Not sure what you mean , earlier you sugested to use the real address
in the news reader, are you saying I should use IPTABLEs on stations to
DNAT to the server and there DNAT to the real address?
Not knowing your network's topology I thought it was your "modem server"
which is where your newsreader runs. Now that I know better, I'd rather
suggest you'd specify your modem server as gateway to the newsservers.
I am sorry, I should have said "hardware router" in the third paragraph.
No, nowhere that simple a setup, there would be no reason to fiddle
iptables at all, and probably not even the parts of my question relating to taking action when ppp goes up and down. One note about ip-up, ip-down scripts , I don't believe they are being executed in slackware.
My shell script doesn't run nor do I see any change when I change the
IP address messages. I think I may have read that ip-up does not run
when script method is used , but I tried PAP and it aborts before the modem even tries to dial. Does PAP require me to make the connection first with MINICOM or is PAP and script not mutualy exclusive?
I gave up on having machines in a string ( or actually linux router) when I got DSL a year ago,
so I have 3 or 4 machines connected to the hardware netgear router
and DSL modem, one of them w2K (what I really use as the serious
workstation). The other linux box (PIII 800 192...5) is my workstaion
with KDE and terminal to 192...6, where I do testing from.
Since the DSL provider doesn't have news , I kept the
dialup account. Both the windows and linux box have a modem, so up to
this point I have used the w2k to access the the dialup by disabling the
nic and dialing out , letting windows handle all the re-routing
information ( it's own default gateway, this only works seamlessly after some updates are downloaded when you installed windows connected to the router and internet.)
So I am trying to use the linux box as access point to NNTP at least
untill I come across some software with good documentation that
can duplicate the ISPs NEWS functions. That way I wont have to
redownload some large newsgroups such as sci.electronics.design
over the 44Kbs modem connection when netscape hangs or another cause
forces me to shutoff while NEWS reader is open. %^%$# netscape doesn't
flush after it's done downloading each group only when you close the
app, but it does store in text format and does not rewrite the files,
rather appends.
OPPS TOO MUCH OFF TOPIC
So as I mentioned , I tried to enter route to the ISP news server
through my linux box ( with modem ) under static routes section of
the netgear router setup, but it does not seam to work, therefore I am
stuck with using the boxes (local ) IP as the news server.
