: There should be a HOWTO for IP-Masqurading in the (for RH5.x)

: Good luck.
: Thomas
Yeah, I read that, but still no luck. I can't ping external
computers, I can only ping stuff on the LAN. I've checked the settings
in triplicate so it's not something I've mis-typed. Two questions:
1) In the /lib/modules/2.2.4/ipv4 directory there's a 'ip_masq_user'
module, should that be loaded? The HOWTO doesn't mention it.
2) The host computer dual-boots Linux & Win98, with a proxy server
running under Win98. The non-host computer is happy when the
proxy server runs: it's set up to use 192.168.0.1:80. Should
I have the masquerading/ipchains listening to a specific port?
Or should I be tryin something as described in the Proxy ARP
HOWTO? Or am I on glue and looking entirely in the wrong
direction? <Some people may claim I'm on glue for using Win98 in
the first place, which is probably true>
I probably should've mentioned all this in the first place. If
this makes things any clearer, let me know. Thanks in advance,
Peter

Have you checked your "/etc/inetd.conf" file? There is a line regarding
ftp that may be commented out. If it is, remove the comment.
Then, either restart inetd (instuctions at the top of the file in the
comment area), or reboot.
I hope this helps!

Did you try switching slots on the bus? Irq's are often assigned differently
according to card position.
Also, if your bios flavor allows, dedicate the available irq's to the pci bus.

What is the motherboard on your system?
The reason I'm asking this is because older 486 m/b can not handle multiple
PCI bus mastering which many of NIC requires. I had this situation with my
old P60/66 m/b and ended up with upgrading it to a newer socket7 board.
Check your m/b manual and NIC's manual and see if PCI bus mastering is
required.
Good luck.

The problem is that you're specifying tcp as the protocol, when actually you
want to forward *ftp*. I'm not sure if ipchains will handle ftp.

Subject: A simple Samba/YP share question.. (fwd)
Date: Mon, 12 Apr 1999 15:08:21 -0400
Hello All,
I'm a samba novice ;(
Saw your "detailed" responses to another newbie questions so I thought I
give you a shout :)
Here is my setup:
I've got 2 Linux boxes. One is running Ypserv and handles the
authentication, the other is a 486 33mhz running ypbind(slave) and it
is my printserver. The print server is also running the latest samba
release as a daemon (smbd -D).
It has two printers attached via parallel ports and each is shared
service.. I know this b/c when I do *smbclient -L "myhostname"* , they
come up as shared clients.
So each authenticated user can actually mount their " \" directory..
They don't actually have accts on the printserver(don't have the disk
space).
I've got 10 NT 4.0 boxes which need to print to these shared printers..
However, printing only occurs when I "physically" mount the home
directory via "\\hostname\home_dir".
I want samba to offer the network printers as a share device to each
authenticated user automatically.
Should be transparent to the user..
How do I do this?
Thanks in advance..

Nope. All it does is set you're home dir to / it doesn't give you any
additional permissions to that directory. Many unices include SunOS do this.

In the Linux 2.0 kernel, IP firewalling support provides
traffic volume accounting through the ipfwadm -A accounting
rules. I'd expect that the ipchains support in Linux 2.2
would provide the same.

The 3Com card comes with a program specifically for disabling pnp. It runs from
a batch file called pnpdsabl.bat (on disk two if it's a newer card)
And FYI, that pnp/OS selection in your bios means *Windows*. This should be set
to *NO* if you run any other OS besides Windows. Microsoft has their hooks so
far into the hardware industry, it isn't funny.
P.S.

BROADCAST=207.xxx.xxx.xxx

assuming I have the proper address's in there(which I am positive I do)
it should work.
my /etc/conf.modules looks like this

My ISP uses assigned DNS, but I just called them to get the DNS server's
IP and they gave it to me. You can also use any DNS server you wish.
It doesn't have to be your ISP's server. Ask some friends for their
ISP's DNS IP's and use them instead.
Good Luck,

This works for me:

Pppd then uses the addresses provided by the ISP and demand dialing works.
In addition you need to set ip_dynaddr.

The SSL version is a comercial product, namely RedHat Secure Webserver.
Upgrading the Secure Webserver will cost money, unless there is something
I don't know. However, I need to use some feature from Apache 1.3.
Actually I would like to install it from an rpm distribution, for it will
be easily manageable. Apparently it is not possible, right?
