Hi!
I just got the above mentioned card a couple of days ago, but I have
found no driver for linux so far.
Can anyone help me?
If possible, please answer as personal mail, since I do not have the
opportunity to read news too often.
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm using the following - very familiar to you - configuration and have some
probs configuring the squid proxy:
### Squid doesn't catch the main pages (at least it seems so) ###
Configuration:
* One Server (Linux 2.0.36)
* Two Clients (Widows 95 OSR2)
* IP-Masquerading
* diald over PPP
* squid proxy
The way I did:
* diald doesn't get connected on DNS-Request, but need e.g. a ping to
nowhere (with this setting the router doesn't get connected when I'm
browsing documents off-line that have static references which need to be
resolved by a DNS)
But it's still a little uncomfortable. For that reason I've decided using
the squid http-proxy instead - to can browse everything off-line and get
only connected if I want to load new contents. To get Squid behaving the
favoured way I included the following line in /etc/squid.conf:
refresh_pattern . 10080 20% 43200 override-expire
This is also the only "refresh_pattern" in it. (BTW. Who can me explain what
the percent statement means?)
Now the complete squid.conf:
=====================================================================
http_port 8080
icp_port 0
htcp_port 0
cache_mem 4 MB
cache_dir /var/squid/cache 40 16 256
cache_access_log /var/squid/logs/access.log
cache_log /var/squid/logs/cache.log
cache_store_log /var/squid/logs/store.log
cache_swap_log /var/squid/logs/swap.log
debug_options ALL,1
cache_dns_program /usr/sbin/dnsserver
dns_children 5
refresh_pattern . 11340 20% 48600 override-expire
# low connect_timeout just for testing purposes
connect_timeout 10 seconds
acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255
acl jaspallee src 192.168.46.0/255.255.255.0
acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
http_access allow jaspallee
http_access allow all
icp_access allow jaspallee
icp_access allow all
visible_hostname webcache.jaspallee.lan
=====================================================================
I left all omitted (but possible) values untouched. So I might missed some
really needful parameters.
Thanks a lot for your answers.

Hi, I love using my linux box, but sometimes have to work on the other
boxes (Win95 or WinNT). I would like to be able to do my linux "work"
(emacs, compiling, working with files that are on my linux box, etc.)
from the Win95 or NT box. Is this possible? Is this what a "terminal
emulator" is for? (Sorry, I'm quite a newbie to this stuff). So, if a
terminal emulator program is the right tool for the job, is there a free
one available for nt/95? If there is a better way to do this, please
offer whatever suggestions you can.
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi,
The 'ip-up' and 'ip-down' scripts get executed when the link goes up
and down. You can do anything you want from there.
Also, I have a ppp link that is always up and I use the 'demand' option
(ver > 2.3.5) and an entry in inittab to respawn if it really does die.
pu:2:respawn:/sbin/mydialer
This way it hangs the phone up during inactivity but leaves the link up
and dials back in when a request for an addresse outside my local LAN
comes in from any of the internal masqueraded machines.
It has been known to run for many months at a time without error or user
intervention. ;) It hangs occasionally but is always the result of
the phone company or ISP or other jive occurence.

Subject: Linux Router Telnet Session Timeout
Date: Sat, 20 Mar 1999 09:18:52 -0800
I designed a Multi home Mulit segmented network. 4 NICS on Linux router. 1
Ascend Gateway router and 1 Cisco Gatway router. Workgroup network / Sever
Network / Internet Service Network / Remote Office network.
Using Linux as core router. Everything works great except for Telnet
session timeouts.
Telnet sessions on local subnets do not have problem. Problem only occurs
when crossing the router and session is idle for 5 minutes.
Router is also doing firewalling / MASQ / Aliasing. GateD is also playing
RIP.
This issue has caused me to combine two subnets that I really really want
seperate.
Linux Kernal 2.0.36. I have been looking for reports of something similiar.
Can not find anything.
Do not even know what to try. Can't live with it... Causes bad licensing
problems on Database connections. Users must log off properly or port is
not released and within an hour no users can log in.
Please... Please... Ah... Some help please...
Thanks,
Matt W.

Subject: "Industrial" Ethernet
Date: Sat, 20 Mar 1999 19:47:30 GMT
I am designing a Emergency Shutdown and Fire and Gas System for an offshore
platform complex consisting of three platforms. I will have a ESD and F&G PLC
on each of the three platforms. Each PLC will have its own PC based
workstation (or HMI). Each platform is a stand alone system, not depending on
the other platforms. All of the mentioned components are Ethernet/IEEE 802.3
compatible. I want to link all of these components via an Ethernet network.
My proposed topology and cabling is as follows:
Install a backbone consisting of redundant fiber between platforms in a Bus
configuration. Install a media converter and hub on each platform thus
converting to a Star configuration.
My limited knowledge of Ethernet tells me that a Bus topology depends on
being "terminated" at every end and will fail the entire network if a cable
breaks, and that a Star topology will continue to operate if one segment
fails as long as the hub continues to operate. My concern is (with this given
topology) if the backbone is cut between the platforms, does the star network
on the "stand- alone" platform continue to operate?
Any advice on this subject, as well as some advice on latest technology
hardware to implement this project, is appreciated.

Only machines on a local subnet can talk to eachother.
Basically
Linux ip should be something like
192.168.1.2
255.255.255.0
Win98 should be
192.168.1.3
255.255.255.0
Anything else plugged into the hub should also follow the same concept.
That's about all.

Reply-To: "Andrew Tatton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
How about this:
Option 1) Disable diald on the linux box and initiate the connection from
linux to ISP manually when needed.
Option 2) Don't know if this is possible but can you stop diald dialing if
it's a certain command from a certain host, I would imagine so...if so
disable all web related commands from your eth0 card or from host ip of
win95 machine
Option 3) Take the modem off the win95 machine and just use diald and ip
masq/firewall to handle all internet connections, just about all programs I
use run...everything from IE5 on win95/8 clients to Quake2 linux and
windows.
Try the ipmasq howto or search on internet for the faq( I have a
.home.ml.org and they don't exist anymore ( ipmasq.home.ml.org )). Other
than that email me and I'll send you the faq in Acroread format.
Hope that helps

Yes...
Design each "Platform" as a standalone zone. "Star config" is fine. I
don't know what a "Platform" is but if it is small enough then each
"platform" could be designed exactly the same with the exception of
different address' for each host.
If they are all designed the same then each platform can essentially become
"Plug and Play" if one is not connected it should not effect the others.
But you must use one as a Central Point for it to be that easy.
Ex:
platform 1 : CENTRAL CONCENTRATOR port 0
platform 2 : connects to Platform 1: CENTRAL CONCENTRATOR port 1
platfomr 3: connects to Platform 1: CENTRAL CONCENTRATOR port 2
I am just making up words to somewhat match what you asked. If it's not
possible because of what a platform is then... It should work.
Do the platforms circle a central platform or are they in line. In line
will be much harder to configure this way from a cabling point of view.
Hope this helps.

Sure, the easiest way is to use the telnet client included
in win95/NT.
Just telnet to your linuxbox and log in. Remember, you can't
login as root. Log in as a user and su as root.
Good Luck

I don't have any recommendations for equipment for you. Other then the

Just depends on what you wnat to spend or what you need to spend to protect

Well, you might consider than in the United States, yes,
our own little country, people have been denied jobs,
persecuted, and in other ways harassed FOR PERFECTLY
LEGAL BEHAVIOR.
Even in your stating that you do nothing in private
that you would mind having exposed "except for things
like sex", you are stating that to some degree
privacy is important to you.
Because, as I'm sure you're aware, in some states
certain types of sex - things less kinky than occured
recently in the White House - are against the law,
even when conducted by a man and woman joined in
holy matrimony sactioned by the state.
So, buddy, you never know, if privacy rights disappear,
it might be YOUR back up against the wall.
Those who wrote our Constitution understood the world
better than you do, I'm afraid...

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.

Sure, firstly you cannot just use some IP addresses at will and secondly
since no-one is going to ask your name server for anything your machines
are bound to be unknown to the end of all and everything and I really doubt
you've a chance to get an official class A IP address 8)
