Are you saying Redhat is a more user friendly distribution ?

This is more of a comp.os.ms-windows.networking post...
Anyway, here goes.
In each segment, a segment master browser (SegMB) will be elected. When a
user double clicks on Network Neighbourhood, the computers shown are a
result of querying the SegMB for the segment browse list. Machines get
added to the segment browse list when they boot up and send a broadcast
packet in an attempt to discover or force the election of the SegMB.
So, in your case, you have two segment master browsers. The trick is to
get them to talk. This is where WINS (and Windows NT Server) come in.
Segment master browsers ask domain master browsers (DomMB) for the browse
lists of the other segments. Since the SegMB's have their primary and
secondary WINS pointing to the same WINS databases, then everything
eventually gets sync'ed up.
Which means that if you follow the Microsoft way, you will have to set up
an NT server.
There may be a way to set up the Linux box to forward the broadcast
packets between the two subnets (kink of defeats the purpose of a router,
though) so that there is only one segment master browser.
Just to be complete, you could use the LMHOSTS file and set up the
mappings statically. This will work for you, I believe, but what a
headache. Adding a server means running around and changing the LMHOSTS
file (unless you come up with some fancy logon script). Yuk.
hope this helps,
Luca

hi, just wanted to add a few words here. Please correct me if i am wrong. I
think pinging 127.0.0.1 will only pinging the OS portion of it. I mean it
doesnt go through the hardware (network card) itself. Pingign 127.0.0.1 will
still give a good result eventhough the NIC is not inplace at all. In order
to make sure u can ping 192.168.1.*, u got to make sure ur nic is setup
correctly before hand. If pinging 192.168.0.1 (if ur ip is this), then u know
ur nic setup correctly.

I do not think this is what the poster wants. I am fairly sure that
the poster does *NOT* want NT based web hosting. Apache (wiht mod_ssl)
or one of the other Apache with SSL solutions can easily do web
hosting and vaious ISPs offer Unix (sometime specifically Linux) based
web hosting. I think the list includes uunet.
Alcom internix (http://www.alcom.co.uk) will sell you an virtual web
site hosted on apache with PHP and random CGI support. MySQL support
is avialable for extra on a per database basis (this is a leak from
one with admin access and no control or advance clues about the
prices). You may want to wait until all the stuff has been recompiled
and the devlopment server upgraded to 2.2.0 and knfsd. (I
FP is not supported due to lack of documnetation and an installer can
not cope with the paranoid server configuration.

since you clearly mention u r a new user, i suppose u r looking for help from
ground up. I assume u already have ur linux installed on ur machine. while
booting up, do u see if ur network card detected? it's ok, if u couldnt catch
what it says on the screen. Just type 'dmesg |more' and check. If there is
something says the network card ip aaddress, e.g. 12:34:56:78, then it is
detected, else, i am afraid it is not, and hence ur machine cant talk to the
win95. There are a few reasons that can happen. Either ur nic is not
campatiable (not recognize by linux) or the network pacakge is not installed.
If u have a compatible nic, and the network package installed, then by right
the nic can be detected. before u can go ahead and set up the ip address
(/etc/hosts), u got get the card woking first.
for doc, try http://www.redhat.com/support . There are links to sone very good
doc for setting up linux network.

I'm using SuSE 5.x and am attempting to get it to connect to one of my

instructions, which allow me to dial-up, and login, but for some reason
I can't access any sites with Netscape, or any other software.
The terminal screen reads:

Entering PPP mode.
Async interface address is unumbered (FastEthernet0)
Your IP address is 62.136.24.96. MTU is 1500 bytes

I'm no network boffin, but I've a feeling it has something to do with
the DNS nameservers, I know that in Windows DUN's, it allows you to
specify server assigned nameserver addresses, but in EzPPP I don't think
it does. Any suggestions would be gratefully recieved!!

That is a variable too,

You may see:
Nothing at all. . .
It's waiting for your PPP.
Apparent garbage with "~", "{", and other characters,

PPP itself features authentication support

Subject: Recommendations Regarding PCMCIA NIC Replacement?
Date: Thu, 28 Jan 1999 13:51:37 GMT
I've got an ActionTek PE-200 (NE2000 compatible) PCMCIA NIC in the laptop I
use. However, I've mislaid the NIC cable and a replacement costs ~$45. The
question is should I simply replace the cable (the card works fine), or should
I replace the NIC with something like a 3Com? And what would the advantage(s)
be in replacing the card?
Again, the ActionTek PE-200 works fine. I'm just wondering if the $45 spent
to replace the cable might be $10-$20 shy of a much better card.
Thanks.

We have two linux boxes in our house. The older one (defiant) is a 486
66 with all kinds of dead parts with hardware workarounds. It works. I
can surf or whatever I want to do when I have a phone line plugged in.
The newer one (voyager) is an AMD 233. It's great. It's fast enough for
what we want to do.
I have been trying for about a week to get IP Masquing (sp?) to work.
I've recompiled the kernel on what will be the gateway. I've followed
the mini-HOWTO to the letter. I still haven't been able to get it to
work.
The two machines work fine together. We share files, doom, whatever
else. I just can't get to the internet unless I telnet into the gateway.
That's fine if I just want to use lynx. I can't use Netscape or its
e-mail client. I can't irc (not that it's important). What else do I
need to do?
# hosts on gateway
#
127.0.0.1 localhost
aaa.bbb.ccc.32 voyager.qx.net voyager
aaa.bbb.ccc.33 defiant.qx.net defiant
I ran net config and put voyager's address as the gateway. I'm running
Slackware 3.5, linux 2.0.34.
Thanks in advance

Subject: IP Masquerade like techniques in Solaris?
Date: Thu, 28 Jan 1999 13:55:19 GMT
Hi, all,
I know that IP-Masquerade technique in Linux permits LAN users to visit
Internet "transparently". Can it allow a big amount of users to use Internet
simultaneously? I mean, in a WAN of 20,000-50,000 cable modem users in it.
In fact, I am thinking about a plan to allow users in a WAN with about
20,000-50,000 cable modem users, each is assigned a "fake" IP, 10.253.*.*, to
visit Internet without any limitation. At least users should be allowed to use
services such as ICQ and Internet Phone freely. What should I do? I don't know
much about how to administrate a WAN comprised of mainly Cable Modem users.
Kindly give me good advices

My thoughts exactly, mostly because I've had this problem. PnP can be such a
pain in the arse sometimes.
If you do end up having an IRQ Conflict between your NIC and your Video
card, try changing PCI slots for ONLY ONE of them, rebooting, redefining the
IRQ in the startup scripts (or let the tulip driver probe for it) and see
what happens..
Even tho PnP took away the jumpers and such, it's still necessary to make
sure (manually, via /proc/interrupts) that you don't have an IRQ conflict.
If you've installed something and it doesn't show up in /proc/interrupts, or
another piece of hardware that you have installed is now missing, you have a
conflict, and must resolve it before everything will work.
Like I said before. PnP is nice for those who don't know about such things
as IRQ's DMA's and Port Addresses, but when it goes afoul, you need to
resolve the conflict before everything will work..
