Hello,
I am using the on demanding pppd (2.3.9), dhcpd and samba (2.0.6) to
allow our LAN users to share the ISP line. I notice that the pppd will
activate an connection to the ISP (in down status) when there is traffic
within the LAN. I would like to limit it to if there is outgoing request
to the internet (e.g. run netscape at Win98), there should be a request
for the connection to the ISP. I use active-filter-in option in the peers
scripts. Any idea on how to limit it to outgoing to internet case? Thanks.
Clarence
