I'll try that, too - alternatively, isn't there a shift to using the
mysterious "IP Chaining" method?

Try to use samba to transfer files only; it is much faster. You may retain a
copy of your network file on your local drive to speed up process.
Good luck

I have a compaq deskpro which has a PCI bus.
I have a Madge AT+ringnode (isa) card which should be supported by Linux
2.0.32 but I cannot get it to spot the card when I boot.
I have tried forcing Token Ring support and rebuilding the kernel but all to
no avail.
ifconfig returns unknown adapter.
Any bright people out there got any suggestions?
Many thanks,
Mark.

First of all, try writing in Englisch almost everybody on the Net speaks
englisch except for most Germans and French people.
I think, that you should tackle your problems in more smaller pieces.
Firstly how do you address when you whant to mail inside?
Secondly how does your system handle internal DNS with MX records?
Thirdly when do you deside to forward mail?
If you could be so kind to draw a scetch and write down exactly what your
problem is (step by step), then we can solve this.

I need help on this matter!!
What we want to do is do a dial up networking thing like
- Run a samba server throgh a ppp conection (me)
- Run Win95-98 system to Share files
IS this possible !!!
Can this finally test the general knowledge of the expert Admins and linux
experts!!
The perpose of this is to prove that linux is more capable than Novell
Networking
We WANT to share stuff not just his crap!!!
You see he has gone into the Regestry (win95) and made is very hard to use
Microsoft Networking by in the Network Config he has deleted the file and
printer shareing option and when you click add (in netcfg, Win95) he has
delted all the services!!!
So we want to be Bad people!!!
So that is the story and Can the Linux Community Prove that He is a #@! and
Novell Networking can not bet Linux!!!

There is a howto on coinnecting to NT servers. Your friend is right, M$

But read the howto (I read it once but can't remember it).

You have several options, in Kernel 2.2.0 is standard IP forwarding build in.
(Though to my opnion the 2.2.0 kernel needs some adjusting).
So i suggest you download rinted this is a very good portforwarding deamon and
very easy to use.

Date: Mon, 01 Feb 1999 23:22:52 -0800
I want to route packets destined for a certain IP into oblivion.
Basically I'm wondering if there's "bit bucket" IP, analogous to
/dev/null for the filesystem. My whole point is to bar access to this IP
w/o running any firewalling crap (I have my reasons), and also make the
connection simply timeout when attempting to reach this IP (e.g. no
connection refused or no route to host messages, which is what would
happen if I be a bad netizen and route all packets destined for this
address to some arbitrary address.) Thanks!

post your dmesg. Are the machines *identical*? Same for the NICs?
Obviously the kernel isn't recognizing your second NIC; either the NIC is
bad or you're configuring it incorrectly.

/etc/hosts.allow is only for your TCP wrappered programs, if you're running httpd
standalone it may or may not pay any attention to this file, I'm not exactly sure.
Being as I have extremely limited knowledge of Apache I'll shut up now, but I'm
guessing you've tried telnetting into the box with no success as well. That would
probably rule out my theory anyways.

Because if you can't get in directly as root, then you have to compromise
TWO accounts before you can seriously hack the system instead of just
one account. I'm no mathematician, but I'd venture a guess that that
makes it FOUR times as hard to subvert.

I'm working at putting together my RH5.2 system, and have been pretty
successful getting everything installed to this point, but now I'm
kind of lost as to the direction I need to go in. I'm currently doing
the dial-up ISP thing, but will move to cable as soon as I get things
set up properly and am sure about security. Right now, I'm having a
few problems in getting started.
1) I can't seem to telnet into my linux box unless I start up a
server manually. I usually do this on port 5001 if that matters.
That works fine. So why won't it work for good ol' port 23? I
connect, but I never get a login prompt... just a lost connection.
2) Samba doesn't want to accept my login. I can see the machine in
my Net 'Hood, and it will ask for a password for resource
"\\LINUX\IPC$". I type in my PW and it always says that it's
incorrect. I can't type it incorrectly THAT many times. :-)
3) This might be a Win98 thing or might not, but I configured TCP/IP
to look at my linux box for DNS first. Whenever I try to name my
linux box, the dial-up crud comes up. Does this mean that DNS isn't
working on my linux machine?
Thanks for all of your help,

You don't say what cpu your Linux box is running or whether the NIC=20
worked in Windows. One thing to note is that certain PCI NIC's may=20
not work with P60 and some P75's and maybe others with older PCI. We=20

Removing the extra RAM did not help. It would not boot normally until=20
I removed the NIC. A call to the NIC manufacturer revealed that they=20
were surprised it worked at all. So now it is happily using an ISA=20
NIC.
Another question is, did you use the software that came with the NIC=20
to check or make initial port and IRQ settings , or is it pnp?

now there is another funny aspect in this case:
I tried to automate the ssh and fetchmail-commands in a script till I
find a solution for the problem and wrote the following script :
#/bin/bash
ssh -C -f me@popserver -L 11110:popserver:110 sleep 20
fetchmail -f .fetchmailrc.NOpreconnect
and got the error:
fetchmail: POP3 connection to localhost failed: local error: Connection

fetchmail: Query status=2
so I inserted a sleep 2 between the ssh and the fetchmail-command to give
my system enough time to do whatever needs to be done.
and I suceeded in this case !!
BUT: when trying the same trick in my .fetchmailrc (big time-values to
give enough time for all)
poll localhost proto pop3 port 11110 keep pass mypass: preconnect "ssh -C
-f me@popserver -L 11110:popserver:110 sleep 120;sleep 10"
I got the well-known error:
