Greetings all,
I am new to device driver development on Linux. I have a couple of
conceptual questions which I hope some of you will be able to answer.
What exactly is a port? Is it a piece of hardware or is it some piece
of software? What does it do? How can you make a driver and a device
talk to the same port? Are all i/o ports the same? direct ansewrs as well
as referal to sources and urls is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I currently use WinProxy which works quite well. You can find it at
www.winproxy.com. It does cost 59.95 for the lite version (I think it was
less when I originally bought it) but it hasn't failed me yet. The lite
version allows up to 3 nodes to access the internet through 1 machine.
I have no experience with WinGate, but it seems to get a lot of
recommendations ... I might check it out ...

Subject: Need details for NetBeui use
Date: Wed, 10 Feb 1999 19:57:11 GMT
I found from a search at a mirror of the samba archives that it is possible
to use NetBEUI instead of TCP/IP with Samba. Great! I use NetBeui over my
internal network because it is faster than TCP/IP and non-routable (i.e.,
more secure, it definately won't get past my firewall). Perfect.
Now, one post that my search found said that Samba 1.9.something was hacked
to allow for NetBeui use instead of TCP/IP. (Another post suggested that the
new kernel's support of NetBeui would suffice.) But, I can find no details
anywhere on how to configure Samba to use NetBeui instead of TCP/IP. The
configuration file that i have, for samba 1.9.18p10-3 (came with Redhat
5.2), still seems to require TCP/IP, or at least does not indicate to me how
to set up for NetBeui only.
Can someone give me some details? Thanks.
Best wishes...

No, it's NOT a Windoze issue, much as I'd like to point the finger that
way. It's a Netscape issue. I found the cure:
In ~/.netscape/preferences.js, add the following directive at the end:
user_pref("linux.replace_dots", false);
(In OS/2, the file is prefs.js, and the line is
'user_pref("os2.replace_dots", false);'. There's probably an analogous
line for the poor Windoze users.)

Two options come to mind. Run IP Masquarade on the Linux box or run
SyGate on the Windows box. The Sygate will be a little bit easier to
set up the IP Masq will be more stable. Both options require running a
local network between the two machines.

**********************************
I had problems with ppp and tried many things. Believe me I can't afford
to loose
any more hair.
I got ppp-go working by running pppsetup with the default reset string.
I tried it again but added to the parameter string and THAT broke it
I found out that if you entered anything then the /etc/ppp/pppscript
script it generated was faulty
with default you got a line like
OK "atdt12345678"
if you added to the string you got
atdt12345678
I just put the
OK " "
back in and it was OK
Another problem was that the line got dropped because I already had a
default route set up to my ethernet card

If make xconfig doesn't allow experimental, try make menuconfig or make
config. The former is easy, the latter always works.

Subject: Anyone try a Diamond SupraSonic II ?
Date: Tue, 9 Feb 1999 19:04:56 -0500
Has anyone tried a Diamond SupraSonic II modem in their Linux box?
I am interested in whatever success or failure has been with these devices,
in regards to the _hardware_ functionallity.
There seems to be a bit of confusion in the posts on this topic, perusing
DejaNews. As I understand it:
1> These modems are designed and marketed with Win9x in mind.
2> Win9x (via drivers supplied either by Diamond or M$) employs the 'MP'
protocol to 'bond' two phone lines to create a virtual line with the
combined speed of the seperate real-modem/line ppp connections. MP is
specified by RFC 1990 (I should double check that number -- but it is an RFC
spec, and this number is the second RFC, which replaces an earlier one that
first delineated the protocal). MP means Multi-PPP, or something along the
same lines.
2b> For Linux, there is a standard driver for the same trick called EQL. EQL
is not really well none among Linux users (at least English posting ones).
EQL can bond and two serial lines -- ie a combo of SLIP, PPP, etc.
2c> EQL and MP both need cooperating hardware on the other end. (and all
contributing lines must connect to the _same_ hardware at the other end.)
EQL and MP are _not_ compatabile with each other -- both parties (you and
the ISP router) need to speak the same protocol.
2d> Therefore, an ISP that supports "Diamond Shotgun tech" (read MP) does
_not_ necessarily support EQL.
3> There _is_ a linux MP driver, in development. I don't have the reference
handy right now. Last I checked, it existed as a patch against an early
2.1.x development kernel. My impression is that work is under way to upgrade
this to apply against the stable 2.2.x kernels.
I am interested in the SupraSonic II modem for 2 reasons:
1 - I don't have any other high-speed connection options where I live.
2 - IRQ's, slots, and serial ports are scarce (read: maxed out) on my
system. The Diamond SupraSonic II is, essentially two modems on the same
card, using seperate COM (ttySx under Linux) ports and a shared IRQ. Thus my
system could accomodate it in replacement of my current internal modem.
3 - (yeay, yeah I said two) The 'voice-priority' feature sounds sweet.
So -- I'm just hoping someone else out there has tried this before I buy it.
Of COURSE using two-lines will not work (yet)! But has anyone been able to
dial at least one line out? Can you dial the second? Does (either/or) behave
w/ 'voice priority' by default?
Thanks for your help. Happy trails.

Subject: Windows login to corporate domain thru Linux server
Date: Thu, 28 Jan 1999 23:49:33 -0500
Here's one for the thinkers out there. I'll admit I'm stumped on this
one.
I'm trying to allow remote windows users to login to my local LAN vial a
DoD Linux box. The problem is that the domain information refuses to
pass thru the PPP link. Services such as Micro$loth Exchange, Mail, etc
are not seen, nor are the machines on the other side of the PPP link.
I can ping both ways across the PPP link, so routing is not the issue.
The Linux server at the remote site is dialing into an NT 4 SP4 server.
When the link is up, I can ping the remote workstations, the remote
linux box, telnet to the remote linux box, and thru it, ping both remote
and local machines, but none of the NT domain information is being
passed.
Anyone got a clue on how I can get this to work?
Thanks in advance.

You should really do some more searching before you post problems.
This has been answered several times very recently....and it is in

FAQ's, HOWTO's, and online books for Linux networking are available at
http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/ldp.html. Your question is still pretty general,
but I'd check out the faq's for your distribution first. Caldera OpenLinux's
networking is generally best set up with Lisa. Usually if you can get into X
Windows, netcfg is also a convenient tool. Internal IP address ranges and
their subnet masks are 10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255 (mask 255.0.0.0),
172.16.0.0-172.31.255.255 (255.255.0.0), and 192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255
(255.255.255.0). Good luck!

Netmeeting does work over it, I've read. I don't know about the new ICQ, but
IPMASQ has a loadable module for the regular ICQ. The zone officially needs
ports 47624, and 2300-2400, udp and tcp, generall in both directions as I
recall, but the 47624 may only have to be outbound. After that, some games
may require more ports; you'd have to consult with the company that
published your game. I don't know about mplayer, but if you find the
Masqapps site, http://dijon.nais.com/~nevo/masq/ it should help you more.
Good luck,

Hello,
I am trying to install "ckermit-6.0.192-7.i386.rpm" in my linux box. Can
anyone tell what is the directory of this package in glint? Or, it can
be found else where?
Thanks,
Chiyu

I am using ADSL with no real problems. There are two things you have to
ensure in order for your site to work properly:
1) First and foremost, you have to ensure that you will not be stuck
behind a firewall. There have been reports of some xDSL providers
blocking incoming traffic.
2) Assuming you are reachable from the outside, you must have some
Linux-compatible way of obtaining a static FQDN. For example, my telco
uses DHCP to assign the addresses and a secure "login" web page that calls
a CGI to update their DNS. Lucky for me, someone else came along and
wrote a perl script to feed the appropriate information to their https
server so I don't have to manually login.

Typically, the telco will provide you with a single DNS entry that points
to your firewall's IP address. You would have to get an outside DNS to
support any other domains you have registered. Of course, the people who
provide you with the domain names should be willing to do this for you.
At your end, you can configure Linux to use IP Aliasing to support
multiple FQDNs to one IP address so that Apache can provide a different
starting page depending on what site the client thought it was contacting.

You can install POP, SMTP and HTTP servers on one machine. Whether or not
it's too much load will depend on how busy your web pages get.
>-Are any issues with network config and DSL that I should be aware of?
There are several competing DHCP clients under development. None of them
are quite finished, and you may need to do some hand-holding for a while.
The other big issue is the fact that there is no industry standard yet for
connecting a DHCP server to a DNS server, so every telco has a different
way of doing it (assuming they bother). No matter who you use for a DNS,
you will have to find out how they want their DNS updated and write the
appropriate "i am here" script.

Subject: Linux and MS Proxy Server....

Is there a way that I can set up my Linux box to use a MS Proxy server for
internet access? I want to use Linux here at work, but I must have net
access, and we're running through a proxy. I have looked through all of the
networking-related HOWTO's and FAQ's, but I haven't found anything. Thanks
in advance for your help..

Subject: Converting Shell Account to PPP Connection Problem
Date: Wed, 10 Feb 1999 00:35:07 GMT
I am trying to set up RH5.2 to allow Win98 users to login and establish
a PPP connection. At present they can successfully login to their shell
account, but when they attempt to run the PPP script they see garbage
(it starts with ~) on their end, and then get disconnected.
I assume the garbage they are seeing is the PPP authentication, correct?
How do I troubleshoot this to figure out what is wrong? The PPP script
is executable by users, I aliased it in bashrc, and the contents of
/etc/ppp/ppplogin:
===============
#!/bin/sh
#ppplogin - script to fire up pppd on request
mesg n
stty -echo
exec pppd proxyarp
===============
When the Win98 user logs in and types ppp, what is suppose to happen?
Are they supposed to be sending something back to the linux server to
establish the ppp connection?
Is this a Win98 problem and not a linux problem???
HELP!
Dan
