Hi There,

I have a linux RH5.2 server as as internet firewall running ip masquerade
samba
and diald, this is all working fine with 2 win95 machines sharing the modem
on the server using dial on demand to my isp.
The problem I have is that diald wont disconnect the connection after I have
finished with the internet,  I
have noticed that there is a constant flash of the rcd light on the modem.
So I looked into the packets that are being sent to my modem.
I used tcpdump  to view the packet infomation and log it to a file.
here is a portion of the data.

As you can see it is coming from my isp acay.com.au, why is this happening
and how can it
be stopped, my diald program will not function and does not know when to
terminate the link if there are constant packets being transmitted to my
server. Is this a problem with my isp ? does anyone know what the packets
mean ? and is
it possible to filter them so diald will hang up the modem when i'm finished
with the link.

Yet another Question if thats ok,
When I then have to terminate diald with exec /etc/rc.d/init.d/diald stop of
just turn off the modem,
about 5 minutes after that diald starts to reconnect again, is this the way
it is supposed to work ?
Then I have to turn the modem off again !! and again it tries to dial when I
switch the modem back on !
The only way I can get it to listen without constantly dialing is by
uninstalling the rpm and then
reinstalling. All is fine untill I access the internet again and it wont
hang up, then I go through the same
problem again.

I know this is alot to take in but would anyone with more expirence at this
than me care to give me
some advice, I really want this to work !

Thanks               Rick Ashton.

Thanks in Advance.    Rick Ashton.
