Todd,
You ain't going to believe this, in fact, almost ashamed to admit it, but I
had one digit in the name server IP wrong. I must have looked at that thing
at least a dozen times over the past week and never seen that it was wrong.
Goes to show you that you can't check things too often. Thanks for your
help, when you said check the resolv.conf I thought sure... ok... I've done
that about 50 millions times, what will once more hurt... sure enough, there
it was staring me in the face!

Subject: Network config ?
Date: Mon, 29 Mar 1999 01:21:24 -0500
I recently changed ethernet adapters to use with my cable modem,
and (unsurprisingly) linux stopped recognizing it at boot up.
If i do 'cat /proc/pci' i can see the card at i/o addres 0xd000.
I'm not sure what to do in order to get it recognized at startup
like it used to with my old card (which I had set up with the linux
installation procedure)
Is there a way to get back to that particular installation panel
without reinstalling ? (or a better way to configure the card ?)
The card is a standard $15 NE2000 and I am using RH5.0 distribution.
TIA :)

Subject: Can Squid Do This?
Date: Mon, 29 Mar 1999 15:37:46 GMT
Hello All,
I would like to setup a proxy server which would allow our dial in users to
access services on the Net and was recommended to use Squid. I'm just
not sure if it could handle the load. Initially this could be several
hundred
connections but has the possibility of going much higher.
Does anyone have any suggestions regarding the type of solution that
might fit best? Also, we have a firewall and I'm not sure where I should
put
the dialin users as they will need to access web data behind our firewall
but also need to surf.
Thanks for any help,
Rick

I just finished making this work and here is the "unofficial Monkey
boy guide to Linux router config."
Most of the information can be faound at sunsite linux howto
http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX-3.html#ss3.1
check out Net3 and Ethernet Howtos as well Ip masquerade mini how to.
but here is my palin enlish monkey boy version
Linux Router Configuration
Based on RedHat 5.2
Setting up the box.
Install from CD. Do not select any unnecessary daemons such as Web and
Anon ftp. XWindows is optional but not needed. Although the GUI has
some very easy tools to set up the second interface card.
I recommend using 2 PCI network cards because Linux can automatically
configure these cards for IO and IRQ. Also using the exact same card
works best also because on the Initial RedHat install Linux will only
set up eth0.
Manually Setting up the second card.
If the second card is the same card as the eth0 RedHat will already
know it is there. And you can then load the card from the command
line using the following:
As root:
ifconfig This shows the current cards that are loaded.
To Add Card 2:
ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
(substitute your IP and Subnet as needed)
You now need to add an entry into the routing table to tell the kernel
that datagrams for all hosts with addresses that match 192.168.1.*
should be sent to the Ethernet device:
route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth1
Add the default gateway
route add default gw 192.168.1.1 eth1
Set the second card to load on boot:
To get the eth1 card to load up with the correct configuration on boot
we need to make some changes to the files loaded at boot up. To view
the files that Linux loads when booting, you need to look at the
inittab file located on RedHat in /etc.
Use a text editor to view the file. This will show which files are
called at startup.
The first file to edit is /etc/conf.modules
Add the following line to the file:
alias eth1 3c90x (or your choice of driver)
Next you need to add a file for the configuration of the card in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
In this directory you should see ifcfg-eth0 copy this file and rename
it ifcfg-eth1 and change the parameters using vi or any text editor.
The file should look like the following:
DEVICE=eth1
IPADDR=192.168.0.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.0.0
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
(Note: you may need to add the gateway parameter)
Make sure to save the file in /etc/sysconfig/ network-scripts
Next you need to get the cards to load on boot. In /etc edit the
lilo.conf file and add the following to the bottom of the file:
append="ethernet=0,0,eth0 ethernet=0,0,eth1"
Shutdown and restart Linux. You should see the Ethernet cards
detected during the boot process.
Good Luck.

The driver to be used is that for NE2000. When I installed de220 I
had to make
sure that it was not in Plug-and-Play mode (you do that using the
software
supplied with the board) and specify in your /etc/conf.modules the IO
address
it'll be using (I did not have to specify the IRQ, but I don't think it
will ruin things
if you specify that as well.)

Date: Mon, 29 Mar 1999 16:48:09 GMT
I had the same problem using 2 pci cards, the solution That finally
worked for me , thsi is using 2.0.36 kernal, was to add the following
to the lilo.conf file in /etc/sysconfig :
append="ethernet=0,0,eth0 ethernet=0,0,eth1"
For ISA you need to change the 0,0 to IRQ, IO
ie append="ethernet=5,0x280,eth0"
Also you need to add aliases for the cards in /etc/conf.modules
i.e. alias eth1 3c59x (Or your choice of driver)
For the isa cards you also have to add an IO reference
alias eth1 3c509
options io=0x280

Subject: Redirect packets to web server
Date: Tue, 23 Mar 1999 10:06:09 GMT
Hi, hoping someone can help me,
I've got a gateway running linux connected to an ADSL connection. I use an
ipchain MASQ to allow my 192.169.x.x boxes to use the internet. One of these
boxes is running linux with Apache. All of my internal boxes can bring up my
web page by typing the IP address of the www server into a browser
(192.168.0.2). I need Apache to service requests from the internet.
I figured the best way to do this would be to create an INPUT ipchain on the
gateway. So I tried this with the following command (with xx being my net
ip):
ipchains -A input -p tcp -s xx.xx.xx.xx 80 -j REDIRECT -d 192.168.0.2 80
Didn't work. Outside addresses cannot make a connection with the www server.
Beyond this, I tried a billion other things and every variation of each that I
could come up with.
Any help would be appreciated ...

I realize now, that I didn't make it clear that my WinNT shares physically
reside on another PC on my peer-to-peer network. Sorry.
I don't want to run a NFS server on the NT machine, so I can't mount the
shares automatically via fstab. Instead, I'm using the smbfs utility, and,
of the 3 automount utilities I know of, it seems that only the amd utility
is capable of dealing with the smbmount command. If not for that, I would
be flying with either autofs or automount.
Is there anything else you can think of?

Subject: Re: Radius server timeout
According to my 3com dialup pool that's talking to my cistron radiusd on
linux, radius uses 1645/UDP for auth, and 1646/UDP for accounting.
Haven't used the PAM stuff for redhat, tho. Assuming the NT radius
server is setup similar to the linux ones, you need to add a line to
your clients file with the IP address of the linux box and a shared
secret so they can connect. I think radius works only with an explicit
entry for each host to auth to it, for security purposes.

This is where things like the Cobalt Qube come in, providing essentially a

easy enough- $50 on pricewatch will get you a bare Celeron 266 that with good
heatsinking ($20), BX chipset motherboard ($100), and PC100 SDRAM will easily

Why only 96 Mb? 128 Mb CAS 3 PC100 is about $170?

Matrox AGP G200 8 Mb ($85) has great 2-D performance and driver support, though
you will need to upgrade at least to Xfree86 version 3.3.3.1 for it and most of
the newer cards...

SB16 is still one of the best supported and performing cards available for what

Not cost effective anymore. Get at least something like a Maxtor 8.4 Gb ($135)
for about the same price you'd be able to get the 4 Gb one at www.tjt.com

don't bother with it yet for Linux, and you may wish to wait for windows too if

What job are you doing that you may need this? Could not a CD-RW do this job
also? The best tape drives are quite expensive, and the cheaper ones may cause
you much more hairloss, especially if your were trusting any mission-critical to

>Dual CPUs
Not really much more expensive if you were doing something that will make use of
it? Many good dual boards will also have usable on-board peripherals too,
lowering your costs further. You could even do Dual-Celerons on the cheap if
you were technically inclined to to the surgery neccessary.... Write or post
for more info if interested.

You seemed to miss the most important parts of the specs--- What do you want
this machine to be capable of doing? You could put all that hardware together,
and not even load an OS on it if you just wanted bragging rights to say that you
had it... :-))
I've built many machines on the 300A Celeron platform (all running at 450 Mhz)
that were Linux compatible for less than $1200, had only 64 Mb Ram, 17"
monitor, 8.4 Gb hard drive, and otherwise exceeded your requirements, and though
I built these for customers who wanted to run Windose (-$100 w/o), nearly all
you ask for could still be done for less than $1600 easily, but your application
and needs should dictate where the extras should go.

Hmmm... I don't think you can specify "115200" as a portspeed in pppd. I
think you need to specify 38400 and then map that to 115200 with:
'setserial /dev/ttySx spd_vhi'. You may be connecting faster than 9600

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to set up a multi-home linux machine (RedHat 5.2), with
little success so far. I am dialing my ISP using dip, and it all
connects correctly so that I can browse, ftp etc from the linux
box. I'd also like to be able to browse, ftp etc from the other
two machines on my network, both NT machines. How do I get
linux to pass packets between eth0 and ppp0 so that the other
machines on the network can see the internet also.
Thanks,
Trevor.

Depending on when it came off the line, it has either a Intel or a tlan
chip. The tlan can be installed quite easily after the system is up with an
"insmod tlan duplex=2" command. However, the tlan is a slow, cpu intensive
chip. If you are going to hammer this thing, you may want another card.
The Intel version is quite good, however.
