Subject: IP Masquerade Problem
Date: Fri, 26 Feb 1999 18:49:20 -0600
I currently have an OS/2 Warp 4 with Injoy providing masquerading. Its a
simple setup, one gateway machine and 3 other clients (OS/2, LINUX and
WIN95). All three have proper gateway and DNS entries and work fine with
Injoy. I have been setting up a Linux (RH 5.1) masquerading machine as a
gateway. I gave it the same IP and mask as the original Injoy machine
(only one of these are up at a time). I worked out the rules needed and
IP forwarding enabled as in the documentation.
I downed the Injoy machine and brought up the Linux machine. The other
Linux machine sees the internet just fine. Its the OS/2 and WIN95
clients that fail. I know its the masquerading working with the one
Linux box because I can kill it by flushing the rules.
So, any clue why the non-unix OSs are puking on this? I am not sure if
this helps, but the Win95 machine when pinging an outside site
occasionally returns with a IP address, so it is making it to the DNS.
Does a unix machine have more relaxed tcp/ip stack that will wait
longer?
TIA

HI,
now it's working.
VERY COOL!!
Now I said the client to use the gateway-Linux-Server. It works!!
So the instructions I gave you are CORRECT.
Have fun!

Sendmail is installed by default, and while it is complex that really just
means it is extremely flexible.
I find it just works if you leave it alone.
Perhaps what you are really looking for is the way to pop mail off the
server onto your client machines. For this you should install imap (which
does both imap and pop) or qpopper.
Redhat comes with imap and it just works after the rpm install.

Use iptraf with a filter to pass only that machines ip address, (run this on

Date: Fri, 26 Feb 1999 21:25:18 -0600
I've recently moved to a new Linux box (Dell XPS 400, boots into RH 5.2,
Win98 and WinNT Server) and I'm having a problem with the serial ports.
One port is off the ATX case (9 pin 16550a) and the other is an ISA
Card, 16C650, high-speed serial portt (25 pin) from Byterunner. I hook
up my ISDN TA (Adtran Express XRT) to the 16C650 card.
The 16C650 card works fine in Win95 and WinNT Server, throughput is in
the 13-15Kbps range. However, in Linux, it pretty much stinks. I get
dropped packets constantly and stalled transmissions. Throughput is
only in the 100bps to 2Kbps range. I've compiled the kernel with
default serial code and also used patches I've found that modify
serial.c with code that addresses the special FIFO buffers on the 16C650
(location: http://www.devilsthumb.com/~rob) I've used them before with
great results on my old Cyrix P200+ box. Also I use irqtune to
reprioritize the irq so that /dev/cua2 (i.e. the 16C650 card which is
DOS COM3) is given the highest priority and of course setserial. This
exact setup worked great on my old Cyrix box but craps out totally on my
new P2. Just a default kernel with no mods yields the same results.
Same results also if just using my vanilla 16550A 9 pin serial port
native to the motherboard again with no kernel mods, just setserial.
I'm currently using an internal USR 56K modem w/linux with great speed
and no problems.
Anybody have any suggestions to try?

Subject: EXTREMELY high numbers of TX errors
Date: Thu, 25 Feb 1999 16:06:43 GMT
I've been investigating some problems I'm having connecting to some
sites (the problems may be theirs), and ran across this tidbit:
(IP address obscured for obvious reasons)
[operator@yoda]$ /sbin/ifconfig eth1
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:1B:0B:75:D7
inet addr:xx.v.yyy.zz Bcast:xx.v.yyy.255 Mask:255.255.252.0
UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:2267604 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
---> TX packets:955665 errors:362619034 dropped:1403112 overruns:0
Interrupt:5 Base address:0x340
This is a (real, it says "NOVELL" on the board) NE1000 ethernet card,
connected to a cable modem (TCI@HOME, DHCP to get address, etc..) The
other ethernet card in the machine, connected to the internal network
(bunch of Windows boxes), looks the same way:
[operator@yoda]$ /sbin/ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:1B:25:C6:F7
inet addr:192.168.1.20 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:1586668 errors:6 dropped:0 overruns:0
---> TX packets:42769 errors:530481085 dropped:1575137 overruns:3
Interrupt:3 Base address:0x300
Very, very high numbers of transmit errors. What is this? The
interrupts are otherwise unused. (There's only 2 cards in the
machine, the two network cards. Video is onboard.) "dmesg"
reports:
ne.c:v1.10 9/23/94 Donald Becker ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
NE*000 ethercard probe at 0x300: 00 00 1b 25 c6 f7
eth0: NE1000 found at 0x300, using IRQ 3.
NE*000 ethercard probe at 0x340: 00 00 1b 0b 75 d7
eth1: NE1000 found at 0x340, using IRQ 5.
So I'm quite sure I don't have an interrupt conflict. And I'm fairly
sure there's no memory conflict. Why all the transmit errors? Is
this a kernel problem? Is this a network-configuration problem?
(Like, is my MTU wrong?)
Things work, it just doesn't feel "fast enough" though. And I'm
wondering if the TX errors are the problem.

Subject: PPP Just Stopped Working

I've been trying to track down the source of a bug with my PPP box. Without
my doing anything (other than installing Interbase for Linux) on my RH 5.2
(2.0.36), my system no longer accepts incoming calls. mgetty properly
answers the incoming call and the ppp process starts, but quickly fails.
In what I believe to be a possibly related crime, I am unable to connect to
Interbase from either my LAN or via dialup. Things used to go really
quickly...now everything times out (but I can telnet, ftp, http without a
problem into the machine).
My /var/log/messages looks like:
Feb 26 22:50:50 picard pppd[398]: write warning: Inut/output error(5)

Subject: Re: adding a default route
I just set up IP MASQUERADE with version 5.2 and found thing worked best if
you had no default route. As you have nowhere to route packets if ppp is
not up this does make sense.
You can set a route under the Network Configuration. I had the default
route set to myself when I started and it only causes problems. I used the
Network configuration and cleaned out the values I set when I installed and
things improved.
I then set the two recommended iptwadm commands in /etc/rc.d/rc.local and
away it went.
The Network configuration is found under control-panel and is the button
with the connected computers on it.

You can't use DNS to do this kind of load balancing. There is no
way the DNS server can check system load before deciding how to
reply. "Big" sites use DNS to do round-robin load sharing, where
the same name can resolve to more than one system. The DNS server will
resolve the name to the different addresses in turn, but that isn't
dependent on the system loads.

hiho,
get the mac-address and look at this website
http://ftp.cavebear.com/CaveBear/Ethernet/vendor.html
using the mac you can easily identify your card. perhaps you find some
useful info about the (origin) vendor.

Try going into YaST and go into "Choose/Install Packages", then go into
the networking section and install the firewall scripts. I forgot the
name of it. Also make sure you install ipfwadm. After that is done, just
go to the system admin selection and find the section for firewall or masq
(whatever you need) and just plug in the values.
Hope this helps

set up as an alias (see the qmail docs for info). The man page for
qmail-control(5) is the "roadmap" for the qmail man pages. To understand
qmail fully, read the document named INTERNALS, which tells you how mail is
delivered.
If you've not read the FAQ, why not? There's a whole load of extra text files
in the distribution. To understand qmail fully you should read pretty much
most of them. Everything is documented, but very little is repeated.
Maildir has to be owned by the recipient of the mail, and should have write
access by the owner only else qmail will refuse to deliver (and log
accordingly). The message stays in the queue until the problem is fixed or
the message expires (at 7 days).
You set up the control files using "vi", or other text editor. You probably
need to check rcpthosts and locals. The set up of fetchmail is a fetchmail,
not a qmail problem. If you have people that relay through your machine
(eg, dial up customers or machines on the same LAN of which you are the
central SMTP server that all incoming/outgoing mail gets sent to), you will
need to read the FAQ, especially the bit about RELAYCLIENT.

Subject: Caching DNS Question
Date: 25 Feb 1999 18:32:16 GMT
I think this should get a pretty quick "It can't be done"/"Do it like this"
answer.
I have Linux 2.0.36 (heavilly customized oldish slakware release)
I connect to the internet using PPP via a 56k modem and diald. My
IP address is dynamic (unfortunately). I would like to configure
a caching DNS server on my box, partly because my ISP's DNS server can
be painfully slow, and partly just to see if I can.
I would be interested if anyone has achieved this - I seem to get problems
with the fact that my IP address changes from 0.0.0.0 to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
at login, which seems to cause named some grief.
Any suggestions (or sample named.boot,named.local etc.. files) welcome.
David - not so much a coward, more spam avoidance

This is actually deceptive. You can get a ...failed even if it does
work, go figure? Well this should help, instead of initializing dhcpcd
with just that add the '-h your_hostname' flag and it will work. THen
check it with ifconfig a moment later and you should be set.
