Here in comp.os.linux.networking, Dan Rotelli <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
spake unto us, saying:
>Anyone know of a way to get linux to support multilink PPP (or

What is it? And who uses it? Most ISPs use standard PPP using either
PAP or CHAP as negotiation protocols.

I've never used a Windows flavor to connect to the net. Started with
DOS and the PC/GEOS-based "DOS" AOL client, moved to DOS and Telemate
with my Delphi account, moved to OS/2 and PPP, and now use Linux and
OS/2 in combination via ADSL.
Why limit yourself? :-)

But surely this is a domain hosting service - correct me if I am wrong ?
The info that I require is to know howto set up my own IP www homepage
and control it from my own box, I know I need to contact the respecive
authorities
Who are they ?
What hardware do I need - leased line or normal daily used telephone
line ?
I have set up PPP and DNS this works fine for my IPS but what if I would
like to host my own server.
Reasons my current home page is used to much and the IPS is withdrawing
its
use.
Many thanks

Make sure the id/password you're logged in with on the W95/98 box is setup on
the Linux box. Be careful of password encryption. Also read the samba docs
carefully.

Subject: tftp question?
Date: Fri, 26 Feb 1999 15:43:53 GMT
I am using Redhat 5.0 with the 2.0.32 kernel and am having trouble
tftp'ing files to it. I want to use this system as a tftp server for
the purpose of uploading files to it via the tftp protocol. It is on an
isolated network so security is not a major concern. The problem I am
having is that I get and "access denied" errors when I try and send
files to it. I know I have good IP connectivity. What I was wondering
is there some config files that I need to modify so that I can specify
which directory the files go to and have permission to be uploaded to.
Or I missing something all together? Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Duane,
I can see where a PPPIOCGDEBUG would get rejected if the
query flags
were not as expected for this query and could verify this with if
the
debug level was turned up. It would show the flags it failed on
if this
is where its failing. So higher debug level would help.
There is a failure in ppp.c for EPERM which is Operation not
permitted which
happens if the user euid must be root. Are you dialing in as a
different user
without root? Its just a guess but its happening within
pp_tty_ioctl.
It also looks like an another error could happen registering
the line
discipline which also is non-fatal and would to a prink but *
think shoud
be showing up as a kerne kernel: error somewhere in the logs if
debug is
at that level.

Subject: Re: W98-to-Linux Masquerade OK, but Linux-to-Linux Not!
Can you ping the linux server?
Did you include the client linux box's ip in the range allowed when
writing your ipfwadm commands?
The two I used where
ipfadm -F -p deny
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.255.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0
In the client did you set your gatway to the linux box doing the
masquerading. Check using the control panel.
In the client type in the command "route -n" to make sure the route is
set.
It does work, good luck

Is it only on anonymous FTP? If so, maybe the static-linked
binary for ~ftp/bin/ls was linked with libraries that are not
compatible with your upgraded kernel.

Subject: diald ppp slip
Date: Sun, 28 Feb 1999 03:04:12 +0100
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
my linux machine had a working configuration as an internet router & was
dialing out for 2 windows 95 clients.
by a stupid mistake that machine has been powered down and up a few
times without halting/rebooting.
Now it is no more possible to dialout. pinging the linux box and using
apache works fine. Minicom finds the modem and I can dial out. diald
doesn�t stay resident although config. has not changed.
I already recompiled the kernel - no difference.
running the ppp login scripts on the linux-box makes it hang, only a
"kill" makes it recover.
any help is appreciated,
Thomas

Date: Sat, 27 Feb 1999 04:36:43 GMT
Can anyone point me to documentation - as detailed as possible -
on the following items. ( Online is best, but books, journals,
anything will be appreciated ).
1. The /proc directory - this is a view into the kernel, but
it is very difficult to find details of what the variables
are and how they work. I am particularly interested in the
tcp/ip variables in /proc/net and the SNMP variables.
2. From a tcp/ip standpoint - an exposition of the complete
accounting ( bean counting ) rules for packets flowing
into/out of a node - essentially a graph with the nodes
being the categories and the links showing the possible
paths and the rules which govern them. This is so that
one could construct a complete report of what happens
to all the packets at that node.
Thanks.

Hello.
I am having trouble configuring the firewall in linux. I don't know

Do i use ipwadim or ipchains? And cause i don't know how to do
scripts either, as in no idea how they who and what all the stuff means,
i wouldn't mind some help there too.
Well thanks again.

Turns out that the link in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d, from S??network ->
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network was not there, even tho the system had been

Subject: Win98 >< Linux
Date: Sun, 28 Feb 1999 02:16:02 GMT
Okay its been two weeks and I am no closer to getting my two boxes networked
as I was when I started. Heres what I got:
Linux RH5.1
486 Dx-50
20MB Ram
420HD
3com 3c509
IP:192.168.1.1
Win98
P-200MMX
96MB Ram
1.6GHD
3com Fast EtherLink XL 10/100Mb TX
IP:192.168.1.2
The Link light on my Linux box is on until the card is initalized at boot then
it goes off. When I go into Network Configurator in X it shows the card it
active. Only when I deactivat the card does the link light come on. On the
Win98 box the light is NEVER on. Not on boot, not while it pings itself,
NEVER! I know this card works but I have never seen the light.
Also am I correct in thinking that I do not have to have a hub to network
these? I can just plug the network cable into the two right?
And by the way I have read the Ehternet HOWTO, DNS HOWTO, SMB HOWTO, IPX
HOWTO, DHCP HOWTO, TCP/IP HOWTO, and I am currently writing the "HOWTO not
have a nervous break-down when trying to network Linux and Windoze"
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm getting tired of staying up
until 3 in the morning without getting any further in the process.

No question, go the IP_Masq route! :) It costs you nothing extra, though
some functions will need to be specially configured.
OTOH, if you can get a "Class C" network for free (note that "Class" terms
are now obsolete), it's worthwhile going that way.
