I prefer using the diald package. Others probably prefer installing
a newer version of the ppp demon which supports on-demand-dialing.
I have a three computer network. A 486 running Slackware, a 586 running
Windows 95, and a Sun Sparc 20 running Solaris. The Linux machine has
the diald package running on it.
If you get the diald package, be sure and also get the patch which
upgrades it to version 0.16.5. I think people have had trouble
compiling just the 0.16 version.
If you are running Samba, I have seen others mention that Samba network
traffic will bring up the connection. I have not had this problem.
At least with diald, I think you can filter some of this stuff out
if needed to keep the link to your ISP from coming up.
The other thing you may or may not have problems with is when sending
email. I had to do some modifying to my /etc/sendmail.conf file
to get sendmail on the Linux machine to queue the email on the Linux
machine. When my link to the ISP comes up, that's when I send the
email. I didn't want the link to come up everytime I sent out an
email from Eudora on the Windows machine.
Another package to look at might be the dialmon package. It runs a demon
on the Linux machine that monitors the diald demon. There is a client
program that is included that runs on Windows 95 and Windows 3.1. You
can then use this program to bring up and then take down the link to
your ISP.
Another way of doing the same think is to install an Xwindow server
on your Windows 95 machines. You can then run the dctrl script included
with the diald package. I think you need to have tcl/tk installed on
your Linux machine for this script to run.
I'm like you, I did this so that my family didn't have to interface with
the Linux machine. When they wants to surf, all they need to do is start
up Netscape on the Windows 95 machine and the link comes up.

Hi,
I set up demand ppp the other day with the newest ppp 2.3.5 and kernel 2.0.36.
It took a little bit of tweaking. Basically what you need to do is:
1) make sure you have a ppp kernel module thats 2.3.5 and supports
the 'demand' option. It seems that some of the newer distributions
somehow have the 2.3.5 deamon but the 2.2.0 module (I did).
2) also, the 'make kernel' of the 2.3.5 pppd source incorrectly chooses not
to replace ppp.c because of file dates of kernel 2.0.36.
So I did that by hand.
3) Now ppp.c brings you to the free(skb) declaration error. To compile, it
must be changed to the two-parameter version of the macro.
(Unfortunately I don't have any sources or the configuration I made
right now but memory serves me)
Once everything is compiled and the correct module is loaded
4) get your pppd working like you normally would and then add the options
'demand idle 600 holdoff 5 ipcp-accept-local ipcp-accept-remote \
192.168.1.20:192.168.1.40'
Notice the bogus ip address provided and the ipcp-accept's.
I recall this is desired for the below fix to work.
So, in order to prevent (alleviate) the problem of
the first packet getting lost when it triggers pppd to dial...
'echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr'
in an rc.script or something seems to do the trick.
Hope this helps,
Dave

Is there a good way to use the sendmail configuration, or change it,
included in the Red Hat install. Now that I have my system up and
running, and am appreciative of all that Linux has to offer, I am left
wondering what would be a good way to let sendmail know that it does not
have a permanent connection to a network. I dial up through an IBM
global PPP script and therefore do not leave the computer connected at
all times. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good HOWTO for
this?? Your help already is and will be much appreciated. Linux/Unix

You want to specify the sub-networks here not the actuall IP addresses as

So, you've setup /etc/host.conf, /etc/nsswitch.com, /etc/hosts, and
/etc/resolv.conf? This will handle your resolution clients like nslookup.
Did you setup a caching only DNS or is it going to be authoritative for
a domain?

Subject: Problems with LAN Ping
Date: 03 Jan 1999 13:44:31 -0500
Hey ho.
I'm new to networking, so I may not include all of the relevant
details.
I have two Linux boxes (Slackware, with kernels 2.0.27 and 2.0.36),
and just installed a couple of 3Com 509 cards. I use the standard
ifconfig and routing commands, and everything looks okay when I check
the ifconfig and route outputs.
My addresses are 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2.
When I ping 10.0.0.2 from 10.0.0.1, I get a huge number of dropped
packets (often 100%). tcpdump on 10.0.0.1 shows the echo request
being sent from 10.0.0.1 and tcpdump on 10.0.0.2 shows the request has
been received, but no reply echoed.
On the other hand, if I ping 10.0.0.1 from 10.0.0.2, tcpdump shows
that each request has been sent and replied to (each machine's tcpdump
confirms this). The output from ping, on the other hand, shows that
half the replies are duplicates and the other half never arrive (could
this be some sort of parity problem?).
The problem is apparently in 10.0.0.2, it seems to me. There is some
more evidence of this. I booted 10.0.0.2 to Win95 (it's a dual boot)
and tried ping there. Everything works nicely when 10.0.0.2 is
running Win95.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't know where to begin to
look. I do know that it is unnatural for Win95 to work when Linux
doesn't. Something odd there, huh?
Please send a courtesy email copy with any replies.

If the two networks speak different languages or you want to limit access
between the two networks, build a gateway/firewall. If you simply want to
connect the two networks together, create a simple router.

If you're looking for a command it's probably easier and faster to consult the
manual pages. You could also execute every command in /bin and /usr/bin but
don't do that as root!
So to find a command to return the free disk space you use "apropos" and get:
$ apropos space
df (1) - summarize free disk space
expand (1) - convert tabs to spaces
.
.
.
There ya go it's df.
Note that you need to run makewhatis first before apropos will work. On a
RedHat system there's a cron job that will run this command every week. You
can just execute the script /etc/cron.weekly/makewhatis.cron to do this
manually.

Date: Sun, 03 Jan 1999 20:57:52 GMT
I recently installed the Debian 2_0 dist. on a P90, I
dual boot w/Win98. My 3C509 was working perfectly in
Win98, and also works in Linux, but after booting Linux,
and then back to Win98, the network card will not work
(shows up broken in the device manager). I need to run
the 3C5x9 set-up from Win98 to get the card working again.
Apparently, something about the Linux driver or the way it
is being loaded alters the card and causes the Win98 driver
to fail. In Linux, the correct I/O address and IRQ are
reported by cat /proc/ioports and cat /proc/interrupts. Even
after running the 3C5x9 set-up program, Win98 doesn't report
any IRQ for my card and under system resources, it shows IRQ 10
being used by an unknown device (my 3C509 is using it). Anyone
know about any conflicts or fixes for this apparent conflict?

Sorry to followup to my own message, but there is an additional
symptom.
When 10.0.0.2 pings 10.0.0.1, as I said previously, the output from
ping shows that half the pings are dropped, while half are
duplicated. In fact, it is the odd-numbered messages dropped while
the even-numbered are duplicated. Also, the time of the return trip
is ridiculously large -- about 65536067 ms. Of course, the actual
time is nearly instantaneous.
Again, tcpdump shows that the requests and replies are what one
expects: immediately after each request is one reply. tcpdump reports
this when run on either 10.0.0.1 or 10.0.0.2.
Thanks.

pppd: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/modem
pppd: Remote message:
pppd: local IP address <xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx> (varies)
pppd: remote IP address <xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx> (varies)
modprobe: no dependency information for module: "dev/modem"
I can't see from the pppd documentation where modprobe is involved.
I am able to ping the server, the DNS server, and other IP addresses, but
when I try to use a URL I get "no DNS entry for <URL>", in other words, the
DNS is not fully accessible.
Any ideas/clues greatly appreciated!

The other thing that I found out recently is that using tab completion will put
the quotation marks there for you. Later.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ DO NOT EXIST As such in any i386 Redhat distro.
I didn't see the original post, so I don't know what Vincent is trying
to do, but the files He is looking for, (except for /etc/resolv.conf,
which should be there) are in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ .
They are: inet, nfs, nfsfs.
Hope this helps.

actually you don;t need the dot
just hosts will work correctly :)
