Hi Ryan,
I had the same problem with the 2.2.2 kernel. I finally realized that I
hadn't compiled with the experimental code option enabled (I think that it
is the first option in the menuconfig). Once you enable this, you will see
extra options for port forwarding in the networking section of menuconfig.
Recompile the kernel, make modules, etc. Then try it. It worked for me.
Hope this helps,
Ken

Someone might find this interesting:
I used to get timeout errors from my windoze box
when diald connected.
I used the option -reroute and it has gone away!
either windows gets confused with the rerouting
or ip masquerading does!!

it uses some of the characters which are actually transmitted as control
characters. This means there is the danger that a transmitted character
could trigger especially xoff and since no program actually turned it
off, nothing will ever turn it on again. (yes xon/xoff are supposed to
be escaped when part of the data stream, but accidents can happen).
I would much rather not waste bandwidth on something that could be
handled by an existing control line.

Sure Just make sure that IP forwarding is on on the linux box, and make
the Linux box the gateway for default routes from Win.

Wow, I feel real bright now. I checked /etc/hosts, and I didn't have any
other machines in there. Added a couple, and now it works great. But does
anyone know of a cleaner way to do this? maybe a dhcp server or something? I
don't want to have to add to /etc/hosts every time a new machine is added.
Thanks, Jim Hanson
oh - by default, all machines are allowed. if you add all:all to
/etc/hosts.deny, then you may want to use /etc/hosts.allow to allow specific
machines access. That way, you could have a (nearly) airtight box.

Yes, I remember seeing article like that 10 years ago-- then it was
about printers.
Controlers for modems are so cheap ( the processing power of those old
chips is pleanty for a modem, and the cost of say an 8086 is by now dirt
cheap) that it makes no sense to burden the cpu with the job. This too

Subject: Autologout for dial-in access
Date: Fri, 26 Mar 1999 11:41:45 +0700
Hi,
I am running a dial-in PPP-server under SuSE Linux 5.3. At the moment I
still use a terminal based login. The user then has to start the pppd
from the command line as we also use normal terminal logins.
Now some users are abusing the modem connections as permanent lines so
blocking other users from using the service.
How can I limit for a certain group of users the maximum time that they
can use the connection (autologout after a certain time and logging the
time they spent already on that day so that they cannot login if there
is no online time left on that day).
For the system administrator there should be no time limit.
Thanks for your help

Subject: (PPP) download working, upload doesn't?
Date: 25 Mar 1999 23:49:02 -0500
An interesting development in my long-working PPP configuration.
I can download anything I'd like. Uploading, though, appears to
freeze when the packets are of any mass. Protocol independent, it
doesn't work correctly for SMTP, FTP, SSH, ...
What I mean is that short emails can go out, and small file uploads
via ssh or ftp seem to work fine, but they do take rather long.
Anything larger than around 6k eventually will timeout.
Watching the output from netstat on the connection, I notice that the
Send-Q sits for a while at about the size of the file (a little larger
for overhead), and occasionally will drop 1460 bytes (usually exactly
that amount).
The system has been working just fine for quite some time now.
Changes: upgraded from ppp-2.3.3 to ppp-2.3.6 (interim on 2.3.5 for a
week or two); very recently, kernel-2.0.36 to kernel-2.2.4.
Nothing else of consequence has been altered. I just downgraded back
to ppp-2.3.3 to see if that was it; though it didn't fix the problem,
it did appear to get further *shrug*.
System: rh52, linux-2.2.4, ppp-2.2.3, ppro200, 64MB
Pertinent ppp options:
ttyS2
defaultroute
noipdefault
modem
lock
115200
asyncmap 0x0
I tried taking out asyncmap in case that was a problem (it had been in
the past, but it didn't seem to help anything this time).
The ISP denies any changes (although, curiously, they label certain
parameters such as MTU and MRU as proprietary, and therefore they
cannot tell me anything about them when I called ... huh???).
Any thoughts?

Subject: Networking with 2.2.x kernels
Date: Fri, 26 Mar 1999 05:22:55 GMT
After much struggling and reading the howto's I finally managed to get
my two linux boxen talking to each other under 2.0.36 kernels on a
Redhat 5.2 system. One of my network cards requires that the kernel be
passed io=0x240 and irq=11 so that it finds the card. I put these in
/etc/conf.modules and it worked fine
I figured it would be a trivial task to upgrade to 2.2.1. But no
network card. I discoved that by loading the network driver as a module
and using:
insmod ne.o irq=11 io=0x240
the network works.
So my question is where do I put this stuff under 2.2.x kernels?
Also, I'm getting module not found when I boot. Where does Redhat want
the modules under 2.2.x?
Sorry about the grammer in the post, been doing a few all nighters this
week
Thanks in advance

Subject: Getting to Files on an NT Server behind firewall
Date: Thu, 25 Mar 1999 21:44:52 -0700
I am setting up a network in a county courthouse with 20 Windows 98
machines, 1 Windows NT Server, and 1 dual-homed linux box w/kernel 2.2.2
acting as a firewall. The courthouse has a T1 to the Internet and the linux
machine is setup with a public IP on eth0 and a private IP of 192.168.0.250
on eth1. I am running Squid to provide proxy service to everyone on the
network. I am using IPChains to prevent access from the outside. Herein
lies my problem: I have two computers that are on the outside that have to
access files and run applications off of the NT Server. I have IP
Masquerading and forwarding enabled in the kernel and have an IP Chains
command that (I think) is masquerading correctly.
1. Is what I want to do possible?
2. If so, how do I configure this? I have downloaded the Port Forwarding
files and info, and have read the FAQ and HOW-TO, but am still very
confused. Specific examples would be very helpful and greatly appreciated.
3. Do I forward the TCP or UDP protocol?
4. What specific port(s) should I forward to?
5. Is there anything I should do on the two outside machines (win95) other
than putting an entry into the LMHOSTS file with the public IP address of
the firewall and the name of the NT Server?
Thanks very much in advance.
BTW - The firewall is working great at letting everyone on the network
access the Internet and I am also able to ping the public side of the
firewall from the two machines that have to have access.

Look at Linksys cards. They have linux compatibility
information ON THE BOX. They also have web based
installation support for Linux.
In a purely political vein, I think they should reap
some business benefit from us (linux users).

)Urgh. Don't. You probably meant "chmod 600 /etc/smbpasswd" .
)OTOH, this would be a perfect example for why it is always a good
)idea to have a secondary root console open when doing sensitive
)changes to your passwd / login files.
chmod 600 /etc/passwd wouldn't break all that much. All the important
login programs all run as root; it would break user invocations of
getpwent() and such, so "ls" and "ps" would show numerics rather than
user names.
Still, it's probably not what they want.

Subject: How to set up a Linux client with a Win98 host?
Date: 26 Mar 1999 04:37:15 GMT
I have a WIn98 LAN using WInProxy as a firewall. Can someone point me to the
appropriate HOW-TO to allow me to properly configure a Linux Client? I can
ping the host and ping the client, but don't know how to go from there.
Thanks,
Hoyt
