Maybe a long shot but is there a switch between the server and the client?
Dhcpcd-0.70 has a bug in that the DHCPREQUEST packet is BOOTP rather than
DHCP. If there is a switch in between that has to be configured to relay
DHCP packets, it must also be configured to relay BOOTP packets for dhcpcd
on Linux to work.

Subject: New ISP in deep and dire with Redhat 5.2 -- NEED HELP
Date: Sun, 4 Apr 1999 20:32:23 -0500
We have a T-1 connection to the internet, a GTX router, and a
Livingston/Lucent Portmaster 3 with 48 internal modems. We are waiting for
two PRI's, but the T-1 is up. The router and the Portmaster are configured
and can ping UUNET's authentication servers and each other. We have two
Redhat 5.2 machines set up with 3com cards which cannot see or be seen. We
are newbies in awful deep, but fighting the need to go back to NT, which is
what we know. Advise was to run Linux and we are trying to do that--we want
to do that very much. We have configured and reconfigured until we are wore
out. Probably no big deal for the Linux pros out there. We thought we would
be able to find plenty of help, but the help is too often found with to many
"in-betweens" left out. We need to get this system up and running. If anyone
can help we would greatly appreciate the help. We have looked into hiring
UUNET consultants, but $2000.00 a day is awful steep.

In here there should be something to show how the login is being done.
As there isn't, we must assume it's not actually logging in at all.
Hence the LCP request will fail.
Chat scripts under Linux are a bit different from DOS/Win, where modem
messages are typically elided. In chat-ppp0, you need to give the
"expect" "send" pairs that will form the dialog pattern between your
machine and your ISP's machine, _including_ things like
'CONNECT' ''
'288800' ''
'ogin:--ogin:' 'myuserid'
'assword:' 'mypassword'
etc (or a PAP/CHAP challenge if that's what your ISP uses).

Subject: Strange RealAudio problem with IP masquerading
Date: Mon, 05 Apr 1999 01:58:34 GMT
Would appreciate any suggestions...
I have an RH5.2 (2.0.36) system running very nicely on a Compaq
Prolinea 486. It's set up to do IP masquerading to allow three other
machines to connect to the internet via a cable modem.
The problem is with RealAudio. ".ram" files that contain references
to pnm:// URLs -- I haven't found one that works yet, and I've found
many that don't (all the audio files on news.bbc.co.uk, for example).
They all give "Connection to server has timed out".
All other RealAudio files, including the channels on the main
RealAudio screen, seem to work just fine from the three client
machines (Win boxes) on the local class C network. (I've noticed
.ram files beginning with ftsp:// that work fine, for example.)
Here's the setup I have:
# 1. Kernel networking options:
CONFIG_FIREWALL=y
CONFIG_NET_ALIAS=y
CONFIG_INET=y
CONFIG_IP_FORWARD=y
CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST=y
CONFIG_SYN_COOKIES=y
CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL=y
CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL_VERBOSE=y
CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE=y
CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE_IPAUTOFW=y
CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE_ICMP=y
CONFIG_IP_ALWAYS_DEFRAG=y
CONFIG_IP_ACCT=y
CONFIG_IP_ROUTER=y
CONFIG_IP_NOSR=y
CONFIG_SKB_LARGE=y
# 2. /etc/rc.d/rc.local startup script:
/sbin/ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.1
/sbin/route add -net 192.168.1.0
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_raudio
/sbin/ipfwadm -F -p deny
/sbin/ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.1.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0
/sbin/ipautofw -F
/sbin/ipautofw -A -r udp 6970 7170 -c tcp 7070
# (I guess the ipautofw is not really necessary -- but I'm trying
# everything ... and yes, /sbin/ipautofw does exist...)
I'm not seeing anything in /var/log/messages that would indicate a
problem, and lsmod gives:
DEFAULT:[~] lsmod
Module Pages Used by
ip_masq_raudio 1 1
ip_masq_ftp 1 0
I don't know enough about what distinguishes pnm:// .ram files from
other kinds of RealAudio content to figure out why they're failing...
if anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate hearing them.
If you're replying by email, please remove the obvious from my
address.

Rohan

Subject: Samba 2.0.3 Installation
I'm running Red Hat 5.1. It's a production machine and I can't really
upgrade until I have another machine handy. At any rate, I've been
trying to get Samba running. It works and I see the server from
WinBlows 95 "Network Neighborhood". When I try to connect I get a
request for a password at the $IPC connection. I can't get past this.
I've done all the smbpassword, etc.
As a result it appears the next best step is to upgrade to Samba 2.0.3.
I did, with no problems (sort of). I did the ./configure, make and make
install. Now I'm stuck. The machine still wants to run the old Samba.
Somewhere I found a place to 'uninstall' and I did. I'm having trouble
having Samba start. I put the file 'smb' to run in /etc/rc.d/init.d.
It was the old one and wouldn't work. I also put the link in rc3.d so
it runs. I modified the 'smb' file heavily to point to my new Samba in:
/usr/local/samba/bin. I changed status to point to and run
'smbstatus'. Here are my problems:
1) Clearly this isn't set up right. It appears to run (how can I tell)
but 'smb status' fails. How can I tell if it's running. ( think it
is, see #3)
2) 'smbstatus' was looking for the smb.conf file in something like
/usr/local/samba/etc instead of the expected /etc. How can I fix this,
or should I?
3) I suspect Samba is running because I can see the Linux server from
the Winblows machine. I get the same $IPC password problem. Do I need
to recreate the smbpasswd file (or whatever it's name is)? It was
created under the old (shipped with RH5.1) Samba?
Thanks for any help. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well, I have several problems with setting up the Linux box as
the gateway. For one, the modem installed in the W95 machine is a USR
56K Winmodem, which the Linux machine won't recognize. I don't have
the money to buy another modem at the moment, so I am pretty much
stuck dialing out with the W95 machine. For another, I have a whole
two weeks of Linux experience under my belt, and it would probably
take me a week of messing with it to get it all straightened out and
working properly.
I do agree that the Linux machine would be an ideal gateway;
much faster and more efficient for sure....So, it looks like I will be
SOL for at least a while longer.

You can use /sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp as well.
You should create a separate file called rc.firewall in the /etc/rc.d
directory.
Set its ownership to: chown root.root /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall.
Set its permissions to: chmod 0754 /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall.
The file should look something like this:
==============================================================================
echo "Enabling IP MASQ, MASQ timeouts, MASQ modules and advanced
firewalling"
#Load the MASQ modules
#
echo Loading MASQ modules
#/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_cuseeme
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_irc
#/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_quake
#/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_vdolive
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_raudio
# Finished with MASQ modules
echo "Enabling IP Masqurading.."
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
/sbin/ipfwadm -F -p reject
/sbin/ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.1.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0 -W eth0
echo "rc.firewall done."

The first one will get you started.
The second one is a wealth of information and good sense.
The third one will build you one very secure firewall automatically if
you fill in the blanks :)
You should use the Linux Netscape to build, save and download the
firewall script, as I have found that saving the file in windows and
then moving it over to Linux trashes the file in some way as to make it
non functional :(
The last section of the firewall script includes stuff for DHCP and
caching DNS as well so you will have to edit the file.
Good luck!

Subject: PCMCIA Network Configuration
I've been struggling with getting my PCMCIA Network adapters working.
Toward that end I've installed the 2.2.3 kernel on top of Red Hat 5.2
and the latest PCMCIA drivers. My Ethernet adapter is working but is
logging errors indicating it that there is no high memory available and
some sort of Interrupt 5 error. I would expect that this can be
corrected by placing the proper statements in the /etc/pcmcia/config
and/or config.opts.
1) Where can I find documentation on configuring these files?

Almost, but not quite... your host name should be "cc240637" - check the

Ping under unix is different to windows, it continues until you Ctrl C it,
unlike Windows...
Could you surf the net even though you couldn't ping the default GW?
