Title: sudo-isp
Post by: Peter Side on September 19, 2003, 10:45:48 PM

Hi,

Does anyone know how to create a sudo-isp environment that will enable sharing
a high-speed bandwidth by dial-up to a SME server.

I would like to share my DSL connection with my friends. I set up a
server/gateway SME and a server only SME behind the server/gateway. The
server only is getting Internet from the gw. The gw is connected to a adsl high speed Internet.

Would like to provide Internet browsing service to friends dialin my server.

Thank
Peter Side

There is or was a contribution for this that worked well. I still use it from time to time.

I gave enough clues that should have led the reader to the HOWTO pages. There, after a very brief perusal one would find the following link;

I already tried this one.  It does not give you access to Internet browsing.  Only access to a shell...

Have another go - it will do exactly what you need.

If I remember rightly - the server only machine doesnt enable routing by default. You will need to switch it on.

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

Hi Duncan,

I did it and when I tried to connect I get the message error 619 port specified not open and it hangs up.

Heres what I did

1.   Put this line pppd /dev/ttyS0 115700 crtscts  in /etc/rc.d/rc.local

2.   I create a user in /etc/passwd the line looks like this one
peter:x:  504:503 Peter Side: /tmp: /etc/ppp/ppplogin
This adds the user and give a temporary file to operate from /tmp

3.  Write a file called ppplogin in /etc/ppp/ppplogin

#!bin/sh
mesg -n
stty -echo
exec /sbin/pppd crtscts modem passive auth

I did create a user with chap security and still cant connect.

The client is win 2000

/etc/ppp/chap-secrets

# client   server   secret   IP adresse

  peter   main   xxxxx    195.168.1.70

Somethings wrong somewhere...

Thank you Mark,

I'm using SME 5.6 wich dialin have you used in the past.  Is it suitable for 5.6 ?

Just letting you know by doing so, that you are becoming legally liable for any matters that happen across your network.

Hi,
Peter, did you ever get this working with 5.6?
I have tried several times and have never even managed to get the modem to pick up!
I see that you have done a number of things that are not mentioned in the howto, why and did it make any difference.
I have found I can interegate my modem (an external type) using miniterm with no problems and can dial out manually. If I send the AT command to set the modem to auto answer then it picks up but then nothing.
Any advice on this is much appreciated.
