? Sorry for the length of this message. Any comments and/or suggestions?
