Looking at your route table in win is simple, start a dos window and enter
"ROUTE PRINT" this will dump the current table.
"ARP -A" will dump the loaded arp table if any, if things are working right
you should have a dynamic entry for your Linux adapter here.
Mine is empty because I am having the same Eth0 routing problem.

Subject: Denver Area LINUX Consultant Wanted
Date: Sun, 21 Mar 1999 10:08:02 -0700
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone could refer me to someone in the Denver area
that would be willing to do a day or two of contract LINUX/network
consulting (experienced). I run a small LAN (2 pc's, Pentium w/ Win98,
and 486 100Mhz w/ LINUX) which is connected to the Internet via an ADSL
connection. The network is currently working, however I need help in
the following areas:
1) Properly configuring the network (addresses, domain name, etc...)
2) NFS and SAMBA configuration
3) Security (Proxy,firewall)
4) Router Configuration (Cisco 675 router)
5) SendMail - Mail server setup
I'm fairly good with LINUX, however I don't have the time to research
and figure this stuff out myself. If you can recommend anyone please
let me know or forward this message to the appropriate individual(s).
Thank you very much.

On RH the path is usually /usr/src/redhat/linux/BUILD
However the source code needs to be installed (you can find it on
your RH CD).
So the steps are:
1. Install the sources
("rpm -Uvh kernel-x.x.xx-src.rpm")
2. Configure the sources
("rpm -bp /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel-x.x.xx.spec")
3. Check the sources are in place at:
/usr/src/redhat/linux/BUILD
4. Compile the pcmcia sources giving this path at the appropriate time
Cheers Wasim

Yes to both questions.
Use SAMBA and check out the details in /etc/smb.conf
"man smb.conf" gives you all the answers.
BTW - Samba is now in version 2.x so use that if possible.

Subject: Firewall GATEWAY
Date: Sun, 21 Mar 1999 15:35:58 -0500
Hello,
I have a private network and a firewall network both connected to a Linux
server/router.
The firewall Linux box is supposed to forward and masquerade IP packets to the internet
but this does not happen.
For this firewall box what should be the GATEWAY AND GATEWAYDEV settings in the
/etc/sysconfig/network file? Access to the internet is through the modem connection
so should the GATEWAYDEV=ppp0 ?
Can somebody help me with this or have any general comments on what files to check
on a typical firewall box?
Thanks, TML

Subject: netstat hangs for gateway
Date: Sun, 21 Mar 1999 20:49:38 GMT
Hello,
I'm using Redhat 5.1 with kernel 2.0.35...
I can't seem to get my gateway route to work. I'm using the scripts
that come along with Redhat (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/*), and
all seems well when I boot up. I have added comments to the scripts
and I see the route command executed:
route add default gw xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx eth0
I also can check /proc/net/route and see that there are four entries:
eth0 - the external network
eth1 - my internal network
lo - loopback
eth0 - gateway (destination = 0.0.0.0, gw = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)
(flags = 3)
However, when I try "netstat -r" or "route" to look at the route table
I get the first three entries, and then nothing... I have to CNTRL-C
to get my prompt back.
I can ping internally (on eth1), I see ARP messages going out when
I ping the xxx.xxx.xxx.0 network (as I would expect since it's not
connected to the external network), but nothing when I try to ping
through to addresses beyond the gateway (anything but the two
nets defined for the interfaces)... no ARP requests, nothing.
Any thoughts ?

I'm running RedHat 5.2 with kernel 2.2.2. I've configured the kernel to
statically link the network aliasing and ip aliasing modules. My ethernet
card is a intel ethernet pro 10/100.
I've followed the IP-Aliasing mini-howto, but have been unable to get ip
aliasing working. After issuing the following command:
/sbin/ifconfig eth0:0 192.0.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
ifconfig did not show an interace for eth0:0 and there isn't a
/proc/net/aliases file.
Sound familiar? Any ideas?
Thanks,

If you just want to route between two networks (without firewalling,
masquerading or whatever) then your machine will be OK. Any modern
distribution needs 8 meg to install though, and if you don't have much
disk then you'll need some trail and error to squeeze everything you
need on. You best bet is to put the hard drive in a fast machine,
install and/or compile what you need, then transfer the disk back.
If you can get another 4 meg it will make the machine a lot nicer to
work on, but won't make it route any faster.
Good luck,
Geoff

This is a point that most people miss - XFree86 xterm usually is run
on a PC keyboard, so people expect it to do odd things with the delete
(and backarrow) keys. Numlock is another problem. (No one's entirely
happy with the compromises).

Hello!
I have been dinking with PPP, and have RedHat 5.2 on a laptop that dials
into a PPP server just fine. My next step is getting one of my RedHat 5.2
boxes set up to answer incoming PPP calls. I've dropped 3 modems in it, and
set up a rollover group (on the 3 lines) to handle the calls coming in.
I thought I remembered that someone said to use MGETTY to handle my
incoming calls. The incoming calls will be from Win '9x machines, and using
PAP, I guess.
1) Where should I get MGETTY from?
2) Is it the 'best' program for what I need? By best, I mean easy to use
and stable. This machine isn't going to get a lot of calls, just one or 2 a
night. I don't need any bloatware that does accounting, etc.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.

Yes,
You must sign-onto the Win computer with username and password equal to a user
and passwork on the Linux box.
The workgroup setting in /etc/smb.conf my be equal to the workgroup setting the
Win computer.
>From a typical /etc/smb.conf file:
[global]
# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name
workgroup = WORKGROUP
...
# Enable this if you want Samba to be a domain logon server for
# Windows95 workstations.
domain logons = yes
There are other settings in /etc/smb.conf that are activated and deactivated.
With my RedHat distribution
I only needed to change what I indicated above.

If you can put more memory in that's best. Slackware can be installed
with 4 meg of ram, but you have to manually configure swap before the
installer will work. The LRP requires 12 meg because it doesn't use
swap and runs entirely out of RAM. I have installed slackware on a 4
meg 386 before. I wasn't configuring it as a router though. With an
install like this you will need to recompile the kernel. The 386 with
4 meg will need 30+ hours to do a kenel recompile. I use a faster
machine for this.

Subject: Linux - NT RAS Problems: Working now Not
Date: 21 Mar 1999 15:05:03 -0600
Until the other day, I was able to connect to my employer's
NT network from home using Linux. My work uses RAS. In order
to avoid problems (?), I was 'moved' to another box (now GREY
and not TAN). My password was also changed. I was able to get W98
to connect just fine with the new password, but I did have to add
the domain to the 'domain' box on the signin prompt. So the color
change of the server does not seem to be relevant to whatever they
did to me. But the bottom line is that my Linux connection no
longer works. Here is what some of the diagnostic messages are:

Now, the E=961 error will repeat itself until I hang up. I am assuming
that the only thing I needed to change in 'CHAP-SECRETS' was my password
references. I have also tried adding (and then removing) a new option
to my startup pppd script i.e. 'domain mycompanydomain \'. Even if I
try to change the color to the supposed 'new' color, it hangs up
immediately.
How can I find out what error messages (like 691) mean? Could they
have changed things in some even more bizarre way that I could not
even imagine?
Please help!
