by Hi all,
I have installed RH8.0 and configured rp-pppoe properly and everything
runs OK.
Since I realized that 3.4.7 is quite different from the one that I am
using in RH7,2 in terms of; it doesn't /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf, it creates
a file call ifcfg-ppp0 in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ and also,
since during adsl-setup, it already ask if you want it to activate in
startup, I can't configure it in ntsysv anymore.
From the about things, I feel curious about the latest version 3.5-1
and then I download the RPM and installed. And what I found is that it
runs in the way back in RH7.2, which means, it creates the pppoe.conf
file (which is useless, because RH8 still reads ifcfg-ppp0 in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/). And it doesn't create the entry in
ntsysv. So everything configured in 3.5-1 was useless ! And it brings
a more serious question. I don't know why from now on, when I boot up
my linux server, even though it connects the internet already, but my
NAT clients cannot go to the internet........... I run ifconfig -a, it
shows up ppp0's information and I tried to ping the internet address,
it works ! Does it mean that the masquerading fails ??? But wait a
sec, after I stop the adsl and runs it again, my clients starts to
connect............. what do you think ???
Please give some advice. Thanks.
