c) Make SURE IP forwarding is turned on in your system ( On Redhat 5.x,
make sure that
NETWORKING=yes
FORWARD_IPV4="yes"
in /etc/sysconfig/network
d) put the options in the /etc/ppp/options file
eg
nodetach
noauth
proxyarp
idle 1800
noauth means the outside user is to use standard login authentication,
not PAP or CHAP, proxyarp is so that other machines know that yours is
where to send packets to for the remote machine, idle 1800 is to
disconnect after 1800 sec of no activity.
(Do not run AutoPPP in mgetty if you are using noauth)
(If you want AutoPPP-- ie ppp starts up on receipt of a ppp negotiation
packet from the remote end immediately after a connection is made-- then
you must set up PAP or CHAP authentication)

1. How to set up RH Linux 6.1 box for dial-in ppp access?
I have a small network with several windows and linux boxes. I use
private ip (192.168.x.x) addresses on all of the boxes, and I connect
all of the boxes to the internet through a dial-up modem attached to
the linux box. What I would like to do, now, is to be able to connect
to my network by dialing into the modem attached to the linux box. At
this point, I don't think the modem will answer the phone, so
something needs to be changed, there, and also, I need the linux box
to assign an ip address to the dialing-in computer (or, since it is
going to be one of the windows boxes that is normally connected
through my network, maybe I can just use the static 192.168.x.x
address that it normall has. In any case, I want it to be tied to my
network through a dial-up ppp connection just like it is connected
when it is in its docking station with its ethernet.
TIA,
Ed
