Subject: ethernet hardware working but can't ping etc
Date: Sun, 07 Mar 1999 08:41:42 +0000
I was hoping I could get my net configured without bothering
the newsgroup, but...
I have two PCs, one running RedHat 5.1 and one running win95.
I have a Netgear LAN kit (FE104 hub, two FA310TX cards).
I just want to get these two machines talking. I'm using
version 0.90 of the tulip driver loaded as a module.
ifconfig shows that when the win95 machine pings the linux
machine some packets are received by eth0 so I believe the
hardware is setup and working correctly. So I think
I must have a software config problem. I've read through
the NET-3-HOWTO and the Ethernet-HOWTO but haven't found
a solution. Hopefully I'm overlooking something obvious.
My next step is to check to make sure the IRQ is correct,
I guess, but after that I'm stumped. Maybe the win95 box
can send but not receive? Any suggestions what to try next?
Thanks,
-Carl

Subject: Linux and Windows NT server?
Date: Mon, 08 Mar 1999 10:06:37 GMT
I've set up a home network with one computer running Windows NT4
server (PDC) and the other one Linux with the 2.2.0 kernel and Samba
2.0.0. The problem is that it's only possible to connect to the Linux
computer from Win NT. When I try to connect to Win NT with smbclient
-L <hostname>, I get error message "access denied" after typing the
password.
I've edited the registry of NT to enable plain text password.
I was able to make a good network connection from Linux to Win 98 in
the past with samba, what am I doing wrong this time?

I'm not sure I understand your question. The only purpose for diald
is to start your modem dialing when it sees network traffic outside
your own network.
If diald is not running, just put a line in one of your startup scripts
which will start it up when your computer starts. I placed a line in
my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file. This is on a Slackware system.

Hello,
one way to do this, is installing slip and diald.
You should read the Diald mini howto. It says something like this:
" [....]When a connection request comes along, it automatically dials up my
preferred ISP [....]"
One word about this... I've installed this on a Linux box that serves about
20 machines, and I can say to you that the line is almost always up.... I
think it is best for stand-alone machines... just my 2 cents...
Hope it helped,

network is 100 Mbit
I'm connecting 20 win95 klients

time to display them.
2. If I try to connect from Excel to an Access database (ca. 45 Mb) on

3. If "read raw=yes" then it takes very very long time to open files
This is my conf file:

At the Linux machine, type

Subject: IP-Chains question
Date: Sun, 7 Mar 1999 20:35:16 +0100
Hi there,
I�m having some trouble with setting up a particular ipchain rule on an
ethernet adapter that gets its ip-address from a DHCP server. Currently I�ve
set it up as follows :
ipchains -P input DENY
ipchains -A input -p TCP -i eth1 -s 0/0 -d xx.xx.xx.xx/32 1024: -j ACCEPT
What I�m trying to achieve with this rule is that the machine will only
accept connections to ports >1024. However, the problem is that my eth1
adapter gets it�s address through DHCP and therefor frequently changes. How
can I set up this IP-Chain rule so that " xx.xx.xx.xx " is always the
IP-Address of my eth1 adapter?
Any help would be appreciated.

What I do is configure the client computers behind my linux router to
use an off-site DNS server. I use IP addresses for local connections
(too lazy to figure out Windows hosts files); when someone types in a
URL, the browser looks it up, and off goes diald. Now, the first packet
is usually lost, so the someone has to re-request the URL (I think there
is a patch to fix this, again too lazy...).

The problem is that the tcp-wrapper (inetd) does a dns-lookup when someone
tries to connect to you machine. If that fail it will take about a minute
before you gain access to the system. If you enter you windows machines name

The standard ISA NE2000 driver works fine with this (I use it for my
D-Link DE220PCT).
One point that may aid setup. go into dos and use the setup program on
the D-Link disk to disable the PnP option and set the base address to
0x240 and irq to 3 (I find these are the only ones that work for me
you may want to experiment).
you then pass the io=0x240,irq=3 commands to the ne2000 module/driver
in the relevant place.
However if you also switch to Win32 occasionaly you may have to remove
the net card from windows and add it again AFTER restarting your PC a
few times.
Hope this helps

You all should have known that this has existed since the intro of Windows
95! There was big hoopla from beta testers who found it "sending stuff over
TCP" in the background. This is really old news. I informed people not to
use the online registration and to turn off cookies, and install a trace
monitor if they were that concerned.

Subject: Linux as LAN Gateway
Date: Sat, 06 Mar 1999 12:59:12 GMT
Hi All,
I am planning on building up a spare machine to be an Internet Gateway
for my LAN. The clients will be 4 Win98 and 1 Win98/Linux (my
machine).
Now I want to be able to use redirection so that all OSes and machines
think they are DIRECTLY connected without having to use proxy if
that's possible.
I want the Linux box as a news & e-mail server/forwarder so that it
connects each night or weekend, checks for the latest newsgroup
messages & E-Mails to the familly from the ISP and stores it locally
so that we can point our newsgroup readers and E-Mail software to the
linux box, and get the latest on it.
I also want to provide a Part-Time Web & FTP server for the weekends.
What I want to know is How do I do it and Which HOWTOS do I need to
read to provide further background information (I downloaded the
latest on Feb 27)
Thanks in advance
