Problem: PPP client cannot connect to internet - sees only the peer
I have a Digital Alpha 400S running Digital Unix 4.0 and have succedeed in
getting it to accept ppp connections via the modem port tty00. I have
created a user "ppp" so that on login it runs the pppd daemon with options
taken from the ".ppprc" file. The "options" file in /etc/ppp contains
nothing, while the contents of ".ppprc" are as follows:
-detach
local
crtscts
lock
123.45.678.123:123.45.678.124
proxyarp
Here "123.45.678.123" is the address I have chosen as the IP address of the
local serial port (tty00) and "123.45.678.124" is my choice of the IP
address of the client's machine. The ethernet IP address of the Alpha is
"123.45.678.1".
With this setup, the client can run ppp successfully, but HE CAN ONLY ACCESS
THE ALPHA. In otherwords, the client cannot see the outside world.
Forthermore, the Alpha can ping his address (124), but CANNOT PING THE TTY00
ADDRESS (123). The ARP table only lists the client address when ppp is
running, not 123.
So, what must I do to allow the client to access the internet and not just
the Alpha?
Many thanks,
Luis Balona
