Hi Peter,
my suggestions are close to those of "mist". I am a linux
newbie too, but have a similar network. In basic you need to do the
following:
1.) tell eth1 (your internet NIC) the right default gateway:
route add default gw <ip-of-your-ISP-Gateway>
2.) tell your second pc (running windows/linux/etc) that your linux
box with two NICs in it is _your_ default gateyway:
route add default gw 192.168.0.2 ..... for a linux system
or use your network properties for windows systems to setup your
default gateway, which is 192.168.0.2
3.) do the masquarading on your linux box. Perosnally i use (only know
ipfwadm, dont hate me for that)
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.0.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0
so check out the right syntax for ipchains
Note that you have to repeat these steps after each reboot. So use
some autostart mechanism.
And you have to know that ipforwarding and masquerading must be
enabled/allowed/setup in your kernl.
I hope this can help you.
Arash :-)

I believe that there is a utility program distributed with Don Libes'
Expect package that will do this sort of thing. You can find Expect at
www.neosoft.com in the archive. Expect depends on Tcl to some degree, so you
might just want to pick up the neotcl package, which will build the whole kit
and kaboodle. (Did I really just type that? yeesh.)

No. I turned that feature off on my kernell as well as firewalling. I'm

It is not strictly necessary to have a second Ethernet card for this
purpose. What is
required is that you use a separate IP address space (eg. 192.168.x.y) for
the
masqueraded stuff. While it is possible to overlay this address space on
the same
physical Ethernet interface, it is a *BAD* idea. One of the prime reasons
for setting
up masquerading (besides avoiding the cost and delay in applying for your
own IP
address space) is the security provided by `firewalling' or filtering
packets as they
are passed from the public net into your private network. In the case of an
overlaid
single-interface configuration, you can forget about any security for any
machine except
possibly the one performing the masquerading (since it can still filter
things for itself, just
not for any other machine.
IMHO, with the cost of 100Mb/s twisted pair Ethernet cards hovering near
$100 and
10Mb/s cards quite a bit lower, it is a wise investment to go with the
2-card scheme.

Date: Mon, 12 Apr 1999 19:12:29 GMT
With the 2.2 kernel ( I believe any kernel after 2.1.X ) ipportfw and
ipautofw are no longer used. You will have to use ipmasqadm
for example here is an old rule with ipportfw:
ipportfw -A -t24.128.96.66/55111 -R 192.168.1.2/55111
and here is the new rule with ipmasqadm
ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L 24.128.96.66 55111 -R 192.168.1.2 55111
I'm not sure where you can find ipmasqadm but its included with the new
Slackware ;)
I hope this helps

Subject: HDS viewstation x-terminal/bootp?
Date: Mon, 12 Apr 1999 21:12:04 GMT
I'm recently acquired a HDS ViewStation X-terminal (thin-client) from a pile
of stuff that was going to be thrown out. I'm trying to use it as a X-server
to run stuff off my Linux box, but I'm not sure how. When I boot it up it
sends bootp requests (I guess they're broadcast on the network mask spec'd on
the x-terminal). It also tries to TFTP, FTP, or NFS connect to a remote
machine (also specified in the x-terminal OS or bios or whatever) to get
config files. However, at this point, it seems to be looking for proprietary
software that is downloaded to the local PROM's or something.
So, I have a couple questions:
1. What services does bootp provide? Where can I get the source code
to compile and use the bootp daemon on my Linux machine?
2. Has anyone had experience with this type of X-terminal or setting
up any X-terminal?
3. How does XDM fit into all of this?
Please let me know if anyone has answers, or if there is a site that has help
on this stuff. I've been looking all over, but can't seem to find anything
too specific.
Thanks,
Saksiri

It appears that you only accept stuff from (outside) users whose IP
addresses
are 192.0.0.x. This is probably not what you intended. FTP is a bit
tricky in
that it uses one TCP connection for control messages (like login and cd),
and
a different one for data transfers (including the result of the ls
command). You
*DO* have both ports identified in your input list (20 for commands, 21
for data),
so once the IP address becomes acceptable, you'll have less trouble. If
easyfw
permits, you could also (temporarily) add a rule that allows any packet
in, but logs
it in the case that no earlier rule matched. This approach has made my
debugging of
ipfwadm rules quite a bit simpler.

Personally, I use a multi-part scheme; 3-char main purpose, 2-char OS,
3-char location and 2-char 'number'. For example, an NT4 PDC server in
Washington DC would probably be "PDCS4WDC01".
PDC=PDC (*G*), S4=Server 4.0, WDC=WashDC, 01 means its the first (or only)
machine there.
If this were an NT workstation in the same place, try "WKSW4WDC02", and a
Win95 system in the same place might be "WKS95WDC03"
A bit cryptic, but identifies 'em instantly.

before you start the script go to another console and type 'tail -f
/var/log/messages' that will keep a running log in that terminal, then go to
