First, just wanted to let you know, don't worry about offending me
with any suggestions =)... Is there anything other than just the ftp
rpm that I need?
~> rpm -q ftp
ftp-0.10-3
Plus I am assuming that since i can ftp to localhost that the ftp
client itself works... so i am thinking it is something else, but i
don't know enough about linux to know what to look at..
Also, when I try to use ncftp instead of ftp I get the same errors:
Trying to connect to metalab.unc.edu...
Error: Could not connect to metalab.unc.edu.
Reason: Connection refused
thanks,
Dennis

At a guess you are running a 2.2.x kernel? You need to replace
ipfwadm with ipchains - which is in the kernel documentation.
The "duplicate" routes aren't but route doesn't display all the
details so you can't tell the difference. The second route exists
because 2.2 kernels create routes automatically when interfaces
are configured. *Normally* it won't cause a problem for most
people. You won't find it documented anywhere either. And, no,
it isn't my fault :-).

Nothing wron with that solution. I have the same one except I have a Shiva
router (less expensive).
You could actually let all the PC's on your LAN route to the Linux box, let
the Linux box do masquerading (NAT) and perhaps firewalling and let your
Linux box yout to the cisco. The cisco is setup on a diferent network so
your Linux box has 2 network cards. 1 for the local net and the other for
the cisco. this is even morte secure, but since you work with dial on
demand the chances that you network will be monitor are very small. Surely
when you don not have protforwarding enabled on your cisco.

I have been noticing lately that my downloads are suspended while the

What does this indicate about my PPP setup? Is there something that I

Linux.
My system is:

I think your Cisco does NAT?
Well if the cisco is a 1603 and with some extra software installes "The ISP
pack" or something. Than your cisco is able to do portforwarding. I don't know
if you have incomming traffic right now. Mostly you only get 1 IP address of
your provider and that is the address of your ISDN/BRI. You probably don';t
have any IP addresses behind the router that are Internet compliant. So your
router must do the first portforwarding actions. When that is done you can
either forqrd all ports to your linuxbox and do some firewall checks and then
forward them to any other host behind you linux box.
But you cisco is the first one that has to do portforwarding. Wich Cisco do you
use???
If you like linux to do ptortforwarding then I advise you to use rinetd this is
the best at this moment.

You might want to look into installing netatalk on the Linux box. This
will let Linux "talk" AppleTalk, the Mac's native networking language.
You could then shut down the SMB services entirely (assuming they're not
being used by other machines).

Route doesn't show network cards, it show's routes (what's in a name?). You've
just got two routes over eth0, while you could easely have a dozen routes over
eth0.
Maybe you've upgraded to kernel 2.2, this kernel automatically creates a route
when an ethernet device is configured with ifconfig. When you still use your
old initscripts, the route is set again by the scripts. ipfwadm also doesn't
work anymore with kernel 2.2, use ipchains.
If you're running kernel 2.0, you probably haven't compiled in the ip
firewall, so just recompile your kernel with the right options.

Michael,
I'd recommend to download the kernel source codes from Redhat's FTP server
rather than using the original package on REDHAT 5.2 which is a pre-release
(2.0.36-0.7). Note that the kernel sources reside in the binary (i. e. RPM)
rather than the source code (i. e. SRPM) directories of the REDHAT 5.2 UPDATE
directory tree. You'll also need the 2.0.36 kernel header file package.
I haven't had any problems installing these packages intu /usr/src/linux.
It was the default directory for GLINT.
Nor was compiling a problem.
Best regards,
Michael

You can change it in your registry or search for a program called "MTUSPEED".

X-Win32 works great for me, but my demo version is limited to one
running instance per local network.
You can also try XWin Pro (http://www.labf.com/) but the demo versions
requires you to reload the system every 20 minutes
By the way, just to be pedantic : you are actually looking for an X
SERVER for windows (the clients are the remote applications you run
on unix).
