I have a firewall server running SuSE 7.1. I want to add an modem so that remote traveling sales people can login and use our network resorces and also prevents us from having to have an ISP for dialup. I have got the dail-in stuff most of the way working. I can dial up the server, connect, access the internet. I can not access any of the systems (other than the dial-up server) on the internal network though. I checked the firewall, the users should have unlimited network permissions since I couldn't get it to work I decided to go from a nothing to something routine, I checked the firewall logs. They do not show any items for when I try to connect to the internal network. Does anyone have any suggestions on why I can't do anything including ping the sytems. Thank you for your help. -- __ __ ____ ____ | \/ |/ ___/ ___| Austin Morgan | |\/| | | \___ \ Morgan Computer Services | | | | |___ ___) | (501) 857-1189 |_| |_|\____|____/ www.mcs.tzo.com

There seems to be some problem with routing on your dial-up server. What kind of IP address do you clients get on dial-up? You might check the routing table with route -n command after your client connects. -Kastus

Kastus, My clients get a static IP due to the fact that there is only one modem for dialin and it is easier to keep up with one ipaddress than worrying about giveing the same address to two things. I checked my routing and you are right it is wrong. It says my adpater has a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255, when it has a subnet of 255.255.255.0. My connecting compter reports that it has a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 though any suggestions about what might be going wrong? -- __ __ ____ ____ | \/ |/ ___/ ___| Austin Morgan | |\/| | | \___ \ Morgan Computer Services | | | | |___ ___) | (501) 857-1189 |_| |_|\____|____/ www.mcs.tzo.com
