Here's the config. Linux RedHat 5.2 with ppp 2.3.5 patched into the
kernel
ppp.o is a module
I can dial, handle the MSCHAP authentication fine, and the IP
asssignments, but at the
end of the negotiation, the modem hangs up...
I'm confident I've got the chat script and the CHAP negotiations
working, but something @ the
end is broken eh!
I'm stumped! Please help eh!

Subject: Advice on Linux as internet gateway

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I will be switching to ADSL service here at the end of the month when it
becomes available in my area. I have several computers at home and I
would like to network them and use a dedicated machine to provide
internet access. I will be networking four pentiums (running win95/98)
and I would like to use a 486dx2-66 I have as the dedicated machine.
Is it possible to configure Linux to act satisfactorily as an internet
gateway on a 486? (Or am I shooting myself in the foot?) Also, is a
particular flavor of Linux better suited to this task than another?
Although I'm pretty competent working with tcp/ip networks on windows
machines, I'm pretty inexperienced with Linux and Unix systems in
general so the most user-friendly recommendations would be appreciated.
:)
As far as hardware is concerned, is there anything I should avoid or be
leary of? I have been planning on setting up a 100mb UTP ethernet with
generic NE2000 NICs and a simple hub.
If there are any links or other sources of information you can point me
to, I'd appreciate it.

This is what I do. I have an old 486/66 running RH 5.2 which serves as the
gateway for fifty Windows PCs. I also have another old 486 in front of that
one with RH 5.2 configured as a firewall, and I'd suggest that you do the
same. The last thing you want to do is to open up your whole internal
network to the world without adequate protection.

This question may have already been asked, several times, but after
looking around for references to it, I haven't been able to find many
answers.
In running a small network at home, 4 machines, all on the same network,
would it have been better to picked the 'Server' option during install?
(The other 3 boxes are win '95).

I have a one way cable modem installed and working on my Linux box. It was
a pain to get working but it works like a champ now. Mine is an internal
card made by General Instruments. A guy a found on the web wrote a driver
for the board for linux and it works fine. If you don't have a driver you
will have a hard time getting it to work, Unless it is external and connects
through a NIC. You should have no problem then.

I have a 3c509b that is loaded as a module. The driver wouldn't work when I
set the io address on the "options" line in /etc/conf.modules. Once I
stopped specifying the io address, it worked fine. BTW, my card sometimes
says "failed" when starting DHCP, but is still able to connect to my ISP
through my cable modem. I wonder if the "failed" is just a timeout on the
first try of setting the address, gateway, etc?

Hello Linux fans - I've got a weird question for you all - if anybody could
help I'd really appreciate it. I've got RADSL coming from US West and though
the line isn't totally setup yet, the US West techs and I can't get any
activity to register from the linux box.
I plug in the crossover ethernet cable, and tell Linux my static IP's. Get
link lights on the cisco, but I can't get any activity to register when I
ping out, but from Win98 I can. (No responses, but there's communication
between the cisco and the ethernet card.) I had success with a 3com 905
10/100 card, but I still can't get any activity between either an Intel
Pro/100B PCI or Intel Pro/10+ ISA. Both cards work fine, it seems to be
something to do with Linux and the crossover cable. (Though I get link
lights on both ends, I can't generate any activity.)
Can anyone help me out here? I'm at my wits end..
Thanks,
Jake Kruse
P.S. Could you CC any replies to my email? THanks!

Subject: Netscape can't mail, Redhat 5.2 with Kernel 2.2.3
Date: 16 Mar 1999 03:11:14 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Paul Tomblin)
I've got a new machine, but I've been running Linux since 1992, so this isn't
exactly new stuff for me.
The new machine is all set up and running just great, except when I use a
"mailto" link in Netscape. Any attempt to send email in Netscape hangs,
badly. Can't kill it with anything less than "-9", and if I don't kill it
quick, it kills my xdm session leaving zombies. My .netscape directory is
identical to when I used a 486 instead - as a matter of fact the home
directory is NFS mounted from the same server as before, so nothing has
changed. The only things that have really changed is that this new machine is
running RedHat 5.2 with kernel 2.2.3, instead of RedHat 5.1 and kernel 2.0.36
on my old machine.
When I kill off the hung netscape, I see the following in the maillog on the
mail server machine:
Mar 15 21:24:07 canoe sendmail[19976]: VAA19976: collect: premature EOM: Error 0
Mar 15 21:24:07 canoe sendmail[19976]: VAA19976: collect: unexpected close on co
nnection from stratus.xcski.com, sender=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Error 0
Mar 15 21:24:07 canoe sendmail[19976]: VAA19976: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size
=0, class=0, pri=0, nrcpts=1, proto=ESMTP, relay=stratus.xcski.com [192.168.1.7]
So it appears as if the problem occurs while trying to FETCH mail instead of
send it, but I've verified that I can fetch the mail using fetchmail. I can
send mail just fine using mutt, or by telnetting directly to the mail server.
I'm totally baffled by why Netscape is so screwed up. I've gone back to using
Netscape Navigator 4.08 (without the "Communicator" options) so that there
won't be any chance of me attempting to send mail within Netscape.

Different cookies. These aren't http cookies, but lower in the
stack. There's a denial of service attack called a SYN flood. This
attack can be defended against by having the IP stack send a cookie
rather than hold the connect request open. There are valid uses for
the SYN bit and you will accasionaly see the message if you have SYN
cookies compiled in the kernel. If you don't have SYN cookies compiled
in and you get a SYN flood you're networking will be unusable untill
the flood is over.
here's a description of one of the early syncookie patches.

I'm doing this with US West's DSL and a 486-33. I'm using
slackware. There's a link off my homepage documenting what I did. It's
mostly just links to various howto's. I've a friend who did the same
thing with Red Hat, so the distribution doesn't make that big a
difference on what can be done. The linux router project is also
starting to get interesting.

You use PPP. :-)
The ISDN line card should just be another device to Linux, which can be
accessed the same way as /dev/ttyS0 or /ttyS1 would be for a dial out
modem.
There's a pretty good how-to provided with most distributions - have a
look for it.

Add something like this to your /etc/inetd.conf file:
194 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd
(Replace '194' with whichever port you want to use.)
And don't forget to 'kill -HUP' your inetd before trying it out.
I've tried this with as many as 20 different ports simultaneously. I'm not
sure what sort of limits there are in inetd save for system resource
limitations.
Some folks may suggest that hacking up /etc/services as well could be
arguably cleaner.
