I currently have Red Hat Linux 5.2 operating on a Pentium 350. I am
connected to the internet via an @Home cable modem attached to my
ethernet card. I have a 486 and a Pentium 133 laptop I would like to run
as a local network, and be able to access my internet connection from
any of the computers. I'm fairly new at using Linux, and I've never set
up a network before. I understand that I can purchase additional DNS
numbers from @Home, and connect the three computers to the cable modem
via an Ethernet hub. Is this the best setup? Is this a bad idea,
considering the security issues with cable modems? How would I go about
configuring Linux to be able to do this? Any help anyone could provide
me on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Chris.

OK I stand corrected. Thank you for your rather terse explative.
In any case I used to run about 80 of these external jet direct jobs. I used
bootp. This method was easy and fast.
I can provide details on how to do this if you like.
As far as the windows config is concerned Hannes is right it should work.
But in my experience I never grew to rely on it. Perhaps it will do what it
is supposed to do for you.

Why ? If you setup the box as a router, then that's what I'd expect
the networking layout to be looking like. Otherwise, how is your box
supposed to define what packets to be sending where ?

Yes, but if you're dialing in with win95 check

for potential problems. Once these are fixed I was able to get
win95 users to dial in to linux and have ipx access to Netware, etc

The current maximum file size on 32-bit machines is 2GB. The 64-bit

There wasn't a year ago. Then the expectation was that larger files for

Have you checked the registry? (See below)
Q. How can I disable the "Save Password" option in dial-up
networking?
A. When you connect via RAS you can cache the password. If you feel
this is a security problem then you can disable the option to
enable the password to be saved.
Start the registry editor (regedit.exe)
Move to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\RasMan\Parameters
>From the Edit menu select New - DWORD value
Enter a name of DisableSavePassword and press ENTER
Double click the new value and set to 1
If you disable the "save password" make sure "redial on link
failure" is not activated as one redial attempts as it does not
save user information it will attempt to connect as Administrator
which will not work (unless the ISP has very poor security :-) ).

I can't begin to express how incredibly frustrating this is for me. I'm a
Linux newbie who has accomplished some very basic things so far: I've
recompiled a kernel, gotten X and sound to work on an IBM Thinkpad 310ED and in
general been impressed with the stability and performance of Linux (RH 5.2) but
I've run into a problem that no one in the comp.os.linux.setup newsgroup could
help with: some files will not download, no matter what method I try to
download them. Other files, often from the same site, download without any
problems at all. Activity ceases on the download, but other TCP/IP packets fly
right through. Can anyone help me?
About my setup: Kernel 2.2.4 & 2.2.5 tried, PPP connection (in kernel), RedHat
5.2 for almost everything.
One file that consistantly fails, regardless of the site I try to pull it from
is kde-base-1.1-whatever.rpm. Hangs just after the 100K point. NCFTP reports
'Error: Connection timed out. Transfer aborted.' Netscape Communicator just
reports "stalled" forever. KFM gives no error, but activity stops.
If anyone has ideas, I'd love to hear them. I've tried looking for an updated
PPPD but haven't the foggiest where to look beyond mirrors of redhat
distributions (which have the exact same rpm that I have installed already.)
Like I said, I'm a newbie. Please help!

==================================
Check the samba/docs directory your will find that you need encrypted
passwords for win95 osr2/win98/winNT 4.0. They have even been nice
enough to give you a way to disable encrypted passwords in this
directory as an .inf file that will change the settings on the winxx
box.

I don't think you are having a problem it is just that the internet is busy.
I have had the same thing happen many times. Just right click and reload.
To prove this, go some where a little less busy and try to down load
something big ( > 1 meg)
if this works you do not have a problem, it's just that everybody wants the
same file you want. Look for a mirror.
Just for fun though go to a command line and run df -h to make sure you
arn't full any where.

For RedHat 5.2.
1. Follow the instructions in Chapter 6 in the pdf file. I had to use the I/O
Handwired settings in the card configuration. 2. In the network configuration
control panel edit the DirecPC interface In the WAN box enter the IP of your
network card. 3. In the license.dat file set your server name. 4. Make the
directory 2.0.36 in the /lib/modules directory and copy the dpc directory in
the 2.0.34 directory to it. ( This is not in the instructions ) 5. Edit the
file ip-up in the etc/ppp directory and add /sbin/route add "your direcpc
gateway" dev $1 Example /sbin/route add 206.71.99.8 dev $1 This is how mine
looked.
6. Next set upIPMasrading.
In the control panel click network config and select Packet Forwading.
edit the file /etc/rc.d/rc.local and add these lines.
/sbin/ipfwadm -F -a m -S "your eithernet card address" /24 -D 0.0.0.0/0
Example /sbin/ipfwadm -F -a m -S 10.0.0.1/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp.o
Note: If you license.dat file has expired just set your date back on the
computer.

Hi,
You've set the parameter "domain master = yes" in your smb.conf file. Don't do
that if the WinNT machine on your network is already a Domain Crontroller for
the domain in which you put Samba.
Check also that you don't have NetBEUI of NetBIOS on top of IPX/SPX running on
your Windows machines. This can break the browsing (at least make Linux - which
only use TCP/IP - disapprear ).
If your are still able to connect to the server when it is not visible, this
means that you don't have a Name resolution problem.
When did you run the smbclient command for which you give the output. When the
Linux server was visible in the Network Neighbourhood or not ?

You were right,
I forgot to mention that I am going to use ipmasqing. I turned off the gateway address
and the connection started to work. Still I need the gateway to connect additional
machines up to the net. I dont know how to change the default route so that it doesnt
ask
for the ethernet card. Funny thing is there is a machine that is existing that works
fine
that way(dont ask me how).
If anyone knows how to change the default route ( what files I need to edit ) I would
be
much grateful.

Don't tell me -- let me guess that you upgraded to the 2.2.x kernels
and didn't change your net-tools to match? :-)
I forget the exact version number, but that's the package you need
to update. It may be available pre-compiled, or you may have to build
it. It's quite easy, actually.

Subject: Defaultroute : How do i get it away for etho for ppp
Date: Thu, 08 Apr 1999 14:02:32 -0400
Hi All,
I setup a linux box to do ipmasqing. Everything works fine until I dail
the internet provider. As long as I dont have the default gateway and
the default gateway device set I can get out. I dont get:
pppd[559] not replacing existing default route to eth0 [192.xx.xx.xx]
I am sure that I need the gateway so that I can have my winbloz clients
be able to get out on the net. I have done this before and we have 3
machines calling out thru a linux box. I just cant seem to get this one
to do it.
I have posted earlier in a post called [ Can I stop screamming now ppp]:
that tells a little more about what I have been doing. I just dont have
the strength to retype it
I am using
Redhat 5.2
Pentium 90
56k modem
16 meg ram
2.5 gig
The only thing the machine will be used for is conneting to the net and
serving windows clients. Any help would be appreciated.
TIA

I have a Linux box, a Win NT Workstation 4 (SP3) and a Win 95 networked
with TCP/IP and Samba.
The linux box can find both but neither of the windows machines sees the
Linux box in network neighbourhood.
Any help most appreciated.
The shares on the Win95 machine are visible but the Win NT shares are
not. I have got round the NT password problems. The Linux box is set as
WINS server. The Windows machines see each other without any problems.
