Hi all;
Iam running RedHat 6.2 and trying to set it up as a server.
Not sure how to setup the ip numbers. It will accept a call and allow
login. But ut comes up with "Could not determine local IP address",
when I try to dialin from a mac. I just tried from a win95 box, same
error, but with some unsupported messages in /var/log/ppp.
Also should the remote computer have any particular settings, like in
their hosts...?
I do not have any NICs, should the server have more than 127.0.0.1?
Below are some of the files; ppp.log, hosts, options, options.srv,
login.config, mgetty.config, resolv.conf, pap-secrets.

Subject: More problems with printing with HPLjetII on linux.
Date: Sat, 24 Feb 2001 08:16:17 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Ok. I've figured out how to configure cups ( ipp://host/printers/queue
), but now I'm stuck on something else.
I can print to the laser jet from the machine it's on, or from a
windows machine. When I try to print from a remote linux machine,
you can see the data being sent down the printer line ( I have one of
those two machines using one printer things, you can see it flashing
when data is being sent ), but the printer doesn't signal this ( the
green light doesn't flash ). Also nothing comes out.
It seems like the printer is waiting for some sort of message to be
sent telling it to start printing.
Any ideas how to fix?

Correct. The current system FAVORS "fat cat" developers because it
forces the heirs to sell the property at below-market value (because
developers *all* know the the heirs *MUST* sell the land and pay the
taxes by April 15.

Thanks,
but there are two problems with this solution:
1) My firewall is not a linux machine running ipchains. It is a
dedicated box made by D-link. I can open any port for inbound traffic
and tell the firewall which internal computer shall handle the
traffic.
2) I have absolutely no idea which port(s) to open for this to work.
So basically my question is:
Which port(s) SSH uses?
Are there any other issues about going through a NAT firewall?
