I've heard that some ISP's have begun doing that to cut down on smurf attacks.
note: I can't ping microsoft either and I know my ping works.

If you're running Linux, make sure you have all kernel source code
headers (for RedHat that means kernel-headers and kernel-source RPMs).
Hope this helps.

Date: Mon, 08 Feb 1999 09:58:45 GMT
I have recently set up ip_masq and forwarding . Im running linux 2.0.36.
I have my cable modem going into my linux box and a 2nd nic going to my
Win pc. After reboot i am able to ping my Win pc from my linux box and
vice versa. I am also able to briefly surf the net from my Win pc
(loads about 3 pages) before it stops getting a response from the linux
box. I am still able to surf from the linux box, but now trying to ping
the win pc gets no response. Pinging 10.0.0.1 still receives a response.
Any ideas why the linux box is dropping the ip and not responding to
10.0.0.2?
Thanks for any help

This one has really stumped me.
I have a lab setup where I have an Ethernet backbone and Token-ring
subnet. I have made a linux box as being the router between the two
segments. TCP/IP and Samba work great. IPX is another issue. My ipx
routing is being done with ipxripd-0.7-4 (have also tried 0.7-1).
Linux boxes sitting on the Token-ring have no problem seeing the Netware
servers across the router, 'slist' and there they are. The problem is
that I cannot get Microsoft machines to see the netware servers. I have
tried setting the microsoft network numbers and just about everything
else. Normally NT, 95, 98 will have Netware servers show up in the
browse list immediatly after installation of NWclient with ipx/spx
support...no real configuring to be done. But not when they are behind
my Linux router.
I have the router box configured with primary adapter as ethernet, frame
802.3 and the token ring (ibm-auto16/4) with frame type of 802.2TR. I
have tried other frames on the token ring, snap, 802.2, and only the
802.2TR allows the linux boxes on the token ring to see the Netware
Servers on the other side of the router.
Previous to this I have been successful in using a linux router to go
from a Token-ring backbone to a internal ethernet. Both linux and
Microsoft boxes could see Netware servers on the backbone. Now my
company has upgraded the backbone to Ethernet and having a Token-ring
subnet just isn't working.
My questions are:
Has anyone ever done this, Ethernet backbone to Token-ring subnet with
IPX?
Do I need a different frame type coming out of the linux router other
than 802.2TR?
Do I need to have my Netware servers using a frametype compatible with
the Linux's 802.2TR?
Is there a setting for Winnt, Win95, Win98, Win3x, Dos, OS2 that I could
set such that they would work as the Linux clients do?
IPX gurus ....HELP!

Has anyone any experience in setting up a linux PC to behave either like

I am looking to route prints automatically from AS400 to a number of
linux PCs withe printers attached with no user intervention. R/H 5.1

A good network administrator would not assign a static IP address in
the range managed by any DHCP server. A DHCP server should reightfully
assume that any IP address it has not issued a licence for, and which are
in the range administered by this server should be available and not used.
In addition the DHCP server should leave a range of addresses excluded
from its jurisdiction. These addresses can then be assigned to servers
and other machines that need a static IP address.

What happens if you do this is that your DNS server assumes it knows
everything about your domain, so therefore you should make sure that
everything in the mydomain.dk defined at your ISP is faithfully duplicated
in your own DNS server. You can then also add your own internal machines
to that domain. This gives no problems as long as no other DNS server
has specified your DNS server as a NS for any zone, and your domain is
duplicated faithfully.
This is actually the only way you could add additional internal host names
to your DNS server and not showing these names to the entire internet.

Your eth0 should not have a default route assigned unless you have a
real router connected to you ethernet. Your default route should be
assigned to your ppp connection as this is the router to the internet.
Other systems on your ethernet must specify your linux machine as the
default router before they can access the internut through the ppp

segments. TCP/IP and Samba work great. IPX is another issue. My ipx
routing is being done with ipxripd-0.7-4 (have also tried 0.7-1).
Linux boxes sitting on the Token-ring have no problem seeing the Netware
servers across the router, 'slist' and there they are. The problem is
that I cannot get Microsoft machines to see the netware servers. I have
tried setting the microsoft network numbers and just about everything
else. Normally NT, 95, 98 will have Netware servers show up in the
browse list immediatly after installation of NWclient with ipx/spx
support...no real configuring to be done. But not when they are behind
my Linux router.
I have the router box configured with primary adapter as ethernet, frame
802.3 and the token ring (ibm-auto16/4) with frame type of 802.2TR. I
have tried other frames on the token ring, snap, 802.2, and only the
802.2TR allows the linux boxes on the token ring to see the Netware
Servers on the other side of the router.
Previous to this I have been successful in using a linux router to go
from a Token-ring backbone to a internal ethernet. Both linux and
Microsoft boxes could see Netware servers on the backbone. Now my
company has upgraded the backbone to Ethernet and having a Token-ring
subnet just isn't working.
My questions are:
Has anyone ever done this, Ethernet backbone to Token-ring subnet with
IPX?
Do I need a different frame type coming out of the linux router other
than 802.2TR?
Do I need to have my Netware servers using a frametype compatible with
the Linux's 802.2TR?
Is there a setting for Winnt, Win95, Win98, Win3x, Dos, OS2 that I could
set such that they would work as the Linux clients do?
IPX gurus ....HELP!

You should be able to cure this by adding entries in /etc/aliases to
redirect mail to actual users. It's also worth having entries for
addresses such as postmaster etc, which you might want to redirect to
root. Once you've edited /etc/aliases you have to run a script to
activate those changes. I think you just type newaliases, though I
can't remember. I believe the Redhat installation gives you a
default /etc/aliases file which includes a remark detailing which
script to run.
I've got sendmail working great for my SMTP mail. It's a very powerful
and impressive program if set up correctly, and it seems a shame to
remove it unnecessarily!!
