possible solution to mRouter failing...
Authored by: schwa23 on Jun 18, '03 03:17:13PM
I'm not sure ... we've also been exploring this on the Apple Discussion boards:

here

Maybe some of that info will help. One thing I've noticed is that if you've already got an mRouter or PPPD connection started, a subsequent one will fail. try

ps auxww | grep mRouter 
And kill all the running mRouter processes and try again.

Good luck, and let us know your findings!

possible solution to mRouter failing...
Authored by: rouet on Jun 19, '03 02:51:55AM

i need to launch one or more times mRouter before it correctly works (iSync lanch it always correctly, mystery)
the apple forum provide all the solution (except the dns resolution, and an cpu problem, mRouter uses all the machine cpu)

see the list of commands i try :
/System/Library/SyncServices/SymbianConduit.bundle/Contents/Resources/mRouter -a 00-0a-d9-5d-50-3e -t 30 -p800
sudo /usr/sbin/sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
sudo /usr/sbin/natd -alias_address 10.0.1.3 -interface en1 -use_sockets -same_ports -dynamic -clamp_mss
sudo /sbin/ipfw add divert natd ip from any to any via en1

it works with ip address (no dns resolution) and opera

to stop it i type
sudo /sbin/ipfw -f flush
sudo killall natd
sudo /usr/sbin/sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=0
sudo killall mRouter

why the mRouter run under root account ? (iSync launch it under my account)
why we don't have any DNS resolution ?

that is the questions ?
