Try all of the available drivers... and if that doesn't work, take $50
out of your pocket and go buy a 3Com 3c509b. I've never had any trouble
with these cards and they autodetect reliably. Be sure to take it out of
Plug-and-Pray mode first.
On the same note, I've always wondered why people will try endlessly to
find drivers for their "SuperNoBrand ModemNetworkSound Combo-All-in-One
WeWorshipMicrosoft" card? C'mon people! Buy a brand that is known to
work. The card manufacturers will get the hint when their market share
dries up.

Subject: Telnet & FTP time out (Linux <--> Win98)
Date: Fri, 29 Jan 1999 21:40:15 GMT
I have a Linux box with a 3Com 3c905B NIC and a Win98 box as the only
two machines on my 10BaseT LAN (right now); they're connected with a
little 8 port hub. I can ping back and forth fine... But, telneting to
the Linux box takes a very long time (sometimes so long that it times
out). Does anyone have any clues as to why this could be occurring?
What should the gateway be set to? (I've tried setting it to the linux
box...). Could it be the telnet daemon configured badly?
Any help is greatly appreciated -steve

You are using the right one, but perhaps have the wrong options. Look

Alot of HeeHawin' going on here. So I'll put my 1 cent in.
Red Hat = Great Internet / Database server (wide s/w support)
Caldera = Great client; esp. with Novell support. This is changing with
the introduction of the independent client but haven't
tested.
SuSE = Great all rounder. I use it cuz it's the only one I could get
my ISDN configured on hehehe... get more docs out there
on the others!
Trying out the new Mandrake, and think they should leave Red Hat to develop
itself and add to it. Too many flavors will be a downfall in the open
market.
I am running all 4 on seperate boxes. Hopefully, with the Novell client for
all I can reduce this down to Just RH and SuSE.
RH is getting a lot of major player backing so learning it might be the best
way to go.
SuSE would probably be the best for beginners to learn the fundamentals.

Subject: Linux Firewalling Article submissions
Date: Sat, 30 Jan 1999 19:41:21 GMT
Group,
I have been running Linux for a little over a year and have been
using ipfwadm as a primary means of packet filtering for a majority
of the time. I am writing an article for a security magazine that
deals specifically with "Linux Firewalling" and I have chosen to
focus on ipfwadm as the leading method and I have used the
following criteria to make my decision:
1. Stability
2. Ease of administarion
3. Accounting
4. Scalability
What I would like to know is:
1. Has anyone had any adverse affects by using ipfwadm or
have they implemented another solution (even commercial
solutions) that have been more beneficial?
2. What factors do you think would contribute to convincing
a non-Linux user to migrate to or setup an initial firewall
usuing ipfwadm? In other words, "Why Linux?" or "Why Linux firewalling?"
3. Has anyone used ipfwadm on a large scale (50+ nodes behind the wall)
and can add to the discussion in relation to performance and/or
performance
degradation?
4. Has anyone compromised a network or host using ipfwadm without
having shell access to the machine it is implemented on?
5. If an administrator was setting up an intial firewall/Internet
access solution, what other factors would he/she want to take into
account in respect to:
a. Running a network with only one translated IP address on an
interface and assigning publicly available IP addressing schemes
on the internal network (NAT) described in rfc1700?
1. Using ipmasquerade and ipfwadm? Pifalls? Benefits?
Same machine?
2. What sort of proxy are you using and how does it
conflict/compliment your firewall solution?
b. Running a network where all nodes behind the wall had
their own IP address that is located in a global routing
table either routing themselves or with their provider:
1. Which protocols and/or ports have they found to be the
most targeted for scans/intrusion attempts?
c. Allowed ICMP packets and/or traceroute packets accross the
network? Reasons for denying or allowing?
d. What sort of internal security threats have you experienced
in relation to abuse/misuse/accidental misuse by your own users?
e. Incorporating other network/system products to compliment your
firewall solution? Router based filtering/access lists?
Intrusion detection/alert products?
I understand that each solution is different for every type of
network/system architechture and for the services that the netowork
provides, but any input would be greatly appreciated.
I am trying to avoid looking like I am on a crusade for Linux,
but think that through very careful examination and explantion
through this article, I can enlighten some future users on the benfits
of using Linux as a viable business solution.
If you have any feedback or would like to submit any references you have
either created or found on the net, please reply to this message or
send an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Any information that I feel applies to my article will be included and
the author will be recognized by name and/or URL. I can also get a
couple
of copies of the magazine for you.
Thanks again.

The Win98 box is on a different network than the Unix box.
Here's the puzzle: I can telnet from win98 to Router1, win98 to
Router2, but not Win98 to Unix. On the other hand, I can also telnet
from Router2 to Unix. How can this be?

Check ifconfig to see if you are getting errors or drops. An=20

nonstandard IRQ, did you tell Linux about it (usually with a setserial=20

to put a server running at 100mbps on the sole 100mbps port, or, since the
workstations can't do 100mbps, place the server on a 10mbps port?

I'm trying to set up a PPP server using RedHat 5.2. I had mgetty and
PPP working fine until I tried to get PAP to work. Now I get the
following in my log file:

My /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file looks like this (one line):

GTE is a half-baked ISP. They are simply a reseller of other internet

GTE sells access tokens to UUnet dialins for its customers. Since
UUnet's dialins have been such a source of spam, most ISPs have
blacklisted them in the sendmail configuration. If you try to send
email from your linux box, most if it will bounce back. You have to
configure your sendmail to forward everything to GTE's mailservers
which is really ugly unreliable mess of Windows NT machines run by a
3rd party that GTE paid to handle their mail service for them.
It gets even worse. All mail you send *MUST* have [EMAIL PROTECTED] in
the From: address. Your [EMAIL PROTECTED] won't work at all. You
have to resort to using the clumsy Reply-To: header instead. If you
don't want people to have your GTE email address you have to use a
bogus GTE address to get past their email filter which is probably a
violation of the TOS.
If you want to receive email you will have to wait 30 seconds where
hopefully one of the WinNT machines will honor your request to
connect. Then wait another 20 seconds for each email message to crawl
to your inbox because the mailserver is 12+ hops away in from your
dialin. It's useless for listserves. Even the GTE employees don't
trust their own mail service. They use a seperate linux box.
Want usenet? This is the about only service other than the billing
department they actually own. GTE will throttle back drastically if
you download more than 20 articles in succession. Apparently they
want you to read all your news articles online instead of offline,
assuming they haven't been automatically deleted by their spam
filters. There are also many assorted posting filters as well. I was
better off purchasing usenet access from a dedicated usenet provider
GTE internet is good for pulling stuff from the web, since it comes
straight off of the UUnet backbone and not from GTE's internal
network. The UUnet's dialins always worked great, too bad they give
you a UUnet IP where you are blacklisted by everyone. Now that there
is a 100 hour limit, even those who spend all their time surfing the
web get socked by their lousy policies.

Check what port and IRQ your modem uses in Windows. If it is a pnp=20
modem make sure isapnp.conf uses the same. And if non-standard, tell=20
Linux about it with setserial in /etc/rc.d/rc.serial.

Subject: ISA ethernet card won't work--modprobe: out of memory?
Date: Mon, 25 Jan 1999 20:49:30 -0600
I just installed Slackware 3.6 and i can't get my ethernet card recognized.
I've reconfigured the card numerous times using its reconfigure disk to use
different IO ports and IRQ's but it still won't work. I'm trying to load a
driver in /etc/rc.d/rc.modules to start the card. It is a generic NE2000
compatible card. I tried uncommenting the proper line in that file
(specifying the IO and IRQ) but I still get the "ethernet card was not
initialized properly" message from /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1. I tried putting the
card in plug and play mode (old 486 though) and use pnpdump and isapnp to
set the IO and IRQ and that part seemed ok, but the module still wouldn't
load right.
I do get a message on bootup that looks like this:
"Updating modul dependencies for Linux 2.0.35"
"modprobe: out of memory"
Is this the cause? I have 8MB of RAM and a 16MB swap partition. Isn't that
enough?
Suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!!

to go past all this and then manually started pppd it would work, but
I'd rather use script. I tried to use RedHat's 5.1 control panel but I
cannot make my modem to autoanswer (&c0s0=1). I've added this string to
init string (after ATZ) and several other places but it does no good.
Is there a way to make modem autoanswer, or if I have to write the
script manually (out of redhat's utility), where would I put this modem
settting to make it work? I know the setting works otherwise because it
works in windows98.
Thanks,
Andrew.

Subject: Lilo Problems

I'm trying to make a remote boot station that uses a boot floppy and Lilo to
pass kernel arguments. However when I try to put Lilo on the floppy by
"Lilo -C /etc/lilo.flop" I get a error that says "not a number: "/dev/nfs"
I'm not sure what I'm going wrong in lilo.flop file. I'm running RedHat 5.2
with the 2.2 Kernel.
boot=/dev/fd0
image=/boot/zImage
root=/dev/nfs
append="nfsroot=10.10.10.10:/remote;ip=10.10.10.30:10.10.10.10:10.10.10.2:25
5.255.255.0:school:off"
Thanks for any help,
Chris

Is this a sign of a hack attack. I only noticed a few of these back=20
on Jan 17, but now I seem to be getting bombarded.
