I am using freebsd machines for lan gateways to the internet. One of the things I would like to do in addition to just maintaining the dialup connection for the LAN is use the free disk space on the gateway machine for file serving. To do this, Samba is running and works fine for the most part. My problem is that whenever a computer on the network attempts to access files on the gateway machine, the dialup connection is activated and must connect completely prior to samba answering the win95 box's requests. Now I have attempted to restrict the Samba server to the ethernet interface only, but I suspect because I am using natd and issuing a ipfw divert statement, it is pushing that traffic over to the tun0 device and kicking the dialup. My question... how do I keep samba from initiating the PPP connection? It doesn't really need it... but it triggers it and waits for it all the same.
