I think you can. But this may give you other problems. While you
are connected to network A you won't be able to reach hosts on
network B because your PC thinks it's directly connected to both
networks and won't bother using the default gateway.

That's definitely the easiest, most hassle-free and proper
solution, provided you have a DHCP server on both networks.
Unless the DHCP servers operate with fixed leases only
(uncommon) you don't have to register your MAC address.
Hope this helps
Steffen.

Slackware. When I install slackware, the first thing I have to do is
configure and compile the kernel for my network card support (no need for
ppp, I have a cable modem). That, and I like to get the bloat out by getting
rid of "everything and their dog" that I don't need. I consider this a
valuabe feature that is not possible in OS's like Windows, and is worth the
small amount of extra effort.

Rather dramatic. Sorry, but compiling the kernel is not the horror you
describe. In fact, using xconfig, I don't see it being any more daunting or
difficult than getting X running. You run a script, answer some questions
(or click some buttons), and give a couple of commands. What's so hard and
horrible about that? Nothing. Hell, the xconfig help buttons even tell you
what to do if you're not sure. You need to chill on the FUD. If someone can
get X configured and running, they can configure and compile the kernel.
There are no extra skills involved, other than some reading comprehension
skills, and the ability to follow the simple sentence "if you aren't sure,
just check X". I think it's the FUD that keeps them from finding this out.

If people want something done half-assed, they should stick to MS Operating
systems and tools. Linux is a very useful tool. For some people, it is a
new tool. And along with using new tools comes some learning. You can't
have your cake and eat it too. I don't consider running the kernel configure
script "experimenting" or "tinkering" as you seem to. It comes with the
territory. It's not complex either. And with xconfig, it's *simple*. Your
insistence that it is some complex and difficult experience is killing me.

This is the first step in the process. When you're writing a techincal
procedure paper, ya gotta cover all the bases. When you're trying to fix
something that doesn't work, ya gotta eliminate the variables.

Nope. I'm not big on analogies, but mine would be more like having them read
the driver's manual, know how to fix a flat tire, check the oil, and put the
right kind of gas in the tank. Not everyone does those things, and that's
how mechanics and wreckers make their money - peoples' insistence on doing
things half-assed. <back to our topic> If you can afford the money, but
can't afford the extra effort, buy Microsoft's products. If you want it done
right, a small amount of learning comes with the territory.

Linux can't please everyone (not yet anyway). I know a guy that complains
about having to mount and unmount floppies. That's just the way it goes. If
you want the benefits of useful tools, you need to understand some things,
and to learn to do things differently.

I have RH5.2. I used ntsysv to disable sendmail on startup and verified
runlevel with chkconfig. sendmail for run level 3 is turned off. I
rebooted. When I go to /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail status, I get:
sendmail (pid 992

A few others are doing the same thing like snmpd and ypbind.

The easiest way might be to use them as x terminals with the
big machine. Install linux and xfree86 on each machine.
Have the big machine run xdm. Just run the x server on the
workstation machines and point it to the big machine to log
in: "X -query [hostname]" (where [hostname] is the name of
the big machine). Xdm on the big machine will detect the
the remote x server when it tries to connect and send it the
xdm login screen. The workstation will display the user's x
desktop exactly as if s/he were sitting at the console of
the big machine (within the limits of the x server and
hardware, of course). All the applications and such that
are available on the big machine can be run from the x
terminal and the x terminal only has to handle the display
and network connection.

Subject: IP Masq + Routing with problems
Date: Fri, 05 Mar 1999 20:16:12 GMT
I have the most frustrating problem with my IP Masq. Ever since I set it
up. Every 2-5 minutes my computer behind the IP Masq is disconnected
from the internet for a few seconds. Sometimes it comes back on it's own
quickly and sometimes I need to Telnet into the Linux box that is doing
the Masqing and is connected to the internet to get it up. I am running
Redhat 5.1 with kernel 2.0.35. This is the following stuff from my
rc.local file for my IP Masq setup. Following that are my routing
tables. Maybe someone can make sense of it. BTW, my external IP is
167.206.209.24, which is connected to the Linux box. The second NIC is
192.168.1.1 and the Windows box is 192.168.1.2

Any ideas? It seems the 167.206.208 gateway is the gateway for

changed by the cable company. I figured their DHCP server corrected
everything.)

hello gurus out there,
my company owns at the moment one mail/dns server which is running linux (of
course). I saw, that you can define MX records with priority. so I thought
about setting up an old 486 as a second mail/dns server.
the question: how does it work? if the first mail-server crashes, the mails
go then to the second I assume. but when I restart the first one, will the
second one automatically send the mails back to the first one? or is there
any mechanism for this scenario?
any hints are greatly appreciated

Hello,
DISCLAIMER : I am no network expert. "DLDADMIN" probably knows more on
the subject than I do. But ...
if your kernel supports modules, you may choose yourself what driver
to use; and then start the network "by hand", by running (on debian)
/etc/init.d/networks.
Also, does your network card have both BNC and RJ-45 ? I can only
get mine (a 3c900) to function with the BNC. See the other 3cXXX
threads on this newsgroup.
Good luck,

I have a very serious problem with a Linux box: It is unable to transmit
even a single IP packet. ifconfig shows all packets fail due to
collision - ALL of them!
I have reinstalled RedHat 5.2 from scratch (ruling out configuration
errors). I have tried different network cards with no change at all in
the situation. I have tried connecting it to a hub via 10BaseT and Coax,
tried direct connection to other computer via Coax. Even tried different
cables, all of which work in other setups.
The result stays exactly the same: all TX packets fail after 16
consecutive collisions.
I'm going insane here. WHAT DO I DO WRONG?
"arp -a" shows (after a couple of minutes) that the machine doesn't know
the address of anything.
"route" shows correct basic route setup (local network and default
route) after a couple of minutes.
"ifconfig" shows all RX packets on eth0 received ok, and all TX packets
failed.
More accurate information can be given on request.
PLEASE HELP!

Maybe reading man bash ? The login bash only reads /etc/profile

Generic info for RH 5.2. Assumption: you installed PPP.
===================================================================
RH puts ppp scripts in /usr/doc/ppp-2.3.5
Copy ppp-on, ppp-on-dialer, options to /etc/ppp.
BTW:I have copied /dev/null to options.
These need to be made execuitable. Execute chmod 755 on ppp-on
and ppp-on-dialer
===================================================================
Modify ppp-on by editing the following:
TELEPHONE, ACCOUNT, PASSWORD
==================================================================
For exec command. put in correct device probably
cua1 (for RH5.2) and modem speed
===================================================================
Edit /etc/resolv.conf and put in ISP nameserver given you by your
ISP.
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
You usually get two from your isp.
====================================================================
execute ppp-on & and monitor logs with
tail -f /var/log/messages.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
OR:
Control Pannel: Modem configuration. Select
correct device. (used in ppp-on script)
===================================================================
Control Pannel: Network Configurator: Routing: Defaults blank
PPP0 will use this so needs a blank here.
===================================================================
Network Configurator: Names: insert ISP
nameserver addresses.
===================================================================
System Configurator: PPP/SLIP/PLIP: Configurations, Add
Fill in Hardware, Communication. Assumes PAP not
required - If things do not work check with ISP.
==================================================================
Save quit. Verify /etc/resolv.conf has your ISP
addresses.
==================================================================
The linuxconf sets up most things but does not
setup the ppp-on script - that must be done by hand.
==================================================================
Testing:
cd /etc/ppp
execute ppp-on
Ping locally between your network machines to insure your ok.
Ping some net address by ip number like 10.220.10.120. Once ppp
is connected.
Verify your name server working, ping boston.com or do an
nslookup microsoft.com
When not dialed in ping someother box locally by name
to insure yor local resolution is working say if
done by the /etc/hosts and /etc/lmhosts.
=============================================================
If things do not work turn on debugging or up the level of
debugging. Edit the scripts and put debug 7 in there.
For LCP errors two common causes are the ISP is not responding
to you - he's down or you and the ISP are out of sync on PAP.

Subject: ipppd doesn't see ippp1
Date: Sat, 06 Mar 1999 14:09:05 GMT
I can't get MPP to work with ipppd. Single channel runs fine.
Hardware: Cisco 200 (HiSax), Software: Kernel 2.0.36, isdn4k-utils-3.0beta2,
isdn4net-1.4.1
HiSax says "2 channels" and configuration scripts runs fine, but ipppd only
finds one device (ippp0). It should find 2, shouldn't it?
isdnctrl list all says ippp0 is bound to 0 and ippp1 is bound to 1.
That's correct, isn't it?
If I try to manually add ippp1 (isdnctrl addlink ippp0) it says "isdn_ppp_bind: Can't
find usable ippp interface."
I'm stuck! What should I look for?
