Subject: Can ping, not much else, tho
Date: Fri, 05 Feb 1999 14:50:29 -0800
Hello,
In my small home network, I have 3 machines:
A - linux machine sharing ppp connection via ip masq
- ip addr: 192.168.1.1
B - linux desktop
- ip addr: 192.168.1.2
C - dual boot win98/linux laptop
- ip addr: 192.168.1.5
The ip masquerading part is working swimmingly. Both
client machines can access the internet fine.
The problem: machine C cannot telnet or ftp into machine
B, nor can machine C, when in windoze, see any of the
samba shares on machine B. (Note: A<->B is fine as is
A<->C for all services.) However, machine C can ping machine
B and vice-versa.
To get the ip-masq to work, I had to set the default
gateways on machine B and C to be 192.168.1.1. Does
this have anything to do with my woes?
Thanks to anyone who can help. My ip-masq script is at
the end of this post if it is at all useful.
Thanks,
Chris

Hello all,
I am having a terrible time trying to configure my EEpro100B with

Booting system with 2.0.36 everythings OK.
With 2.2.1 no networking boots OK.

I am having a related problem...
I figured it out once before, and didn't have time to write it all
down...
so here I am again...
My linux box can see both networks... and my inside network can ping
the IP addresses of both cards in the linux box (which indicates to me
that things
are almost working).... but I can't get any further...
The external network has a subnet mask of
255.255.192.0
but when I start trying to use the Linux box as a router I see another
entry appear in
the route table indicating a second route for 255.255.255.0
does this have something to do with my problem?
thanks
mitch.
PS please cc my mail if you can help me... my newsfeed has not been

That's odd. On my network I have two win95 machines at 192.168.0.1 and
192.168.0.2 and a RH5.2 box at 192.168.0.3. Everything seems to work
properly (internal access to all machines and internet access via ipmasq and
diald).

I had to change part of the settings for either diald or ipmasq (I can't
remember which) because one of them wanted to use 192.168.0.1 and
192.168.0.2 as virtual IP addresses of some kind. After I changed that
setting everything worked properly. The problem that I have is that every
ten and fifteen minutes diald logs in my linux box for two minutes, and then
disconnects. As far as I can tell it is something to do with domain name
(read machine name) lookups running on my win95 network (which also uses
TCP/IP). Or is this related to the problem you have mentioned above?
Andrew Bryson, Christchurch New Zealand
http://shell.ihug.co.nz/~leight/andrew/index.html
PS. I managed to get around the problem (if others are having the same one)
by not allowing diald to connect when it receives a domain name request.
This means that whenever I want to connect to the internet I have to try to
access an external IP address directly (which I do by setting my email
program's pop3 server to the ip address rather than the domain name of the
pop server). If anyone has a more elegant solution, please help...

I have the same problem... but I have got valid (not *.0) ip
addresses....
My gateway machine can see and ping and telnet to hosts on both nets
my internal machines can ping both nics in the linux box, but they can't
get to
anything else on the internet
although I do see the activity lights blinking on the internet-side
network card.
when I run route, I have a gateway, but when I try connecting from
inside to the
internet another route appears
the subnet mask of the outside card is supposed to be
MASK=255.255.192.0
I have guessed from the fact that my name server is 209.53.0.1, that my
NETWORK=209.53.0.0
but this extra route with a mask of 255.255.255.0 keeps appearing...

I understand it has something to do with removing the securetty file
(which lists allowable local terminals for login)
but to close the GAPPING hole that leaves perhaps you could create a
/etc/usertty or /etc/login.access file??
I've heard you can somehow specify valid IP's.... not bulletproof, but
not as bad as wide open and for us newbie's,
it would be much easier to log in as root when we need to do something

Hi !
After having struggled for a day or so and followed this thread all the
way through - I could not find the right posting for my problem. :(
I got a Firewall/squid/mascerading linux suse 5.1 box (internal
192168.2.1, external 195.34.153.103) to connect my privat network to a
cable modem.
Everything worked fine for connecting 192.168.2.2 and 192.168.2.3 they
have inet connection and can also icq etc...
But when assigning an IP adress higher than 192.168.2.3 to any of the
hosts (i noticed when assigning a new computer), then onyl the lan is
visible, but the inet is unreachable from all IP >3.
As it was my firts installation, I guess i must have goofed some mask ..
but I could not find the right one.
Any help appriciated - see schema & rc.config for details - (please also

As I understand it, ifconfig would be worthless.
As I read it, he is telnetting from A -> B, and while on B, wants to
know the IP address of A.
in this case, he could do a who, parse the output for the hostname (the
last field(in parens)), then do an nslookup on it.

On debian, also. I think it was /etc/securetty. I just did a ls of /dev/tty*
or something like that (I don't remember) into a file and appended that to the
securetty file. Worked like a charm - now root can login from anywhere, and I
can get hacked one step easier..:)

I think it first checks the forwarders first, then the local domains. The
docs seem to state that (see http://www.isc.org/bind8/options.html). Then,
if not local, it will try the root servers. Perhaps it is redundant what I
did, but it seems to work.
I modified the named.ca file to remove references to *.root-servers.net,
placed my local nameservers in that file, and used the forward first option.
If you can't access the root servers, you might as well never try to reach
them directly. But, if I remove the reference to the named.ca in named.conf,
I cannot query for anything outside the local bogus domain.
Anyone with a better solution? It's my first day on the new .conf syntax.

Dan Harter

Yeah, this is one of the more interesting TCP anomalies: Solaris won't
ACK/FIN a segment with data.

It's a problem for any app that puts the FIN flag on a data segment
that's talking to Solaris.

Subject: Warning: Connecting Linux Redhat 5.2 to ISP that supports SMTP
Date: Fri, 05 Feb 1999 16:24:16 GMT
A warning for anyone installing linux for the first time who has an ISP that
supports users receiving e-mail via SMTP (aswell as, or instead of POP3) -
Demon Internet being a prime example:
The RedHat 5.2 installation (and others), by default, runs sendmail at
startup. This will cause you a problem if you haven't set up users on Linux
that correspond to the e-mail addresses at which people send you e-mail - as
soon as you connect, sendmail swings into action and receives all waiting
mail via SMTP but it will bounce all mail for users it doesn't know about
which is probably all of them (unless your e-mail address is
[EMAIL PROTECTED]!).
eg: my e-mail address is [EMAIL PROTECTED], mab is not set up as a user
on my linux system so all e-mail to mab gets bounced (not anymore!).
The thing do to, especially if you want to use POP3 to recieve your e-mail
(like I do) is just to remove sendmail from the startup files.
I only lost about 10 e-mails because of this - hopefully this will help
someone else to not lose any.
Michael.

I can't give you a solution to your problem, but rest assured your not
alone. ppp seems to be one of the most annoying things to configure.
Just do what I do, go outside , scream, take a few deep breaths and
maybe by then someone will suggest something you haven't tried.

Software compression is not enabled by default unless you load related=20
modules in a certain order. But that takes memory resources and may=20
not help much, since current modems already do hardware compression. =20
Although, the vj header compression supposedly helps.
If ifconfig is not showing errors and drops, then it could be a DNS=20
problem. If you do not have properly configured DNS for remote=20
connections, make sure there are names for their IP's in /etc/hosts=20
and that /etc/resolv.conf only contains nameservers that are currently=20
connected. /etc/ppp/ip-up.local and ip-down.local are handy for=20
manipulating resolv.conf based on connecting IP.
