Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
As far as I know, one can insert a new route by adding the
corresponding line into the file /etc/route.conf (SuSE 5.3). But
again, using the route command (like route add ...etc) seems to work
too.
I would like to know the difference. I am very curious because I have
read different howto files but never found a hint about this issue
(the *difference*).
So when should I edit the route.conf file and when should I use the
route command? By the way, using the route.conf file seems
straightforward to me, while I cannot figure out where a new route
goes when using the "route add" command (of course, one can always use
route -n or netstat, but that is another story).
Thanks

The company I work for recently purchased some linux PCs and
everything seems to be going o.k. with the exception of one
problem: when the machines are attached to a network (even
a cross over to one of the other machines) they hang when
attempting to start the network service during boot. If
I remove the connection until after boot, everything behaves
o.k. I've tracked it down to an 'ifconfig' command in the
'ifup' script. The command works out to be:
ifconfig eth0 199.183.25.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast
199.183.25.255
I put in echo statements to narrow it down to this specific command.
My configuration is as follows:
AS-ProX 350MHz, 128Mb
Intel EtherExpress Pro+ 100Tx2 PCI Lan Controller
Red Hat 5.2
Linux Kernel 2.2.0-Final & 2.2.1 (I tried both)
Thanks in advance,

beginner on Linux but there were many version/company of Linux. Would
anyone can introduce to me.
Also, I also plan to build a network (Lan) in my company. Let Linux be my

Look in /etc/diald.conf.
There are "filter rules" that determine how much idle time to allow
under different circumstances. These reules are either in the above
file, or some file referrenced by this file. In my system (Slackware)
the filter rules are in /usr/lib/diald/standard.filter.
I modified my standard.filter to increase the timeout values from 120
seconds to 600 seconds. There were numerous lines looking something like
the following:
accept tcp 120 tcp.dest=tcp.www
I changed all the "120"s to "600"s.

Subject: Linux here I come!
Date: Sat, 6 Feb 1999 21:11:17 +0100
I am preparing to start moving some of my home network over to Linux. I have
three windows machines and want at least two of them to run RedHat., In the
meantime I also had a DOS machine (486) with a BBS and had tried to install
MS networking with an NE2000 card, but never manahed to get it to work. The
machine has a 500 MB harddisk and B/W Hercules card (now that's old) but no
CD-ROM, so I want to get it on the network as a trial for the rest and to
learn a little about Linux.
I have managed to install Monkey Linux from 5 floppies, and wonder if this
is the way. I shall have to start from scratch (I don't even know how to
edit a text file in Linux :-(. I would like to use Monkey (or another mini)
to connect the 486 to my Windows TCP/IP network so I can progress from there
(then I will have access to cable Internet and a CD-ROM at least, as well as
all the software waiting on my network machines...
Is Monkey a good choice, or is maybe a cludgier choice better: just get the
TCP/IP running. Is there a newbie's guide to something so simple? (All the
HOWTOs I read assume I know how to edit a Linux text file...)

Subject: IP masquerading
Date: Sat, 06 Feb 1999 21:00:52 GMT
I've got a problem: I'm running Slackware Linux release 3.5 with a kernel
updated to 2.0.35 (from the 3.6 release). I'm trying to use my Linux box as
an Internet gateway for my LAN. I can connect to the 'net and cruise it just
fine, and I can do everything on the ethernet network just fine. But I
cannot get Linux to do proper IP masquerading so that I can cruise the 'net
from the other computers on the network. I've compiled just about every
Networking option that has to do with routing and masquerading that I could
find, but IP masquerading still does not work. I've tried the following
commands:
ipfwadm -F -p deny
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.2.2/22 -D 0.0.0.0/0
without success. It accepts them without error, and I can do a "ipfwadm -F
-l" and see that the commands executed properly, but it simply does not work.
When I try to use:
ipfw a m all from 192.168.2.2/22 to 0.0.0.0/0
I get the following messages:
add masquerading all from 192.168.2.2/22 to 0.0.0.0/0
ipfw: setsockopt(IP_FW_ADD_FWD): Invalid argument
What does this mean and how do I fix it?

Subject: WIN 98 as a Gateway?
Date: Sat, 06 Feb 1999 16:13:05 -0600
At home I have a two machine network. Win 98 on one box, Redhat 5.2 on
the other. Currently I am networked using ether net and a 10 base T
hub. I'm not running Samba but I don't think that affects my question.
My windows machine has a modem which I use to access the internet. The
Redhat machine is one I borrowed form work and I don't wish to put my
modem into the Redhat box. Can I set up my Win98 machine as a gateway
and access the internet from the Redhat box? I have found a software
called WinGate that looks promising but it costs money:( Is there other
solutions to this problem that I am not aware of? Ideally I would like
both machine to have access to the internet via the Win 98 machines
modem. Is this possible??

Hello,
Yes... it's back - port forwarding and PPTP.
I've checked with all the HOWTO's, newsgroups, etc. and been unable to find
any references to portforwarding in 2.2.1. My configuration is as follows:
1) Linux box running 2.2.1 and ipchains (public IP)
2) WinNT server running PPTP (internal static IP)
3) WinNT web server (internal static IP)
As I'm sure you've guessed, I want to forward the incoming web and PPTP
traffic to the appropriate internal machines.
I have looked through the PPTP HOWTO (draft) and also redir and some other
sources. So far, I cannot find anyone who has tried portwarding and PPTP
with a 2.2.1 kernel.
I have located ipmasqadm... according to the documentation, it works with
2.1.x kernels. I tried it with my kernel - it compiled and ran with no
errors. For a test, I set the input and output default policies to accept in
ipchains. I also used masqing (it works fine). I then used ipmasqadm to
forward web traffic from the Linux box to the WinNT IP and port. No luck...
the attempted HTTP connection just timed out. This makes me think that
either ipmasqadm doesn't work with 2.2.1 or I did something wrong.
Also, I noticed that the 2.2.1 kernel support's GRE packets. I included this
in my kernel. I have not been able find any concrete documentation on this
feature. Any ideas?
Well... any suggestions, guideance, experience? Let me know!
Thank you for help!

See 'man route'. In /etc/rc.d/rc.local (or wherever) delete any=20
default route to your LAN and use more specific LAN routing. Then=20
pppd defaultroute will work and you will still be able access your=20
LAN. For example at work I think I have something like:
/sbin/route del default
/sbin/route add -net 192.168.6.0 eth0
/sbin/route add -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 gw router eth0
Where we are on 192.168.6.0 subnet and router is listed in /etc/hosts.

I use ppp rather extensively, and when someone says "there's a bug in
ppp-2.3.5" my reaction is "of course there is!" but I really couldn't
tell you what it is. I certainly don't have the level of problems
that people are describing in this thread, but my ppp connections are
far from rock solid either. Of course, I can't figure out whether the
problems are associated with ppp under linux or with my ISP (getting
my ISP's tech support to help debug the problem is useless: they only
support their software under Windows).
My problems all consist of seemingly random disconnects. Here are
some of the things I've run into:
1) I couldn't send large files to my ISP's mail server. The problem
seems to be that their initial ppp negotiation allows a mtu of 1524;
if I just go with that (don't set the mtu in my config files) the
large packet would hang. Presumably a bad router between me and my
ISP's mail server (but one has to question the intelligence of having
the ppp connection ask for an mtu of 1524 and then not being able to
have that mtu get through to your own mail servers). Fix: use an mtu
of 1500. Somebody in this group suggested this might really be a
kernel problem. I don't know enough to say yea or nay.
2) At one time I was having SEVERE problems with random disconnects.
I would try to ftp a large file, and at one point in the file, the
connection would be dropped. I would reconnect, and at roughly (but
not exactly) the same point, the connection would drop again. The
fix: set up a firewall to only allow out packets with my currently
assigned IP. Apparently the dead connections (even after I quit the
programs with the dead connections) were still trying to send out
packets to finally close out the connection. The disconnect wouldn't
consistently happen at the first packet with the wrong address, so I
can't attribute it to that problem directly. However, the firewall
eliminated the bulk of these random disconnects.
3) If a program tries to send packets too early in the connection
process, the connection seems to get dropped. I'm not sure how to
define "too early," but if ifconfig isn't showing ppp0, then I believe
that is "too early." It seems like this one has to be the kernel or
pppd.
4) Sometimes I just can't connect. The entire connection process
seems to go through OK (all the usual LCP negotiation etc.), and then
the connection is dropped.
5) I STILL get some random disconnects. I've even set my modem (or at
least I think I have: getting comprehensive documentation for modem
commands is also a never ending battle) NEVER to hang up on carrier
loss or go into command mode based on '+++'. They're not from
timeouts at my ISP's end: this happens in the middle of a file
transfer sometimes.
I've seen the last three in 2.0.36 and 2.2.1 (the first two problems I
found and fixed under 2.0.36; in all cases I use ppp-2.3.5).
Again, I can't attribute most of these directly to the ppp support in
the kernel. But it certainly wouldn't surprise me at all if there
were problems with ppp in the kernel.

programs. You'll run 'cartctl' in your startup scripts. If memory

Your ISP has assigned your an IP address range of 192.168.0.40 - 47 ???
Forgive me, but everything in the range 192.168.XXX.XXX is reserved for
private networks are are not routable over the Internet (the backbone
routers discard all traffic to/from these addresses). To connect you,
they would have to be doing IP masquerading at the ISP. This sounds very
strange.
