I'm not sure what version of RPM I've got - I'm not in front of it at the
moment. However, it came stock with RH 5.2.
When I encounter that issue, I do use --force. Couldn't proceed without it!

My conspiracy theory was that GTE was in collusion with BillG. I called
again yesterday and got a different sales rep. She said that win95 works
but win98 doesn't do dhcp competently. Then she said what the other
guy should have, that you're on your own with win98(etc. linux etc.),
instead of saying it won't work and get out of town.

Well, (replying on behalf of Bob or Bill or whatever), if you have an
advocacy group with no dissenting opinion, you have a group where a bunch of
people pat themselves on the back and congratulate each other, then, after a
couple months, a dead group.
If you didn't have Microsoft and it's advocates for a villian, many people
wouldn't bother frequenting this group.

The word is we have to go to sunsite and get dhcpc upgrade, I got 1.3.17-pl2
and it started working immediately. dhcpc upgrade is required for kernel 2.2.0

My Stupid little routing tutorial
By [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Ok here it is quick and nasty.
First my problem.
This worked on Redhat 5.2
I have a 1 class �C� address 111.111.111.21 netmask 255.255.255.0
Gateway address is 111.111.111.1
DNS is 111.111.111.20
I need to connect a non-routed network to the Internet. (about 30 w95
pc�s)
Its class �C� address is 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
Verify that your NICS are working type Ifconfig
You should see something like this
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:127.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3584 Metric:1

RX packets:114 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:106 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0
Interrupt:11 Base address:0x6800
This is the routing table produced by route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
111.111.111.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0

0 lo
0.0.0.0 111.111.111.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0
6 eth0
This is the IP masquerade entries needed in the /etc/rc.d/rc.local
file before the little comment:
# This will overwrite /etc/issue at every boot. So, make any changes
you
# want to make to /etc/issue here or you will lose them when you
reboot.
ipfwadm -F -p deny
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.2.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0
Client config
Client IP any valid IP in the 192.168.2.x netmask 255.255.255.0 with
the exception of 192.168.2.0, 192.168.2.1, or 192.168.2.255. (Duh)
The gateway address needs to be 192.168.2.1
Point the client DNS to your providers DNS
Then rock and roll.

Date: Fri, 29 Jan 1999 10:02:53 -0500
I want to log on with linux to GTE ADSL. They vehemently persecute linux
users--you have to lie and say you're running either w95 or w98. They say
w95 works better. They say w98 can't receive all the info, nameservers
I think. I have linux 2.2.0 with dhcpcd 1.3.17-pl2 and I know about the
-h username option. One person in this newsgroup says he runs linux with
dhcp on GTE ADSL, log on fine. That's hopeful, but I'm looking at your
conversation about difference between w95 and linux, and wonderring
if that static route thing is anything for me as a linux client logging on?
One of their bludgeon boys screamed and ranted that only windows95,98
or NT will work. One correspondent here says it's only a policy, not
based on a problem, but that they're rabid about it.

Firstly, if you are using "diald" to dial the Internet, then you can do
an "ignore" statement in the standard.filter file so that these
netbios-ns (NETBIOS nameserver) requests are ignored (I think port
139). Secondly, I think the nameserver will bind to all addresses
available to listen. Since diald uses slip AND ppp, that's what it
binds to. Look at your messages when you connect to the net, it should
say that it is now listening on ppp0 as well (only after the interface
has been established, i.e. after you connect to ISP).

Theoretically it should be possible. But there has to be an
implementation that only looks at the MAC of your network card for
adressing. Maybe it is necessary to develop your own networking
software. Practically every networking software is build according the
OSI model. That is too much overhead for your needs. TCP/IP is certainly
not capable of routing the data as you want it. If it makes any sense to
go this way...?
Maybe there are some specialists with more knowledge about networking,
that can give you a more specific answer. I am just a student...:)
Good Luck!

I recently just did this....I got the two NIC's running....but I still not
routing packets
in my /etc/conf.modules I had to add
alias eth0 ne
alias eth1 ne
and at the end added the options
options ne io=0x300,0x360 (substiture the IO addresses for your cards
0x300,0x320 in your example)
Hope this happens

Do an nbtstat -A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and look for
conflicts.
So what have you setup where??
What boxes have what dns settings.
What ip addresses are assigned to what computers?
When you "use DNS" what are you doing?
What's in the following: /etc/hosts /etc/host.conf /etc/networks
What does ifconfig -a say for each machine.
What is the output of route?
