Any ideas?

Since it's not saying "Connection Refused" the daemon must be running..
Are /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny set up properly to allow the
machine you are telneting from access to the linux box? Also if you're
not running DNS, make sure you put the IP of the machine you are
connecting *from* in /etc/hosts on the linux box, though this is not
related to your problem atm, it might matter later.

Subject: Re: Firewall 64 Ip's
Date: Wed, 07 Apr 1999 16:16:14 +0100
ADreier
One suggestion is to put 2 interface cards in the linux firewall and
rather than splitting the 64 ips into two 32, you use up just one more
IP address for the new card. (all on the same network)
Make the first interface (eth0) the external interface of the
firewall/linux box. (part of your DMZ) ext-fw-eth0.domain.net and set the
default route destination for that card your cisco router. you should be
able to ping the router from the linux box and visa versa. ( you might
need to use the -host option )
now make the second interface (eth1) your internal lan interface and
configure that interface so that its default route is the first
interface ( your external fw interface eth0) Now you can manipulate your
firewall's rules using the two interfaces. (if you want to add a
webserver and ftp site in your DMZ, it might be better to split the
network into to 32 but you'll loose an extra 2 ip addresses in your
second subnet.
I'd go for the two subnets personally as you'll have two physical
networks, rather than one, keeping your networks seperate. The above
configuration can be used, but you'll be using two seperate nets rather
than two ips on the same lan, but you can set that up using your network
scripts on startup /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 on slakware and
/etc/sysconfig/network & /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX
Take a look at the ipfwadm command. you might need to recompile your
kernel for ip firewalling etc.
Hope this helps.

If you go the the HP site you should find the JetDirect utility to configure
your printer. More easily you can configure your printer from ther printer
buttons on the front.
Go into "Config Network" yes
"Configure TCP/IP" yes
then set ip1, ip2, ip3, ip4 and the subnet mask and the router

Assuming the box you mentioned is one that supports tcp/ip you just
need access to a network windows machine for a few minutes to reprogram
it. I have a J2593A. It only took a few minutes under windows to
reprogram it. Barring problems I should never need to use windows
with it again. - Ron S

In the " sendmail.cf " file, it calls out as a default file,
"/etc/service.switch". I believe that this was origionally compiled
in, but can probably be changed.
Just to get the mail between 2 networked computers going,
create the file "service.switch" in the /etc directory.
put in only:
hosts files
This tells sendmail to look in the default hosts file /etc/hosts,
for hosts on the network. In the hosts file put the host name
and ip.
I would like to set up a DNS for my two systems, to direct
the mail, but I am not sure how to set it up, even after
reading the DNS-HOWTO . I am not sure how to make the DNS
recognize a local network. I thought that DNS just looks out
over the WEB to find Domains available through the internet,
going through the top level servers downward to find the complete
domain name.

David, I'm no guru on the Samba side of things (indeed I'm lurking on
this NG to find out more about it!) but what you describe is a common
enough problem just with a standard Win9x/NT network...
Generally when this occurs I've found the issue lies with the network
domain name (workgroup), sometimes with something as simple as a
captial letter where it should be lower case etc - they need to be
identical between all machines. Additionally the nw protocol should be
the same (obviously!) but preferably have just the protocol loaded in
W9x that you are using and nothing else.
I'd be interested if any of this helps.
Cheers, Luke.

Read the Encryption.txt in the textdocs directory. It will tell you everything
you need to know. NT and 98 use encrypted passwords by default. Also, upgrade to
the latest version of SAMBA if you have not done so already.
Also, once you get everything setup don't for get to enable your users:

Is'nt that what you would get when using smbclient. So, I think your
smbmount might be a link to smbclient. This would mean //maria/a is
taken as the share and ~/a/ as the password, which will be ignored
because security level is share.

Date: 7 Apr 1999 16:08:18 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I and two other people cannot load the plip module into kernel 2.2.5. The
message that we receive is:
/lib/modules/2.2.5/net/plip.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
Parallel support and parallel PC_hardware are compiled in. Parallel printer
support is either not compiled into the kernel or compiled as a module but
not loaded into the kernel. Because the type of error message listed above
can be produced when IRQ conflicts occur, I have tried the io and irq
options to modprobe and insmod, and I have received the error that
the option is unknown. (The plip module loads and PLIP works just fine
under kernel 2.0.36)
All three machines are stock Red Hat 5.2 machines differing in hardware
conifguration and running modprobe from modutils-2.1.85. I have also tried
modutils-2.1.121 without success. We are using kmod rather than kerneld.
Other modules seem to load well and work well.
Are we doing something wrong with 2.2.5, or is there a bug?
Thanks,
Dick

Check /etc/host.conf and make sure that it says "order hosts bind" and
not "order bind hosts" otherwise it will try DNS before the hosts file.
Also since it's not connected you should stop named running if it is,
(Try /etc/rc.d/init.d/named stop) to stop lock-ups through DNS queries.
Also, don't forget the trailing / after localhost - ie
http://localhost/ and not http://localhost
otherwise the web server replies "I can't find the page at
http://localhost I'll try looking for it with a "/" and it then looks
under http://fullyqualifieddomainname/ instead." It then can't find
you're fully qualified domain name, probably because it doesn't relate
to an IP address and everything locks up. But with the trailing slash it
should find the index page no problem.

It shouldn't return "network unreachable". If you're using the "lo"
interface, do you have some sort of route defined? Maybe you could use
the "dummy" device to give yourself an IP address.

I fought with IP Tunnelling for a few days and gave up. Being that I don't
want to install 2.2.x on my production machine, which is where I'm
tunnelling to, I ended up using vtun (newer version of VPPP). It is
actually a lot better, since it sets up as client/server, and the server
does not need to know the client's IP address (as is required with the
tunnel modules) so it's very easy to automate (not to mention it supports
persistant reconnecting).
2.2.x users have better options, although I can't remember any names. There
are several packages that use the new ethertap devices (in fact, VTUN
supports the Ethertap device).
Check out Freshmeat for more info.

I just installed LinuxPPC (Red Hat) and can't seem to figure out how to set
it up to use the ethernet network that I'm on. I can't find anything
related to tcp/ip. what am I missing?
please send response to [EMAIL PROTECTED] as well
thanks

Does anyone know of a method or a utility to create a duplicate xterm
window on a remote machine of a process running in an xterm on a local
machine such that both the local and remote machine display the same
information and allow keyboard input to the running process from either
the local or remote machine.
It would be most useful if the remote machine could be attached and
detached without disturbing the process on the local machine.

Subject: Re: Help Please: Linux 2.2.5 and BT Speedway ISDN (honestly new
Date: Tue, 06 Apr 1999 22:08:04 +0000
Like Seyed I'm struggling a little with getting connected using a Speedway
but it's nice to know that it can be done. The card works ok under windows.
1) How do I find out the irq settings of the card? - isapnp just gives the
sound card (but then it's isa and the speedway is pci)
2) I then recompile the kernal, (at the moment it is standard RH 5.2)
building the hisax drivers in as modules. Is this correct?
