If you choose 111.111.111.129 as your Linux box's IP address, configure
the others hosts on your network to use 111.111.111.129 as its gateway.
Your Linux box uses 333.333.333.333 as its gateway.

Have a look at IPFW or IPWFAdm.

Have a look at the leased line mini howto for more info.
> Ubrigens was heisst: 8er Subnet, 6 nutzbare IP-Adressen?
111.111.111.128/29 are 8 IP nrs; 111.111.111.128 ... 111.111.111.135
111.111.111.128 is your network address, 111.111.111.135 your broadcast
address. This leaves 111.111.111.129 ... 111.111.111.134 as useable IP nrs
for your network. More info;

Well, I can tell you that originally traceroute did give me a
warning saying 'defaulting to eth0' or something like that. However,
the traceroute would still work and find routes out the ppp interface,
presumably because there is a route from eth0 to ppp0.
That is, it would find routes that worked - meaning I still have
the problem.

The clients are running Linux too.I think all socks client progs have to be
SOCKSified, Netscape for example is already SOCKSified.
ICQ uses UDP and TCP packages, but it has a option to use a SOCKS V5 or V4
connection.
The only problem is that SOCKS V4 can`t proxy UDP packages it can only proxy TCP
packages (thats what the installation says)
In the ICQ configuration it says that I have to open an outgoing UDP port (4000)
on my firewall
or create an UDP port mapping. Can you tell me how to do that ?

Subject: MacIP gateway for linux?

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Brendan Hoar)
I've got a LAN set up the following way:
Localtalk mac 1 <-> Localtalk mac 2 <-> Localtalk postscript printer
|
| <localtalk>
|
Farallon Multi-Printer localtalk to ethertalk adaptor
|||
||| <ethernet>
|||
Ethernet mac <=> Ethernet windows 95 1 <=> Ethernet windows 95 2 <=>
Ethernet Redhat Linux 5.2 <=> Ascend Pipeline P75 ISDN router
Where | and <-> represent Localtalk connections, and ||| and <=> represent
Ethernet connections.
All the macs can see the apfs server on the linux box. All the macs can
see the localtalk printer.
Now, unlike one of the Sonic mini-bridges, the Farallon bridge does not
support IP gatewaying via MacIP. I purchased it before that was
available, unfortunately.
However, I got it into my head that a MacIP gateway could be set up on the
Linux box. Is there a MacIP gateway for Linux? How about one that
doesn't require the linux box to have the Localtalk card in it, but looks
for Ethertalk packets that contain IP information coming over the Ethernet
port?
Thanks,

Subject: Routing with 3 NIC's in one machine, Firewall
Date: Wed, 6 Jan 1999 00:40:38 +0100
I have a Red Hat (5.1) Linux box setup that is hooked up to the internet
with a PPP connection to our ISP.
I have a network card installed to hook the box onto out local network. And
i added a second networkcard to
connect the machine to other servers in front of the firewall. The box has
an official IP address.
Our company has an official c-class domain. 195.240.233.0
Our internal network is using an in-official network range (but is behind
the firewall) 120.120.0.0
The PPP connection has ip address 195.240.233.1
The internal network card ip address 120.120.18.111
The card for use in front of the firewall IP address 195.240.233.10
I connected the in front the fireall card to a hub to link the box to an
extra server with IP address 195.240.233.20
This server cannot be reached from the internet. Why???????
Here are some printouts from the routing table and the rc.local with the
ipfwadm statements:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window

154.9.48.67 is the fixed IP address from the ISP side of the PPP connection.
eth0 is the NIC in front of the firewall
eth1 is the NIC to the internal network

You need new net-tools. I suggest you get an updated rpm (say from
the contrib directory in redhat ?).
Have a look at the file /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes.txt and
check the version of net-tools mentioned there against yours - use rpm -q net-tools.

I am trying to install an ethernet card with has io=0x0300 irq=5 in Debian.
Using 'modconf', I select '3c501' as network module. The window "Enter
Command-Line Arguments" puts out:
io=0x0280
irq=5
(Probes ports: 0X280, 0x300)
As I am a comlpete newbie and don't now what "command-line argumets" are, I
leave the input box blank and hit 'return' for OK.
After that, I receive the following messages:
Loading device 'eth0'...

Installation failed
Can anybody help me? The network card works well on the same machine under

Yes, Ethertalk is Appletalk over Ethernet. MacIP is IP encapsulated into
Appletalk. Since I have an Localtalk to Ethertalk bridge, I end up with
MacIP Appletalk packets on the Ethernet side, looking for a MacIP server.
>If

Right. As far as I can tell, the 2.0.x series kernel does not support
MacIP. However, I believe that later half of the 2.1.x series and
thecurrent 2.2.0pre kernels have some kind of support for MacIP built in.
I'm just not sure if they require the IP encapsulated in Appletalk to be
coming from a LocalTalk board in the linux box, or if they will see them
on the Ethertalk side. I sure hope the latter will work.
Unfortunately, I'm somewhat reluctant to update my kernel at this point in time.
>However, if MacIP wants to be compatible with the rest of the world,
>which it probably is, then it is using standard IP packets.
No. MacIP is a holdover from the days when "mac networking" mean't serial
based Localtalk. It isn't standard IP. A MacIP server is what translates
between MacIP and standard IP.

I suppose comp.os.linux.networking should do.

Subject: NT to Linux 'find computer' problem.
Date: Sat, 9 Jan 1999 05:08:01 -0500
OK - I'm in the 'new to Linux' catagory, so be a little forgiving here. Got
my NT server set up as the domain controller, and a linux box as a client.
ping, telnet and ftp all work just peachy. Problem is I'm now doing the
samba thing and running into some problems. From Winblows Explorer I do
'find computer' for 'linuxserver', which it finds and lists as location
unknown. The I try to 'open' the server and it requests a login. I provide
a login and get back the message "\\linuxserver is not accessible. The
account is not authorized to login from this station." Clues please.
Another little issue. Do a "shutdown -h now" on the linux box and it hangs
after displaying "shutting down gpm mouse service" , which then leaves me
with no way out (that I know of) other than to turn the damn machine off.
This causes disk checks when I reboot - and I'm VERY nervous about having to
do this.
TIA

Has there been any good How-to's for setting up linux for autodial, all I
have seen is just a bunch of setup files bunched together that did not help
much.
Thanks,

Subject: MP=Cheap~100kbps; linux->win->internet
Date: Sat, 9 Jan 1999 12:41:43 -0800
As I promised that I was going to post the result of
my struggle with EQL and Multilink PPP, I am posting what I have
found so far.
My goal:
I have a small network of four computers at home. I wanted to
connect these computers to the Internet as fast as possible,
and as cheap as possible. I looked for a way to bond two phone
lines as one to get a fast connection, i.e., two 56k modems = ~100k.
I tried EQL and Multilink PPP on Linux to have a Linux box to
work as a router. But I ended up using WinProxy on Windows98 to have
it work as a router. Because I found the following facts:
About EQL:
You need a static IP address for your Linux computer at home.
However, most ISPs will assign you an IP address dynamically.
ISP needs to have a router, Livingstone Portmaster 2 or later.
I could not find any ISP using this type of router in my area.
About Multilink PPP (http://mp.ins-coin.de/):
Linux support for Multilink PPP has been on the wish list
of kernel development for a while, but it is still at its
early stage. (Very limited Multilink PPP is possible with
kernel versions 2.1.37 to 2.1.43, which are outdated.)
About WinProxy (http://www.winproxy.net):
I got an account from an ISP with Multilink PPP support.
My account costs $29.95/mo. with unlimited usage and five e-mail accounts.
(Let me know if you would like to know which ISP I am using.)
Just set up Multilink as instructed on Windows98.
Setup WinProxy just as instructed on its User's Manual.
You are done. You get ~100kbps connection to the Internet from Windows and
Linux computers on the network at home. (Oh, yes, you can use cheap winmodems.)
It should also be possible to get ~150kbps connection if you have three
phone lines and three 56k modems (if your account allows three connections).
But I haven't tried because I have only two phone lines.
I really wish Multilink PPP support in Linux is going to be available soon..

Hi,
You can link your two machines via cross-over UTP cable(CAT3 or CAT5)
without a HUB. So you dont need to BNC cable.
Im using a card that brand is Surecom EP-325 PCI. Module
driver(ne2k-pci.o) provided by Linux. Also you can built it with kernel
compiling. In fact all cards which have RTL-8029 chip supported by
LINUX.

It munges ok, but in what I think is an desirable way: the other side of
the @ is still a valid domain which will (if politely configured) have to
return a no such user msg to the already overloaded traffic stream (guess
how I found that out). If you put the nospam on the right side, the
nameserver will puke it back at 'em: I get almost no spam... ;) Still
not ideal, but ideal means no spam in the first place.
