Hello all, I have this problem: I have an HDSL frame relay connection and I should want to use a Cyclades PC300 serial card to connect the ISP DCE to my Mandrake MNF Box (instead of the WAN NIC and the HDSL router). I have a local LAN NIC defined as eth0 and the two PC300 WAN interfaces hdlc0 and pvc0 but I don''t know how to declare these last interfaces inside shorewall (eventually via the MNF web interface). Someone can help me? Thanks and regards Guido DEMARIN

A quick look at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/net/hdlc/ ---- ifconfig hdlc0 up ifconfig pvc0 localIP pointopoint remoteIP In Frame Relay mode, "ifconfig" master hdlc device "up" (without assigning any IP address to it) before using any pvc devices. ---- It would appear that pvc0 would be the interface that you would need to define in the interface file, and the hdlc0 interface would be treated the same way as an ethX interface in a pppoe setup, just ignored.

If Jerry''s response didn''t solve your problem, please keep the discussion on the list and post the output of "ip addr ls" so that those of us that have never dealt with a serial card under Shorewall (which is all of us, I suspect) can have some idea of how the card manifests itself under Linux. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool Shoreline, \ http://shorewall.net Washington USA \ teastep@shorewall.net PGP Public Key \ https://lists.shorewall.net/teastep.pgp.key
