PLEASE HELP! Having now hired a dsl line at home, I connected two Pentium PCs at home with a notebook functioning as a gateway server for the internet connection with
'pon dsl-provider demand idle 60' command through a rudimentary firewall (and a sshd session). Setting up the server I thought:the simplest, the better! Therefore no diald by far more complicated than ppp on demand which I'd learned had been somewhat enhanced (it works fine at last, they say), pppoe, openssh, iptables, kernel 2.4.19, lynx, all for a mere 300 MB of disk space. Now the problem is that if I launch a "lynx www.debian.org" either from the server or from a client the ppp session starts immediatedly and all works fine. But, once closed lynx, ppp doesn't hang up but stays connected endlessly. Could you please suggest why this can happen and - above all - the steps, the tests I should carry out to make it work (please, straightforward explanation will be highly appreciated!)?
