No way. If you can't change then so that each has a unique MAC
address then you'll have to put each one on a separate port of a
router. That's a _router_ not just a bridge/switch/hub.

If these thin clients are running Linux perhaps "ifconfig hw".
Failing that an old "junk box" 486 with Linux and lots of ethernet
cards is a cheap router.

Wrong. Ron wrote that he's got a external jetdirect, so the printer config
will not work. The windows Configuration will though.
What you also can do is telnet into the thing. It has a default IP-Address
which is 192.0.0.192 as far as I know (find it on HP we site).

I want to set up a my S.u.S.e Linux 6.0 Server as dial-in server, for

I have problems with the server to respond to the modem user after

Subject: DSL masquerading firewall craziness
Date: 08 Apr 1999 11:28:49 GMT
So here's the situation. I'm using IP masq. My LAN is setup with
fakey 192.168.0.x addresses. I have a gateway machine running Linux
(2.0.36) with two ethernet cards in it. eth0 is connects to my DSL
(216.99.11.96), which is the default gateway, and eth0 is set to
192.168.0.1. IP masquerading is enabled. On the 192.168.0.x side (eth1),
I
have several windows machines, a mac, and two unix boxes. I am port
forwarding mail (port 25) to 192.168.0.5 (the mail server) and a bunch
of other things, including www, to 192.168.0.3. DNS serving is
currently being done by the gateway machine, but I'll probably move
that to another machine. At this point, everything seems to be
working. What a struggle!
Here's what I would like to do and can't figure out.
Right now, anyone can hit on any port on the DSL/eth0 side
(216.99.11.96), so if they hit on any of the forwarded ports, the
traffic is automatically forwarded inside the firewall. I would like
to control this, restricting it on a host-by-host basis. It's okay
for anyone in the universe to use the web server, but I want to lock
down who is allowed to hit on my pop server and my ssh server, etc.
That's one thing. I don't think tcpwrappers is enough.
Secondly, since I have IP addresses with static routes from my
provider (Pac Bell), I would like to be able to use the rest of them.
I have a block 216.99.11.96-30. So I would like to be able to hook
another machine up on my LAN, as say, 216.99.11.97, and have my
gateway do routing for it over the DSL. The reason I want to do this
is so I can make a "bastion host." I want to have my good machines
behind the IP masq firewall and all the public services all on a
machine that I don't care about on 216.99.11.97. And do away with
port forwarding. I'm ultra-paranoid about hackers these days. But
this is a long-range goal. I am much more concerned about the first
problem.
Does any of this make sense? Any suggestions or ideas or help along
these lines would be SUPER appreciated.

file in the Windows directory and make sure
that either there is NO entry for the Linux
machine or if there is an entry that its IP
address is correct. I had an incorrect entry
on one machine from a time when my Linux box
had been assigned a different IP address. Once
I removed the entry AND RESTARTED (very important)
the machine, viola! I could log in just fine.

Subject: firewalls (ie: fwtk) vs. Ip Masquerading...
Date: Thu, 08 Apr 1999 16:01:13 GMT
I'm kinda new at all this firewall stuff, and am trying to gather enough
information to make appropriate choices for my network.
Here's my thing - I would like to place my LAN online 24hrs/day instead of
using modems in the multiple pc's. So the theory is simple - put in a
machine (firewall) that will block access (prevent hackers, etc.) to my
internal LAN. Ideally, I'd like to use a Linux machine to accomplish this
task.
What I have come to understand so far, are the obvious principles -
1) the need for 2 network cards - 1 connected to the Internet, one connect
to my internal Lan.
2) Using a net address of 192.168.xxx.xxx for my internal network
Now, however, is where I get confused. I don't understand the difference
between using something like the Firewall ToolKit (FWTK) and/or a socks
proxy server, versus simply using IP Masquerading.
My goal is to allow all internal traffic out - I do not need to block access
to the internet from within my LAN. At the same time, however, I must
ensure safety of my LAN by not allowing any random access in. Of course, I
want all
the standard protocols to work from every machine on my LAN:
ftp, telnet, http, pop, smtp, etc...
Furthermore, I would like to eventually set up my firewall in such a manner
that I can allow a remote secure (non-anonymous) login into one particular
machine on my lan - ie: telnetting, rsh, and/or ftp to that machine.
Whether or not that must be done in one or two steps (ie: login to the
firewall machine first, and then jump over) is not a big deal...
Can someone please give me some advice... ?
Thanks!
Eric

Try defining your nntp server variable in your pine config as "localhost."

On our network, our new Linux 2.0 (suse 6 & Redhat 5.2)
have trigered a well known bug about the Solaris 2.5.1 NFS Server.
the problem happens when a program make an unlink()
I've heard that some Solaris patch, and some "cluster of patches"
do correct this problem.
I'm sure my administrator would prefer this to upgrading to solaris 2.6&+
does anybody have some reference to these patches, clusters, or even to
bug reports, in order to transmit it to my administrator.
are there any patches for linux 2.0, so I can avoid using 2.2 kernel.
I've heard about reducing the read and write size for NFS access,
but is this usefull for my problem.

Use Minicom to connect
Open it and use <ctrl><A> <Z> this will get you the help menu under minicom and
there (option D) you can type in username, password and phone number.
Good luck.

I believe ppp-2.3.6 and ppp-2.3.7 are capable of doing this.

Greetings all,
I am new to linux but I just got my linux box to work as a gateway for
my other two windows boxes. I have RedHat 5.2 with all the stock
modules (ie I haven't downloaded anything yet). Everything seems to
work fine, but when I started quake and logged on to a server with both
windows boxes, my ping went from 90 to 600! (cable modem :)
My linux box is a Pentium 166 with 32 megs of ram, so I should have
plenty of power for routing several computers. I must be doing
something wrong, so If some of you could give me some pointers, I would
greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

Jim..
have a look at the mini howto's/howto's in /usr/doc/HOWTO/mini. I recall seeing
a doc 'IP-Tunnelling' That should help you.
