simple answer...NO!. No ISP Does. Livingston is the only piece of
hardware I know of that will work with it and is no longer in use to
my knowlege (at least in my area)
If the technitions at said ISP know anything, they can force a 3com or
ascend box into multi-link ppp conection. then use the eql driver for
outgoing and multi-link for incomming. ( expect to pay$$$$ to get your
ISP to do it ) in therory, It should work

Do a custom install and include ppp and ip_masquerading. The ppp
with get you connected to an ISP with dynamic address allocation
and masquerading will allow your other PC's to connect through
the Linux box to the internet. My computers are close together
so I connect with the linux box only i.e not done from on of the
PC's on the subnet. I believe there is a way to have a remote PC
trigger a dial-in on the Linux box. Regardless you'll need the
ppp and masquerading and the usual TCP stuff.

Router routing table doesn't tell the router what computer to send a
reply packet in order that it head toward where it came from. (Needs
to say, "The place to send packets for 162,163,...,175 is linux-box.")

I assume you mean you can't ping 194.97.200.169 from linux-box. Based
on linux-box's routing table below it will decide to send a packet
with that address out eth0. 3rd line in the table. That's heading away
from the machine so it will never arrive.
>But: I can ping the router _through_ it. (so it basically works)
I assume you mean you can ping 194.97.200.161 from linux-box. Based
on linux-box's routing table below it will decide to send a packet
with that address out eth1. 2nd line in the table. That's taking it
straight to where the machine is so it will arrive.
>
>Shouldn�t it be possible to ping all the local interfaces even without

No. It depends very much on routing. And in BOTH directions. Sometimes
your routing to the destination will be fine but your ping will fail
because the destination's job is to send a reply to you at the return
address on your packet. If that address is missing or misrepresented
in its routing table, that's another chance to go wrong and you'll
never hear. As long as you don't get a return packet you can't tell
the difference between your request having arrived or not at the
destination.
A good tool is tcpdump. It puts a line on the screen for each packet
appearing on any interface you want to study. If you have access to
that info at the destination machine you can watch whether your
packets are at least getting there or not. If so, he needs a fix. If
not, fix yourself first then worry about him.

diald will do this - 'man diald'
ip masquerading can let the win98 machines see the net - recompile the
kernel (IP-Masquerade mini HOWTO)
squid would be good to set up. It is a proxy server, and you can
configure it to have a cache - speeds things up a great deal, I've got a
500mb cache for my lan. You point the proxies in the win98 browsers to
squid on the linux machine.
also set up a caching DNS (DNS-HOWTO)- for a complete solution : )

You could just open it up to everyone with one generic ipfwadm
startup command listed in the HOWTO. It will let in all. The
HOWTO describes how to restrict out users which can get complex
but your way in from the firewall so may be do not want to
restrict users severly. So yes you have to start it with ipfwadm
and have forwarding on, look at the HOWTO for a generic start
string to complete ipfwadm

Subject: BIG network problem!
Date: Thu, 25 Feb 1999 23:51:35 GMT
I wonder if anyone could help me with the following:
Win98 box connected directly (crossover 10BaseT) to Linux box (RedHat5.2,
2.2.0 kernel). I use IP masquerading to access the internet through the linux
box (33.6Kbps modem), which works fine (a bit slow). I've also got some Samba
shares going.
However, Samba, FTP, and even HTTP transfers from the Linux box to the Win98
box are DOG slow! Win98 to Linux transfers are lightning fast, so it would
appear to be a one-way problem.
There's an SMC Ultra in the Win98 box and a D-Link (Digital chipset using
tulip.o from 2.2) under RedHat. The reason I'm getting really frustrated is
that I can't even receive a smooth shoutcast mp3 stream from the linux box,
which puts the Linux -> Win98 transfer rate at UNDER 128Kbps. And there isn't
even anyone else on the network!!
If anyone has any ideas, I would LOVE to hear them!
cheers

Can't agree with that. Given that you're typing all the content in
anyway, it doesn't take anyone who knows what they're doing a great deal
longer to type in the right tags. Give me vi any day! It takes less time
to type <b> and </b> than to grab the mouse, select, click the big bold
B, click back to the place you were inserting text and find your place
on the keyboard again. Doesn't it?
Other advantages of a straight text editor are that you can easily edit
stuff in situ, as most web servers run on Unix - no need to ftp things
back and forth, and also, I'm assuming that things like Dreamweaver
aren't well suited to creating pages with inline scripting languages
like PHP. Sure, you can hand-edit the HTML, but in that case why not
just use your favourite text editor?
Horses for courses innit, and not really worth arguing about, but at
least no one has called themselves an HTML _programmer_ so far!

Socket: An abstract endpoint for communication
Port: An endpoint for communication in TCP or UDP in combination with IP
address.
Sockets were meant to work with any type of transport (TCP, UDP, DECnet,
IPX, others). Because IP is host-to-host, ports were added to
discriminate between connections. Check out the book IP Protocols and
Principles.

Not sure what you mean, since at least 0.0.0.0 is impossible ... it's
the default gateway address. Actually for a caching only server your
IP address is not of interest anyway, you just set it up such your
name servers' address is 127.0.0.1 or the localhost and that one
never changes.
