I have been trying to make a ppp connection for the past couple of
weeks. But have been unsucessful. I had used minicom to dail up my isp,
however it takes upwards of 30 seconds to initialize (I have tried various
initialization strings) . Once initialized I then I issue the atdt#######
common and after about 20 seconds the modem will dail the number.
The login screen then appears (a screen that has about ten words of text
which takes about 2 minutes to be recieved. I then proceed to login
(renponse time very slow). The garrable characters appear. I try to start
ppp. I have tried everything I could to get it to work (setserial, play
with bois settings, change control setting (echo, crtrts, etc)).
I have came to the conclusion a winmodem possible (unsure because it is
a generic modem and can not find any resemble a manufacture name in the
manual or on the isa card itself. In windows I use a pnp driver for it.
So before I go out and purchase another modem I wanted to make sure I did
not miss anything.
Would a winmodem act like this or would it not even allow me to dial?

I'm running Redhat 5.0, to which I've added pppd-2.3.5, including the
re-edit of ppp.c and a kernel recompile. Works, fine with ipmasq, and
2-3 Win95 boxes behind it. Except, it dials-out, even when there isn't
a demand. Some of this might be due to the Win boxes and nice clean
(it's a joke, son) networking. But some of it corresponds to events on
the Linux system itself. For instance, syslog rotation and a dial-out
event correspond in the logs.
This brings up 2 questions:
1) How do I determine what's causing the dial-out? I assumed I do it
with tcpdump, but I'm not capturing anything watching the ppp0 device,
so I must be missing something.
2) If and when I determine which packets are starting the link, how do I
stop them? I expected that I might be able to use filter definitions to
have the dialer ignore certain packets, similar to what can be done with
Ascend routers, but the man page for pppd indicates that function is
only available with NetBSD, why? Using IPmasq to stop them is too
severe, there might be certain traffic you'd want to pass during a live
session, but not want them to bring up a connection (like many Msoft
Netbios over TCP packets...)

Tell us exactly what happens if you enter "telnet wingate" on the Linux box?
If it comes back with "Wingate>" everything is working exactly as it should.
What you have to do then is enter "wingate:80" as the proxy server for
Netscape.
You do realize that Wingate is a proxy, not at all like IP masquerade, and
everything has to be pointed AT the Wingate box, not at the Net beyond it?
I mention this because my experience was exactly the opposite of yours --
had a working Wingate setup for quite a while, and it was a real shock when
I got IP masq. working, and had to TAKE OUT all the pointers to the Wingate
box. Made me feel a bit foolish, but I'm willing to share the experience
for the good of the group. :-)

Can you ping the Linux ip address from the Linux Box?
Can you ping the Windows ip address from the Windows Box?
Do this first, to determine if the stacks are being loaded correctly on
each box.
If the transport is active for each box, try changing the netmask to
255.255.255.0 for each box.
Check your /etc files like "hosts" ".allow" and ".deny" to see if there is
anything obviously wrong in there.
I had a box that could ping itself, but not anything else. I stripped out
all the networking and reinstalled it. It worked, and the only reason I
did it the "Windows Way" was because I did not have time to troubleshoot
it.
If you only have two boxes talking to each other, you can also use a
crossover cable. It switches the TX-RX / RX-TX connections like the hub
does, but it only works for two NICs talking to each other. It works like
a laplink cable for ethernet.

These are symptoms of an IRQ misconfiguration. The setserial configuration
must set the same IRQ that the modem actually uses. Before PnP the modem
manual told you what that was. There is a utility called isapnp that
is apparently useful for PnP modems but I don't PnP and can't say how well

Date: Wed, 06 Jan 1999 13:43:19 GMT
The FA310TX card is a perfectly fine card (I replaced a pair of 3COM
cards in my Linux box with FA310TX's). You just have to make sure that
you get the right one. It seems that when Netgear runs out of the DEC
tulip chips, it uses a "clone" chip that is almost as good. You simply
have to know which chipset is on the card before you install drivers.
I found two different boxes at Fry's - one was a regular box that did not
allow you to actually see the card withhout opening it up, and the other
was an "open-face" box that allowed you to see the chipset.
The open-face boxes are the ones to get, but before you buy it, make sure
it has a real DEC chip on it. Then, download/install the latest driver
and you're all set.
Buy a pair of FA310TX's and a separate hub (doesn't have to be Netgear).

I used:
io=0x300 irq=5
during setup - note the space rather than a comma between the settings. I
don't think you can autoprobe since its an ISA card. BTW, I also have the
following in conf.modules:
alias eth0 eepro
options eth0 io=0x300 irq=5
or, if you have two cards:
alias eth0 eepro
alias eth1 eepro
options eth0 -o eepro0 io=0x300 irq=5
options eth1 -o eepro1 io=0x320 irq=10
I understand that the "-o <name>" effectively renames the driver so that you
can load two copies.
Hope this helps,
Hervey.

I've got a linux firewall box setup, running NAT/masquerading, and I've
followed what little information I can find on getting cu-seeme working,
ie.
1. download, config and install ipautofw + kernel changes
using: "ipautofw -A -r udp 7648 7648 -c udp 7648 -u
2. load ip_masq_cuseemem module
now, this gettings me to the point where I get on cuseeme reflectors,
I join a conference, but I rarely see even on image from a remote camera
but see "opening video stream..." all the time. This is quite a
difference from direct connection ie. without masquerading firewall.
I'm wondering, is my 486 firewall a bottleneck, but this doesn't make
sense, as I can ftp/surf and get 200k/s file transfers, but not transfer
tiny streaming video?
any help much appreciated.

Subject: Running X causes weird network delays
Running X is doing something weird to my networking. When I first boot
my machine, I can ping my local machine in a normal fashion. If I
connect to my ISP, I can ping Internet machines as well.
After starting X, however, things get weird. My local machine will
delay several seconds between each ping. The pings succeed in a normal
amount of time, but the delay between each one is huge. This problem
continues even after shutting X down.
The last time I quit X and pinged, I got this (notice negative times on
first packet):

Samba is quite simple to setup. I have used
http://www.gorski.net/Samba quite religiously. Most of your changes
to get your system how you want it shared is going to be done in
smb.conf in your /etc/ directory. The web page that I previously
mentioned has a detailed listing of options that will help you out.
Some of the main points you are going to want to look at are:
1. security: share or user
2. encryption: If you are using NT, you ware going to want to
make sure you have password encryption enabled in your smb.conf file,
otherwise you are never going to be able to login to your linux box to
get access to directories.
3. directories: You can setup user directories, public
directories, etc etc. with such options has "public" "browsable"
"updateable" yada yada yada. All that is covered on the web page.
4. printers: You will have to make sure you have your lp
daemon started and configured on linux, then you can implement that in
your smb.conf file, and share a printer to all other nodes on the
network. Again this is covered in depth on the web page.
There are MANY other options to include, and the default smb.conf file
comes with most implemented, or at least there and commented out.
Just follow the web page and you should be able to figure it out.
-->
-->Eg.
-->1. configure network card (check these docs - .... )
At the initial setup of RH5.2 you should have already set that
up...but seeing as you have a custom compiled kernel your other
settings may or may not be working. Does your network get recognized
at boot-up. If so, then the physical card is setup....what you will
have to do is make sure IP, DNS, GATEWAY, ROUTING, and all that fun
stuff is setup correctly. I believe in /usr/doc/HOWTO/ there is a
networking HOWTO which should cover the above.
-->2. ping from server to client, then client to server (check these docs - ... )
If your card is recognized at boot-up and you have assigned IPs to all
the machines already, you should be able ping right off the bat.
-->3. configure samba
See the above comments.
-->My main goal is to share drives from Linux with nt.
Quite easy to do with Samba...the web page covers this...and the
default smb.conf has some public shares commented out....I believe
-->I'm running winnt 4.0 w/ sp3 and RH Linux 5.2 over a 100MB fast ethernet. It

I am running Linux RH5.2, NT4.0, and 95, and kernel 2.0.36 (soon to

date). If you have compiled in support for your card, I would guess
it is seeing your card. If not....you can specify at the LILO prompt
to fire up eth0 with specific settings....something like:
Linux ether=0x300,10,eth0 or something like that....it should
