I just found the problem. I did not enable IP_Forwarding on startup. I
thought that the forwarding was done by IP FireWall Administration, a more
secure alternative. I was wrong, it's all the same thing.

Darrell,
Yes, I think that you are correct. I just checked the RedHat 5.2 box
and find that portmap is sequence 11 (S11portmap) where nfsfs is
sequence 15 (S15nfsfs). BTW, the order of the KILL is reversed: K85nfsfs
& K89portmap.

Had the same problem...
According to a mini-faq I found @ linux.org, Linux probably doesn't like the
plug-and-play features of your card. Get the setup program, if you don't have
it already, and disable the plug-and-play. Linux should be able to recognize
the device. However, Windows may need to install ISA drivers for your card
after you boot into Windows the first time after that. After this, Windows
and Linux should be able to use the Ethernet card in harmony.

Subject: Kernel 2.2.1
Date: Sat, 06 Feb 1999 04:27:57 GMT
Hi,
I have just upgraded about 10 programs (proccps, ncpfs, etc etc) in
order to compile kernel version 2.2.1. I was previously using 2.0.35
(Redhat 5.1). Ok, here is my problema... When I boot to the 2.0.35
kernel, everything is hunky-dory. I am masquerading the linux box and
everyone on my net gets in/out to the internet no problems. When I boot
up the new kernel, here is the deal:
1. My routing table is screwed up, it has multiple entries in it and
some of the entries are wrong.
2. I can access the internet from the linux machine, but the other
users cannot.
Other than this, everything is fine. I think if I can get the routing
table fixed the rest may fall in place, I'm not sure. I know that I
said yes to all the right questions for the masquerading part. I am
using ipchains now and am pretty sure it is all ok too.
When I ping www.yahoo.com from one of the network machines, It does the
dns translation, but I get no response back.... Can you help??
Thanks, Keith

Chris, it appears you have a local network that's connecting to the
internet via machine A. I suspect that the reason B and C don't
communicate well is because your local network may not have a DNS
server. So, when machine C wants to talk to B, it actually goes to the
internet DNS and asks for the location of B.. but the DNS on the
internet does not know about B since it is on a local network behind the
gateway.
That's my guess anyway. What I would try, if you haven't, is placing
the ips of all machines (A, B and C) in there hosts file.. /etc/hosts .
Then they won't try to go to the DNS to resolve the addresses of their
local neighbors.
Take care - Ed

Mark, everything looks pretty normal, except
1) it appears you have an extra \r after you enter the ppp in your chat
script. Notice the send(^M) just before the "Serial connection
established" message.. I don't think that should be there since you've
started the ppp. So if you have "ppp\r" in your chat script, change it
to "ppp".
2. also note that after the "Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/modem" line you
should see an IP being displayed for you, but it's not. This suggests
that things are going well, except that you are not setting the IP.
Check your file /etc/hosts to see whether you are setting your IP or
whether it is left open for the ISP to set. I don't know your
configuration.
It's a guess without seeing more information about your configuration,
but it appears that your chat script is not working. It appears that
the ip is being sent before you initiate the ppp. My configuration uses
fixed IP's so I'm not absolutely sure about this.

Subject: Firewall
Date: Fri, 05 Feb 1999 23:25:18 -0500
Okay,
I've got several computers (3 right now, soon to be 5) all networked
together with 3Com 3c503s (hey, $5 a pop, how could you go wrong?). I
also have a cable modem, running through a 3c509b. Everything works
great...until I try to make one a firewall to give the others online
access.
I've been able to get everything working such that I can ping the
internet from the firewall computer and all other computers on the
network. I can ping the firewalls LAN IP from the LAN computers, AND
the internet side of the firewall. However, I cannot ping anything
outside of my house from the LAN computers.
The firewall howto is great, and got me this far...but I'm stuck
because it does not tell me what to do if I can ping the internet side
of the firewall and not the internet (it just tells me that I have to
have IP forwarding on to do so). I have IP forwarding on, so I'm left
with no other help (my distribution doesn't come with the NET-2 howto
mentioned in the firewall howto, and I haven't the patience to go dig it
up somewhere).
Here are a couple route tables:
firewall computer (Though it's probably not a big deal, I've made myself
anonymous by doctoring my cable modem's IPs. Wherever you see x's in
the IP, it's my cable modem):
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
x.x.x.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 5 eth0
192.168.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 3 eth1
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 4 lo
0.0.0.0 x.x.x.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 13 eth0
And, of course, one of the LAN computer's route table:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 18 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 4 lo
If I try to assign a gateway of 192.168.2.1 (which would be the
firewall computer) route hangs, and I can do nothing over the network
but ping. Go figure.
If you're REALLY interested, here's a few lines from the ifconfig
output:
firewall computer:
...
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:60:97:5D:24:49
inet addr:x.x.x.161 Bcast:x.x.x.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
...
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 02:60:8C:0C:8E:47
inet addr:192.168.2.1 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
...
and the LAN computer:
...
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 02:60:8C:2A:32:68
inet addr:192.168.2.16 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
...
Thank you much for any help...

Date: Fri, 5 Feb 1999 01:28:40 +0100
Hi,
In my network I have a seperate Linux-computer used for internet-access with
IP masquerading. Everything works perfect, FTP included (with ip_masq_ftp).
However, whenever I try to make an FTP connection from another computer to a
server running WAR-FTPD 1.65 it seems there's something wrong. That is,
logging in goes fine, but everything gets stuck while fetching a
directory-listing with the following messages:
LIST
150 Opening ASCII NO-PRINT mode data connection for ls -l
Timer cancelled blocking call
accept: Blocking call cancelled
DoList returned 0
I use WS_FTP 3.00 (but newer version also show this 'problem') and my server
runs S.u.S.E. 5.0 (kernel 2.0.35).
Is this a know bug in ftp_masq_ftp.o and is there an update or does anyone
know another solution to this problem? TIA!
Jeroen

Will only work if you force them to use a proxy. Otherwise run an Ethernet

I have great difficulty with the 905b on my Linux box. I managed to compile the
latest module but the card would crash after a few days use. With debugging
set on it gave various error messages complaining of giant size data packets
and error status (0200, I think). I finally gave up and swapped it with a 3c515

Date: Thu, 4 Feb 1999 17:59:52 -0800
Hello,
I have redhat Linux 5.2 on a box with 2 NIC's in it. There a couple of
Win9x client on either side of the Linux box. Samba handles browsing and
wins, named handles DNS. So, all of my TCP/IP works, but I haven't been
able to get IPX packets from one subnet to the other. I have read the HOWTO
on setting up a IPX router, but I have no IPX server which seems to be a
problem. An IPX tunnel sounded like just what I needed, but all the info
was for a pretty old kernel. New info regarding tunneling refers to modules
already on my Linux box; ipip.o and new_tunnel.o. Can I use these new
modules to pass IPX packets from one subnet to another? Or am I even
looking in the right place?
thx, Ben.

As i see it, your options are:
1) disable sendmail :)
2) add an entry in your /etc/hosts file for the local host:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
sendmail is known to hang on startup unless you have this entry. the entry
should be there by default, but check...
if neither works, I'd say get a differnet NIC card

Well, my script didn't exactly solve the problem yet. It worked the two
times that I tried it before posting that last message. Then, when I booted
up my computer today, I still had to play around with stuff again to get my
IP address. So far, all my script did was to just stay in a loop, running
dhcpcd until it exited successfully. However, today, it didn't exit
successfully when I ran the script. I'm gonna play around with stuff a
little more, and if I get it so that it works every time, I'll post my
results here. Until then, be patient. I'll probably have time to work on it
tomorrow evening.

fetch needs to be run as news.
Once you install a new apps in the path, you usually
have to restart the shell make those apps visible.
You can automate fetchING and texpireING via cron.
This is my crontab for news:
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.

# (Cron version -- $Id: crontab.c,v 2.13 1994/01/17 03:20:37 vixie Exp $)
#
58 0,4,8,12,16,20 * * * /home/news/killfetch.sh
# This is just a shell script that kills fetch and
# makes sure that the lock file didn't linger.
# Sometimes the lockfile will hang about after fetch
# has taken a dive
#
0 0 * * * cp /dev/null /var/spool/mail/news
# This is a nasty practice but useful. All of these

0 3 * * * /usr/sbin/texpire

#
0,30 * * * * /usr/local/sbin/fetch -vv
# fetch at the top of the hour and half past
# If your connection isn't up at the time this

NO NO NO! All leafnode news admin has to be done as news.

setenv NNTPSERVER localhost
works just fine.
You might want to restrict outside access though. Once you set up
leafnode, any idiot on the net can use your machine as a new server.
This can cause nasty scaling problems with leafnode as groups you
never even knew existed get pulled down from the net.
# Deny all incoming NNTP connections
ipfwadm -I -a deny -b -P tcp -D <your-ip>/32 119 -S 0.0.0.0/0
# Let yourself get anything
ipfwadm -I -a accept -b -P all -D 127.0.0.1/32 -S 0.0.0.0/0
These run as root would be a good start. You can put them at the
end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local.
However, this is less relevant without either a static-ip or
a domain name.

Subject: advice needed: home network winNT, Linux, win95
Date: Fri, 05 Feb 1999 04:26:54 +0000
The setup:
One desktop running winNT, hooked through ISDN to internet.
One dekstop running RedHat Linux 5.2 (and win98), no nic.
One laptop running win95, no nic.
Question:
How can I, in general, network these computers? Can I do it without
buying 2 ethernet cards? I would like to share the ISDN connection
among them. Can I use serial cables, or do I have to use IP and
whatever software?
Thanks,
Tom Gordon

Have you tried "-d"?
while ! /usr/sbin/dhcpcd -d
