Well, chances are that any recent Fast Ethernet card you buy nowadays will
work with Linux. I have a D-Link DFE-530TX card and it works fine.

I agree with this idea COMPLETELY. If the idea that people do wrong is a
good enough excuse to violate our privacy, and the attitude that if we do
nothing wrong is an excuse for us not to complain, then the violation of
our privacy has nothing to do with being right or wrong. Just someone
elses interest.
The minds behind the observation systems are simply motivated by self
interest, regardless of right or wrong. If you toss money at the man, he

Date: Thu, 18 Mar 1999 20:44:07 GMT
I'm not sure this really is a linux problem. It may actually be
a Win NT problem. If that is the case, sorry...
I'm connecting to a NT LAN with ppp. The box I'm dialing into
is a NT RAS machine. Connecting and loggin in works fine
and I can ping machines on the network. I can also telnet to
my linux-laptop that is connected to the LAN.
But if I do a broadcast ping I get now response at all.
This may sound as a small problem but I also have some problems
with samba, and I suspect that it's caused by this.

I've also had this. it said, loading linux and reboot immediatly. If you DO
have a clean source rerun your configuration, and turn off all hardware

that, it booted fine. Hope it helps

well, your problem with the ethernet card is, it could have been the address
of your e-card.
first question to you is, have you ever, successfully ismod the card module
before?
the problem with your 2nd problem is, even you copy the module, seems like it
was build on a diff. kernel. that's why it won't match.
p.s. does NE2000 uses 3c59 module??

Make sure that under Kpppd that you have set this route to be default.
Once this is check, it should work. The problem is that your OS is

Hi,
Look into rsync.

On the linux box make sure ipfwadm is installed, and add the following
line to your /etc/rc.d/rc.local file:
/sbin/ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.0.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0
Or just do that as root to test it without rebooting.

Subject: Re: Route with ISA or PCI
Date: Fri, 19 Mar 1999 19:06:31 GMT
Yeah, I did this about a month ago. Using a PCI bus and have no problem, but
depending on the speeds from your cable modem you might be able to get away
with a lesser box. I do not get the speeds usually associated with cable
modems. But I have a P166 client running win98, thru a ISA 8 bit net
card...real slow, right? I got 1.4Mbits/sec this morning to it. I think the
analogy is that if this works on the desktop, the "router/firewall" if
configured with similar hardware should be ok. You are not going to get
10megabits/sec from the cable company, no matter what they may tell you.
So figure the bus speed on your ISA box. I've once heard, and used with no
problem the bus speed as being the limit of how many bits per second you can
jam thru the net card.
I could be dead wrong on that but it hasn't failed me yet.
I also at one point tried it briefly with a pair of 3C509's, and it worked
fine.
Are you using the LRP disk? Makes the task much easier. I've tried it, and
basically re-used the ipfwadm scripts from it on the box doing the
firewalling for me. But the stand alone no hard drive disk also worked fine.

That is only specific to Redhat.
>From the ifconfig man page:
IFCONFIG(8) Linux Programmer's Manual IFCONFIG(8)
NAME
ifconfig - configure a network interface
SYNOPSIS
ifconfig [interface]
ifconfig interface [aftype] options | address ...
DESCRIPTION
Ifconfig is used to configure the kernel-resident network
interfaces. It is used
at boot time to set up interfaces as necessary. After that, it is
usually only
needed when debugging or when system tuning is needed.
If no arguments are given, ifconfig displays the status of the
currently active
interfaces. If a single interface argument is given, it displays the
status of the
given interface only; if a single -a argument is given, it displays
the status of
all interfaces, even those that are down. Otherwise, it configures
an interface.
Address Families
If the first argument after the interface name is recognized as the
name of a sup-
ported address family, that address family is used for decoding and
displaying all
protocol addresses. Currently supported address families include
inet (TCP/IP,
default), inet6 (IPv6), ax25 (AMPR Packet Radio), ddp (Appletalk
Phase 2), ipx
(Novell IPX) and netrom (AMPR Packet radio).
OPTIONS
interface
The name of the interface. This is usually a driver name
followed by a unit
number, for example eth0 for the first Ethernet interface.
up This flag causes the interface to be activated. It is
implicitly specified
if an address is assigned to the interface.
down This flag causes the driver for this interface to be shut
down.
So you'd want to do ifconfig eth1 down to accomplish what you want in other
than RedHat installations. It probably works in RedHat as well.

not sure why you need that much power. Even a single-CPU mid-range pentium
would do. 30 clients is nothing. slashdot.org has over 500 000 hits daily
and it used to run on a dual PII-266, recently upgraded to a dual PII-450
and now there's lots of CPU cylces to burn.
Dual CPU systems are well supported under Linux. In fact Linux can scale to
up to 16 CPUs.
Where a lot of CPU power is needed Alphas provide significantly better
performance / price ratio then anything Intel can produce. Not to mention
that they are way ahead on absolute performance and their architecture is 64
bit which means they are not limited to 4 gig of RAM like 32 bit
architectures.

It sounds like pppd failed to set the default route to ppp0. You probably
have the default route set to eth0. You can check this with the route
command. Set a static route to your internal network and set the default
route to ppp0. The ppp0 default route is normally handled by an option
setting to pppd. I'm not sure how your script works so I can't comment any
further on that. pppd may be failing to override your eth0 default route.
