25.5 Internetlinks dialed on demand
If an on-demand dial-up link is used (see chapter 6.2), consider specific behavior of this con-
nection type. If the network and/or the firewall are not configured correctly, the link may stay
hung-up even if the local network sends requests for Internet connection or it may be dialed
unintentionally.
Information provided in this chapter should help you understand the principle and behavior
of on-demand dial-ups and avoid such problems.
How demand dial works
First, the function of demand dial must be activated within the appropriate line (either perma-
nently or during a defined time period — see chapter 6.2).
Second, there must be no default gateway in the operating system (no default gateway must
be defined for any network adapter). This condition does not apply to the dial-up line which is
used for the Internet connection — this line will be configured in accordance with information
provided by the ISP.
