If I understand the Diald (Dial on Demand) sets up a proxy (TAP0) and when there is traffic detected it uses ppp0 to connect. Now Id like to set Shorewall up so this works. I tried putting the TAP0 in interfaces in place of PPP0 it did dial, but I couldnt do anything on either the server or client (which made sense after I thought about it). I looked at proxyarp but wasnt sure if that was the route to go on. Diald does add TAP0 as the default route. And when I try to connect Shorewall does drop the packets. Has anyone gotten this to work, or have any tips on what to do? TIA Kev -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Yea, Shorewall blocked traffic on TAP0 like I figgured it should.> If I understand the Diald (Dial on Demand) sets up a proxy (TAP0) and when > there is traffic detected it uses ppp0 to connect. > Now Id like to set Shorewall up so this works.
