finally got it to work!!!

NOTES:

1) tossout the old ipfwadm rules. ALL of them. they just get in the way.
   ipfwadm -I -f
   ipfwadm -O -f
   ipfwadm -F -f

2) clear out the ipchains
   ipchains -F input
   ipchains -F output
   ipchains -F forward

3) set everything to ACCEPT  (just want it to work! blocking otherstuff later)
   ipchains -P input ACCEPT
   ipchains -P output ACCEPT
   ipchains -P forward MASQ

4) check the rules
   ipchains -L
   ipchains -M -L     (checks the MASQ)

5) NOW the forwarding
   ipmasqadm autofw -A -r tcp 6112 6112 -h 192.168.0.69
   ipmasqadm autofw -A -r udp 6112 6112 -h 192.168.0.69

THIS worked when switching from 2.0.36 to 2.2.1

6) ipmasqadm must be dl'd as it is not included in any of the upgrade pkgs.
   I had to hunt for the address (which is now buried someplace, grrr.)

I'm going to fiddle with the -h part and see if I can get it to do that
for the entire network. will -h 192.168.0.0/24 work:? we shall see...

I dunno though. multiple machines routing through a single port? How is it
supposed to know which one to route back to? Unless it tags each packet on
the outgoing run, but then incoming packets would not be tagged the same way.

Now I can go waste some zerglings. BBQ anyone?  :)

Subject: ftp under linux is unreliable
Date: Wed, 3 Feb 1999 22:42:25 -0800

Under Linux I connect to my ISP at 40,000+ bps using ppp. I am able to
browse, read/send mail, and read the news groups.

However, almost all of my attempts to ftp files hang/stall after the first
1% or 2% of the file transfer. As I can drop out of Linux, boot Win98
and transfer the same files, from the same sites, at rates consistently
over 4.0 KB, I am assuming there is something wrong with my Linux
configuration.

My ppp monitor window does not show any packet errors, so it must
be a case of one side or the other waiting for something it isn't getting.

Any suggestions?

Are you really dynamic with shaw.wave.ca or did they just tell you
that. @Home, your sister company allows static but you could do static
on your linux but inside a NAT (I see you posted with wintel) and run
the 9x or NT with DHCP. DHCP with cable modems has been nothing but
trouble with linux.

Yes, they can.  You need to configure your Linux box with IPMasquarading.
Then on the WIN 95 boxes, in the network setup configuration, set the
gateway to the linux box IP address.

Don't think so.  My cable modem setup by the ISP required the hardwired MAS
address on the network card.  This is unique to every card manufactured.
In other words, your cable modem account can only talk with your specific
network card.

Ah, so there are actually a few people floating around within the

At least it's something...and it's a lot better than much of the information,

Same place the distribution came from.  For example, for RedHat 5.2, sources are on the

Only if the directories are exported with some restriction that requires a
reverse DNS.  NFS, as rule does not check the IP address of the machine
doing a mount.

Also, your IP will not change until you shut down.

No. HTTP packets are just like telnet and SMTP packets, they just use
different destination (server) ports. Where Telnet uses TCP port 23
and SMTP TCP port 25, HTTP uses TCP port 80, usually. Your ipfwadm
rules are the most generic masquerading rules available and web access
should work, especially if telnet and email work. You've probably
misconfigured the Netscape client. For instance, you do *not* want to
set the masquerading box as a proxy, unless you have a proxy running
on it. IP masquerading is *not* a proxy.

There have been several threads about how to set up a linux box to act as 
a masquerading firewall for a home network connecting to the Internet via 
<insert high speed technology's name here>. Check out the ones in 
January on www.dejanews.com. Check out the HOWTO's and mini-HOWTO's at 
www.linux.org (under support) that have to do with DHCP, DNS, Firewall, 
NET3, etc.

My ISP doesn't care about my NIC's MAC address. It's my cable modem 
proper that cares. So, if I change NIC, I power down the cable modem for 
at least 60 seconds in order to *really* erase the volatile memory. Then, 
on power up, the modem sees the new NIC and presto.

I think he means having his friends dial his linux box on a (cough) phone 
modem. I suspect that somewhere in your contract with ComCast it will say 
that you are prohibited from reselling the service and from becoming a 
competitor of theirs. It also probably says that if your usage impedes 
the ability for others to enjoy the "service' then they can take 
unilateral (and swift) action.

I wish to host several domain names on the same computer is this possible ?.

They will also need email.

I have been allocated 16 IP's by my ISP. do I need to use these ?.

Does Red Hat use BIND 8?  It lets you put a statement like 

        listen-on { 127.0.0.1; 192.168.1.100; };

in /etc/named.conf.

Use the software that came with the disk to disable plug and play.
set an irq and an address for the card.

I think that card is ne2000?  I may be wrong.
