Wrong, look at the script. It is either :0.0 or <ip_address>:0.0 for
remote X.

Follow the other suggestions to get ip masquerading working. Ping will not
work from the internal network to the outside world. :( Be sure that the
machines on the internal network are NOT set up to access the internet
through a proxy server. IP masquerading is NOT a proxy. From the viewpoint
of the machines on the internal network, they think they are directly
connected to the internet. Some protocols require running additional
modules since they are not standard IP connections. A couple of these are
FTP (requires ip_masq_ftp) and CUSEEME (requires ip_masq_?????)

In case the modem is an internal, does linux see the extra serial port? My
guess would be the portsettings are incorrect. I know everyone says Linux
doesn't use BIOS but I always setup the onboard ports to COM1&3 or disable
them. Otherwise they will conflict with internal modems. If it is an
external modem set the ports in BIOS to something your mouse and internal
modem is NOT using. Never use com 2 and 4, and 1 and 3 together to avoid
problems. This may be not true by the books but it is in the real world.

Another thing, guys:
The message I get when ftp(even after ftpshut and reboot) is:
500 linux-box.local FTP server shut down - please try again later.
But in /etc/inetd.conf:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd -l -a
If I get rid of that -a option, and killall -HUP inetd, then
everything woks well. But would anyone wanna run without

Please help.

Het lijkt een routing probleem.
Hoe staat het met de routing:

Go with 10BaseT till you are ready to buy/build a real system--getting 10/100 or
100BaseTX ISA cards will much more expensive than upgrading your entire system
is worth, and will still be limited by the ISA bus, to a max transfer of about
25 Mbit/sec tops. And SCSI? If you have that much throw-away $$ then buy all
new systems? (I'm sure that you don't have a PCI 2.1 compliant 386 or 486
system! you will have problems with the newer PCI cards even if your 486 {or
386?} has PCI slots!!!)

My problems have been much worse than that. I've been screwing with the
new kernel for a week now. My 3c509b works fine with the 2.0.36 from
the rh5.2 install, but when i upgrade the kernel it won't initialize
eth0 anymore. I've tried all the normal things including reinstalling
everything several times, it just won't work. The only message i see
is one saying eth0 initialization delayed. Any suggestions?

Routing table should not matter for your setup (use "linuxconfig" to set up
the network card configuration info that Frank Hahn is setting up in the
routing table section of his rc.inet).
I'm assuming that you eventually want to use one of these machines to
connect to the internet and that you want to allow the other machine to
access the internet through this one as well. Assuming you want to use the
Windows machine to connect to the internet, don't supply a default gateway
for the Windows machine. It will get its default gateway from the ppp
connection. On the Linux box, set the default gateway to the IP address of
the Windows machine.
I am running RH5.2 kernel 2.0.36 and there is no file rc.inet An easy way
to make these settings would be to run "linuxconfig". It will put the IP
addressing entries in their appropriate places.
For the purpose of getting things working, you shouldn't need any hosts or
lmhosts file. Just use the IP numbers instead of the hostnames when doing
your pings.

Still haven't been able to connect to my ISP using PPP. After one month!!!
However, I now get more "reasonable" messages than the ones I was getting at

sends yet another couple of lines: 1) username's last login... 2) York
University TCP/IP... Now, it is after the second line here that the server
would expect me to type PPP at the prompt. When I do this in minicom,
however, the server terminates the link within 5 or 10 seconds. Anyhow, are
my scripts missing "send/expect" lines that would correspond to these lines?
If so, how do I go about configuring them? Any other ideas or suggestions?
Thanks very much.

Let me attempt to answer your good reply. First, I got most of the
commands from the HOWTO, Net3, so I just substituted my numbers for the
ones that were presented. Since you're the second person that brought up
the gateway address, may I ask, should that address be something else?
Like, the address of the Linux box?
Yes, the windows machine has a MODEM in it (which I didn't want to get
into yet!) Just today I took the 3Com509 out of the Linux box, and
replaced it with the same brand that is in the win '95 box.
And finally, if I've missed anything sorry but, I would like to say
thanks for including your "working" setup. That will be most helpful...
