perl is about as much a standard component in any distribution as the rest of

Am I missing something. I was asked about setting up PPP through a DSL
connection. I thought that a DSL connection was up full time and
basically terminated at your end with some sort of hub/router. Why
would a PPP connection be necessary? Wouldn't a dual homed gateway
machine take care of any routing/FW problems?

what I want to know is,,is it possible to run the samba demon to provide

Ok, you are right.
There is just one little problem. There is only a version for Sparc-Linux
with strong encryption. And as I don't live in the USA but in Germany the
server just tells me: Your domain is not from USA so you are not allowed
to download this.
A version without encryption would do fine for me, because I don't need
it. But I can't find one.

Only when you compile support for the NIC into the kernel itself. This is done by
selecting [Y} during the make config step. If you select [M] (default most of the
time) then the support for the NIC in question is provided by a module that is
loaded when needed.

Not unless you compile the kernel to do so. Usually NIC support is via modules. And
you can pass parameters via LILO till you are blue in the face to no avail. When
support for a NIC is via modules you must pass any agruments via /etc/conf.modules

When you *thought* that you were passing arguments to the NIC driver via LILO, you
were in fact, passing them via /etc/conf.modules. And beware that just because it
works, doesn't necessarily mean that it is working in an acceptable manner. Unix
(and Linux) is a very complex OS and as such has enormous power and flexibilty but
at a price.
The next time you are confused about an issue it would help if you would ask .

Subject: VNC takes a hit running KDE
Date: Fri, 02 Apr 1999 02:14:06 GMT
It really should not have been a surprise but I noticed that Virtual
(VNC) & KDE lags more than FVWM or TWM. Once running an app in a
window, the speed is about the same and as a worst case, interactive
arcade games are playable but opening app's and switching from one
desktop to another, runs 4-6 seconds. It's still faster than PC
Anywhere or the reciprocal to XVNC (windows on linux) but I'd hoped
the current state of virtual X-windows would 've been better. MIX is
faster but it won't run much software or full blown KDE. I've heard
that Hummingbird is the best virtual unix/linux x software but
unfortunately, I don't $$ have it.
For reference, My setup consists of 350 & 300Mhz boxes, running
128MBs, over a 100base network, with three machines and one user.
Maybe caching the desktop's and other relatively static stuff, in
client ram, would speed up "the feel" of these virtual boxes. When
running VNC, I've monitored the CPU load/ram usage on host/client and
the host does most the work. Then, I suppose that past paradigms of
dumb terminals, are the reference models for this genre of software.
I think the days of running 'only' one or two platform specific
application on these virtual boxes are numbered. With thin clients
looking more and more like cheap alternatives to buying a bunch of
full blown PC's, for say, "office or even mid range engineering
workstations". This would be a trend back to less cumbersome
centralized networking, now that "COMMON" hardware can exceed >ASCII,
for cross or inter platform needs and not JUST the expensive servers/
workstations.
Any thoughts, suggestions, idea's or similar experiences?

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have a cable modem running on Linux Redhat kernel 2.2.2.
I have had IP Masq running before but I can't figure out what is wrong.
I have a 2 netgear 10/100 cards:
one eth0: 192.168.109.1 private
two eth1: 24.95.99.185 internet
I have setup everything that needs to be done to the kernel. I think is my be
the routing or ipchains?
I can use the linux box without a problem to the web but when I try to use the
other boxes on the network.
via eth0 I lose my default route. But the other boxes work for a few minutes.
here are the routes normal:
romos * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0
localhost * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 lo

default dt131n01.midsou 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1
then I try to access the web with 192.168.109.2 box. It works but then
stops!!
routes then go to this and hang:

This is what is in route cache:

and ip_forwarding is on:

I have come to the end I have know clue what it is I have even reinstalled and

I think I have missed something in the ipchains or routing.

I have run into almost exactly the same problem.
My setup involves a small network of machines connected via an ipmasq
router to my corporate intranet. Any attempt to mount an NFS volume
from an intranet outside the firewall (ironic that the _intra_net's outside
the firewall in this case, huh?) fails for machines behind the firewall.
The reason is the same as quoted in the original post and is caused by
the kernel ip masquerade code rewriting the source packets with the
router's source ip (correct) and an arbitrary source port (harmless in
most cases, but problematic when the dest cares about source ports).
In the case of NFS, source ports must be priviledged (ie root ran mount).
I checked the related HOWTO's / FAQ's and was unable to find any info on
rules for ip chaining that would specify a valid replacement port range
or would force replacement source addresses to match the source port of
the original (true) source host.
Any info would be __greatly__ appreciated.
Please post here for everyone's benefit.

Thank you master Yoda!
I've scratched the surface of this - but have not yet seen as lucid an
explanation as yours.

If the above is a literal "cut-and-paste" from a commandline,
then I'd check your /etc/hosts file.
localhost should be assigned to IP 127.0.0.1 and not 127.0.01
=========
If the 127.0.01 was a typo in your post, then please check ifconfig
It should report something like...
linux:~# ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:127.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3584 Metric:1
RX packets:9722 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:9722 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 coll:0
If it doesn't, then check your startup scripts for the loopback ifconfig and
route statements. They should look something like...
/sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
/sbin/route add -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 lo
In Slackware, these can be found in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1
If everything looks OK, then post...
a) ifconfig listing
b) route listing
c) your ifconfig startup script
d) /etc/hosts
e) /etc/networks
f) I don't know what else
and we'll see if we can help you

whenever I use netscape communicator under RH 5.2 it crashes after some
time. I either get an error message about bus errors or it freezes and
i have to manually kill it.
any suggestions?
