[linux-dvb] EON and private IP

[Andrei Boros <andrei@srr.ro>]

 I saw some questions on how to use an EON account if you are behind a
firewall with a private IP. 

 First, EON uses your IP address (in this case the IP address of the
masquerading firewall) to send data to you. DVBD will create a filter so it
retrieves only the data addressed to the MAC address which has 2 predefined
bytes and the rest are the bytes of your IP address. 

 You will have to edit dvbd.c and find the section where it takes the IP
address it detects from the network device configured for internet use
(usually ppp0, but whatever your case is here) and change those lines such
that you manually set in the source the IP address of your masquerading
firewall to be mapped into the MAC filter. 

 Of course, this assumes you know the firewall's IP address, and this IP 
is static.
