I have a USR/3COM 56K v. 90 internal. I notice that when I do a "3COM
search" on www.pricewatch.com that this modem is frequently marked
(various vendors and prices):

Maybe these vendors are starting to get the picture?

dynamically assigning IP addresses has nothing to do with IP masquerading.
You need to set up a DHCP server for that. I really don't see why you'd want
to do that on a small home network.

uh-huh. You need SMTP server to send mail which also has to have a static
IP.
Theoretically, you can set up a DNS server which will resolve host names to
their IP addresses, but:
DNS server absolutey must have a static IP
There is a delay in updating the DNS entries. e.g. if the IP address of
mymailserver.com changes from x.x.x.x to y.y.y.y, DNS server will NOT update
the entry instantly. Every DNS entry has a time-to-live (TTL). It gets
updated when it expires.

Subject: Re: HELP!! Final attempt at Samba installation
Date: Thu, 01 Apr 1999 00:02:27 GMT
First, I'm no guru. I do have Samba running on my Redhat Linux based
machine, but aren't doing anything serious with it, yet. I've seen
several replies you've recieved, and would like to reinforce one of
them.
First things first. Is your TCP/IP networking set up correctly? If
it's not, Samba can't work. Can you ping from your Win95/98 machines
to the Linux PC? How about the other way? The first time I set up
Samba, I reconfigured the Win98 machine over and over before it would
see the server in any way.
Is samba even running on your server? From what you've written, my
impression is that Debian requires a higher level of administrator
input and just because you've installed and configured Samba, doen't
mean it was started at boot time.

Hi,
Check to see if the problem is caused by the NIC card in the Linux PC.
If it is set to plug and play mode this will work fine in WIN 95 but will
not work in Linux if there
are conflicts in IRQ or base port with other devices in the PC.
Hope you are successful,

I didn't understand why that did anything, but I have a limited understanding

Well, I sincerly want to thank you as I was able to rectify that problem
by following your instructions.
I also got ipchains working, as it was setup fine all along, but I had setup
dhcpd wrong so that the default gateway was looking to 192.168.0.10. Not
the same as 192.168.0.1 of course.
Thank you VERY MUCH for your time sir.

I am looking for a software package that can authenticate users on a variety
of platforms when they make any www proxy request. I have used wingate in
the past, but now I am moving over to linux. Wingate provided an
authentication method that used a java client. While the client was logged
in, web pages were accessed, close the client, and teh web becomes
disfunctional.
Squid does not appear to have user authentication capabilities. I am not
looking for distributing rights based on host name, but rather by username.
I have found that CSM does offer this capability, but then again it costs
$700. What are my other options?
Basically I want to be able to track and log user web activity.

The subnet isn't that important, it just sets the range of addressable IPs on

First, if you've got the NIC support compiled in, check to see if it's active,
and if it's grabbing the correct addresses:
cat /proc/interrups
cat /proc/io_ports
Also remember that the card works best in ISA mode, not PnP mode, so you
may need to download the dos utility that 3Com has to set it into that mode.
If you're using a nonstandard io addr and irq, then you may need to either
pass those parameters to the kernel with LILO, if you've compiled support into
the kernel, or when you load the module.
If it's active, then try this at the command prompt (assuming that it doesn't
show up under ifconfig):
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 195.66.26.238 broadcast 195.66.24.255 netmask 255.255.248.0
Do an ifconfig, and see if the device was brought up. If so, then:
/sbin/route add default gw 195.66.24.4 netmask 0.0.0.0 metric 1
If everything looks kosher then, with route -n, try pinging someone in the
outside world. :-)
BTW, all this assumes that the numbers you're using above are correct. As far
as the domain name and nameservers, stuff them in your /etc/resolv.conf like:
domain rotterdam.quicknet.nl
search rotterdam.quicknet.nl
nameserver 195.66.24.5
nameserver 195.66.24.4
One more thing, isn't it a tad strange that your DNS servers and your gateway
are the same machine?
