I have recently done this (I am in Scarborough... Howdy neighbor!), so I'll
try to remember what I did.
You'll have to bear with me,though. I did this over two weeks ago and (of
course) I didn't write anything down.
Anyways...
I have my machine set up so that I can multiboot (Linux, Win95, and DOS). I
brought up Win95, and went
to a DOS prompt to run WINIPCFG. I wrote down all of the IP settings.
Next I went into Linux and started looking at my ppp-on and ppp-off scripts
from my dialup connection.
I basically did what they did manually. I had to edit several files
(/etc/resolv.conf, /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1, etc)
I started the 3com driver with insmod.
After playing around with ifconfig, route, etc, I got to the point where I
could ping by IP address. From there
it was a simple matter to add in the dns stuff.
However, the network configuration in Win95 is handled by DHCP, so I
couldn't keep using the IP address that
I gathered from WINIPCFG (even though it never seemed to change). After
scanning this newsgroup, I found a
reference to http://www.monmouth.com/~jay/Linux which has info on how to set
up a cable modem.
I followed the directions there, and now I have full internet connectivity
from linux.
Now all I have to do is get my email, my news, some vpn, etc going, and I'll
be fine :-)

Connect how ? Ftp, rlogin, telnet, http, samba or simply all since it is
a local network ? I cannot help for all but if you've got a more specific
question, send me a mail, then we can sort it out.

Does pppd (and chat if you use it) have similar permissions. The script just
calls pppd, it has to be accessible by the user too.

That's because ftp is trying to do reverse lookup to find the host.
It's an option you can turn off in ftpd I believe. Check the docs on ftpd.

Thanks. I bought a cheap NE2000 card for the other Linux system I have set

Subject: RedHat 5.2 NFS server fails on writes
Date: Fri, 15 Jan 1999 21:35:47 +0000
Hi,
I have a BSD/OS (dearg) client which has mounted a file system on a
RedHat (glamaig) server using NFS.
I'm able to do everything except create files over NFS. I can create,
cd to and remove directories. I can read files but I cannot write them.
When I try to write a file, BSD/OS returns error 5 (input/output error)
and an entry such as
Jan 15 20:32:50 glamaig nfsd[320]: strange write req from
dearg.cuillin.org.uk: count 33188 len 4
appears in /var/log/messages on the RedHat box.
Anyone seen this? I'm currently grep'ing the kernel (2.0.26) looking
for 'strange write' to see what generates the message and why it
considers it strange.
The above message was created when I used vi to create a file called
xx. I typed three characters (so 3 + LF = 4) and tried to save the
file. Vi returned error 5 and the server now had a zero byte file
called xx and an extra message in /var/log/messages!
TIA,
Guy

Sendmail comes with all big and popular linux distributions. Just set
everything to the default and it will do all of your delivery incoming and
outgoing. I don't know about popservers. Pine and elm and mail and mailx and
all those will let you read the mail if you can telnet to the machine, but I
don't know if it comes with a popserver. I know there are freeware
popservers available qpopper I think is one.
DNS server. bind 8 comes with everything too. But I had a bitch of a time
setting it up. I use bind 4, which is a lot easier to compile and set up.

Thanks for the info. Since I posted this, I downloaded a new flash
for the modem and that has helped to make the connection usable,
but the FCS errors still occur. I have verified that the hardware
settings on my serial I/O board are jumpered for different
interrupts for each port (of the 4.) and /proc/interrupts shows:
0: 320882 timer
1: 5021 keyboard
2: 0 cascade

9: 266 + serial << /dev/ttyS3
13: 10034 + IPI
15: 12873 aic7xxx
IPI: 10034 received
I added &K3 to the to the modem init string (previously AT&F) even
though the docs for the modem indicate that hardware (RTS/CTS) flow
control is the default.
: There's probably a low-level communications problem here. As is
: frequently mentioned here, one of the common causes of bizarre modem

I have access to a SerialView PPP analyzer. I suppose that I could
put it between the modem and computer. If it shows corrupted
inbound PPP packets, then I can suspect the modem or the data the
ISP is sending. If the packets are clean at that point, then I have
to look again at my serial hardware and setup. Any further
suggestions or ideas on what to look for?

Thats too bad. All my pc's were built from scratch. No warranties there =)
My Linux box(I guess thats what you guys call it) is a parts bin basically, a
p133 with a 4 gig ide drive, and an OLD 6X cd rom. The floppy controller is
bad on the board, so I had to boot from the Redhat cd, and install from there.
Being EXTREMELY new to Linux, I was surprised at the easy installation. After
that I am lost. My first task for this pc was to have NT4 and W98, then Linux
all accessible. I got that, now my dilemma is getting my Realtek 10M pci nic
configured in Linux.
I am pretty sure it is supported by RH 5.1, and I can see it being detected
while loading Linux.
Can anyone suggest a site that has answers to newcomers questions like mine?
I have a Roadrunner cable modem that currently has a login manager for Linux,
but can't seem to get the nic going =(
Thanks for any suggestions.

Do you have the same subnet mask? Have you set up your routing table? Have
you considered that using Windows as a gateway is a just plain bad idea?

You should subscribe to the ip-masq mailing list. A few others and myself
hashed out this problem over the last few months. The problem, essentially,
is that starcraft networking is stupid. The solution, essentially, is that
the kernel has to be hacked to fix starcraft's stupidity.
You can read all about the work that someone else has done (and I built up-
on) at http://www.alumni.caltech.edu/~dank/peer-nat.html
There you will find a patch (mine :) against the 2.0.36 kernel that fixes
the problems you're experiencing (it's called the loose-udp patch). You
will also need port-forwarding installed, but I assume you know this
already since you're able to connect to b.net.
Loose-udp should be applied before the ipportfw patch, if I recall cor-
rectly. The ipportfw patch won't install cleanly, but the one patch that
it misses is only a comment, so don't worry about it.
Email me directly if you have any questions or need help. I'll walk you
through most of it anything related to getting loose-udp working (I'm not
gonna walk you through a kernel compile).

ok, *you* write the regexp parser then. ;-)
