Subject: DNS problems using Win98/Sygate with RH5.2
Date: Sat, 27 Mar 1999 22:19:41 -0500
Last weekend I installed the Mandrake dist of Linux. It include KDE. The
install went without a hitch except for my network setup.
Here is what I have:
I have a peer to peer network with 2 Win98 boxes and one Linux box. One of
the Wintel boxes is hooked to my ISDN line and on it is installed Sygate.
Sygate is a software product that lets me share my ISDN connection. It runs
as a "service" on the Wintel box and is setup using DHCP protocol.
On my other Wintel machine running as the "client", I didn't have to
configure anything as the Sygate software automatically assigned IP and took
care of DNS. But I need to know what I need to set on the Linux box to get
it to work.
Right now on the Linux box, if I enter the IP of a web site, it will connect
to the site properly. But if I use the domain name, it times out. That tells
me the DNS is messed up somewhere.
The techs at Sygate told me all I need to set on the Linux box is an unused
IP address on my network and the DNS of my ISP. I've done both, but DNS is
still not working.
I'm pretty much a newbie to this Linux stuff, so if someone could step me
through what to look for, that would be really appreciated.

No problems at all - I'm using a 386 right now, and it works very
nicely for masquerading, etc... it's kind of pitiful for a web server
though - CGI runs like tar. :)
Just make sure you have about 8 megs of ram - less can work, but it
will be slow, and installations can be tricky with less.

The connection will typically only last for a few seconds before the
ppp server hangs up - it's expecting your ppp client to connect to it,
and so it gives up. If you stay in minicom, it would probably hang up
after a while as well.
If this is all that's happening, you just have to type the pppd
command faster! I suggest having it waiting on another virtual
terminal, so you can exit minicom and switch over and press enter
before it hangs up.

?? How can you telnet if the modem hangs up? I dont' understand you...
>p.s. Any tools in Linux like the Windows Diap-up Networking?
I've heard of some, but from what I've heard, they don't work all that
well... Lots of people seem to have trouble. Personally, I use
pppconfig (included with debian - I don't know about other distros).
It is a little tool to generate the scripts automatically, and you can
edit them afterwards if you want to customize it further - I've never
had to do that, though, except to make little changes to the modem's
init string.

Because you don't have a route for that one box, you have a route for the
entire network.
The first line of your routing table says that all machines whose ip range is
between 192.168.0.0 and 192.168.255.255 can be found on the local network
through eth0, without any routing.
The second line, says that any ip address between 127.0.0.0 and
127.255.255.255 are to be found on the loopback device lo.
The third line says that any other ip address is to be send to a router than
has the ip address 192.168.0.254.
If this is not correct, then you have some fixing to do.

It's not a question of permissions but configuring Apache 1.3.4
access.conf. This is a brute force way I used to get a certain
directory to list, I'm gonna go back and find the exact lines I need at
apache.org:
In /etc/httpd/conf/access.conf, place:
<Directory /home/user/public_html>
Options All
</Directory>
(Amend to match the directory you need...)
Reboot the server, of course.

I am using a system that I requested a local computer shop to build
for me and am quite happy with it, using primarily Linux (99%) and
Windows 98 when I must. I am using an AMD K6-2 processor with
no problem. Here is my setup:
AMD K6-3/350 MHz
128 MB DIMM SDRAM (single 10 ns stick)
1.44 MB Floppy
IDE CD-ROM
6.4 GB Seagate IDE 7200 RPM hard disk
Conner 2/4 GByte IDE Tape drive
Sound Blaster Sound card
8 MB Matrox Millenium II/G200 video card
21" KDS Monitor
Of course, processor speeds are higher now (they've even released
the AMD-K6 III chips now.
I find that establishing a rapport with a local vendor is a great way to
go.
Let him know up front that you plan to run Linux on it and make sure
he's willing to swap components if they don't work properly with Linux.
Linux has great device support, but I would suggest you check out the
linux hardware document *BEFORE* you buy to make sure you are
getting hardware that will work:

Small quibble, Paul. The first line says that all machines whose ip
range is between 192.168.0.0 and 192.168.0.255 can be found through eth0.
For your statement to be correct, the netmask would have to be 255.255.0.0.

Subject: laptop plip + dailout ppp with dynamic ip addressing: is there an elegant way?
Date: Sat, 27 Mar 1999 21:02:09 -0800
I managed to get plip configured to connect my two laptops with a
laplink cable through the parallel ports with the following:
/etc/hosts:
10.0.0.1 tp560e.my.org
10.0.0.2 tp560x.my.org
127.0.0.1 localhost
171.64.22.122 mail-csli.stanford.edu
/etc/HOSTNAME:
tp560e
I previously had ppp working, so I could send, fetch, and read mail on
my laptop using mh and sendmail (smail). After installing the plip
network, I can no longer fetch mail from the pop server on my dialout
ppp connections: "no route to host".
I can imagine writing some scripts that would substitute the local
dynamically assigned ip address for tp560e into /etc/hosts, though then
I couldn't do that and run the plip connection. Is there an elegant way
to set up both of these transient networking devices to work together?
Sorry for my ignorance--I've read HOWTO's, NAG sections, and scanned
previous mail on this list and elsewhere, but can't figure out a
workable solution for setting up the routes and devices. I have
experimented a little with a dummy device, but basically I'm just in the
dark. Advice appreciated.

That day has already come. Manufacturers have realized that winmodems are not
popular.
While perusing the local stores I have noticed that many manufacturers are not
placing "winmodem" on the front label anymore.. only on the "side data
sheet"....
Not only that, but two models, one a "windmodem" the other a "standard" modem
were only a couple of rows apart, with only a couple of lines on the side of the
box hinting that one was a winmodem ("win95/98/NT4.0 required. May not work with
other operating systems").
I can understand the frustration of many users since I (and IMNSHO I consider
myself to be a knowledgeable power user) had to "dig a little" to figure out
which were winmodems and which were "real" modems; its no wonder the average
user would not know the difference and go for the "better deal"....
Is it false advertising? dunno... but as they say: caveat emptor (or something
like that)...
So yes... A winmodem driver would be a good thing just so that we can say
"Linux supports most hardware, even those pesky winmodems"

Subject: How to send raw packet?
Date: Sun, 28 Mar 1999 05:11:30 GMT
For no RPLd available, I want to write one myself.
(It will my first daemon that support other protocol
except TCP/IP.)
RPL packet is in 802.2 frame.
The listen part of RPLd is easy, but I donnot know
how to send raw packet in 802.2 frame, I found the
kernel support 802.2, but I donnot know how to use.
Or, sending raw packet in the lowest level (ether
level) will be better choice for future development.
Is there any document/source available?
If anyone knows, please tell me, thanks.
BTW: If I can complete this program, I will share
the source with all.

I don't see why not, although I haven't done it myself.
I'm not sure about the IPX part though. Probably better to set up local
network as TCP/IP anyway.
