It probably complains that netstat does not support ip_masq_type, this means
your net-tools are old. Unfortunatelly the recent version 1.50 does not yet
support icmp and gre, you will have to wait for 1.51.

Thanks for help.
After I posted previous message I tried to connect over proxy server
and it was succesfull. So, now I can browse the web with my Netscape
via proxy server. FTP and other services are not working (since I
don't know proxy's)
Is it because I didn't setup DNS?

After 2.0.36, "ipfwadm" was retired in favor of "ipchains" and is no longer
supported. But we can't be sure that's your problem, since you didn't tell
us what kernel you're using.
So you could say THAT'S where you went wrong....

Subject: Minicom: Slow Behavior
Date: Sun, 14 Feb 1999 14:30:29 GMT
In my attempts to connect to my ISP via PPP, I am currently trying to use
minicom to see the appropriate send/receive entries. So far, I noticed it is
not "login:" but "Username:" ....
Minicom, however, is behaving strangely. It takes very long to complete the
modem's initialization string (it sort of pauses-goes-pauses-goes..., with
the "pauses" lasting 10-15 seconds). The behavior can be observed as soon as
minicom is executed and as the init string runs (or rather, strolls!); even
when I type, the delays hold up the screen output.
Surprisingly, I am still able to dial in, but the pauses are too long and I
am unable to input my username & password. Even scripting my user info does
not work; apparently, the slow behavior (or its underlying cause) cause the
ISP to return a " % " right after "Username:", with a final "Timed out"
message. My hardware seems to be appropriate (Pentium 133MHz, 32MB RAM, 33.6
non-Winmodem). The only hint from other users with the same issue is that
the minicom installation might not be 100% correct (a missing or misplaced
file is being looked up by minicom, causing the slow client interaction).

Try to sell linux/sendmail superiority another way.
Try to convince the decisions makers that moving
to exchange in one big step is not risk free
[quite impressive understatement :-) ].
On the long run it will be less risky to crete
linux/latest_sendmail email gateway which will
route incoming email to your domain to the
appropriate mail system and hide mailbox location
when email is send outside.
It will allow moving users from one system
to another one by one
[ e.g. top management first :-)]
You will buy user licenses for exchange
as needed in small increments.
In short:
You have two (or more) internal mail systems
(VAX+Exchange) which appear to the SMTP
speaking internet as one mail system.

93972432 -> 9w3972432
It is needed in PBX I use, otherwise external switch

Change

to
CONNECT '\c'
expect connect send nothing (it helps sometimes)
After that it is pppd problem, so read pppd man page
how to turn on pppd debugging.

What??? Who *cares* about M$? Their UNIX is waay too ancient to use it (read:

Subject: Cable Modem in a Home Network
Date: Sat, 13 Feb 1999 09:33:45 -0600
I am in the process of networking my linux box with my other pc running
win98. Currently I have a modem in the linux box that I use for a ppp
connection to my isp. I'm planning on setting this up so I can use the
ppp connection from the win98 machine. Eventually I am going to
subscribe to a cable modem service (should be available in June).
The cable modem service requires a 10baseT NIC using an rj45 connection,
as well as a static ip address. My home network NIC's are 10baseT
combo's, and I use the BNC connectors. The cable service will only
install to a windows pc, and they say explicitly they do not support
home lan's. So I will have to move this setup over to the linux box
myself.
My question is, will I be able to replace the dialup in linux with the
cable modem, and still maintain my home network setup? Any help much
appreciated.

Only the Netscape code is available, not all the parts they "borrowed". In
any case, you might want to check out www.mozilla.org. They've build it to
be a usuable browser again, but nowhere near the official Netscape browser
yet.

HI all,
I have two computers - compA and compB - in aan simple Ethernet network

On compA is running linux only
On compB is running WIN 98 only.
I think it must be possible to run on compB linux (i.e. making a connection

also linux).
So, can anyone give me which steps I have tot do for an successful

Ende vorigen Jahres habe ich mir die Distribution S.u.S.e. 5.2 und

Without having done this before - I would guess that you will have to
disable your http daemon on port 80 if you have one running.
Then edit your /etc/services file, and change the telnet entry from
port 23 to port 80

If ping is the only problem, then the ISP may not be routing ping -
you can thank the uglies and their SYN flooding attacks for that.
Your ppp interface and routing looked good. If ping is not the only
Internet access problem, then you might try the pppd option "asyncmap 0"
or, should that fail, "asyncmap a0000". Otherwise you'll likely need
