Netatalk with asun's patches WELL outperforms appleshare 3 on any mac you
care to name. I can get about 700 K/sec on a P200MMX server.
It does some nice things like map appletalk printers to let you print to
them from linux and therefore from Samba clients.

Subject: Networking puzzle
Date: Wed, 31 Mar 1999 17:39:53 GMT
I am relatively new to linux, so be gentle...
That said...
I have successfully set up a simple home network.
I have a linux server with shares and a printer shared via samba.
PPP and IP Masquerading works fine so I can dial my ISP, and my attached Win98
PC can surf to it's hearts content. Telnet, ftp, etc., etc., all working
internally and externally. All relatively painless.
The puzzle... I recently installed diald, and all appeared to be working
fine. Then I noticed diald was dialing out approximately every 15 minutes.
I searched the news groups, and found that lots of people had the same
problem, and also found many recommendations for solutions.
I added "ignore" rules to the standard.filter file for netbios-ns,
netbios-ssn, and netbios-dgm for tcp and udp. This did not correct the
problem. Running diald in debug 1 mode told me that the service causing
diald to dial was "domain". Can't ignore domain requests... that's the first
thing your web browser sends out when requesting a web page.
I was able correct THIS problem by setting the linux system to be the "domain
master" in smb.conf.
But here is my situation.
I want to be able to dial in to my work network, and be able to browse the
network there. If I have my linux system set as the master browser, none of
the computers at work show up in Network Neighborhood. If I DON'T have the
linux box set up as master browser, I DO see all the computers at work AND my
linux shares and printer in Network Neighborhood.
BUT! As I stated before, if the linux box is NOT the master browser, diald
dials out every 15 minutes or so. I assume this is because my Win98 system
at home delegates itself to be the master browser, and being so, it sends out
some sort of "domain check" every so often which triggers diald.
I though I could get around this by having the linux box set as domain master
in smb.conf, and setting the os level. I read that an os level greater than
2 will beat a Win95 or Win98 machine, and an os level greater than 32 will
beat NT. The server at my work is an NT box, so I thought if I set the level
to say 4, the linux box would be the master browser while not connected to
work, but when I log in the NT box will take over and I will be able to see
the computers at work in Net Hood.
Is the master browser NOT dynamic like this? i.e. Once Windows has
established a master browser, can it not be changed until reboot.
If that is the case, then that would explain why I can browse both home and
work networks, if the Win98 machine is using itself as the master browser.
Is there a way to tell, from windows, who the master browser is?
Note: I am dialing directly from my Win98 PC into the network at work, not
from the linux system. But I can dial my ISP from linux and use Masqurade.
I just can't do both at the same time since the two systems are sharing a
phone line. One thing I have not tried is dialing in to work on the linux
system.
Looking for clues here... some sort of magic configuration I guess.
I think you can tell that I've done my homework here. Now I need the help of a
guru.

Which version of ypserv and ypbind are you using? The HOWTO is not specific
to RedHat, and I would suggest that you download the most recent RPM's from
RedHat. I had a similar problem... (New RedHat RPM's are also associated
with FAQ writer Thorsten Kukuk, but I guess there are some differences (or
the RPM install sets up something subtle that I missed).

Subject: HELP!!!! DNS And Samba Questions.....?!?!!?
Date: Wed, 31 Mar 1999 17:00:46 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
PLEASE E-MAIL THE ADDRESS BELOW WITH ANY HELP YOU COULD PROVIDE!!!!!
The Briefing:
I recently built a home network: 2 win95 pentiums, 1 RH Linux 486-100. Each
w/ an ISA 10B-T NIC going to a 3Com Hub. The network is working great, I play
Quake 2 on it regularly. This linux box have these purposes: WWW (intranet)
Server, FTP, DNS, and Samba Directory Sharing.
Problem One:
DNS Appears to be working. From install I've only edited the hosts file, and
the hosts.allow file and added entries for alias' of the Linux box, and
entries for the win95 machines. Kind of looks like this:
127.0.0.1 (local loopback default stuff)
192.123.123.1 dns.mydomain.com dns
192.123.123.1 www.mydomain.com www
192.123.123.2 demerson.mydomain.com demerson
192.123.123.3 mwallace.mydomain.com mwallace
>From ANY machine I can ping any other using the IP and get an instant
response. From Linux I can ping any machine using the "fully qualified
domain name" (demerson.mydomain.com) OR an alias (demerson) and get an
instant response. BUT... Here's the problem... Pinging FROM any other
(win95) machine using a FQDN or alias either takes an extremely long time to
return (one minute?) or waits and returns "Bad IP Address" Why is this
behaving so strangely?
QUESTION NUMBER TWO:
This evening I will be adding a second hard disk to the Linux box. First, I
can manage the install, partition, and format, but how do I have linux
automatically mount the disk upon boot up?
QUESTION NUMBER THREE:
Once installed, I want to share this new disk with everyone on the network
with no restrictions. By default, I noticed that Linux automatically shared
the home directory of the person who is logged on. (This is "Samba" right?)
Where do I specify that I want to share the new disk?
THANKS IN ADVANCE, ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED!
AGAIN, PLEASE E-MAIL RESPONSES TO ADDRESS BELOW....

Did you enable IP forwarding on vito?

I don't actually know if it is possible (I don't use AOL), but one way
to find out if it is feasible is to dial up using minicom (or some
other terminal program) and see if it gives you a login prompt. This
is just a start, though. If it gives you a prompt, then you may be
able to get in, assuming that they aren't using a proprietary PPP or
different protocol altogether.
Just a thought ... I really have no other idea.

hello all, this is what i am trying to do:
i have redhat linux (5.2) with 2.2.3 kernel compiled with GRE
i have scott cananians pptp client (latest ver i believe is 1.0.2)
i can connect to my isp with no prob. (this machine also boots nt, and with
same isp i can connect to my place of employs vpn) want to use linux though.
i have gotten to the point where i run scotts pptp and log messages say
i am CHAP verified, i then try to add the routing info which never seems
to work, i then timeout with errors about sending config requests.
i am not really knowledgeable in networking, my workplace vpn ip address
seems to be dynamic, so i am using the dn. I also think i should be adding
the routing info to the ppp1 device and not the ppp0 which my isp
connection is using. As near as i can tell I dont need anything else in the
kernel (masquerading ?)
Any Help appreciated, thanks, Hank

If pings are getting through at all, and you're using a basic ethernet setup, then
the problem is very likely hardware. Any chance that IP's are duplicated? Are you
using a switch that perhaps has funky port? Does your arp cache show the MAC
addresses that you're expecting to see?
Since the seem fine talking to the other machines, I'd be giving the evil eye to a
switch, if present. Failing that, what happens if you stick the offending box
behind of the others and have it pass through it (route or masq) before trying to
contact the trouble machine? That test would isolate some types of network
problems.

I've done this in two different ways:
a) For less that 16 ports, just buy any supported multiport card. Stick it in,
build your kernel, be happy.
b) For more than 16 ports, I rather have several terminal servers.
They have several serial ports (I've used ones having up to 32) and handle
incoming connections (direct or modem); these connections can be as dumb
as a serial terminal, or have PPP with PAP/CHAP authentication. Each
terminal server gets assigned an IP address and you put them in your
network.
So far, I've had excellent results.
