I believe that you can install the Debian distribution on 4 MB of ram,
but I know none of the details or how well the machine would perform as
a router.

Hi,
I'm connecting two Linux machines over an ethernet with 10Base2 wire
(end looks like a big phone plug). It looks like Linux recognizes
the card on both ends - the interfaces are up, and the routes are set.
However, the machines won't ping each other.
I've just connected the two machines directly with a cable.
Do I need to put a hub in between for some reason? If so, why?
Thanks in advance for the help. Please cc replies to

Beginner trying to get a very stripped down version of linux happening
as a net gateway on an old 486 linked into a 3 PC home ethernet lan
running TCP/IP under Windoze, with SMC 8013 cards. Built from 2.0.27
parts, but no gcc etc. so cant compile/link etc. Am looking for
precompiled wd.o to match 2.0.27 kernel.
Have searched kernel.org, linux.org, archie in about 6 continents.
Have concluded there is a world wide conspiracy to eliminate old linux
archives/mirrors, *especially* those with 2.0.27 parts :-)
Any help appreciated. Note the need to edit email address (see

Thanks

LRP is optimized around a specific set of assumptions. By using a small
RAM disk as the root device and booting from a DOS compatible device
you can simplify some parts of the install process and possibly increase
security by simplifying the system (less stuff means less stuff to get
right and ensure that it has not been comprimised etc etc etc).
It is also optimized from your point of view in that you can do a small
install without having to figure out what parts of a full install to
throw out. LRP and variants can boot and do routing from a 1.4MB floppy
disk.
There are also other small linux kits that install and run well on minimal
systems. Don't know if they are as easy to configure for a router or are
available with a current kernel.
Anyhow if you can get some more memory you can find a fully configured
masquerading firewall router at http://edge.fireplug.net. It does require
at least 16MB of RAM though.

Three platforms is a particularly pleasant special case: you only need
three pieces of cable to _fully_ connect them. Run fiber from A->B, B->C
and C->B. What's more, if any one piece of fiber breaks they're _still_
connected.
Within each platform, 10baseT is probably the best choice as long as the
equipment is not exposed to the elements. If you need additional
redundancy, give each machine two NIC's and use two hubs. Shouldn't be
necessary, though, unless they're going to be unattended for long
periods of time. Just keep spares around.
If the bandwidth requirements between platforms aren't particularly
high, you don't have too many nodes, and they're not too far apart, you
could even use twisted pair between platforms. Fiber is probably
going to resist corrosion better, though.

Fiber is a little different; it's not really a bus. Each segment is an
independent point-to-point link; termination is not needed (it's an
electrical requirement; fiber is optical). It is true, though, that a
broken segment will partition a bus. It takes two breaks to partition a
ring (which on a 3-node network is equivalent to a fully-connected
network).

The easiest way to do this is to get a twisted-pair crossover cable. You
should be able to find one where you got your standard cable. If you're
going to be adding more machines in the future, it might be worthwhile to
get a small hub because a crossover will only work by directly connecting
two machines. The basic reason that you need the x-over cable is because (I
think) it reverses the CTS/CTR signals so they're on the appropriate pins.
At least I think it's something similar to null modem cables....haven't done
much interface programming for a few years;) Hope this helps!

You need either an Ethernet 10Base-T Crossover Cable (used to cascade hubs)
or a hub (and 2 straight thru cables).
This is the schema for a crossover cable:
TX+ 1 <-...-> 3 RX+
TX- 2 <-...-> 6 RX-
RX+ 3 <-...-> 1 TX+
RX- 6 <-...-> 2 TX-k

hello. i have two machines wired together through ethernet cards connected to

as an NFS server. the other computer is running an older dos.
how can i test to see if the nfs server is running correctly?
second, how do i actually do the install? suse's bootdisk provides the option
to install over NFS but it claims there is no network module loaded, though i
specified one (although, the problem is the ethernet card seems to be
incorporated in the motherboard and hence i have no idea what brand/model it
is, so i just went through the module list until one claimed it loaded
properly). anyone know what i can do to try and get this working?

Rinetd will work. I have been told that redir will work. You can also use
portfw in the kernel (you may have to recompile kernel, perhaps get newer
one etc to get this, plus dig up the admin tools for it).
Don't forget to add rule to allow port 80 in on your firewall.

Date: Sun, 21 Mar 1999 22:30:31 GMT
Ok, I'm at a loss. Maybe this makes sense to somebody out here on the net...
Just got new cable modem (Hybrid networks N-231). Setup appears simple
enough; cable to back of cable modem, 10bT crossover cable from modem to PC
ethernet card (Kingston KNE100TX, yet another DEC 'tulip' variant). I get my
address, routing info etc. via DHCP, although it appears to be static in
practice. The cable modem has its own IP address and acts as a router.
After some pain installing the correct driver in Win98 (dual boot), this
works fine there.
Added the 'tulip' module to Linux kernel, enabled DHCP on eth0. DHCP works -
I get the correct address, etc. - but I can't ping the modem, let alone
route through it. Tried hardwiring the routes without DHCP, forcing ethernet
to 10bt half-duplex, and some other things I've since forgotten. No use; I
can't seem to talk to the cable modem. But DHCP works, so... ??
Some command outputs follow.

Not sure if this will work, but I have a possible workaround: After you're
connected in Windows, run 'winipcfg'. Click on the More Info button and
select your PPP adapter. In the Host Information half of the window, can
you click the '...' button to cycle through the DNS Servers it assigned to
your machine? If you can, try putting these in your resolv.conf. Maybe
reconnect a few times from Windows to make sure you're being given the same
IPs each time. Hope this works!

The first parameter to nslookup is de name or the ip address of what

Yes, this is one of those things that Linux does "the right way"
and suffers for it. See Carlson's PPP Design and Debugging, pg 77
to see why dynamic DNS negotiation doesn't belong in PPP's IPCP.
First, try to get the DNS server addresses from your ISP or whatever.
Often, it doesn't change, but they just don't want to give it out
because they don't think you need it. Or try connecting with
Windows a few times and see if it really changes.
I have also read of a way to get around it by setting up your
own caching-only nameserver, and pointing it to the real DNS server,
but I don't know the details of how they did it.

Here are a few suggestions that may get you going (apologies if you've
already tried all these):
First, are you *sure* that's the right IP address for the router?
Second, what about name services? You may need to tell your resolver
(via /etc/resolv.conf) or BIND if you're running it (/etc/named.boot
or /etc/named.conf) about your ISP's nameservers. This may not apply
to the Win95 machines as the NT box may be handling this for them
somehow (I think NT can provide a WINS name service, getting the
information from DNS).
You could try using ping and traceroute to see how far your packets are
getting before they get lost.
