[ale] Windows -> Linux dial out

[Gary Maltzen]

I sounds like you didn't have diald correctly configured.

Can we assume you have IP masquerade (or some variety of NAT or proxy)
running on your L-box?

Diald should create a default (0.0.0.0) route on connection and remove it on
hangup. If you have (improperly?) set up some other default route then this
will be 'trashed'. Your only static routes should be your intranet routing.

Im looking for a way for my girlfriend to be able to dial out from her
windows box over the network. I cant get diald to work, it just trashes my
route on startup, it dials out, but doesnt reset the route. At one point I
hacked the source of dialmon to execute my dialout script rather then talk
to diald through a fifo, but Ive since lost that. I have also tried
masqdialer, and it works ok, but for somereason it only brings the link
up, wont bring it down. Does anyone have any other suggestions for
something that can be used?
