If you have compression enabled (STAC, or whatever) then disable it. This has
been known to cause ftp "stalling". In Windows, it's in the DUN setting
called "Software Compression". In Linux, I have no idea...

pppd 2.3.5 (which you will need to upgrade to in any case if/whenever you go to
2.2.0 of the kernel) supports demand dialing. Note, you will need to set up a
fixed ip address for the remote side (ie, I'm not sure it jibes with
ipcp-accept-remote). I find diald to be more flexible at demand dialing, but
it looks like diald is withering, given the lack of activity on the home page.

The most secure solution is to use ssh rather than telnet. It
automatically incorporates the Xauthority transfers necessary.
For more information see the Remote-X-Apps mini HOWTO. Just
remember that xhost + is simple but insecure.

Date: Mon, 25 Jan 1999 10:56:40 GMT
Hi!
I've installed a LAN with a Win98 machine (/w 3c905b-tx) and a Redhat 5.2 (/w
3c509), connected via a 10mbit Hub. Win98 is 192.168.1.1 (nmask
255.255.255.0) and no other entries. Linux machine is 192.168.1.2 (nmask
255.255.255.0), with a route to the 192.168.1.0 net, the Win98 machine
entered in 'hosts' and it's hardware adress added to the ARP table. Whenever
I try to ping the Win98 machine, it doesn't answer. I can see the outgoing
pins on my hub, but Win98 sends out packets only every few seconds (who knows
where to??). After some flood-pings, netstat -e said that Win98 received
3.6mb of data, but send out only 30K.
I've spend hours rebooting Win98, but he still doesn't answer pings. Is this a
Win98 problem or do I have to add any specific routes/gateways to Win98?
I would apreciate every piece of help.
Thanx in advance

Hi David..
Hope this isn't overstating the obvious but are you sure that your ISP supports
higher than 33.6? Also, the quality of your phone lines plays a large part in
your connection speed.. i.e I as well have a USR SV X2/V90 and can never hit a
56.6 site at any higher than 28.8 !! Two miles down the road on the other hand
I can connect at 54 K. Very frustrating..
Cheers
Jim

Have you enabled ip forwarding in your kernel and ensured that
FORWARD_IPV4=true in your /etc/sysconfig/network ?

Subject: DNS, sysquery and masq
Date: Mon, 25 Jan 1999 14:39:32 +0100
Hi
I have a DNS (bind8) server on my Linux (2.2.0-final) server. My Linux
server acts also as a INet gateway (masq).
The DNS server runs as a cahing NS and as a primary NS for my local
domain (open.world). It also serves reverse lookups.
My problem is that named always sends sysquerys and other forwardings to
the root servers on the INet without having something to forward.
If I would delete all root servers, than cahing won=B4t run anymore. And
if I pass the ip of my ISPs NS (over DHCP) to the clients, the clients
always send querys to the NS on the INet on startup (while checking the
hostname).
What can I do?
