Subject: ppp-on connects, but no routing
Date: Mon, 4 Jan 1999 01:09:57 -0500
I have managed to make my RH5.2 installation dial and connect to my ISP
finally. But the connection is not working. I just can't reach any remote
site.
When I ping myself on my 'inet addr' from "ifconfig", everything's fine Ping
the server at its IP doesn't work at all...
Here are printouts of "ifconfig" and "netstat -nr" commands:

I had a similiar problem playing around with my Palm III and Linux. Are
you running RedHat 5.2? I found that I needed to enable IP forwarding
using the netcfg control panel. Also make sure your kernel allows IP
forwarding. You can loose the defaultroute option to pppd.

Help -
I'm having a devil of a time with dial-up at the command line level.
All works okay with kde's setup but I need to know how it all fits
together as eventually I want to set up a masquerading machine (old
pentium 90 cast off from the office) that will have only a temporary
character monitor.
Anyway, I've changed a few things in the network-scripts subdirectory on
RH5.2, but now I cannot start up minicom either logged in as root or
another user. The file is present in /usr/bin. Any ideas as to why it
suddenly stopped working. Yes I have rights to execute both as root and
the other user.

Hi,
I am getting 'eth0: Set Rx mode to 1 addresses' message four
times when I try to bring up my interface eth0 using ifconfig.
I am using Redhat 5.1 and Intel Etherexpress Prp/10+ as network
adapter card.
Have your ever seen this message before ? My network card is not
working. I am just wondering if this could be the reason.
Thanks for the help.

Subject: Re: ftp datastream sometimes failing
Date: 4 Jan 1999 06:30:34 GMT
Just to add my voice to this one...
I just upgraded to RH 5.2 from RH 5.0 on a box in my house that I use
as a server. I've a Win98 machine on the LAN as well. Connection to
the net is via a 56K modem on the server, which forwards & firewalls
for the LAN. using either the Linux box or the Win98 box, ftp
downloads timeout repeatedly on a few particular files (all happen to
be > 1.5 MB). These timeouts appear to occur at about the same point
in the download. Strangely, other large files in the download (both
before and after the failures) come across without a problem. In my
case, I'm trying to get the latest RedHat updates, so I have the
luxury of having several mirror sites from which to choose.
Unfortunately, the problem files won't download from any of these
sites. I downloading them to my ISP first, then tried to get them
home; no joy. In addition, I have tried to get one of the files via
an HTTP connection with the same problem.
We have a RedHat 5.2 box at work acting as a server which has on at
least one occasion given me the same problem; at the time I surmised
that it was a problem on the ftp server end. I don't ever recall
having this problem under RH 5.0.
Please inform me of anything you come up with on this one, I'll do the
same for you.

I would try Slackware. It's ppp setup is all command line driven
#pppconfig
and all you have to do is uncomment a few lines in rc.serial and
rc.modules and you have IP masquerading working. You can get a copy

Yeah with broken libs and everything else... i couldnt take redhat
anymore, so i cut over to slakware, at least in slakware everything is
not /done/ for you so you actually learn something, and can take /full/
control of the system... when you have to boot into x-windows to add a
user (slakware comes with a script as part of /shadow/ passwords *which
redhat doesnt have) something is seriously wrong...
redhat is a nice distro to place on an array of machines (ie: a computer
lab) cause all the little stuff is done for you... but if you need a
development server, redhat is not the answer... sorry i dunno if this
was out of place but, i had to vent some of the anger and wasted time i
have spent trying to get redhat linux to work...
this weekend i finally moved the production machine over to slakware,
with no visible user impact... welp, well see on monday if users begin
to have trouble, whether or not that last statement is true, but i have
had a couple of blokes test it out at work doing the normal user
stuff...
cheers,
elmo

Date: Mon, 04 Jan 1999 05:45:47 GMT
Hello Linux World!
I am having a problem routing IP packets from my private network to my
firewall network. The router is a multi-homed RH 5.2 machine. The
firewall machine is RH 5.2 with diald. When I ping the IP address of the
firewall from the private network, no problem. When I ping an address that
is outside the private network address range the packets don't get accross
the router. I have the ipfwadm command set up in my /etc/rc.d/local file to
masquerade packets from the pivate network. I am fairly new to Linux and I
am probably missing something really simple. Does anyone have any advice?
Please reply with an e-mail message as I won't be able to get back to the

Hi,
I am a newbie in trouble. Please help me....
I have 2 machines on a local system. One is a Linux RH 5.2 machine and
one
is a windows NT server 4.0 . Currently I am trying to get my linux
machine
to act as a mailserver. But it doesn't go to well. My linux machine is
called www.mainframe.nl (No, it is not a mainframe). So far, the only
thing that worked is sending internal e-mail messages. For example from
'root' to a 'user' and visa versa and I can pop messages from my NT
machine from any user and read the message I have send from 'root' to a
'user' or visa versa. But when I try to send a message from my NT
machine
to my linux machine it never arrives.
Response when I send to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The message could not be sent because one of the recipient was rejected
by
the server. The rejected email address was [EMAIL PROTECTED] subject""
account:"www", server"www" Protocal SMTP, Server response: 551
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ... we do not relay", port 25 , secure(SSL):no,
server error 551, error number: 0x800CCC79
Response when I send to:root@www or [EMAIL PROTECTED] is send but
never arrives on the Linux machine.
When I try to send a e-mail message from a external machine, a machine
not
on the intranet, I always get the same bounced response:

You should edit your .fetchmailrc file in your homedir.
Mine looks like this:
poll <mailserver.isp.com> proto pop3 user <username>, with password <passwd>
is <username on local linux box> here;
The .fetchmailrc file must have permisson 600.
When using a dialup connection to the net, you should also masquerade your
outgoing mail with your official email at your ISP, in order to receive mail
properly. Normally your local hostname will not be an official hostname on the
internet which people can send emails to.
I edited my /etc/sendmail.cf file with these options:
# who I masquerade as (null for no masquerading) (see also $=M)
DM<your.isp.mail.hostname.com>
Dj<your.isp.mail.hostname.com>
It might also be clever to relay all your outbound mail through your ISP's
mailserver, instead of letting your local sendmail daemon doing all delivery
jobs.
Just edit your /etc/sendmail.cf like this:
# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DS<your.isp.mail.server.com>
This will place all out outgoing mail on queue at your isp, hopefully saving
you some time online.
This configuration works allright for me.
Good luck.
