typical DSL image with ez-ipupdate

This image is based on floppyfw-2.0.4-1680K-pppoe.img.

• floppyfw-2.0.4-1680k-pppoe-dyndns.img

I applied the following changes:

• changed internal network to 192.168.1.255 and INSIDE_IP to 192.168.1.254 - I don't like class-A nets at home
• dhcp is activated, leases are from *.100 to *.200
• smtp, http, https, imaps and ssh are forwarded to the Machine called
• added ez-ipupdate, version 3.0.11b8
• DEBUG_LOG="/dev/ttyS0" because I don't have a graphics adapter installed im my firewall

Do it yourself

Configuration

Here are the steps:

• grab floppyfw-2.0.4-1680k-pppoe-dyndns.img
• fdformat /dev/fd0u1680 or look out for rawrite.exe if you have a MS box.
• dd if=floppyfw-2.0.4.img of=/dev/fd0u1680
• mount /dev/fd0u1680 /mnt

instead of mounting the floppy, you can also first mount the image to apply the configuration changes:

• mount floppyfw-2.0.4-1680K-pppoe-dyndns.img /mnt -o loop=/dev/loop0,rw

• edit syslinux.cfg
  • configure / enable serial console (no graphics adapter installed in my firewall)

• edit config
  • set USER_IDENT=username and USER_PASSWORD=password
  • set if no graphics adapter is installed

• edit modules.lst
  • pick your favourite NIC. I use two 3c509.

• edit packages/post-ez-ipdupdate.ini
  • change the SERVICE from "null" to "dyndns" or some other services supported by ez-ipupdate
  • change the other parameters accordingly

• edit firewall.ini
  • change SERVER_IP to your server
  • change the forwarded services according to your wishes
  • add iptables -I INPUT -s 192.168.1.13 -j DROP before the iptables -L line if you don't want a special machine (192.168.1.13 in this example)to have access to the internet
