Make sure you install the 2.2 update RPM's prior to building and installing
the 2.2.1 kernel. ftp.redhat.com has them collected in a 2.2update
directory.

I have a Netgear DS108 Dual Speed 8-port Hub here at home, with mixed
10baseT and 100TX hosts attached. It works great. Separate lights for 10
and 100 % utilization. I saw it listed today via www.pricewatch.com for
$156 at buycomp.com. Its only 1 1/4" x 4" x 9 1/4".
If you have more than 16 desktops, you might consider first using a
10/100 switched hub (or switch), and segmenting the 100TX hosts on a
Fast Ethernet Hub. But your original diagram only showed 3 client
machines and 1 firewall. With only 4 machines, 10baseT half duplex
should be fine.
One way to have better throughput on your network is to use a 10/100
switch instead of a hub, and run Full Duplex.

Subject: Route Question
Date: Sun, 21 Feb 1999 17:55:09 -0500
I have a small lan set up, using the class C IP network numbering
sequence 192.168.10.x, connected to the Internet via a cable modem
attached to eth1, using IP masquerading. The IP for eth0 is
192.168.10.1, and the IP for eth1 is assigned dynamically by
my ISP (Mediaone), as 24.128.24.128. The gateway is 24.128.24.1.
Recently, I ran route, and got the following results:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
localnet * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 6 eth0
192.168.1.0 dvo.ne.mediaone 255.255.255.0 UG 1 0 0 eth1
192.168.0.0 goldovitz.ne.me 255.255.255.0 UG 2 0 0 eth1
24.128.24.0 * 255.255.252.0 U 0 0 11 eth1
loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 3 lo
default ndrtr01-ndswt01 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 28 eth1
None of these destination addresses are in my network. I can ping 192.168.1.1,
but not 192.168.0.1. The dvo.ne.mediaone.net address has an assigned IP of
24.128.26.240, while the goldovitz address is 24.128.24.92.
Neither of these addresses are in my route.conf file. Where do the entries
reported in the "Kernel IP routing table" come from, and what can I do to
change them (assuming I need to change at least the two Class C addresses)?
I've tried route del to delete them, but when I reboot, they come back. I've
tried route add to add mine, but when I reboot, they're gone.
Thanks.

Subject: Can't find my NIC
Date: Tue, 23 Feb 1999 06:20:31 GMT
I am new to Linux and figured out how to get most of the more common things
working, like SMP and the Xserver, but I'm not doing very well with getting
Linux to recognize my NIC or the on mobo adapter.
I am using Debian Linux Hamm with the 2.0.34 kernel in an Intergraph box that
has an AMD PCNet-PCI Ethernet controller (AM79C970) built into the mobo. It
has provisions for AUI and 10Base-T and I would like to use the 10Base-T. This
is supposed to be compatible with the Lance AM7990 Ethernet controller, so
that is what I compiled into the kernel. No go.
So I got an SMC Elite 16C Ultra ISA card which can do 10Base-T. I then
configured in both the Ultra support and the Lance support into the next
kernel. No good either. Linux still hasn't recognized a NIC of any sort.
Next I edited my lilo.conf and tried to get Linux to see the Ultra NIC by
using the line ether=10,0x300,eth0 which I placed after the "append" command
for the line I had to add so Linux saw the 128 megs of RAM. Again, no go.
Linux still sees the RAM though.
Every time I do this, the card I am compiling for is hooked up to the hub and
energised, well, at least the little green lights are on showing everything is
at least plugged in.
Any ideas on where I'm messing up? Eventually, I would like to get my Win 95
box to share files with my Linux box, among other things. My e-mail IS correct
if you would rather not post here and if you want more info, just ask, as I
said earlier, I'm new at this. Thank you for your time.

If it locks up for a bit BEFORE the login prompt, there's a good chance
the remote host is doing a reverse DNS lookup on you to see who you
really are. If it kicks you out after, it probably did not like the
answer it got (or didn't get).
Does your own system have a reverse (PTR) DNS record?
Does the system you are connecting to require authentication of the host?

You need to either:
(1) Set your ftp client to work in "passive" mode, or
(2) Configure IP Chains to allow active ftp connections.
I still use the old ipfwadm stuff and a 2.0.x kernel, so I don't know
the proper way to configure your newer kernel to do this.

Same NFS/mount issues as always. FYI the 2.2.1 kernel is much improved for
network in general. 2.0.36 is workable, anything earlier is less
desirable.
With the netapp (even the old intel's) you'll want to check out the mount
params to see which combo gives the best r/w performance. Might want to
start with: async, noatime, rsize=8192, wsize-8192, hard, nolock.
Also the classic TCP vs UDP performance tradeoffs (UDP is faster).
mount(8) and mountd(8) are invaluable.

Brian,
Since the linux kernel can support up to 4 ethernet cards, why not set
up a DMZ for your ftp and www servers? 3 cards {1 outside, 1 no-man's
land, 1 inside}. Only requirement is you then need a hub to support
multiple hosts on the DMZ.
Of course, I haven't attempted to set one of these up yet ...
Internet ------ eth0 ---FW---- eth1 ----- internal network (e.g.
192.168.1.nn)
|
|
eth2
DMZ
|
ftp --------- www
(e.g. 192.168.2.nn)
I'm looking forward to setting one of these up ...

Hi
I working on that too. Not too easy, isn't it ?
What i can suggest is : pppd for the modem, diald for the connexion on demand,
ipchains for firewall and forwarding.
Try these links to configure linux :
** pppd :
http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver/linux.ppp.only.html
and the HOWTO
** diald

http://www.cyberset.com/osterday/linux/diald.htm
** ipchains
http://www.rustcorp.com/linux/ipchains/HOWTO.html
To configure Windows, just say your linux box is your gateway, your DNS servers
are your ISP DNS ones, and all is ok.
I always have some problems but it works...

Wrong option
FORWARD_IPV4=no disables frowarding betwreen networks.
NETWORKING=yes
FORWARD_IPV4=no
HOSTNAME=nyhost.my.do.main
GATEWAYDEV=
GATEWAY=
The last two lines should be undefined, otherwise a bogus default route
will be added. Redhat setup tends to leave the option like:
GATEWAYDEV=eth0
GATEWAY=0.0.0.0
And this will give the reported error.
