Strange connections

Strange connections

[Rene Starneauld]

Hi,

I have a firewall with diald to establish connection on a RTC modem.
But when I do a telnet to my firewall on my local network, diald 
establishes a connection to my provider before connecting to my 
firewall. The same happens when I try to read newsgroup that are on my 
Firewall also via leafnode.

Is there something wrong with my route??

Any ideas, Thanks

dctrl menubutton colors

[J. Milgram]

First, many thanks to the diald authors - I've been using it for a few
years with great success.

Now, a question I haven't been able to resolve from the docs: I
recently installed a fresh system, with tcl/tk 8.3, then installed
diald-1.0 (previously: 0.99.x). diald works fine as always, but I
notice the check buttons in the dctrl menubuttons don't change color
when toggled. The buttons do seem to function as intended, properly,
but obviously without the status colors one can't look to see if it's
forced up or down, etc.

Anyone else run into this? Is this an app-defaults thing? Any tips?
Would appreciate any advice, even a pointer to the right place in the
docs :)

thanks

I don't see this with diald-1.0's dctrl.
I'm running Red Hat7.3 which has  tcl/tk-8.3.3   

You could check your tcl-tk installation.

All my hostsnames are on both servers with the right address.
By the way, a cennection is established when I type the "route" command 
on the firewall.
Can this help?

Hi,

Sounds more like a reverse DNS lookup, try typing route -n and see of that also brings up the link, if it doesn't then you need to set up reverse lookups for your IPs.

OK, route -n does not bring up the link, then I must set up reverse DNS 
lookup, thats fine but how do I do that.
Thanks

Add all your internal hostnames and their ip addresses to /etc/hosts

Every ip which you can see with route -n?
You even need the ip of the tun|tap|sl interface, both the remote and the local part.
