Hi, I get this error message when my RH 5.2 system boots up. I have tried
to find out how to fix this is in the PPP Howto, NET3 Howto, etc. but can't
find the answer. I may be looking in the wrong place or overlooking an
obvious answer. I'm a newbie to Linux Networking and that is the biggest
problem. If someone can point me to where to find the info to fix this or
share the answer with me it will surely be appreciated.

I have a SMC PCI card, I'm 99.9% sure it's a 1208T but I don't see my manual
around here anywhere so I can't confirm it. Anyway...I have it configured as a
PCI NE-2000, compiled into the kernel (though I don't see why a module wouldn't
work) and it works fine

I just finished re-setting up my rh 5.1 system so that eth0 is on my
internal network and eth1 is dhcp-connected through my dsl modem to the
rest of the universe. I want for the machines on my internal network
(10.10.10.0) to be able to see the internet, obviously. So far, they
can ping all the way up to both eth0 and eth1 on the linux machine, but
not past that. I have ip_forwarding turned on in the netcfg dialog and
I have masquerading turned on in the kernel.
Now I don't know what to do. I think it's something with ipfwadm, but
none of the documentation seems to help. I just want a fish for now,
not a fishing pole.
thanks

I cannot see anything wrong as I have comared it with mine but I did
have problems
because of a default route I had set up before I understood it.
Try the following.
before starting you dialup connection do
route del default
then start your ppp connection.
If that works you can either try to find out where in the boot sequence
the defaulte
route is being set ( I use Slackware so can't point you in the right
direction for this )
or you can edit your ppp statup script to contain the route del default
near the beginning.

start over: (after saving config)
make clean
make dep
make zImage
make modules
make modules_install
(looks like you missed a few steps)
then copy the kernel to /boot and edit /etc/lilo.conf

Sorry, I've made a mistake... all the IP adresses are beginning with
132.214.x.x ...
So I changed them to 192.168.0.x, Class C 255.255.255.0 as subnet mask and
everything is working FINE!

Install and configure SAMBA. With SAMBA installed, the Linux machine
shows up in the network neighborhood just like a Windows 95/98 machine.
Then just stick the appropriate share information in the smb.conf file.
For example:
[logfiles]
comment = View Log Files
writable = no
locking = no
path = /var/log
public = yes
This smb.conf snippet would make a public-readable "logfiles" share
available, which could then be assigned a drive letter in your Windows
machine using the Win95/98 Explorer drive mapping feature or the DOS "net
use" command.

You've set up the kernel to be capable of masquerading but now you have
to tell it exactly what to masquerade. That's where ipfwadm comes in...
ipfwadm -F -a masq -S 10.10.10.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0 -W eth1
-F : forwarding
-a : action (in this case, masquerade)
-S : source IP host/network (in this case 10.10.10.0 mask 255.255.255.0)
-D : destination IP host/network (the world, 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0)
-W : the interface that masquerading should be applied to
You should also use ipfwadm to set up your linux box to be a firewall for
your LAN. The act of masquerading means that your internal machines are
hidden from the Internet but it doesn't mean that your linux box is safe.
If someone hacks your linux box, then they can access your internal
network. You should check out the Firewall and Proxy HOWTO at
http://www.linux.org/help/howto.html.
Hope this helps.

Actually, all you have to do is configure your ICQ to go through your
inux box as a firewall. You can get to it by choosing:
Preferences, Connection and click on LAN connection, firewall. No socks

After making my ppp connection, I still have to add a default gateway to make the
link work.
I use the following script to do so. I needed the script since I don't know what my
remote gateway
is until after I log on. If you already know the default gateway, just type
/sbin/route add default gw <default gateway address>.
#!/bin/csh
# script set_gateway
# This sets up the default gateway after running ppp
set GW = `/sbin/ifconfig ppp0 | grep "inet addr" | awk -F: '{ print $2 }' | awk
'{print $1}'`
/sbin/route add default gw GW
unset GW
~
Hope this works.

>initiate whatever sequence does the trick in X.
On my RedHat system, these commands do the trick:
To connect:
cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
./ifup-ppp ifcfg-ppp0
To disconnect:
cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
./ifdown-ppp ifcfg-ppp0
I put these commands in script files so that I don't have to type them out
every time I want to connect. Doing web, news, and email from the console
is the way to go ;-)

Are you sure the route is OK?
Try playing with the command "route"
It should be something like this:
route add -net XXX netmask XXX dev eth0

Hey,
I am using Redhat 5.2 with a 3c509 card. The system is online. However,
when I try to telnet or ftp to it, it finds the host, but keeps denying my
connection
and closes the telnet window. What could be wrong? Thanx.

Hi.
On my RedHat (5.1) box at home, i've run into problems with huge numbers
of processes run ip-up.local when i start a ppp session to my isp. The
same problem occurrs (all the time) with both EzPPP and with the netcfg
utility.
after bringing up the ppp0 connection, things work correctly, but i
noticed the load indicator going >1 (it gets up to about 1.6). after
about 2 minutes or so, the load goes back down to minimal, until i
deactivate ppp0, and the load goes >1 again for about 2 more minutes
(though the modem hangs up in just a few seconds).
this last time i ran ' ps ax ' and piped the output to files . here's a
summary from when i ran ' ps ax ' several times over the first 2
minutes, and then a few times after shutting down the ppp connection.
i'm sure it's some configuration that i don't have set correctly, and i
sure hope somebody might be able to point me in right direction.
just after activating the ppp connection
17562 p2 S 0:05 python /usr/lib/rhs/netcfg/netcfg.py
17717 p2 S 0:00 sh /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ppp daemon/etc/sysco
17724 p2 S 0:00 /usr/sbin/pppd -detach lock defaultroute mru 576 mtu 576 /de
a short time afterward
17562 p2 S 0:05 python /usr/lib/rhs/netcfg/netcfg.py
17717 p2 S 0:00 sh /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ppp daemon /etc/sysco
17724 p2 S 0:00 /usr/sbin/pppd -detach lock defaultroute mru 576 mtu 576 /de

17733 ? S 0:00 bash /etc/ppp/ip-up.local ppp0 /dev/cua2 57600 208.129.184.4
+ total 220 versions
a wee bit later
17562 p2 S 0:05 python /usr/lib/rhs/netcfg/netcfg.py
17717 p2 S 0:00 sh /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ppp daemon /etc/sysco

17733 ? S 0:00 bash /etc/ppp/ip-up.local ppp0 /dev/cua2 57600 208.129.184.4

18642 ? S 0:00 sh /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-post ifcfg-ppp0
18662 ? S 0:00 sh /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-routes ppp0
18663 ? R 0:00 linuxconf --hint routing ppp0
18664 ? S 0:00 (ifup-routes)
then the numbers start dropping:
total 298 versions of ip-up.local then
22287 ? S 0:00 sh /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-post ifcfg-ppp0
22307 ? R 0:00 sh /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-routes ppp0
total 245 versions of ip-up.local then
23779 ? S 0:00 sh /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-post ifcfg-ppp0
soon we're down to none of the repeats.
17717 p2 S 0:00 sh /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ppp daemon /etc/sysco
17724 p2 S 0:00 /usr/sbin/pppd -detach lock defaultroute mru 576 mtu 576 /de
and that's it!
On shutdown i get the same thing happening, except the repeated process
is:
30642 ? S 0:00 bash /etc/ppp/ip-down ppp0 /dev/cua2 57600 208.129.184.40 20
30644 ? S 0:00 bash /etc/ppp/ip-down.local ppp0 /dev/cua2 57600 208.129.184
30645 ? S 0:00 bash /etc/ppp/ip-down.local ppp0 /dev/cua2 57600 208.129.184
30646 ? S 0:00 bash /etc/ppp/ip-down.local ppp0 /dev/cua2 57600 208.129.184
30647 ? S 0:00 bash /etc/ppp/ip-down.local ppp0 /dev/cua2 57600 208.129.184
30648 ? S 0:00 bash /etc/ppp/ip-down.local ppp0 /dev/cua2 57600 208.129.184
+over 400 versions of the same thing.
and eventually it too quiets down.

Subject: NAT & load balanced ppp
Date: Mon, 18 Jan 1999 07:23:08 +1100
Hi,
Was just wondering if it is possible to use NAT to load balance muultiple
ppp connections...
I know that it can be done the other way round, 1 inet connection to
multiple load balanced WWW servers, shawly the only difference would be that
under the "virtual" NAT address, it would have ppp IP numbers not eth0 or
other IP numbers?
Would appreciate ANY in put on this...
If the current code doesn't allow for it... how hard would it be to code?
Thanks for your time everybody..
Ashley
