Question Automating the dial up process


Hi guys

After weeks of trying i,ve managed to setup the ip forwarding to my windows box so I can now access the internet.

But now I have another problem.

I want to setup the internet access so when it receives a request it automatically dials my default connection, but i,m not sure how to do it.

I,ve tried the script in the how-to but it gives me the following message....

to use the demand command I must have a script

This I dont understand because I have 2 scripts called ip-up and ip-down using chap. Can anyone help me with this one??

btw this my option file as it stands at the moment

lock
noauth
noipdefault
userpeerdns

Thx guys

Hi guys

1. I have read the how-to, I thought I said that already, but if you could provide a link it may be a different one.

2. Thx for the suggestion ugge but I cant use wvdial because it uses PAP and my ISP uses CHAP. Thx anyway.

Thx guys

Hi again

OK i,ve found a command which runs kppp and dials a specified account as follows.

kppp -c BT

BT being the specified account.

Does anyone know of a way of getting IPCHAINS to detect an outgoing packet and run that command or a script?

Is this possible. I dont think ,I would be having this trouble if my ISP used PAP but as I said it uses CHAP and I cant write a chat script for it.

Thx guys
