Subject: HELP: pppd drops after exactly 1 hour - (long)
Date: Mon, 25 Jan 1999 21:53:34 -0600
I have a static IP using and am using ppp to connect to my ISP. Connects
great, and have the option to redial on disconnect and dial on boot
configured... but... Every hour exactly (determined from /var/log/messages)
ppp goes down, and the connection redials and connects. Not only a bit
irritating, but expensive also at $0.06 per call works out to about $43 a
month based on a 24/7 up connection.
Where do I look to correct this glitch? (doesn't look like anything is in
cron)
Running Redhat 5.2.

Subject: HELP! Cannot login from cmdtool to Linux Slackware box
Date: Tue, 26 Jan 1999 11:30:08 +0100
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
When I try to login to some Linux Slackware boxes and
TERM=sun or TERM=sun-cmd (p.e. from cmdtool) at the client end,
then logind (the server) rejects the request.
However, other Slackware boxes work well.
Any ideas?

It will be fine.

For real Audio/Video, FTP, HTTP, SMTP.... there is no problem BUT you must
load the following modules at boot (don't use kerneld for theses) :
ip_masq_vdolive
ip_masq_raudio
ip_masq_quake
ip_masq_irc
ip_masq_cuseeme
ip_masq_ftp
These modules complies with some particularities of these protocols.
The command is : modprobe ip_masq_vdolive
> 3. How does ip-masq compare w/ things like NAT?
In fact, ip-masq is one implementation of NAT on linux. It's more powerfull
and transparent than basic NAT.
For my network, I use a linux as a FireWall, with NAT for the incomming
connections on my servers (WEB, SMTP, POP, IMAP, TELNET...) and masquerade for
the outgoing connections.
I've got two problems with the followings :

To share a connection via a linux box, it's the more simple, the more fast,
the more secure a know.

I don't think you need a default gateway - the default gateway is a
route for messages going to machines not on your LAN.

I had the same exact problem with a 3c509 (from at home)... this was my work
around: (which I obtained in more detail from linux.org).
The problem is simply that linux doesn't like plug-and-play (at least for my
nic).
Hopefully you should have or could obtain a setup/config program from 3com.
Boot with a plain dos bootable (don't boot windows). Run the config program to
tell
the modem to disable plug and play.
When you boot to linux, hopefully it will fly by the eth0 setup... you should
have seen it hang there before.
This causes a minor if you use windows (it frets without plug and play).
However, you can convince windoze it's okay with forcing the right setup (if I
recall, i just used the 3c509b in ISA mode driver, and forced an IRQ that I had
open).
I recall the headaches I had with this one... kept me from completely using Linux
for about a month.

To answer a query, your nameserver will first try to get the answer
from the cache. If this is successfull, the answer is marked as
non authoritative.
