Hey,
I've been experiencing a strange problem now and then with these programs on
my FreeBSD 3.4R box.
I connect via PPPoE to the net using "ppp -nat -ddial MYISP" and
everything's all good.
In my ppp.linkup file I first kill any running socks5 daemons and then run
socks5 as a normal user, so that when I irc, I get that userid as the ident
response. ICQ from my winbox also runs fine.
Once in a while, I get disconnected from MYISP. ppp reconnects nicely, the
socks5 daemon is restarted and everything goes on as it should....almost.
While I can do almost anything (www, mail, news, etc), it appears that
anything related to the socks5 daemon doesn't work. IRC and ICQ from my
winbox won't work. The programs will just continuously try to connect to
the server with no avail. With IRC I can connect to servers, which don't
require an ident response. Normally I can when everything is running fine.
Here's the strange part:
If I manually kill and restart ppp, everything works fine again!
Something about reconnecting in ppp and the socks5 daemon just don't mix and
I can't figure out what.
If anyone can shed any light on this I'd be grateful.
Thanks,
- Will
