Hi, I am having a problem with my school. I have a windows PC and just got
a linux box set up. Now they won't let me get a 2nd IP for the linux box.
Is there anyway that I can get both onto the network using 1 IP address? If
not, is it possible to network just my 2 computers together while keeping
the win98 machine hooked to the rest of the network?
Thanks,
Jeremy Brook

These lines you only need when you've compiled these options as modules.
When you've compiled them into the kernel you won't need them.

I only have these two lines in my rc.local:
ipfwadm -F -p deny
ipfwadm -F -a masquerade -S 192.168.0.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0
Have you subnetted your 192.168.0.0 net? To just masqerade the whole
C-net 192.168.0.0 net you would use a 24 bit netmask.

P.S. I use kernel 2.0.33 (with masquerading compiled in) in a slackware
3.4 distribution.

Subject: Apache - JServ - postgreSQL jdbc problem
Hey all.
This may not be the correct place to ask this, but
it's the closest I could find:
I hava postgreSQL RDBMS running, as well as Apache
3.3(?) and Jserve 1.0.
I have written a java test program using the
postgres JDBC driver to access the DB,
everythings fine. When I try to use the JDBC
driver in a servlet, I get the Exception that it
can't find the driver class. I've tried setting
the apache owner to different users, and have set
the CLASSPATH variable to the correct location,
but still can't get it to find it. I'm quite a
newbie at Linux/apache/java/ and postgreSQL, so I
don't entirely understand who owns the httpd
process, and what environment variables it can
see.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

help please.
I'm using RH 5.2 as a local server - what I want to do is use it as a
gateway to the
Internet, setup as a "on-demand" dealt. That is when when a
workstation/client
pops up their browser [Netscape] that the server will fire up the modem

Any suggestions - a script using DIP?, Minicom?, another something?

Hi,
I've read the info about (i)ppp, isdnctrl, mgetty, ssh, etc. but I
still can;t figure out how I can setup my linux-box as a dialin
server.
All I'd like to do is use the W95 machine at work, and have it call at
home so I can use Linux at work.
- I've tried using isdnctrl to pick up an incoming call, but all I see
in /var/log/messages is: incoming call from <number> to <number> --
Ignored.
Why is the incoming call ignored. What should I do to answer it.
- Is mgetty meant to be used with ISDN? If not, what should be used?

Subject: Totally wierd problem with multilink-PPP over an ISDN TA
Date: Mon, 08 Feb 1999 23:02:33 GMT
My Linux box has served me very succesfully for many years as, among other
things, a router for my LAN. I connect to my ISP using a 3Com Impact IQ ISDN
TA.
I recently upgraded the machine from a 486DX2/50 to a Pentium 100, and from an
ancient version of Slackware to R.H. v5.2.
After solving all the ususal problems associated with such an upgrade, I still
have one remaining issue. I am unable to connect to my ISP in the same manner
as I have in the past. Instead of a 2 B channel multilink-ppp connection over
my ISDN TA, I am running on only a single B channel, halving my bandwidth.
Here are the specifics...
On Slackware, I ran pppd from the command line, as root, with no command line
options. In /etc/ppp/options I had all the necessary options...
/dev/cua1
115200
connect -f <chat script>
user <user listed in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets>
remotename <server listed in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets>
crtscts
defaultroute
lock
204.167.97.17:
The chat script...
ABORT BUSY ABORT "NO CARRIER" '' ATZ OK ATD<phone number> CONNECT
pppd would load, dial, connect, bring up the first B channel, authenticate, then
bring up the second channel, and I would have almost 115200bps of bandwidth to
the 'Net.
Then the upgrade...
Now, under R.H. v5.2, I used Linuxconf to configure PPP. After checking all the
config files in /etc/ppp and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, I was convinced all
was well, so I rebooted.
pppd came up, it dialed, connected, I had throughput, but the second B channel
stayed inactive. I tried changing, rearranging, editing, everything I could
think of to all the config files, but nothing made any difference. Actually, I
shouldn't say that. Sometimes it wouldn't work at all. |-) I even tried
calling pppd myself using my old config. That's when I really stumbled upon the
problem.
You recall my old chat script...
ABORT BUSY ABORT "NO CARRIER" '' ATZ OK ATD<phone number> CONNECT
And the new one generated by Linuxconf...
'' 'ATZ'
'OK' 'ATD<phone number>'
'CONNECT' ''
I noticed that my connect script did not explicitly indicate to send nothing
after expecting the "CONNECT". It worked great back under Slackware so I didn't
even question it. But the new script does explicitly call for a send nothing
after expecting the connect. I tried removing it so the script looked like
this...
'' 'ATZ'
'OK' 'ATD<phone number>'
'CONNECT'
When I did that, pppd dialed, connected, brought up the first B channel,
appeared to authenticate, and then it brought up the second B channel. My ISP
checked their log files, and said it looked like a normal login. But, I had NO
throughput. None from the Linux box itself, and none from the LAN, indicating
routing was down too. I looked at the interface config, it looked fine, in fact
identical to the config present when I had throughput. Same story for the
routing table. In fact, everything I checked indicated that everything was
fine, and I should be up and running. But I wasn't. I fiddled with everything
quite a bit more, then reverted everything to its default settings and tried
again. Same thing.
So, I'm stumped, and left with only one B channel running at the moment. Any
help would be very grealy appreciated. TIA!!!

Reply-To: ${julies/newsreply}[email protected]
HEEEELP! I'm getting to a stage of wanting throw things around the
room and scream very loudly a lot at all animate and inanimate
objects and living beings in my vicinity.
I've a Kingston KNE100TX Ethernet card (really DC41140 based IIRC)
I'm trying to get working under Linux.
It *works*, but forces itself to work 100BaseTX half-duplex/CDSMA
(sp.) whatever I try to do with options/args.
Remote end is a Linux box, doing 100BaseTX Full-duplex -- forced,
for technical reasons due to the autosensing/negotation not always
working out right. I can't really change this end.
This end, with the Kingston Card, has been running fine with a
similar 100BaseTX Full-duplex coniguration under Windows 95.
But under Linux I'm having real trouble trying to force a mode on it.
This is kernel v2.0.36 (RH5.2). Both de4x5 & tulip drivers.
I've tried a variety of kernel module options... e.g.
args='fdx autosense=100mb' on de4x5 driver, and
full_duplex=1 & options='100baseTX-FD' & options='MII 100BaseTX-FD'
etc. on the tulip driver
Apparently no effect (in particular the card has extra leds on top of
the usual to indicate 100 & FDX modes which gives me a clue as to
what is going on -- it just stays at 100 no FDX).
Another confusion is rather than a 'usual' media type, both drivers
detect an MII transceiver (huh!? me confused!) and then appear to
ignore any user supplied options I give.
*8-(
Help! What am I doing wrong?
!?!?!??!!!??!!?
Ta-ra,
Julie

Is it just the IP address or the name that changes? If it's just the
IP address, and the name stays the same, then configure Netscape with
the *name* of the proxy server, not the IP address.
If the name changes each time, well, how do you find out what to ping?
It may well be that you have a misconfigured DNS resolver ...

Date: Mon, 08 Feb 1999 16:58:49 GMT
I have been having a problem that appears to be growing. From time to time a
user will start getting failures on pop3 authentication stage to a linux (red
hat 5.0) server When this occurs the message
No such file or directory while reading line user=(user name) host=(ip
address)
starts showing up in the auth log file.
Some times changing the user's password appears to fix the problem. This is
not always the case. The problem customers are running outlook. Running a
manual pop3 session to the account works fine. It appears to either be an
outlook problem or a network connectivity problem. (or maybe both)
Has anytone else seen this?
Any ideas on how you fix it?

If you run them without being in an environment suited to them they can alter your

Subject: Modifying Telnet Port
Date: Mon, 08 Feb 1999 16:54:39 -0500
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
At school, I'm stuck developing on bad Windows boxes using Borland Turbo
C++ (the *worst* compiler ever made). Needless to say I really hate
this. I downloaded DJGPP, but I was less than impressed. I guess I
just like gcc under Unix too much. Anyhow, I decided I'd telnet home.
Well, the proxy blocks port 23 (not a bad idea on a Windows NT proxy
;-). So, I tried to read some news. Port 119 is blocked as well. So I
sent an email to the sysop requesting tha these ports be unblocked. I
expect that request to be denied, or more likely, ignored. I was think
of ways around this. I have access to the http and ftp ports. First, I
thought that I could run apache with a security hole, and crack into my
house. Kinda tedious. However, I was thinking that I could reconfigure
inetd to use port 80 as a telnet port. That way, I can telnet into my
house, and it will return data to port 80. Is this logic sound? How
can I do this? Should I? Is there a better way?

In general you e-mail the person who is responsible for the DNS.
You may have a different agreement with your ISP but what you are
basically asking is "what is the nature of my contract with my ISP?"
We can't answer that.

Hello,
I would like to setup a pair of servers in the following fashion,
i'm mostly interested in
using am-utils to acomplish this but i'm flexible.
I want to have each users home directory stored in
server:1/mnt/data/$USER/ and each users
public_html dir stored in server2:/mnt/data/$USER/, in a perfect world the
two directories would
transparently combined to become a single /home/$USER entry, am-utils looks
like it might be able to
acomplish this but I am currently having problems getting the auto-fs file
system type to work.
Any suggestions on other approaches? or perhaps a solution for am-utils?
Thanks Justin Burket

Subject: [Q] Networking tools ..Linux compared to NT
Date: Mon, 1 Feb 1999 20:39:06 -0000
Hi , Ive recently started learning about networks and OS`s in college and
have been given an assignment which asks for a comparison of networking
management tools in linux and NT , How well the two OS`s integrate with
other OS`s and what the level of resource sharing across the network is like
in each system. I`m not looking to have the assignment done for me but if
anyone could spare the time , some pointers just to steer me in the right
direction would be much appreciated .
Many thanks..
Paul Bowen.

I use Win3.11 along with Winsock 2.0 and MASQ out through my Linux
dialup PPP connection at home.
All the same instructions apply (from the MASQ How-To and any other
instructions you find) as for Win9x. The critical part (after Linux
is all set up) is that the Win3.11 network card setup must have the
gateway address set for the Linux gateway machine.
I set this up at Christmas for my kids ... it has worked under Linux
V2.0.36, my interim update to V2.1.132(?) and now with V2.2.1 (with
ipchains).
Good luck!

I've got the same problem, too.
The mailto:-links worked for me again when I opened the preferences dialog
and clicked just on OK.
It is stupid I have to do this everytime I start netscape but I don't
know how to change this.
FWH> I assume the Messenger component initializes something. I found it so
I agree with you. It is obvious since the links work well if you again confirm
the settings you made...
