Just an update folks. I had a thought the other day that maybe it was
my old motherboard that had a defective BIOS. (1996-era, never
upgraded) Apparently it didn't quite implement the PnP part quite
correctly and decided to assign an IO base and IRQ to the card during
boot up. I couldn't find the details of the original settings in my
system logs, and NT refused to tell me what I wanted to know about the
card, so I d/l the latest isapnptools. After trying all the valid IRQs
and IO bases recommended by the hardware specs, I could only find one
that didn't report a conflict, 280h, but it still wouldn't initialize.
Then I thought about the floppy I got with the card. There are
supposedly SCO drivers on there for the card. So I looked around on the
floppy and eventually found a section of documentation on how to use the
card on "other" OSs. There they mentioned using the included DOS binary
acerset.exe to tell the card to operate in "jumperless" mode rather than
PnP. I did that (good thing I kept my old DOS boot floppies around),
set the default IO base and IRQ to 280h and 10 respectively and rebooted
into Linux.
Everything is working fine now. Just wanted to pass on the info to
anyone else who may have bought the same card.

I've the same problem. But I try to connect to an AIX-Unix-System with
SAMBA-shares.
I previously asked about it in the newsgroups, but the only answer I got
was that I should try to recompile the smbmount-source.
... It didn't work....
If you find something out, please tell me about it.

Subject: Proxim Ethernet Adapter

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'm looking to set up a small wireless network consisting of a linux box
and a couple of Macs (no Windoze machines). Most of the existing products
I've seen are Win95/98 specific (i.e. HomeFree, Symphony) but I did run
across Proxim's RangeLan2 Ethernet Adapter. All the machines I'm looking
to hookup already have ethernet installed and are split between 2 separate
hubs. I basically want to bridge the hubs (which are on different floors)
without laying cable. From what I can tell from Proxim's literature I
should be able to connect each hub to a 7920 Ethernet Adapter and have a
transparent, wireless bridge between the hubs. Does anyone have any
experience with these adapters. Is it really this simple or are there any
hidden "gotcha's"??
Thanks for any help,

Kernel 2.0.35 works fine. I use Slackware and dial up access (ppp-go) to my
ISV. But when I switch to kernel 2.2.1 (reompiled by me) I get the following
message in response to "route add localhost":
SIOCADDRT No such device
Needless to say my dialup access to my ISV also doesn't work.
Something is not kosher in my new kernel, but what? I have tried all
reasonable combinations of parameters that I can think of.
When I switch back to 2.0.35 all is fine again.

I use fetchmail-4.6.0 to fetch mail from my ISP to allow local distrubution
from a
single user account at the ISP (multidrop mailbox). The multidrop mailbox is
connected to the domain: seaview.se by the ISP.
In my local network, I want the faked "domain name" to be the same (maybe
this is a mistake).
By using the localdomains option of fetchmail, I would like sendmail to make
a mail destinated to [EMAIL PROTECTED] be delivered to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I tought that since the local "seaview.se" and local "mail.seaview.se" in
fact are at
the same IP address, sendmail would not complain!
But it does not work! I am new to "bind" and "sendmail". I get the following
to postmaster when fetchmail puts the mail on the smtp port.
Why does sendmail complain about the mail "being looped back"?
I would be very, very happy if someone can explain....and maybe even tell me
how to fix this!
best regards

This message is sent to several who asked a related question..... networking
win98/win95 and Linux. Howtos can be read online at
http://www.linuxhq.com/info-index.html
General Network info: (note: not all info is needed by all systems)
Use 192.168.x.y where x=same, y=different for each machine
netmask= 255.255.255.0
broadcast=192.168.x.255
gateway=192.168.x.ipoflinuxmachineoripofnatrouter
If two machines w/RJ45, use crossover cable, otherwise use hub.
Linux Side:
Install and configure Samba to do peer to peer between win98/95 and linux.
http://www.linuxhq.com/HOWTO/SMB-HOWTO.html
ONLY IF NEEDED: Install ISC dhcp server (for 2 machines, better use static/manually
assigned IPs) (http://www.isc.org)
Use ".bogus" as your top level domain
make sure the /etc/hosts file contains the name of your machine
Win98:
If you get a 169.254.x.y address, then it is configured for dhcp, or your network
card IS NOT working correctly. Win98 uses one of these "linklocal" addresses when
it cant contact a dhcp server either due to network not working or no dhcp server.
set the gateway to be 192.168.x.ip_of_linux_machine_or_ip_of_nat_router

Subject: RealServer G2 Problems...
Date: Sun, 28 Feb 1999 23:11:40 +0100
Hello!
I had a great Linux system, that also had a Realserver Basic 5.0 server
for broadcasting a live webcam.
After a STUPID 'rm /usr -r' (instead of rm /getridofbackup/bin -r), I
dediced to wipe my Slackware disk clean and install RedHat. I wanted to
install 5.2, but because my FTP-install gave me some problems, I finally
loaded RH 5.0.
I installed a basic system, with Samba 1.9.18 (I believe), which I
upgraded to the newest version 2.x. This required me to install some new
libraries, but works as a charm.
Because I was reinstalling anyway, I decided to go for the new RealServer
G2 as well. After a perfect install, I tried the samples on the
RealServer HTTP Administration Page, and they worked flawlessly. When
trying to do a live webcam broadcast, I ran into trouble.
Although my RealEncoder G2 (based on a second Wintel PC) can connect to
the RealServer on the Linux box, and encoded as he should, the RealPlayers
connecting to the Webcam always seem to bounce. I always get errors like
'can't reach host', 'can't connect to server', etc... The strangest
thing is that prerecorded videos can be reached, but the webcam can't.
In a struggle to get my webcam online I reinstalled the 5.0 version, but
this one doesn't work either. I think my /etc/services and
/etc/inetd.conf are ok, so that it's probably not the case that inetd is
blocking ports (although I didn't specifically enter the realserver ports
in /etc/services). If that would be the problem, I believe my prerecorded
videos shouldn't play eiter, but they do.
I must say I'm using a i486, 66Mhz with IPmasq., but that didn't prevent
me from serving with RealServer 5.0. What could the problem be with
this G2?
Any ideas, please.
Thanks in advance

Hi LP,

The rules you did implement up to now can be implemented with ipfwadm
too. You'll really learn to like ipchains if you start to implement
anti-spoofing rules since one can not match to any address not in a set
with ipfwadm without specifying an action out of (DENY, REJECT, ACCEPT).
Example:
INTERNALNETS="10.0.0.0/24 192.168.1.0/24"
INTERNALIF="eth1"
EXTERNALIF="eth0"
ipchains -N src-spoof
# deny any packets coming from outside with internal addresses
for N in $INTERNALNETS ; do
ipchains -A src-spoof -s $N -i $EXTERNALIF -j DENY -l
done
# from inside only permit packets with local addresses
for N in $INTERNALNETS ; do
ipchains -A src-spoof -s $N -i $INTERNALIF -j RETURN
done
ipchains -A src-spoof -s $N -i $INTERNALIF -j DENY -l
# link the chain to the input ruleset
ipchains -A input -j src-spoof

It's quite normal that multiple attempts do appear. TCP does resend
packets if they seems to have been lost. So aslong as people wait to be
connected the packets will be resent. Viewing at the timestamps you see
the expotential backoff to work - the time beetween the attempts does
get longer each time.

Do you get your IP assigned (semi-)dynamicly (*)? For this case it's
quite normal to be happend if someone did offer a telnet login under
this IP before.
> I, F and T stands for?
L length of packet
S TOS
I identification
F flags and fragment offset
T TTL
There is a slight difference beetween Linux 2.0 and 2.1+ in the
byte-order applied for some of the values (see
/usr/src/linux/net/ipv4/ipfw.c).

These packets look like quite normal IP packets with some options and
the DF flag ("don't fragment") set.
(*) semi-dynamicly: you get it dynamicly but usally stay online 24/7 and
thus are keeping the same IP

I was just going to say the same thing. But I don't think that '/etc/hosts'
will accept and comments. Win9X has comments in their 'c:\windows\hosts'
file, but not Linux. I think? KAS

Can anyone tell me how to allow root telnet access to a Linux box?
I've added .rhosts file to root's home directory but it seems to be
PAM authentication that is preventing it.

Hello,
I'm trying to set up IPmasq between my linux box (RH 5.2) and my Win95
machine. I can telnet into the Linux machine from the Win 95 box, but I
can't get out to the Internet from it. I am using the TrinityOS
rc.firewall script... I'm just not sure what to check next.
Thanks

Subject: Bridge as switch
Hi.
I have a Redhat 5.2 box with a 4 port Ethernet card. All four interfaces
work fine (if I enable them). I would like to configure the box to have
one ip address, but use the other three interfaces as though they were a
switching hub.
I have tried using the experimental bridging code. I managed to link two
subnets using two of the interfaces on my card, so I can make it work
(sort of), but can't make much sense of the two HOWTO's in light of my
requirement. I really don't need or want to bridge different subnets, I
just want to switch traffic between other workstations on my subnet
without having to route it.
I tried setting all the interfaces to the IP address I want to show for
my box and turning on bridging. My system would no longer respond to
pings or valid requests at ports on that IP address on any of the
interfaces.
>From my reading of the bridging stuff, it looks like it may be able to
support what I want, but I just can't get it to work the way I would
like.
Any ideas?

If there is jumpers, you probably didn't waste your money. But you MUST jumber
the modem for one of the standard communications ports (1-4). So if you don't
have a manual and there is nothing printed on the circuit board of the modem,
you did waste your money. With jumpers and the knowledge to set them
correctly, you can get the modem to work. KAS
