You're using your Linux box as a proxy. You need to run some proxy
software such as SOCKS5.
Squid proxies ftp from web browsers. I wonder why that's not working.
Check squid.conf to make sure it's configured properly.
Good luck,
Doug

Subject: COM ports switching?
Date: Wed, 31 Mar 1999 20:06:17 GMT
My system:
homebuilt w/TX PRO II motherboard and Cyrix MII-300 CPU
64MB EDO
ATI All-in-Wonder 4MB PCI
CMI8330 on-board audio chipset
Zip Zoom SCSI card (Adaptec 152x)
6.4GB WD UDMA HD
I'm running Win98 and Linux-Mandrake 5.3 (Red Hat 5.2 + KDE) and have
developed a problem. My motherboard has two onboard serial ports, only one
of which is enabled via the BIOS. Up until a few days ago, the serial port
was COM1 and my modem (Motorola MODEMSURFR 56k) was listed as COM2. Now, for
no apparent reason, my serial port has become COM3 and my modem COM4. This
presents no problems in Win98, but under Linux I can't access the modem now.
The KPPP setup program finds the modem as /dev/cua3 (it can't use /dev/cua1
anymore), but the ATI tests return no codes and the dialer locks up at the
"setting modem speaker volume" screen.
So, my question is -- how do I force my serial port to stay as COM1? There
seem to be no jumpers on the motherboard that would be relevant for it.
Thanks,
Michael

Does anyone have any experience with IPIP and the tunelling modules in Linux
2.0.x (Specifically -- 2.0.36 in RH5.2). I can't for the life of me get
this to work outside of my LAN. Can anyone give me a sample setup for
talking between two machines?
Machine A is in the 10.0.0.0/24 subnet and Machine B is in 192.168.1.0/24.
Machine A's IP is 10.0.0.1, B's is 192.168.1.1. I want B to have
192.168.1.2.
Throw me a bone, guys =)
Is it possible my provider (Videotron Cable in Canada) is filtering out the
necessary packets? I believe this is transmitted through UDP. Is there an
easy way to test it?
Thanks in advance.

Assuming your NT file system and proposed backup hard drive are both visible
from the Linux box, you should be able to tar them to your backup drive. You
could then gzip the tar file. The whole deal could run as a cron job and
you'd have scheduled, automatic backups. However, having lost track of the
number of failed hard drives I've replaced over the years, I have real
reservations about using a hard drive as a backup medium. Current tape
backups considerably eased the sting of restoring applications and data when
the inevitable occured. And it didn't matter that three drives were still
under warranty and were replaced free of charge when they failed. The data
was still gone, as will be your backups when (not if) the 13 gig drive dies.

Good, but you might think differently about the size. I find
that the best thing about a monitor is its quality. A 17"
flat square, hi-res, good color, monitor will probably give
you a better experience than a low cost 19 incher.

Good.

There's probably some important stuff in that etc.
For example, make sure to get a good modem, some

This looks like a good system. Make sure to get a good case.
P.S. Here's my (current) setup
Intel SE440BX mb (w/ sound, the sound is actually pretty good)
Pentium II 233 MHz processor (I know it's not great, but I'll upgrade later)
192 mb PC-100 SDRAM (1 128mb, and 1 64mb)
9 gb Seagate Medalist pro IDE hd
5 gb Western Digital Caviar IDE hd
8x CDROM (I should probably upgrade, but I don't see a big need yet)
Starfighter AGP 8mb video card (with any vid. card, you buy it, it's obsolete)
USR 56K fax internal modem (V.90 compliant, works great with Linux)
15" Phillips-Magnavox monitor (not great, but very good, and low cost)
etc.
A couple things of note
A black keyboard (way cool)
And, most importantly, a kick ass case (check out www.circotech.com,
Model 720, in black).
Also, I multi-boot Win NT 4.0, Win 98, and RedHat 5.2. I
use NT most of the time, but I use Linux sometimes. Although,
I just got my 9gb hd, and RedHat fairly recently. Nevertheless,
I managed to get Linux up and running within a couple of days
(running X-window, using ppp, etc.), so it's very functional
now.

What are you trying to use to read news with? Some news readers can be set
up to read directly from a remote nntp host, or you can use suck to pull

Subject: postupgrade to 2.2.1 kernel ppp problem
Date: Fri, 2 Apr 1999 00:16:18 +0300
Recently I upgraded my kernel to 2.2.1 wanting to install ipchains instead
of ipfwadm.
I have a ppp connection and an ethernet on my linux box which connects our
internal private network to the internet.
After the upgrade the ppp connection doesn't work anymore.
I configured the firewall according to the instructions from the man pages
but the ppp connection doesn't work.
When I run ifconfig ppp0 I receive the correct answer but when I ask about
the status of the network with
netstat -nr there is no ppp0 device.
Can anyone tell me where is the error ?
Fortunately I kept the 2.0.34 kernel and it works this way (ppp and ipfwadm
for masquerading).

I'd suggest just not using encripted passwords. To do this follow these
instructions for the windows clients.
Procedure:
1) Launch the Registry Editor as follows:
Click on: /Start/Run
Type "regedit" and press enter.
2) Double click on: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
3) Locate the following Key:
/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/VxD/VNETSUP
4) From the menu bar select Edit/New/DWORD Value
5) Rename the entry from "New Value #1" to:
EnablePlainTextPassword
6) Press Enter, then double click on the new entry.
A dialog box will pop up and enable you to set a value.
You must set this value to 1.

For one thing, that chat script is not very likely to work. You aren't
entering in a username or password or anything.
Look in /var/log/ppp.log. Since you have the -v switch on chat, there
should be a lot of info there.
If you get stuck still, post excerpts of the log file to the
