I am having a problem with getting my PPP connection to route in version
1.2.13.
I am dialing into a Shiva box which supports PPP and trying to set up a
routed gateway to another network. I have an Ethernet network at home.
The problem I get is that when I connect, the pppd is creating a route to
host x.x.x.y
I then run the following command.
route add -net x.x.x.0 gw x.x.x.y
If I ping x.x.x.z, I get no reply. If I ping x.x.x.y I get a reply.
I believe that the Shiva box is giving me an end node address (ie a non
forwarding address). Therefore, the pppd should be sourcing the packet from
x.x.x.y to x.x.x.z in theory. However, from what I can tell, the pppd is
sending from a.a.a.b to x.x.x.y, hoping that x.x.x.y will forward the
address. Is that correct?
Is there a version of code that fixes this, if this is true?
I have even tried setting my local address and host address the same using
the command
pppd connect "chat -f file" 115200 x.x.x.q:x.x.x.q ....
