Jon,
We have had nothing but good experiences with Xwin from a
company called Starnet, http://www.starnet.com/ -- you can download
a free eval (which is limited to 2 hour sessions). It installs real
well on both Win 95/98, no problem with fonts, or mystery crashes.
It emulates both single windows, or an entire window manager
environment. Really was fairly painless!

IRQ conflict. This is a PNP modem, and you will have to use the
isapnptools and "setserial" to get it working correctly.

Because of this lack, I am now involved in the Project Independence

some programs handy for systems that are shut down at night. <amazingly

Subject: e-mail sending problems (not a newbie)
current setup:
RedHat 5.2
Kernel 2.2.3
samba-2.x
ppp-2.3.6-2
diald
dialmon
sendmail-8.9.3 in "deferred mode"
fetchmail-4.5.8-2
ipchains-1.3.8-1
Each time it dials into the ISP, my ip-up script runs "sendmail -q" to
flush anything sitting in the queue, and launches fetchmail to poll a
bunch of pop3 mailboxes and dump the mail into each users mailbox on the
linux pc. The ip-down script then kills fetchmail.
All of this was working, so I don't know what broke, but anyway... I
can't send any e-mail from any workstation includeing PINE on the linux
box. I can receive just fine from anywhere. For example, on my WinNT
box, (I know, but it's my development box), I use Netscape. I can
receive just fine, but 98% of the e-mail I try to send, says "sending",
"100% complete", "waiting for replay", and then times out. I tried using
Pine on the Linux box and it gave a similar error about "smtp connection
terminated". Don't know if this is related but, I also tried running
sendmail in the foreground with debug/verbose on and it connects to the
recipient mail server, gets all the way to the "send message and
terminate with a single '.' prompt and just sits there. (Yes, I
temporarily changed my ipchains rules to ACCEPT everything). When I
changed the "forward" policy to ACCEPT, a few domains started working,
like hotmail.com. Why does one or two domains work, but most do not?

Unless the NAT implementation on linux is different from my Ascend router you
are wrong. I have a LAN with Class C addresses 192.168.1.X and every computer on
my network can access the internet via the router. To the outside world it looks
like I am a single machine with a legal IP.
This setup won't route IN- > to my network (i.e. I can't give people access to a

Not really asking which card is best, more like.. "Which one works best
under Linux?" I have at my disposal several NE2000 cards and a couple of
Intel Etherexpress Pro cards. I figured the Intel card might be better so
I put it in instead of the NE2000 I'd been using for years. I recompiled
the kernel and it does work. However, it takes it like 30 seconds longer
to boot because it is giving weird messages about the card and then while
booted strange messages come across the console every few minutes about the
card. However, it does work and there seems to be no trouble. I'm think
about switching back to the NE2000, but I am not sure anymore. Any
thoughts?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Well, I don't know about that...
Looks quite straightforward to me. I don't know about ipfwadm but I
had a bit of a look at the new ipchains and was quite impressed at
the simplicity of it - the ipchains HOWTO is quite good.
So, in your case, it would seem that you put most of the firewalling
rules into the input/output chains and use the -i option a lot to
specify the interface to use (I think that would be -W on ipfwadm)
A setup where the firewall runs nothing else would of course have
something like
ipchains -A input -d [IP-of-Firewall] -j DENY
then, if you don't want any servers run on the Intranet
ipchains -A output -p tcp -d [Intranet-Netaddr] 0:2000 -j DENY
ipchains -A output -p udp -d [Intranet-Netaddr] 0:2000 -j DENY
(not sure about that, but I _think_ 2000 is the end of the
priviledged port range)
etc.etc.
AFAIK it really pays to change to 2.2.x and ipchains b/c it should
be quite a bit more comfortable to use and perhaps a little faster.
Also, if you use masquerading, there are more supported protocols
and variants.

Subject: IP alias & routing
Date: Wed, 24 Mar 1999 14:43:05 GMT
Hi,
I'm currently making IP networks tests.
My tests platform:
3 PCs (2 linux 2.0.35 SuSE, 1 win95), 1 ethernet card each.
All 3 PCs are on the same ethernet LAN.
My idea is to make 2 isolated IP networks, over it (the second PC
acting as a firewall).
This is the adresses assignment:
PC 1 PC 2 PC 3
win95 linux linux
192.168.3.1 192.168.3.254
192.168.2.254 192.168.2.88
Having only 1 network card for the firewall, I use the 'aliasing'
feature to assign more than one IP adress to the card.
PC 2 has 2 network interfaces:
eth0 for IP network 192.168.3.0
eth0:0 for IP network 192.168.2.0
I isolated the IP networks (PC 2 doesn't forward/gateway packets):
pinging from 192.168.3.1 to 192.168.2.88 doesn't work.
THE PROBLEM: 192.168.3.1 is able to ping 192.168.3.254, BUT ALSO
192.168.2.254
The problem seems to come from the behavior the aliased interface
(eth0:0).
Here is the result of sniffing packets,
with 192.168.3.1 pinging 192.168.2.254 :
1. ARP request from 192.168.3.1 to 192.168.3.254 (because defined as
the gateway in PC1's routing table)
2. ARP reply from 192.168.3.254 to 192.168.3.1
3. ICMP echo from 192.168.3.1 to 192.168.2.254
4. ICMP echo reply from 192.168.2.254 to 192.168.3.1
---
In addition, ipfwadm on PC2 doesn't notice any traffic between
192.168.3.254 and 192.168.2.254
Is this the expected behaviour ?
Any idea is welcome,
thank you.

I had the same problem myself after installing the prebuilt package

Subject: Procmail problem.
Date: Wed, 24 Mar 1999 15:04:21 +0200
Hi all,
I have got fetchmail receiving mail from our ISP. Fetchmail passes it to
procmail which sorts it into a couple of aliases. I can check mail for root
but none of the other users. It says the mail is already being read. Is this
a lockfile problem? If so, How do I get rid of it?
I would ultimately like fetchmail to be receiving mail from 2 accounts with
our ISP. Is this possible?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards
Andrew Higgs

Subject: 2 entries for eth0 in route table
Date: Wed, 24 Mar 1999 15:12:06 +0000
Hi,
I have two RedHat 5.0 machines both with networking installed and all running
fine. However upon doing a route -n I get the following output:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
Question is, why does eth0 appear twice and is this OK or could it be a problem
and how do I fix it.
Any comments/ideas appreciated.
Pat

Maybe the Browser is set up to use a proxy through the firewall ???
