If you turn on forwarding without IP masqurading it won't be a firewall
anymore, it will be a router.
I assume since they are trusted domain this is ok.
Look at /etc/sysconfig/network. Look for :
FORWARD_IPV4=yes
If it's not there then add it. You may also need to add the routes to your
route table.
If it is a Linux firewall, fowarding may already be on. You may need to
turn off IP masquarading.

If it's the *initial* connection that is slow, then that can normally be
resolved by adding the IP address for the windows box in /etc/hosts on
the Linux machine.

However, that sounds slow and suggests maybe a connection problem. If
the Linux box also has a dos/windows partition, what sort of response
does ping give from that? Are the cards/cable definitely good?

Subject: DHCP and IP-Masquerade
Date: 3 Apr 1999 01:08:11 GMT
I used to run four Linux/Win95/NT/MAC boxes in a network using TCP/IP.
One linux box has IP-Masquerade, is DNS and connected to the internet with PPP
over a phone line. Everything worked well. Now I replaced the phone modem
with a cable modem and connected to the internet with DHCPcd. The network
does not work any more.
If I do not start dhcpcd, networking is OK. Once dhcpcd starts, the IP and
name of the linux box are changed. It can not access any other machine in
the network, and other machines cannot connect it either.
I setup another machine as DNS, but cannot solve the problem. Again, once
dhcpcd starts, this machine is isolated from the network.
How can I use the DHCP box as a gateway to the internet for the network?
Please help.
Thank you for any help.

For halfway recent cards (read PCI) the address overlap is taken
care of. (Would you REALLY want to put a NIC on ISA? Get real!)
The interrupt sharing is either a really good or a really bad
idea, since some drivers actually work best with all of the devices
on a common interrupt and some fail utterly.
The main subtlety is that the driver needs to match each NIC
uniquely to the eth? identifier, and the standard way to do
that is to use the GUID. Every Ethernet card MUST have a unique
48-bit identifier, usually put in a ROM on the card. If you watch
your system come up the NIC driver will announce the ID as it
detects the card. Boot twice -- once with each card -- and record
the ID for each. (Or, you may be able to get it from /proc/pci)
Then edit the /etc/conf.modules to attach the GUID to the /dev/eth?

For what it is worth, I have a Dell XPS R450 running Redhat 5.2 with a 3c509B
and 3c905B-TX Before setting up the
cards, I upgraded to the 2.0.36 kernel which has improved support for the
3c905B-TX. I turned off PNP for the 3c509B, using the 3Com utility that is
included with the driver disks.
You should be able to setup the cards in /etc/conf.modules as follows:
alias eth0 3c59x
alias eth1 3c509
This configuration assumes you are using the default irq and memory. I am
not sure whether autodetection might affect the order by which the kernel
recognizes and configures eth0 and eth1 -- but that this setup works, loading
the 3c905B-TX first on eth0. Also, note that a different driver is specified
for each card -- the 3c509B uses the 3c509 driver and the 3c905B-TX uses the
3c59x driver. My actual setup is a little different because I have
configured the 3c509B to use irq 5. Of course, you also need to configure
the IP address, routing, DNS, etc. for each interface using Redhat Control
Panel or by editing configuration files directly.
Also, see this HOWTO for detailed help:

I would much much rather use AT&F and then a specific required series of

Definitely Strongly Unconditionally Enthusiatically agree. Use mgetty if

I've gotten this in other programs (XISP, I believe). IIRC, the solution
is simply to include the -lcrypt parameter to your linking command line
(say by adding it to a LIBS line in your Makefile). The libcrypt library,
on my Red Hat 5.2 system, is part of the glibc package.

Date: Fri, 02 Apr 1999 14:31:52 GMT
Hello all!
Well, here I am, playing with Red Hat...
I'm attempting to mount a shared NTFS folder on a Linux Box:
The NT Box with the share is named DEC2, (192.168.0.3) and is a
member of the Workgroup "FOXCO"
The NT Share, (visible on other NT boxes on the network), is named
"Util" and has permissions granted to "Everyone"
The Linux Box is named LINUX, (192.168.0.10)
They can ping each other and HTTP from LINUX to DEC2 works, so we are
clearly connected.
I have created the destination directory of "/mnt/dec2_windows" on
LINUX
In /etc/smb.conf, I have set the Workgroup as FOXCO and un-commented
the line.
I type "smbmount //DEC2/Util /mnt/dec2_windows -n" (No quotes, of
course!)
Smbmount returns "mount error: Invalid Argument"
I've typed it in all different cases. (for the last two hours <G>)
The HOSTS file on LINUX:
127.0.0.1 Localhost
192.168.0.10 LINUX
192.168.0.3 DEC2
There is no Fully Qualified Domain name.. (is this my problem??)

What is the latest version of KDE? When you look for
distribution-specific packages they tend to be relatively old. For instance, I
think the latest RedHat RPMs of KDE are 1.1-3, whereas you can get 'generic'
KDE parts in 1.1-6 or so.
