Subject: Win98 Redhat Linux and a Cable Modem
Date: Sun, 14 Feb 1999 18:53:40 -0600
Hi,
I have a Win98 PC which we'll call computer X, and a Redhat Linux PC
which we'll call computer Y, both are connected to an Intel 5 port hub which
connects to a SURFboard cable via a crossover port on the hub.
If I set up both computers with the same IP address, domain name, and domain
name search numbers I can connect to the internet without a problem. my
cable service provider only gives me 1 IP address.
What I would greatly appreciate help with is there a way to allow computer X
and computer Y to connect to the internet at the same time, over the same
cable modem, and be able to share files and services with each other ( i.e.
computer Y being a file server for computer X)
If that's not possible, what address ( IP, dns,etc..) can I use for
computer Y that would allow me to connect computer X to allow file sharing
and make it a server for my local network without using somebody else's
existing IP address info.
I would greatly appreciate any help anyone could give me.
-Thank You in advance
-Marc

First of all, where does one post Netscape for Linux questions?
Second, when I try to search for messages under edit, netscape gives me
an nttp error message.
I don't completely understand this as Netscape will download messages
and sort them.

Yes, it's bad form to follow-up on your own posting. But here's
everything I could scratch up on the problem. Doing a TCPDUMP on the
external Net, this is what a "dir" looks like:
[domain names trimmed off with sed for space. "members" is the
server, "c49404-a" is the client system]
38:33.466943 c49404.61775 > members.ftp: P 31:56(25) ack 288 win 16384

65024
38:37.492038 c49404-a.61775 > members.ftp: . ack 395 win 16360
...and this is it. The client is stuck displaying:
200 PORT command successful
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls
Oddly enough...sometimes, rarely (5%), this works. 'Can't explain it.
I've tried setting the connection to passive, thus:
ftp> quote pasv
227 Entering Passive Mode (24,0,0,28,177,99)
ftp> dir
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.
...hang...
And it consistantly doesn't work. I've used both MS clients and UNIX
clients (ncftp, AIX's ftp) with identical results.
# ipchains -L

According to "lsmod" the ip_masq_ftp module is there, it's being

i'm assuming that your ifcfg-lo file has the line

why not try

And drivers for a similar device (the Scientific Atlanta Data

Subject: Win98 - linux TCP/IP connectivity
Date: Sun, 14 Feb 1999 00:52:41 -0500
Hi all, I have been lurking around the c.o.l newsgroups for awhile and
haven't seen a problem like this one asked.
I have two computers we'll call them COMP-A and COMP-B for talk sake.
COMP-A is running Linux Only.
COMP-B is a tri-boot Win98-WinNT 4.0-Linux (Don't ask)
Anyway when COMP-B is booted to Linux or WinNT I have no networking problems
at all; however Win98 is unable to send or receive ping packets to/from
COMP-A
This tells me the hardware is working and seated in the slot correctly.
I think I have it narrowed down to Win98's routing table. Here it is..
Active Routes:
Network Address Netmask Gateway Address Interface
Metric
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.254
192.168.1.2 1
127.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 127.0.0.1
127.0.0.1 1
192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.2
192.168.1.2 1
192.168.1.2 255.255.255.255 127.0.0.1
127.0.0.1 1
192.168.1.255 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.2
192.168.1.2 1
224.0.0.0 224.0.0.0 192.168.1.2
192.168.1.2 1
255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.2 0.0.0.0
1
(I'm terribly sorry if the format gets lost)
According to BillyWare's help files everything seems ok until the last line
where the interface is 0.0.0.0 The help file says that is the way Win98
sends packets to the network.
If thats the case then it's wrong it should be 192.168.1.2 but the
question is how do I change it? if I try to delete it using:
route delete 255.255.255.255
it says : bad destination address 255.255.255.255
if I try to add it again using:
route add 255.255.255.255 mask 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.2 metric 1
it says: bad destination address 255.255.255.255
Win 98 will ping loopback (127.0.0.1) and its IP (192.168.1.2)
so TCP/IP seems to be installed correctly
By the way .. On Win NT here is the last line
255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.2
so NT is correct. (and it works).
Here is what I've done so far: (SEVERAL TIMES)
uninstalled all networking, pulled the ethernet card, rebooted
reinstalled the ethernet card, reinstalled all networking, rebooted
If anyone has any suggestions on other things to try or need more info
please ask, I've tried to include as much info as I can. I am new to
networking so if I've overlooked something please let me know
Thanks,
Mark

Hi,
I'm trying to use fetchmail and procmail to download my mail from my
ISP and sort mail that came from mailing lists into the appropriate
folder. I managed to do the download thing, but all mail ends up in
my main mail box (/var/spool/mail/juergen).
My .fetchmailrc looks like this:
>-------SNIP-------<
poll mail.paconline.net:
protocol POP3
user juergen with with pass mypassword
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d juergen"
set daemon 300
>-------SNIP-------<
and my .procmailrc looks like that:
>-------SNIP-------<
:0:
* ^To:*ppp
/usr/home/juergen/mail/Linux-PPP
:0:
* ^To:*kde*
/usr/home/juergen/mail/KDE
>-------SNIP-------<
But even if the 'To' lines contain 'ppp' or 'kde', the mails
aren't moved to the appropriate folders. The mail folders exist -
at the moment, I'm copying my mail there manually.
Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Subject: NFS-Root With a 3c905B
I am having problems setting up a diskless computer to boot off of
my network. I have compiled a kernel including the driver for my 3c905B
and including nfs-root and bootp support. I set up a bootp server and a
root filesystem is being exported via nfs. The major problem seems to
be that the 3c905B driver won't initialise. Then the kernel isn't able
to use bootp to find out the appropriate addresses.
When I boot using my disk the kernel gives me the message:
3c59x.c:v0.99H 11/17/98 Donald Becker
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/vortex.html
IP-Config: No network devices available.
When I boot using the hard disk as the root filesystem the 3c905B driver
acts a little different by saying:
3c59x.c:v0.99H 11/17/98 Donald Becker
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/vortex.html
eth0: 3Com 3c905B Cyclone 100baseTx at 0xd800, 00:10:5a:c6:8d:a8, IRQ
11
8k byte-wide RAM 5:3 Rx:Tx split, 10baseT interface.
Enabling bus-master transmits and whole-frame receives.
eth0: Overriding PCI latency timer (CFLT) setting of 0, new value is 32.
It seems to me that the kernel on the boot disk won't set up my card as
eth0 for some reason. It just loads the driver then trys to access the
network but it can't find a device because it hasn't setup eth0 with the
appropriate hardware address and such.
Any help would be much appreciated. I'm pretty confident that I have
gotten all of the settings right but it just doesn't seem to want to
work.

Subject: Re: linux & VPN
Date: Mon, 15 Feb 1999 01:46:04 GMT
There's a VPN mini-HOWTO that createsa VPN. It does so by using ssh
(the secure shell) and pppd.
ssh can run remote commands while on-the-fly encrypting/decrypting the
traffic between your computer and the remote one. The VPN involves
picking pppd as the remote command to run. Then running a local pppd
against it-- the normal way to get a point-to-point interface between
2 computers ("points"). The entire subsequent traffic over this
interface therefore runs through the ssh encryption/decryption
process, conforming this scheme to the definition of a VPN. The
downside is it does multiple tunneling-- packets inside packets inside
packets-- which imposes a performance cost.

Greetings all,
I've got Diald working on an old 486-33 system but only when the system
is booted as a zImage. The module version just will not work dispite
being compiled with the same set of parameters as the zImage version.
The kernel version is 2.0.32 and is a RedHat installation. Can someone
shed some light on this problem.
One other thing...
When I have Diald running (from a zImage kernel) and after using the
gateway at least twice, the modem will dial out every 15 minutes or so
after I finish my business on the web. After a while, the computer will
not respond to requests and becomes sluggish. When I issue the command
"ps x", I notice at least one PID that reads:
logger -p local2.info -t connect Initializing Modem
Clearly, I've got a configuration problem but I'm not experienced enough
to see it. can someone help me with this one.

True, but not quite. :-) Check www.samba.org. The latest versions
of Samba actually are doing the whole PDC shtik but this is still
a "cutting edge" development. Definitely this would be easier if
not necessity to reverse-engineer the whole protocol - bugs, warts and
all. M$ is not forthcoming with documentation.
There is a mailing list samba-ntdom devoted to the issue (it
is gatewayed to news). It is likely a good idea to be on this
list if you plan to play with that code.

Date: Mon, 15 Feb 1999 02:33:49 GMT
I've compiled and installed a 2.2.1 kernel on my system and am having
trouble with my network card.
I have this card working with kernels 2.0.32 and 2.0.36 but 2.2.1 seems to
be just almost-working.
The symptoms:
1) the kernel detects the card
2) loads the correct module (tulip.o) as eth0 (at least this used to be
correct)
3) ifconfig sees the card and seems to set it up OK
4) route sees the settings and seems to be OK.
5) no packets are transmitted through eth0
Could I have set up the kernel wrong to cause this?
Is the tulip.o driver broken?
Is there a patch?
Is it just me (i.e. do other people have this card working with the 2.2.1
kernel)?
any thoughts on this problem would be appreciated.
Everything else seems to work fine so far, but I am limited without a

Subject: PCI 10/100 Ether board recommendations?
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Nathan Mates)
Date: Mon, 15 Feb 1999 02:46:30 GMT
I've got a setup using mostly ISA NE2000 boards at home, but would
like to upgrade to 10/100 PCI boards sometime soon. I've looked in the
list of chipsets listed under 'make config', but that didn't easily
map to a list of cards, and the Ethernet-HOWTO didn't seem to list any
PCI 10/100 boards.
So, can someone recommend (or point out a list already existing) of
make & model for cards that fit some general guidelines:
1) PCI 10/100 Ethernet board, preferably under about $30. Some cards
seem to cost more than a decent 4-speaker setup, which is excessive in
my opinion.
2) Able to configure (msdos-floppy software is ok; windows not) for

Please forgive the meanderings of a relative novice (who's stuck with a v.90
for now) ... DSL is interesting, but I wonder how many security holes we
open ourselves to by using such a setup? A fixed IP address certainly makes
it easier for snoops, as does a full-time connection; and while I'm sure
you're capable of safeguarding your system, network security is beyond the
ability of the average user to handle. It'll be interesting to see how this
pans out, if/when DSL becomes widespread.

I just reinstalled RH5.2 (k. 2.0.35).
During boot. Right after the (new) ethernet card is detected I get this
"SIOCADDRT: Invalid Argument" error.
And then everything stops.
What to do? I guess I have to reinstall as the system/boot disk produced the
same error.. But what can I do in order to prevent the same thing from
happening again??
Thanx a mill!

Looking at options for building a VPN. With MS I can use NT, Proxy
Server and PPTP. What options do I have if I go the Linux route.
TIA
