Check your routing table on the firewall? You need to have a valid routing
table in addition to firewall rules.
Are the machines on the local network set up to route packets to the
firewall? In other words, do they have a default route set to send their
leftover packets to the firewall?
I they are Windows PC's then are they set to use the firewall as a gateway?

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Has anyone set up a linux box to behave as a print server to as/400. I
have Redhat 5.1 installed and am communicating over Token ring to an
AS/400.
I get a telnet connection from the AS/400(It has some tcpip capability)
to the linux box but rejects telnet to port 515 and and lpr requests
from the AS/400.
Any ideas?

Hang on... Exchange does a perfectly good job of "standard SMTP over the
internet" - we have used it as our mail server for several years and never had
any problems communicating with anyone. There is no doubt that Exchange has
some bugs - though not ass severe as many here will claim. It is also
expensive and heavy on hardware if you are only going to use it as a mail
server. The decision depends on the functionality they want out of the
finished system - Exchange will give you groupware in a way which sendmail
cannot - this may or may not be appropriate to your college's requirements...

Or go the whole hog and use NSAPS.
The last place I worked used Norse Gods/Goddesses. Users generally
assumed they were obscure DECNet terms.
Here we use trees (boring). I've managed to introduce reptiles and such
like, mainly due to misunderstanding on my part when involved in an X500
project a while back. Nobody ever gets axolotl right, which has set me
to thinking about using mesoamerican deities or Mexican place names. That
should keep the systems nice and lightly loaded.

Assuming that you want to communicate with the outside world, you will have to
make sure that your local configuration corresponds with what your ISP is
expecting. The biggest potential pitfall is your ip address - sendmail will
only receive incoming mail if you have a static ip address and it is correctly
configured into the MX records of your ISP's DNS server. A lot of ISPs
dynamically allocate ip addresses at dial-up time and this really screws up
sendmail without special action... Check with your ISP if it is not clearly
documented whether you have a static or dynamic ip address.

Sorry to barge in like this.. but this flame war between
you guys is really immature.
By the way, MS did make a version of IE4 for Unix.
I've seen and worked with the Solaris version and I'm
quite happy to say that I like it. I generally prefer
IE over NS because I think its a better browser.
And as for the other comment about handwriting code,
I also create web sites and for the most part, most
of my code is generated by my own two hands.
I use Allaire's Homesite 4, which is a great tool
for HTML and scripting. I hate Frontpage becuase of
all the garbage it generates.

Yes, it's a DNS issue.
OPTION 1) Run named on one of the linux boxes and have the other two
machines use it to resolve names.
OPTION 2) Put a hosts file on all of the machines that lists all three
machines:
on linux: /etc/hosts
on nt: c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
192.168.1.1 linuxbox1.linux.bogus linuxbox1
192.168.1.2 linuxbox2.linux.bogus linuxbox2
192.168.1.3 ntbox1.linux.bogus ntbox1
You have to tell the linux boxes to use the hosts file. This is done in
the /etc/resolv.conf:
order hosts
search linux.bogus
And I don't know how you tell NT to use the hosts file. I think it will
look in it automatically.
Hope this helps,
Luca

Hmmm. That would make sense - but there are other users already pre-setup on

Nope - they're installed. I've checked out the inetd config files (sorry can't

they all contain commands for running ftp and telnet. I'll check this again to
make sure (wont hurt).

Subject: transparent HTTP proxy
Date: Wed, 17 Feb 1999 14:52:37 +0100
Hi folks!
I use a linux box as a firewall. On this box, I run IP-masquerading. It
works great, I had no problems so far.
Recently I configured this box with IP-transparent-proxy option enabled.
Then I used ipfwadm to
redirect all HTTP requests from the protected network to local TCP port
81. This is done entirely by
kernel with the IP-transparent-proxy code compiled in.
Then I used a small program called tproxy (
ftp://ftp.nlc.net.au/pub/linux/www/ ) to redirect already
redirected requests to my squid-cache on another machine.
It works. The clients in the protected network are NOT configured to use
squid, but they do it anyway.
I used squid 1.22 when I set up the whole system. I then finally
upgraded it to version 2.1-PATCH2 one week
ago.
Now I have problems. Users often get error messages saying "invalid url
/something, should be http://something...", originating from squid. In
squid's log file, I found many records saying
"GET /something" instead of "GET http://someserver/something".
Yesterday there were approx. 1000 such records out of 50000 requests. 1
out of 50.
I checked an old access.log file from squid 1.22. I found only 8 such
records out of 25000. 1 out of 3125.
I think the problem is in tproxy, but squid has something to do with it
too. Did anyone have the same
problem? Or, if I rephrase the question - is there another "transparent
HTTP proxy" available?
Have a nice day!
Matjaz

You can do that with ipfwadm... just figure out what ALL of the ip
addresses in *.at are and do accounting for them! Your accounting rules
will be HUGE, but you'll get what you want.

With PPP running, Netscape 4.5 complains "unable to locate the server".
This is the same message as when ppp is off. Somehow NS can't hook up to
the internet. PPP is good, since ping, ftp, lynx work.
Any idea what's wrong? Tests to try to find the problem?

have a look to MIT.edu way of naming machines, they are pretty original.
ten-thousand-dollars-bill.mit.edu is an exemple.
Also, I use some pasta cooking recipies for some of the machines, and
cigars brands for an other one.

Subject: Linux im Hetrogenen System / Samba installation
Date: Wed, 17 Feb 1999 14:48:30 +0100
Hallo, zusammen.
Wir haben ein kleines Problem.
In unser Netzwerk haben wir jetzt ein Linux-Ger�t (SUSE6.0) integriert.
Wir haben ein gemischtes Novell / NT System.
Der 2te Novell Server f�ht au�erdem ein Routing von 100MB auf 10MB (BNC)
durch.
Die Linux Maschine h�ngt am 10MB Ast.
Der Ping von einer 95/98 oder NT Maschine die auf dem 100er Ast h�ngen
erreichen die Linux
maschine und umgekehrt. FTP Programme laufen auch.
Nur mit dem Samba klappt es nicht.
Ich kann von Rechnern die auf dem 10MB Ast h�ngen auf die Samba dienste
zugreifen.
Wo ist das Problem das es nicht von den maschinen geht die auf dem 100MB Ast
h�ngen.
Danke f�r Hilfe
