Subject: How To Share Network Connections Among 3 Machines?
Date: Thu, 24 May 2001 21:15:10 +0800
Hi all,
I have just installed Redhat 7.1 (with kernel 2.4.2) in my machine with 3
network cards.
One of the network card (say eth0) is connected to the Internet through
PPPoE and I would like to use the other network cards (eth1 and eth2) to
share this connection with other 2 machines running Linux and Windows.
However, I don't know how to setup iptables or ipchains in order to finish
the task.
I tried the following commands:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
Yes, it works for my second network card (eth1). I can share the connection
with the machine connected to this network card.
But I don't know how to setup the third one (eth2). Does anyone know how?
The IP addresses of eth1 and eth2 are 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2
respectively.
I can't even ping 192.168.1.2 from the machine (with IP address 192.168.1.5)
connected to eth2 although I can ping 192.168.1.5 from my Linux machine
using the command:
ping -I eth2 192.168.1.5
I would be grateful if anyone can help me to solve this problem.
Regards,
Jason

You should have eth0 instead of ppp0. This is your outbound ethernet
connection isn't it, or is your ppp0 interface the magic output.
> echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
Additionally, make sure that you have activated the ip forwarding in the
/etc/sysctl.conf file. Make sure that you have the IP forwarding and IP
Defagging options open as well.

This is of some concern, that you are having problems with the ping. How are
the machines connected to your network cards. Are you using cross-over cables
between the machine and the eth1 and eth2 interfaces or is it the standard
RJ45 cable ?
Remember, that direct machine connections should be using a cross-over cable
as opposed to the standard direct cable.

Subject: Montego and sndconfig problems with 'make'
Date: Thu, 24 May 2001 08:55:21 -0500
I have a Turtle Beach Montego II sound card (yeah yeah I know.)
And I found drivers for Aureal Vortex 2 which is supposed to support the
Montego II.
When I untar'ed them, I get an asp10.o and an asp30.o.
The instructions say to 'make install', but when I do that all I get is
an error:
***No rule to make target 'install'. Stop.
I've read elsewhere that people have used 'make rebuild' or 'make
rebuild10' but I get the same thing.
Any ideas about that? I have every development package installed that my
RedHat 6.2 came with.
On a side note, when it comes to configuring the settings, under Windows
my card has one set of IRQ and DMA etc, but it also has a SoundBlaster
Emulation in devices with a different set of IRQ and DMA. What's up with
that? Which should I use when it comes time to tell Linux?
Thanks!!!

Hello,

Would you please to teach me how I can map both printers connect in
192.168.0.100 and 192.168.101 ?
I want to map the Printer in 192.168.0.100 to LinuxBox with identity
PRINTER_100 and map the Printer in 192.168.0.101 to LinuxBox with identity

So that in the LinuxBox, I can use "lpr __file_name_ PRINTER_100" or "lpr

In the gnome desktop that shipped with my RHL 6.2 system, I could

Subject: Problems CD writing with NEC 465
Date: Thu, 24 May 2001 14:14:01 -0000
I'm having problems trying to burn my first CD with a NEC 465 drive.
I can't find any information about this drive from NEC, but I found it
listed on a few (but not many) lists of CD-R drives. Yet, the drive
itself doesn't have any lights or other attributes that makes me think
it's a CD-R. My main suggestion that it is comes from these lines in
my dmesg:
Detected scsi disk sdb at scsi0, channel 0, id 1, lun 0
(scsi1:0:5:0) Synchronous at 20.0 Mbyte/sec, offset 15.

Detected scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi1, channel 0, id 5, lun 0

This seems to say that the NEC 465 is an mmc-compliant CD-RW.
Yet, when I try to write to it, I get:

the SuSE 7.1 distribution, which is on this host, instead of smake.
Any ideas if I have a CD-RW, and if so, what I need to do to get
it to work?
Thanks for all your time and thought helping me with this problem.

Yes, cut was not correct as some paths may already be absolute paths

The sed arguments are what i needed.

that is nonsense. why do you want two cards on one network?[1]
if you must have two "point-to-point" ethernet connections for your
machines, instead of using a hub, then give them seperate network numbers.
you might choose 192.168.1.0/24 for one and 192.168.2.0/24 for the other.

I'd ask the @Home newsgroups, unfortunately you have to be connected to
@Home to access their newsgroups, and the following problem is
preventing me from doing so. =P
I can get connected to the @Home service, and can even ping out and
resolve addresses, etc, but my x-fer rate is no more than about 2kbps!
And stalls out constantly.
There's a GREAT reference page at
http://members.home.net/randal.leavitt/CableModemConnectionNotes.html
which I followed, but it doesn't help.
No change in performance from when all I had was a host name a default
gateway to when I put in all the rest of the info.
Can anyone who has a good connection using cable modem give me some
pointers?
Like for Host, go ahead and use the full c123456-a.xxxx.mo.home.com or
just use c123456-a, use DHCP or BOOTP, etc.
There are some odd discrepancies too. My IPCOFIG /ALL under WIndows
(before Windows crashed) gave me my default gateway etc...and it ends in
a .1. But the network settings has my domain set as ending in .0 and no
way to change it.
Anyway, I'd appreciate any pointers from anyone regarding this.
Thanks!!!

Hai,
Today i had some strange problem with newline character before the
end of the file. Here is my program which explains my problem in
detail...
Program:
========
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
FILE *fp = fopen("readme", "r");
int c;
while ((c = getc(fp)) != EOF) {
if (c == '\n')
printf ("newline character detected\n");
}
fclose(fp);
return 0;
}
Content on readme file:
=======================
hello
output:
=======
newline character detected
But note that i NEVER included any newline character in
my readme file. And also if i included any (say n) newline
character(s), then the output shows that it detects n+1 newline
characters.
I don't know where is the problem (ie, whether the
problem with linux or gcc compiler, that's why i put this messages on
both newsgroups, sorry).
Please tell me some suggestions to solve this and where
the problem has actually occured.
Thanks a lot.

saved properly, it's jsut that when I use 'ls' or 'ls -la', the actual
name of the file is missing from the display!
if i pipe the output thru 'less' then I can see the names, but this
gets really annoying. How can I see these filenames? And how do I
prevent this from happening in the future.
(BTW, there's nothing weird about the characters used in the filenames,
they just use the characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and period.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Yeah, but drawing attention to the fact that I have a box with publicly

Is your printer connected directly to your machine or you print through
the network? Is the printer daemon running?

Why do you won't to know this?
Spammers will be using your MTA faster than I can type this message,
to send shitloads of SPAM to others on the net.
I'm sorry, but I don't think you'll find many who'll give some advice on
this topic.

If you are booting from a floppy, then the lilo boot loader you put
in /dev/hdb1 is irrelevant. What you are probably doing is booting
from a lilo boot loader on the floppy. What you put on the second
hard disk doesn't come into play. Indeed, you can't use lilo to
boot from hdb1 normally. (You can if you are using another boot
loader such as Boot Magic.) You should have put lilo in the
master boot record of the first disk /dev/hda not /dev/.hda1.

What you have done is mess up the start of the Windows partition,
which is used to boot Windows. Control is transferred to that
if you've done it right either from the original master boot
record---the way it came---or from the lilo boot loader if you
installed lilo correctly. The problem is really how to fix
a messed up Windows ME partition. Under Windows 95/8, you
could take a bootable Windows floppy disk, boot from that and
try
sys c:
(but check the syntax). This might rewrite the things you messed
up. Unfortunately Windows ME has departed from DOS, and the
startup disk it lets you make may not be capable of that.
But probably the easiest thing to do would be what one person
already suggested. When you ran /sbin/lilo, it kept a copy
of the boot sector in /dev/hda1 which it wrote over. You can
use lilo as suggested to restore it. Unless you have done
something else in the meantime to muck things up more, you
ought to be back where you were. You should still be able
to boot Linux from your floppy and if you put the lilo loader
in /dev/hda (the master boot record), you should be okay.

The command is mkbootdisk and the man page tells you how to use it.
