Subject: IP Tunnelling-NO QUAKE!
Date: Wed, 20 Jan 1999 23:13:49 GMT
I have a problem with IP Tunnelling...I can get it to connect and I can
ping packets across the network, I can also connect to an ftp server
inside the other persons network using tunnelling....but the only thing
I can't do is run a quake game via this link. I think it may be
associated with something to do with routing. i have one route
connecting the two networks together and it looks like this
route add -net 192.168.65.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw (External IP of
remote machine)
Also I'm masquerading to the internet, could that be causing a problem?

wow, i didn't know the answer to all of our problems was simply, DRAG+DROP!
nothing like choosing convenience over everything else!!! i have seen the

Add the apporpiate lits of IP and network numbers to the list of local
IP numbers. These IP numbers will allow you to send mail in any
directions. Other IP numbers will insist on something listed in the
destinations to allow in your sendmail.cf and whatever tables it uses
(name.allow is probably a listed of allowed destinations).

One possibility would be to use the 'screen' program, which should be
available as a package for your favorite distribution. It permits you to
switch between virtual terminals of a sort. It also implements
backscroll, copy-and-paste, and a few other neat features.

Here's a trivial perl script that I feed the output of "tcpdump -x" to. It
will translate all the hex into ASCII.
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
open (OUTPUT, "|cat -v");
select(OUTPUT);
$| = 1;
while (<>) {
if (/^\s/) {
chop;
s/\s//g;
while ($_) {
($hex, $_) = /^(..)(.*)$/;
$byte = hex($hex);
print pack("c", $byte);
}
} else {
print "\n\n";
print;
}
}
close(OUTPUT);

You could use Micro$oft's PPTP which is encrypted (minimally) and install
the PPTP patches onto your Linux box to allow the PPTP traffic through.
Then you would install RAS and PPTP onto one of your M$ servers.

Hi,
We start the Apache httpd daemon and it works fine
except that it does not accept

files which are created by a PC tool.
Is there any configuration or command option
which can solve this problem?

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello all,
I am new to the list and new to linux (redhat 5.2) and I've just got a
two node network up and running. I was wondering if anyone has tried to
print from a linux machine to a win95 printer?
The linux box is the server. Win95 the client. Samba is configured and
the win95 can access the linux hard drive and it shows up in Network
nehigborhood. I ran across some docs about modifing the printcap file
and have done so. The lp shows up in Network neghiborhood also but I
can't print (lp) to the network printer.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx in advance
