Subject: ppp problems in slackware3.5 running kernel 2.2.1 and pppd 2.3.5
Date: Sat, 13 Feb 1999 22:55:46 -0800
I recently upgraded to kernel 2.2.0(even more recently to 2.2.1) and
everything has been working except PPP.
I am using the same PPP scripts that I used when I was running kernel 2.0.x,
and in the older kernel I had no problems.
When I upgraded to 2.2.x it began to behave strangely. it dials, and
connects, but then drops the connection after about 30 seconds.
I read in the kernel documentation that there you need to upgrade to the
latest pppd, which I did. and I changed all my serial ports over from being
cuax to being ttySx
has anyone else had this problem? if so, any ideas on how to fix it?
thx much.
if ya need any more information just ask...

I imagine so, since I was able to use plip to access the internet via ppp
on my other machine. You just need proper routing (and IP Masquerade if
accessing the internet).

Where did you here this? I can dial fine into my machine at work and
access our LAN. That machine uses the same IP for eth0 and local
address for ppp0. What has to be unique is what you connect to.
Otherwise your machine would not know how to route anything.
Of course, Windows boxes are bassackwards and route based on interface IP
instead of network or gateway, so I imagine Windows machines would need a
unique IP for each interface. It's the Windows way to be different.
>Can each PC have a second hostname? After all, I suspect,
>hostnames must be unique to the interface just like IP numbers(?)
Each IP should have a unique name. Our factory has a list of all WAN IP's
in their /etc/hosts with generic names like DHCP1_ELGIN, and I copied that
to my Linux box, but our DHCP server on a different Netware box gave me a
hostename of UNKNOWN_1. That doesn't stop me from adding my own alias
Elgin1 to address the machine from our LAN or samba with local /etc/hosts
or \windows\hosts entries. It even connects to the internet fine which
has a different IP and hostname, but I haven't tried to use sendmail from
that box, because it may be confused about its identity. I simply have
pine set up on one account using my ISP username, domain and mail server
and another account set up for our company e-mail server.

Subject: Setting up a telnet listing port
Date: Sun, 14 Feb 1999 00:04:02 -0500
Problem:
When sending a remote print job via a SLIP connection
it can take up to 15-20 mins (for a large print job)
just to transmit the job (over modems - analog lines).
During that time, the print sits idle.
I want to have the printer start printing as soon as
it gets data. Since there is no preprocessing needed,
this would have no effect on the job or the printer.
Solution Suggested:
Establish a TCP connection and send the job that way
instead of using lpr. The other end already has
software setup just for this task, but right now it
sends the data to print servers (built in software).
that end would be no problem, since when I start the
tcp print daemon, I define the host and port on the
command line.
New Problem:
How do I setup a telnet listening port under linux? (2.0.30)
Basically, I want to send all data from the port to a file
(which in this case would be the printer).
I don't have a clue where to begin. Do I need to write
a program for this? or can I define a port in my /services
file and use inetd?
Thanks

If the network cards are set up properly, you should be able to ping each
other by IP. Otherwise something is wrong with you network card set up or
cabling. Do you have a hub or crossover cable?
In order to ping each other by name you would need the name for the Linux
IP in \windows\hosts and for the Windows IP in /etc/hosts.

Make sure that the router does not have any default route (except to the
internet with pppd). It should have -net routing. Make sure that the
other machines on each LAN point to the router as default gateway.

A quick question for you folks: I've been trying to set up some IP accounting

primary host IP counters operate fine, but not the others.
Didn't see any references to aliased IPs in the man pages, is there something

Well, I knew about asyncmap already. :) But now I do have a new symptom
which is indicative of an ACCM (Asyncronous Control Character Map)
problem.
An ACCM problem usually it has fcs errors associated with it or there is
a problem with IPCP negotiations that is apparent. The problem is often
caused by an ISP with a slightly broken PPP implementation that does
not use the default PPP ACCM (ffffffff) when none is requested.
Thanks for the new symptom to add to the collection.
P.S. - I still don't understand how you could use copies of your friend's
pppd configuration files, which worked for him, and not have them work
for you to make a good connection to his ISP. :-|

There is a nettool in X for that. Not sure if RH5.1 has linuxconf to do
that from the console. Do not set a default route if you plan on using
ppp. Instead use -net routing.

"file" first for "hosts", which I assume is right. And I have a good

Subject: Win95 + Linux Dual Installation Possible?
Date: Fri, 12 Feb 1999 23:24:06 GMT
Hi all,
I am currently using Win95 and want to install Linux too. Instead of
installing both Linux and W95 on the same HDD, I intend to get another HDD
and install Linux on one HDD (secondary master) and Win95 on the other
(primary master).
1) How should I go about doing this? Where should LILO be installed? Would it
be possible to get prompted as to which OS to boot? There is a messy option
of disenabling one of the HDD in CMOS which I would rather avoid.
2) I also intend to install APACHE Web server on Linux HDD. Would it be
possible to do a client-server setup, using just two HDDs', so that I can run
CGI scripts on the Web server and have the results displayed while running
Win 95? Is there any inexpensive way to do this?
Thanks for any suggestions and help.

Subject: 2.0.33 kernel bridge problems?
Date: 12 Feb 1999 15:47:19 PST
I was wondering if anyone else has experimented with the 802.3 bridge in
the 2.0.33 kernel. I'm using it on my firewall (hacked to packet filter
traffic in the bridge). When I set it up I ran into problems with more
3 ethernet adapters. In particular, only two ports would ever work, the
third one was dead. All three would work until I used brcfg to enable
the bridge, after that it was random which one would drop out.
Anyway, it was not a big deal and I revised the design to use only two
ports. I wanted internal, upstream, external; ended up with internal,
upstream and compromised security to enable a few inbound services.
It's
been up for about 8 months now, and makes an excellent (completely
transparent, no visible private net addresses) DSL firewall.
Does anyone know if this is a known bridge problem that has been
resolved?

Hmm... there are nicer and more powerful options you can explore by using
third-part boot manager software, but for LILO-only you would install LILO on
the Master Boot Record of the first hard drive (primary-master). During setup
for RedHat (and most other distributions I assume) the installation program
allows you to neatly set up what all operating systems you want to dual boot to.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question... but it sounds like you're
basically wanting the capacity to connect to active Linux programs within active
Windows programs. This can't be done! Dual-booting means that you're computer
has the capability of running one or more different operating systems, but you
have to choose one at a time... no force of nature or act of God is going to
allow one processor to run both Linux and Win95 simultaneously. If this is some
work you're wanting to get into, you might want to consider getting a cheap or
used second computer and hooking them up with network cable... to have a Windows
and Linux mini-network in your home.
