Dial into Linux to access Internet through high speed connection

Post by ufg8.. » Sun, 31 Dec 1899 09:00:00



I have a Linux box connected to the Internet through a DSL line.  I have
set up mgetty so that I can dial into my Linux box and log on.  Can I
set up Linux so that I can access the Internet through the DSL
connection on my Linux box when I dial in from outside my office using a
Windows machine?

Thanks for any help.

Yes, just don't try to use the defaultroute pppd option on the dialin
server (but you should use it on the remote).  That is the only way my
boss can get on the internet from home.  He dials into our office LAN in
Illinois connected by frame relay to a Linux box our factory in California
which is connected by DSL to the internet.  I use a modem on a Cisco
router for the dialin, but it worked as well with a Linux box with mgetty
for the dialin ppp server.

1. administartion of a high speed internet access

Hello,

I'm using a linux server running red hat 6.0 to share an ADSL (bell
sympatico hse) connection on a local network.

To start the service I have to launch /usr/local/bin/start-pppoe... The
problem is that I  can start this programme only when I'm root... I would
really appreciate to be able to start it using an other user... I have tried
to change the permission but I think there is something that I don't
understand...

The error message is (when using an other user) :
SIOCSIFADDR: Permission non accorde (permission denied)
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Permission non accorde
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Permission non accorde
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Permission non accorde
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Permission non accorde

Could not open pcap because "socket: Opration non permise (operation not
allowed)".
/usr/sbin/pppd: Can't open options file /home/colloc_toasteur/.ppprc:
Opration
non permise

What do I have to do...

Thanks for your time
