Hello,

    I use RED HAT 5.1. My internal modem is "Fujitsu Fax Voice Modem 33600
PNP - 15R", I cann't find a HOWTO about install a internal modem.
    I often see a term "winmodem", whether all internal modem is "winmodem",
how to tell it?
    Does an external modem not need install?

                            Thank for you help.

do "gcc -v" to see your current version. I'm running 2.7.2.3, but I also have
2.9-redhat-d90810 from Cygnus' GNUPro Toolkit. The 2.7.2.3 is used to compile
the kernel.

I'm using RedHat 5.2 distributed kernel. This one already contains the
appropriate drivers for NE2000 compatible cards. On my computer, I've
two of these cards: an SMC Ezcard as yours and another third party
card. Both are working properly without tweaking any parameters in the
system. What remains for you is to configure the TCP/IP related
configs. Look in the NET3 Howto document for help.

It likely has nothing to do with your ppp setup but with you internet
service provider (ISP) or maybe the connections further "down the
wire" that are slow. It normally is faster at 4 am during my Internet
access.

You can try a different ISP if yours is really slow. Just my opinion.

Hope this helps. Best regards,

Subject: Re: MRTG for redhat
Date: Tue, 16 Mar 1999 18:57:40 -0800

     RedHat distributes the RPM with their "Power Tools" CD set.  It's also
available on their FTP site and mirrors in the "contrib" directory, and
presumably other sites have downloads as well.
     As far as a HOW-TO, the RPM is most of what you need for a standard
RedHat install assuming you have installed Apache.  It really is as turnkey
as MRTG gets.  Remember, RPMs are binary files.  There is no tarball to be
gunzipped or unarchived, no Makefile to edit and no compiler to run.  In
other words, totally unnecessary (and sometimes annoying) for the
development community, but insanely simple for the end-user.
     In the end, refer to the MRTG installation information, but use it only
for reference purposes to see what was done.  90% of the setup has been done
for you.
     The install basically consists of rpm -Uvh (or -i), running the
configuration script to set your router settings, enabling SNMP on your
router and openning the web browser to see the graphical results
(http://yourmachine/mrtg/).  You can also check you /etc/crontab file to
make sure that the RPM edited it correctly to update every five minutes, but
chances are that it did.

Why would you want to shut down your computer???????

Even at that Its not much different on an NT system, if you make a habit of not
sutting down properly you are sure to screw things up.    The point is Linux
competes with NT not 95.     Sure the installation manualls from Redhat fail to
point out how to do some things that people are use to doing in 95.     The
problem with this is that LINUX is NOT 95, nor is it VMS, nor MAC OS, nor OS/2,
nor Ultrix each of which requires a proper shutdown unigue to its platform.    A
good user with any respect for the hardware and software his system is developed
around would take the time to find out how to properly handle the basics.

In any event one of the best features of Linux is the command line environment
and the ability to set your system up to EXIT the graphical environment to the
command line.

Subject: Dialup, Linux, Windows, Networking Query
Date: Wed, 17 Mar 1999 04:04:04 +1100

I am hoping someone can help me with the following roblem I have.
(I think I may need Samba to complete the task)

At the momment I have a network consisting of
5 Windows '9x workstations
1 Linux Server with 2 modems

One of the modems is a perm connection to the Internet
The second I want to use as a dialup,

So from home on a Win9x machine I wish to dialup to my Linux Box at work,
from their I want to be able to both use the Internet, AND use access the
win9x workstation on the network.

I want to be able to access the win w/s's at work from my home dialup
computer as if I was in the office, able to browse drives with r/w access
via network neighborhood etc, (and probably print).

The operation on all win machines involved needs to be as simple as local
network access as it is now with no realy changes.

Can someone explain the best way to do this,

Any help on this matter would be very appriciated.

Regards

I just have to step on this one a moment...

Where did you learn computers??? Do you know what "hostid" is really, and
its use and implications??? Do you know about demons, zones, and domains????
I have one of probably 1628904823e4 host ID's on my server only because I
use the same IP as the ones stated in 3 different RFC's about internal
private networks...

Is this over your head yet???

You cannot identify my boxes, any of them, from any of the rest of them out
there in the world. Then there's the story about "Dynamic" IP's which opens
the doors and windows some more on this.... Wanna keep going with this??!!!

   As an amplification to that, might I suggest using the "-n" qualifier
to tcpdump so tcpdump, itself, won't be trying to do lookups.

   There are several solutions to the problem if it's DNS related.

   One option is to use DNS for your little local network and forego
the use of /etc/hosts. That's what I do with my LAN. (I also have
machines on my LAN which _can't_ use "hosts" files, so this was the
only chioce I had.)

   A second one is to make _positive_ that all the hosts on your LAN
are in the /etc/hosts file and /etc/nsswitch.conf has DNS listed
AFTER "files".

   A third, though this one has negative ramifications, is to configure
diald to ignore DNS packets. Do this, though, and you'll lose the
ability to bring the link up on a request for an outside site.
Definately sub-optimal.

   My personal choice would be to configure DNS and go with that. If
you place the DNS on your diald box (also masquerading, I assume),
you'll also get the benefits of cached DNS from the outside.

        I'm using RedHat 5.2 and am comfortable setting up IP
Forwarding using the netcfg tool in X Windows.  However, I'd like to
be able to accomplish the same thing via the command line.  I tried
editing /etc/sysconfig/network and set FORWARD_IPV4 to yes, however,
the box still would not route.  Are there other places that I must
make changes ?  Once the device driver for an ethernet card is
installed, what's the procedure for configuring the IP address etc.
for that Interface.  The only way that I know is to add the proper
ifconfig statements to the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file, but clearly, there
is another way, since after using X to accomplish the same thing,
rc.local is untouched.  Can someone point me in the right direction ?

I Have SuSe 6.0 I have used Yast to install ppp and suse ppp, I have set up

my internet provider. It seems I connect ok but am not able to connect to

netscape says:

"Warning: the following hosts are unknown:

This means that some or all the hosts will be unreachable.

Perhaps there is aproblem with your name server?
If your site must use a non-root name server, you will need to set the
$SOCKS_NS environment variable to point at the appropriate name server."


I have check for any setting of $SOCKS_NS and did not find anything.

Since I am using kppp I have also set the name server to my ISP

I am using a 56k modem to dial my ISP wirefire.com

Subject: Need strong ruleset ( rc.firewall ) script for IPCHAINS

I once downloaded and used a long (thorough) rc.firewall ruleset for
ipfwadm, which worked well on Caldera OpenLinux. But I needed DHCPcd, so had
to upgrade to RedHat, and went straight to kernel 2.2.3. I finally have the
networking up, but can't find a comparable ruleset for IPCHAINS (and lost my
old script, so I can't translate it with the wrapper).

The rc.firewall script ver. 1.5.1 from Freshmeat.net  seems so small and
less DHCPcd friendly. Does anyone know where I can get a more powerful
script? It needn't support nfs, coda, XWindow ports, etc, just basic web and
e-mail services, very securely.

Thanks!

How do you access Linux?  Direct boot, or first to DOS then to Linux
via loadlin?  The SupraSonic II is a PNP modem.  If your motherboard
has the pnp extensions, it will configure the modem.  If not, and you
boot to DOS first, the utility dwcfgmg.sys inserted as the first line
in your config.sys file will configure the modem for you.  HOWEVER,
if you are booting directly to Linux, I see no problem.  If you
compiled your kernel with PNP option "Y", Linux will find the modems
and configure them.  It sets my SupraSonic II to the standard dos-mode
COM3/COM4 settings.  As far as using both modems for the link to your
ISP, line equalization is NOT what is needed.  Multi-point protocol is
what is needed.  See the following URL for more information:

Hello,
could you post the /etc/exports of the nfs-server and the /etc/fstab of the
nfs-client (or the mount-statement, you tried?

There is an actuall 2.2.x kernel upgrade How To on Redhat's site, it was
99% accurate.  If you are not running
Redhat, the only difference is the you will have to do the package
upgrades the old fashioned way instead of using Rpm's.
