Hello, I've installed (SuSE) Linux now, and it kicks butt! I am though
having a problem setting up my network, so I need help from Linux experts..
I've set up eth0, and I'm able to send/receive packets on eth0.
ppp0 is set up; it dials out and gets listed in /proc/net/dev. I can
"tcpdump" from it.
Though when, for instance, trying "ping 128.214.1.1" (ftp.funet.fi), I get
"Network is unreachable". Same with telnet and ftp. What's my problem? I'm
sure it's got a simple solution!
Am I supposed to direct ping/ftp/telnet/www to ppp0 or something?
Many thanks in advance,

Hi,
ICQ is probably the best bet. You can set up your own server, I recall
seeing something about on their page. But what's wrong with Talk? There
are nice Mac and Windows talk clients around, with windows, menus, the
whole bit. No need for a terminal.

Subject: IP Masquerading Help Required
Date: 9 Apr 1999 13:32:13 GMT
Hello
I am using IP masquerading to enable my department (3 Win98 PC's) to
connect to a single ISP account. The gateway is running RedHat 5.1 and
uses an IP router to establish the ISDN connection to the ISP.
All is working well, in fact I am using it right now, apart from the fact
that outgoing connections are being made for no apparent reason. I believe
it is some setting on the clients as the connect time does not increase
over night whilst these are turned off. The clients are running TCP/IP and
the IPX/SPX (for our Novell server) protocols and have been set to use
Linux as the gateway and the Proxy server.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can remove these unwanted outgoing
calls?

The via-rhine driver is the one to use; I didn't have to
set any IRQs for the card (it looked like the IRQ was assigned
by the PnP BIOS in the initial startup). After installing the
driver, watch your initial linux startup text to make sure that
something with "eth0" and "via-rhine" pops up.

I have a very similar problem, using a PCMCIA V90 modem on my laptop
(Red Hat 5.2, kernel 2.0.36). The problem seems only to affect RPM
files, though - if I download the RPM file on another machine, and
gzip it (which hardly changed the size at all, of course), I can then
retrieve it via ftp over my modem. Have you tried downloading
similarly-sized .gz files?
The modem seems to be at fault, since I had no problems when I tried a
different one. I wonder if the problem is due to buggy compression
software that is somehow confused by a pattern of data in RPM files.
What is the make of your modem?
I've posted a message on comp.os.linux.misc and uk.comp.os.linux, but
unfortunately noone has replied yet.

ip_masq_icq.o is also available and more probably its all I need up there
Converting ipfwadm to ipchains (kernel 2.2.x) is easy, same commands

Size seems not to be the issue. I've even experienced the problem on
binaries (not compressed at all.) The same files download fine via Win98
with the same modem, so I suspect the modem is not the problem.

Was your other modem a V.90 as well?

Try http://tcu-inc.com/mark/articles/Home.html for some helpful
instructions and pointers to useful resources.
I don't think you'd be best served by using the Win98 box as your
gateway. You'd be better off IMHO by using your Linux box to establish
an Internet connection, and point your Win98 box to it as its Internet
gateway. In this way you can, at minimum, set up TCP wrappers on your
Linux box to provide a modicum of security while on the Internet. With
the Win98 box as your gateway, you're throwing the doors wide open.
I can give you more specifics if you need 'em, but this should get you
started.

That is, if you have the time and want to go to the trouble, and also
assumes that you have the CPU/memory resources to run your own DNS. Most
home/non-technical users don't, and BIND is a fairly memory intensive
daemon.
There's really little point in running your own DNS unless you are hosting a
domain with it anyway. If you want to run your own DNS, set your providers
DNS as a forwarder so that your DNS forwards requests to your ISPs if it
does not know the answer.

"Should" is not a good enough reason. Why not? Try doing that as above
with my provider, domain: mira.net or another: werple.net.au
The nameservers that customers are to use are not those listed in the whois
database as authoritative for our domain. Server assigned gives us
203.9.190.17 and 203.9.190.18 - and that's not how it's listed in the whois
database. This approach may/should work, but may not be quite correct
either. Check with your ISP what their DNS numbers are.
> -or-
> once you have a dns entry for ANY domain, they are globaly valid
> regardless of what isp you connect to.
No. DNS records are designed to be able to be changed by administrators who
run the primary DNS for a domain without the end user being affected. If
you add static/manual entries, you break that dynamic feature of DNS. While
the DNS entry may be true when you enter it, if the DNS administrator
changes the DNS record for that domain, you're left with the wrong DNS
details. That's partly why DNS records have serial numbers which are
incremented on DNS changes.
Until very recently, it hasn't been possible to use server assigned DNS with
Linux. It has been a limitation of the pppd package, but this has been
implemented in 2.3.6 onwards.
In 2.3.6 onwards it's pretty straightforward to use - read the documentation
that comes with this package for more info (it's fairly readable). Clue:
the DNS numbers now appear in your messages log :)

Ah... you mean just have it send the packets as if they were coming

While I agree with this in principle, it is not a very workable
solution. For example, your chat script should not contain the user
id/password combination because then any user executing "ps ax" at the
right moment would have your id/passwd combination revealed. A far more
secure solution is to have the chat script open a file (read-only by
root) containing this information. If this is the case, then chat will
have to be suid to read this file. Which opens up other security
concerns ...... I think that the best solution to this is to write a
wrapper in c that exec's the start-up script. Then set this wrapper suid
root. This is the same principle used to allow a non-root user to drop
the ppp session.
However ...... the most secure way is to allow only root to do any of
this :^)

> I'm a little frightened now...
We have linux kernel 2.0.x running as nfs server and a bunch of solaris
2.5.1, 2.6 and 7 as nfs clients. I was hoping either it was because
linux 2.0.x has nfs version 2 and/or no lockd that a file newly created
immediately after a directory removal was confused by the nfs client to
be a directory. This happened quite often when I do a complex make or
sometimes even when I checked in files under CVS (or RCS)! And it won't
fix itself even after the normal automount timeout. It eventually will
after a very long timeout or reboot. But when we used another machine
with the 2.2.x kernel with kernel nfs (version 3, I think) and lockd,
the same thing happened. Did anyone out there experienced this before?
Anyone care to comment on what's wrong here?
