Subject: smbfs and NT dates not sync'd
Date: Sat, 20 Feb 1999 17:06:45 GMT
Hello,
I use smbfs to copy archives from Linux to the department NT server,
which is backed up nightly. This all works fine, except that NT gets
the date wrong - it ends up being 5 hours ahead of what it should be.
Since this is how far ahead GMT is from EST this time of year, my
guess is that the smbfs is using GMT instead of local time to set the
modification date on NT.
Is this the right guess? If so, is it a bug or a feature (ie, a
settable option)? Or, does the problem really lie with the NT server?
Thanks for any help,
Charles Wright

This looks like your FTP client telling the server what port to use
for the data connection. The data connection is opened by the server,
usually on its port 20, and going to a port in the user area
(1024:65535) on the client. The ip_masq_ftp module translates these
commands, so they point to ports on the firewall, i.e. it'd change the
above command to

Remco,
It could be hardware, it could be software. Lets start with hardware.
"i have network".
I'll assume that you mean that both the Win95 box and the linux box are
connected to a hub/switch. Is one of these devices plugged into one of
the end ports on the hub? If so, is the switch for "UPLINK" pushed in?
this could cross them up. The indicator lights on the device will tell
you if that's set correctly.
In case you aren't using a hub/switch, are you using a cross-over cable
to connect them? (UTP cat 5, for instance). Are you seeing a link light
on the ethernet adapters when you push the cable plug end into the NIC?
For software, are the two network adapters (NIC) configured on the same
subnet?
e.g. Win95 box has IP address 192.168.1.55 with a subnet of
255.255.255.0.
you would want to configure the linux box IP address as 192.168.1.xx,
say .56 for instance. If you have them in separate subnets, you would
have to configure a gateway or change your routing tables ...
type "dmesg" or "ifconfig" for info on the linux box networking.
good luck,
Paul

Quite true; it all depends and if you just need a proxy for, say,
two or free users at home for instance squid is probably overkill.
I used apache as a proxy at work since some had not access to the
great blue yonder out there. Setting it up as a proxy is childs
play but see above, it depends on your needs.

Date: Sat, 20 Feb 1999 12:04:02 -0600
I'm using a Com21 just fine with Linux (RH 5.1) and Win98. I also have a
Linux box doing IP Masquerading (having a couple of minor problems but it
works).
Are you using the Com21 for up stream AND down stream? My cable company
(Prime Cable of Chicago) only has down stream cabability at this point.
Under Linux, you must set your IP address of your NIC to the same IP as your
Win98. Seems like they only allow this IP to work. You then set your default
gateway to be the IP address of the cable modem. This should have been given
to you by the cable company. Set your DNS servers to be what they gave you
and you should be set. If you have your Win98 box and your Linux box on at
the same time using the same IP you'll get errors. Use one at a time or
setup IP Masquerading.
Good luck,
Fly

If that's all that is being logged, you aren't even getting to
the remove PPP daemon. Probably your chat script isn't doing enough.
Try logging in with a terminal emulator (like kermit) and see.
Also, I read something today in a ppp README file about some NT
Server's RAS needing the work "CLIENT" sent to them before they will
start talking LCP.

A lot of companys use bland algorithmic naming conventions. When machines
can change hands several times in their lifetime, it doesn't make sense to
let everyone have their own "vanity" names. This is especailly if your
bean counters track assets by name.

Subject: Wireless networking recomendations ?
Date: 22 Feb 1999 11:24:01 +1000
Hi all,
I would like to setup a small network at home with a Linux box
in the cupboard, and my laptop in my bedroom, but without running
any cabling. This leaves me with two choices that I am aware of...
Wireless (probably RF not Infrared), or those little thingies
you can plug into AC power, and turn that into a network.
Obviously, it need to run with Lunux (and Win 98 for the laptop)
, and I'm also
look for something high speed and low cost (and reliable). Any
suggestions ?
Thanks

Subject: Re: @Home Networking Setup - Please help
Date: Sun, 21 Feb 1999 21:40:01 GMT
I can only provide some thoughts based on my setup for @Home with the Red Hat
5.1 distribution.
First, I did not have to use DHCP with my @Home service, since our IP is
actually static. If you are forced to use DHCP, then the rest of what I'm
about to say probably won't help much. It might be a DHCP configuration issue.
But that's the gist of those shell script excerpts - it looks like someone was
recommending a way to get DHCP up and running during the init process.
Red Hat's using the Sys V init, so there is a file
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
and in there is a parameter and value in there which I have set as
BOOTPROTO=none
Which means that I don't use DHCP or anything else at boot when the network is
initialized. Of course, then you have to set all your network configuration
parameters yourself (IP, subnet mask, gateway, DNS and hostname). But you've
done that.
I believe I ran into a problem similar to yours, where I couldn't get beyond my
network card. It was a routing issue.
See what the routing table looks like:
/sbin/route -vnee
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface MSS Window irtt
24.4.130.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 4
eth0 1500 0 0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 1
lo 3584 0 0
0.0.0.0 24.4.130.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 12
eth0 1500 0 0
The first line here is the route to the subnet, the second line is the local
host, and the third line is the default route - everything that can't go
through one of the other routes goes through here. It just so happens that
this is also the gateway to the outside world.
I used the Red Hat netcfg tool to set these values; you can use the route
command itself. (Obviously the tool is doing that for me.) I think I was
trying to set a static route to the gateway as well, based on some information
in an old Linux book, but that is not necessary. (And it was messing up the
Red Hat netcfg tool as well, because I was having the types of problems you're
mentioning when I tried to add a static route to the gateway - the tool was not
expecting that. And the routing table was all messed up - that's how I knew
something wasn't right.)
So if you don't have a netcfg-like tool, I'd look at the man page for route,
and keep deleting and adding them until you get something that looks like what
I've got above.
Hope this helps.
- Dave

Hello,
I am trying to set up a Linux bridge. I have several PCs and several
UNIX machines on my internal network that I would like to isolate from
the external network. I have already weighed the firewall options, and
I have decided a bridge is the best solution.
My problem is this:
The bridge works great with PCs under Win98 (TCP/IP, NETBUI,
whatever), but I cannot get it to work with my UNIX machines. I have
tried under Digital UNIX 4.0d and Linux 2.0.36 (Slackware). In both
cases, I cannot connect to machines outside the bridge, but I can
connect to machines inside the bridge. On my PCs, I can connect to any
machine, inside or outside. Huh? Is there something I'm missing about
UNIX networking? Are UNIX hardware ethernet addresses negotiated in a
different way than PC hardware ethernet addresses?
Please help. I'm desperate.
Thanks.

This kind of facility is provided by:
http://www.readmail.com
You might not like revealing usernames and passwords to such a service,
though.
Obviously, you could implement some similar service on your own web
server, perhaps adding a secure link for better privacy. (I think
that browsers don't store secure pages on disk, would need to recheck
on that.)

Scott-
kill -HUP <inetd >pid
Sending the sighup signal causes inetd to re-read its configuration file so
the changes that you made will register. Obviously a reboot does the same
thing.

Winipcfg is probably easier! <grin>
