The MAC number will be that of the Linux box's eth0 interface. You will
appear to have only one machine connected to the ISP.
This is what happens...
W sends packet to L destined for yahoo, say.
L looks at packet, rewrites IP header (src address and src port) and
emits the packet out of eth0. This all happens at Layer 3. It's when the
packet needs to be sent to another device on the same segment that the
Layer 2 MAC stuff comes in.
L will ask "who has ISP's ip address". ISP will reply with its MAC
address. L will take the Layer 3 packet and stuff it into a Layer 2
packet whose src MAC address is L's eth0 and whose dst address is the
ISP' MAC address.
Thus, everything that leaves eth0 will have eth0's MAC address as src MAC
address.
Hope this helps,
Luca

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have RedHat 5.1 and I could get my PPP connection up and running. But
for some
reason my PPP connection is damn slow (700 bytes/sec at BEST) and stalls
every
now and then. I have a Zoom V.90 external FAX modem. Under Windows 95
the speed is very good.
I tried asyncmap 0, different mru and mtu values in /etc/ppp/options.
I used minicom and used ATI11 (for Zoom) and it reports the initial
connect
speed as 46,600 bps and the lights on the modem show that 56K is the
connect
speed. Yet my connection is terribly slow.
I am getting vexed. I suspect that some buffers might be getting full.
I hope that the Linux community has some help to offer.
Thanks,
Karunakar.

Subject: Re: Backing up an iMac to Linux via network
Date: Wed, 17 Feb 1999 17:19:18 -0700
I'm having great luck using Retrospect Express to do Mac backups to Unix
boxes over then net and then archiving them to tape using already
connected tape drives. You can easily automate backups of several Macs
without using Retrospect Clients, and it works really well for
powerbooks that are never around at predictable times. The scenario runs
as follows:
1) Get Retrospect Express for $40 or so, and get one for each Mac you
want to back up.
2) Set up an Internet backup to a sufficiently large (see below) disk on
a unix/Linux box. The backup runs via FTP, so that is the access level
you need.
As far as disk space, you should have enough to hold the initial backup
of the entire Mac disk, and then you need less space for the smaller
incremental backups. I don't know what happens in you run out of space,
but I would guess the people at Dantz have figured out a graceful way to
deal with it.
3) Once you've done the backup, there will be a series of files in a
directory named the same as your Storage set, "/pub/backups/Mac_A/" for
example, and the files will be called 0-data, 1-data, 2-data,.... and a
Readme.txt file.
4) Backup the entire directory to a tape.
5) Delete all the files except 0-data and Readme.txt from the Unix/Linux
box to get your disk space back. If you delete these two files,
Retrospect will complain.
6) Next time you do a backup, which can be automated or manual,
Retrospect will pick up on the next numbered data file, i.e. 16-data if
the last backup ended with 15-data, and proceed on its happy way. You
can then back up these new files to tape, again leaving the 0-data and
readme on the disk.
7) For restore, simply restore all the files from all the tape backup
sessions to the unix disk first, and then run Retrospect to restore the
Mac from these.
This should also work for PC's using full blown Retrospect and the
Windows clients, but I haven't tried it.
Finally, the only bug seems to be that Retrospect Express has a nasty
habit of crashing with Type 1, 3, or 10 error AFTER the backup is
complete, i.e. the data is fine. The type 10 error typically bring the
entire Mac down, and I have yet to find the source of these beyond the
fact that they seem to only happen when FTP access has been used to a
remote machine.
Any info on the errors is appreciated.

Date: Wed, 17 Feb 1999 19:50:49 -0600
OK, folks, it's been a fun time, and I've almost got mail working on our
Linux box. We can get mail and we can send mail. What we can't do is pop
our mail from another box. The lines in inetd.conf and services seem to
be set up correctly to run ipop3d when port 110 is hit.
The hitch is that when I run /usr/sbin/tcpdmatch to check on things, it
reports that there is no ipop3d in /usr/sbin. I THOUGHT I installed all
of Linux from the Red Hat 5.1 CD...
When I use Eudora and try to hit the box, it gives me the old "connection
refused, error 10061" message.
Otherwise, the box seems to be working well, it serves web pages, ftp,
telnet, etc without a hitch.
Is it possible that this release doesn't come with a pop server? Seems
odd, but I suppose it could be true. What's the name of the pop server,
how can I tell if it's present?
If I need to download a pop server, has anyone got suggestions about a good one?

As far as I know, the 2.1.x PPTP Masq patch should work on the 2.2.x
kernels. If anybody can conclusively say that it does not, *please* let me
know.
For more information, visit
http://www.wolfenet.com/~jhardin/ip_masq_pptp.html and read the HOWTO
available via links on that page.
I hope to have a 2.2 system running soon, and will make sure of this myself
once I grok the masq framework.

Yup. I can print to my Epson Stylus Color 400 non-PS printer using
PostScript drivers from my Mac. Setup can be a bit finicky, but not too
rough.
If you compile a 2.2.x kernel with HFS support, or if you add an HFS
driver to a 2.0.x kernel, you can provide support for MAC NATIVE floppy
and Zip drives (though not for the 400kB and 800kB floppies, since those
used a low-level format that PCs can't read). You can also give the Mac
access to FAT, ext2, or whatever disks, too, of course.
For internet connection issues generally (e.g., connecting to the net via
the Linux box and using a web browser, mail reader, or whatever on the
Mac), check out the many discussions on IP masquerading. Note that the
details of how to accomplish this have changed from 2.0.x to 2.2.x
kernels, so be sure to check the appropriate discussions. A quick search
on Deja News will turn up lots of posts on this topic. There's also an IP
masquerading HOWTO, I believe.

The crtscts and xonxoff are conflicting options, most modems can use

Actually I'm a little surprised it didn't work anyway but ... Pppd

The pppd option noipdefault should prevent it from doing this. Check

p.s. LILO does not contain the NTFS format. So I select OS2 for NT.

Subject: Slow and Stalled PPP
Date: Wed, 17 Feb 1999 21:32:57 -0500
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have RedHat 5.1. I configured the PPP connection and it all works
fine.
But the PPP connection is damn slow and it stalls every now and then.
The maximum speed I get is 700 bytes/sec. Under Windows 95 I get
far far better transfer rates.
I have Zoom V.90 external fax modem. I tried (on minicom) ATI11 (for
my modem) and it says that the connection speed was 46,600 and the modem
light shows that it has a 56 K connection. Yet the transfer rates are
horrible.
I tried asyncmap 0, different values for MRU and MTU in
/etc/ppp/options.
Nothing seems to work for me.
One interesting thing is even local CGI-BIN scripts take a long time
before
I see the page. Local html pages come fast but the scripts take long
time.
I conjecture that some buffers are getting filled up. I took a look
at
/var/log/messages. No clue.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Karunakar.

Subject: RH 5.2 to Netware 5?
Date: Thu, 18 Feb 1999 02:31:28 GMT
Hello,
I was wondering if someone could recommend a good HOWTO that I could
read to figure out how to network my RH 5.2 system to my Netware 5
server.
When I installed Linux, I did tell it to install support for Netware,
but I'm not really sure how to activate it. I have a Netware 5 server
setup that I enabled both the IP and IPX protocols, but I can't seem to
mount the volumes on the server.
I've tried using the ncpmount command, but I don't get anything in
return. Thus the reason I am looking for a HOWTO.
Thanks,
Tom

Subject: firewall/realaudio
Date: Thu, 18 Feb 1999 10:33:11 +0800
i've been to the realaudio firewall page but no help.
I have my pentium machine hiding behind a 486 masquerade box (192.168.1.1)
I'm trying to secure up both machines, but am starting with the gateway
machine.
I need to receive real audio thru the gateway, to my pentium (192.168.1.2)
Assuming i start with no firewall rules, and set default policies to deny,
what rules do i have to add?
>From my (little) knowledge i guess there has to be (a) forwarding rule(s).
In the past i have run a blanket masquerade rule, like
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.1.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0
I'd rather rules that only specifically allow real audio packets to my
internal pentium machine.
However, i don't know what in/out rules i need to allow the 486 to
receive/send packets for the internal network machine.
Any help (reply via email) would be much appreciated.
TIA

Subject: "Too much work at interrupt" message
Date: Wed, 17 Feb 1999 10:51:29 -0600
Im using kernel 2.2.0 which I recently installed. I have configured the
machine to act as a dialin ppp server giving access to our ethernet network,
using TCPIP and IPX.
I have the following message appearing in my log at pretty regular intervals
Feb 17 11:08:59 netsvr kernel: eth0: Too much work at interrupt, status 0x01
What does this mean, is it bad, how do I make it go away

Netscape Communicator 4.5 is finally working, after much trouble, except I have
to type in explicit IP addresses, like 12.34.56.78, can't use
www.someplace.org. But ping, ftp, lynx all take names like www.someplace.org,
just not NS. PPP in general works good.
What is wrong? How to fix? Diagnostic tests?
Linux 2.2.1, glibc 2.1, pppd 2.3.5, NS Comm. 4.5, ISP is Mindspring, they
have 3 DNS name servers, all listed in my resolv.conf.
(Previous problems are described in netscape.communicator.unix, but now I'm
unable to reach that group.)
