For the connection to be terminated just before the next charge unit is due,
enable ‘ChargeHUP’. However, remember that may not work with every
ISP. You can also enable channel bundling (multilink PPP) by selecting the
corresponding check box. Finally, you can enable SuSEfirewall2 for your
link by selecting ‘Activate Firewall’.
‘Details...’ opens a dialog in which to implement more complex connection
schemes. Leave this dialog by selecting ‘Next’.
In the next dialog, make IP address settings. If you have not been given
a static IP by your provider, select ‘Dynamic IP address’. Otherwise, use
the fields provided to enter your host’s local IP address and the remote IP
address according to the specifications of your ISP. If the interface should
be the default route to the Internet, select ‘Default Route’. Each host can
only have one interface configured as the default route. Leave this dialog
by selecting ‘Next’.
The following dialog allows you to set your country and to select an ISP.
The IPSs included in the list are call-by-call providers only. If your ISP is
not in the list, select ‘New’. This opens the ‘Provider Parameters’ dialog in
which to enter all the details for your ISP. When entering the phone num-
ber, make sure you do not include any blanks or commas among the digits.
Finally, enter your login and the password as provided by the ISP. When
finished, select ‘Next’.
To use ‘Dial on Demand’ on a stand-alone workstation, also specify the
name server (DNS server). Most ISPs support dynamic DNS, which means
the IP address of a name server is sent by the ISP each time you connect.
For a single workstation, however, you still need to provide a placeholder
address like 192.168.22.99. If your ISP does not support dynamic DNS,
specify the name server IP addresses of the ISP. If desired, specify a time-
out for the connection — the period of network inactivity (in seconds) after
which the connection should be automatically terminated. Confirm your
settings with ‘Next’. YaST displays a summary of the configured interfaces.
To make all these settings active, select ‘Finish’.
