Does `knob cheese' mean the same where you are as it does in England ? I
somehow doubt the powers that be would like that one round here.
We had a lab of X-terminals named after body parts: nostril, spleen, gullet,
kidney, lung, tooth, spine, ... That worked quite well. The Netware machines

I think your troubles are not with one specific card, but trying to get

Dont'n use a proxy like squid, use TCP/IP masquerading instead.
(see Ipmasquerading HOW-TO). This works fine for me with ICQ.
You can still use Squid at the same time as you think the cache is
usefull.

Subject: How to get FTP working through our Linux Firewall?
Date: Wed, 24 Feb 1999 15:23:34 GMT
We have a linux firewall and are trying to gain access to an FTP site that is
hosted on a Win NT IIS machine behind our firewall. However, everytime we try
to access the site from outside the company (going through the firewall) the
ftp program (in this case WSFTP PRO) can't connect because the address that is
returned to the ftp client is 10.24.1.9 (or something like that). This, of
course, is an invalid internet address and only valid on our LAN. So, the
connection fails.
We have other applications/ports going through our firewall just fine, such
as our web server. Even the IIS web server (port 80) works, but this FTP
thing is not going through and we can't figure it out. We have looked at our
three (3) DNS systems, Firewall rinetd daemon, the permissions on the IIS
server for FTP access.
Any clues?

Hi,
I am using RedHat 5.1 with Minicom 1.81. After I start Minicom, the

After about 10-15 second, the cursor moves to the left of the screen

it seems the only solution indeed.
one solution could be :
- a master corba-daemon that keep all object/address/port mapping
instead of just object/port
- a collection of slave corba-daemon that not only advertise
object/port locally, but also inform the master.
when a slave service is launched, it contact it's local corba-daemon
which contact the master corba-daemon which reroute a new port
to the slave, and register this new port as a corba service on the master.
if a slave want to access another slave, slave corba-daemon do their classic job.
if a slave want to access a remote services, the IP masquerade make the slave
appears as the master
if a remote client want to access a slave service, it contact in fact the master
which re-route the data to the slave.
does anyone have devoloped such gatewaying system for corba...

I am hoping to set up a Linux box in my home to network my two Win98

OK, let�s give it a try!
I hope you build your ISDN Subsystem as a Module, so you should see if there
are any Modules loaded for ISDN with lsmod
Example:
hett@hsshb8:~ > su - root
Password:
hsshb8:~ # lsmod
Module Pages Used by
ip_masq_vdolive 1 0
ip_masq_raudio 1 0
ip_masq_quake 1 0
ip_masq_irc 1 0
ip_masq_ftp 1 0
ip_masq_cuseeme 1 0
eepro100 3 1
hp100 4 1
hisax 77 6
isdn 19 [hisax] 7
slhc 2 [isdn] 2
memstat 1 0
hsshb8:~ #
hisax is for the Siemens ISDN Chips, isdn is selfexplaning :-) and slhc is
for isdn two.
So the subsystem is loaded.
It should be ok at yours or you wouldn�t be able to use the ttyI0 device
:-).
If not, you�ve got the wrong settings for your Card! Try different Card�s
the EICON Diva ISA PnP and PCI is Type 11, AVM is 5 (A1 Fritz ISA) or 27
(PnP). If you�ve got one of those PnP Card�s try pnpdump (look in the
manpage first).
The MSN is not an issue! Just enter at &e123 and the AT Mode emulation is
happy! You need a valid MSN for dial-in only. (Ok, you won�t be able to dial
in one of our servers without a valid MSN because we�re using RawHDLC
framing with the MSN for authentication).
Hope it helps!

The Ethernet HOWTO states that they are supported. There are also
configuration programs available for these cards which work under
Linux. (As opposed to having to run a config program you get from the
manufacturer under DOS/Win.) See the HOWTO.
As far as getting a different one, take a look through the messages
here. Some folks have their favorites, and there are probably good
reasons for that. Our cable modem service (Comcast@Home) gave us the
card as part of the installation. (A SMC EtherEZ. Guess we were just
lucky.) It took a little configuring and fiddling to get it to work,
but it seems ok. All that means is that with a sample size of 1, I can
say a randomly selected card works fine for getting on to the 'net.

This is interesting you mention this. As a matter of fact, yes I do. I
initially started using Linux because I wanted to do exactly what you're
talking about. And then upgraded to a cable modem for faster
performance.
Where I work we have SGI's running IRIX, and we use several different
visualization packages on those machines. The particular one I use is
IDL. All of them display to an X window. To work remotely, get your X
server working on Linux, connect to the remote machine, set your DISPLAY
environment variable on the remote machine to point to your home
machine, and start the application on the remote machine. E.g., the
DISPLAY variable should be something like
my_machine.home.com:0
In regards to your question about a static vs. dynamic IP, it should not
matter. You just have to set up the DISPLAY variable after you connect
- you'll know what your temporary full hostname is. (The remote
machine may actually set the DISPLAY variable properly - and ssh will -
read on.) (Our cable modem gives us a static IP, so I hope I'm not
steering you wrong here.)
Unfortunately, that was the easy description. The difficult part is
that X gives you several options for access control, ranging from "the
key is hidden under the mat" to "the key is hidden in the concrete
bunker sitting below Cujo's dog house". Do a
man Xsecurity
to see the options.
If your remote machines run ssh, then get ssh running on your Linux
machine, and when you slogin to the remote machines, ssh will set up the
XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 access method and the DISPLAY environment variable
for you. In other words, it properly sets the .Xauthority file so that
all you have to do is make the connection and start the application.
Very nice. And quite secure.
The other way I've done it is the not-so-secure way, which is to use
xhost on my Linux machine to allow the remote machine's X client (the
application) to access my Linux machine's X server (so that I can see it
locally). If you can trust that no one using the remote machine will
maliciously try to get into your machine (because xhost just left the
door open for *anyone* on the remote machine, not just you), then xhost
is probably ok. Be careful. Someone can do a lot with X access.
The speed is definitely high enough with the cable modem to allow you to
do useful work. I used to do this over PPP at 28.8, and it still was
possible. While there is more initialization time involved with doing
it between my work machine and my home machine (as opposed to displaying
X windows from between machines on the same local network) the actual
display and refresh is very fast. It depends on the load on the ISP
network and your remote network, of course. (However, I just tried it
out between a machine we use in California and my home machine here in
Maryland. Oh yeah, it's fast. You'll like this.)
I had originally tried to use those X servers for Windows. They did
"work", but after I discovered Linux, I never looked back. Connecting
from a Unix-like machine to a Unix machine is the way to go. It's
faster, less klunky and I really like having the same "look and feel" in
both locations (work/home) when I'm trying to get things done. (And
besides, I just like using Unix/Linux a heck of a lot better anyway.)
Good luck.

I checked the W95 HOSTS file. I don't think the Linux etc/hosts file has
anything to do with it at this point. The name/ip for the Linux box has to be
right on W95, since the ping by name resolution works when I close the Dial-up

Secondary DNS IPs for getting to my ISP. Should/can I use autoassigned IPs
from the ISP? I'll check with their tech support.

I have the same modem and have been turning my mind to mush trying to get it
to work. It only works half the time in Win98. I plan on dumping it for an
external.

I've got exactly the same setup at home. My FreeBSD box is multihomed (on the local
10.0.0.* net, and a PPP connection through the modem). I was told by a co-worker
(who knows) that I can get the source code to a SOCKS-based proxy server that will
perform the IP proxying for me. The idea is that you dynamically "instrument" the
application you want to run on the client (I guess it's some kind of tunneling) and
the SOCKS server with know how to route the packages back to you.
Maybe you could search around for info on the SOCKS protocol.
