Hi all,

i had configured my dial in server as per the information given in teh sites like


i am keeping before u the files to which i had made changes.

file /etc/inittab

added a line like
7:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -D /dev/ttyS0

file /etc/ppp/options.server

contents are

-detach
asyncmap 0
modem
crtscts
lock
proxyarp
netmask 255.255.255.0


file /etc/ppp/options

192.168.100.1:192.168.100.95

added a line as below to /etc/bashrc so that after a user logs in and issues a command ppp the pppd starts as i am not using PAP .

permissions for the pppd file as are below

-rwsr-x--x root root pppd

i had enabled the ip forwarding in etc/sysconfig/network saying

FORWARD_IPV4=yes

echo "1" > /proc/net/ip_forward


but the thing is i dont need to connect to the internet for making dial up to teh remote system as i am using a internal telephone network present in between the two linux servers.



hope someone could suggest to make the dialip work.



waiting for the earliest response.
regards,
kris
