I think most people are installing a second network card so that they can
set up a firewall/router.

Subject: Cant find driver for Compex EN2000 ethernet adapter
Date: Thu, 15 Apr 1999 02:04:18 GMT
I am attempting to put a redhat linux 52 machine onto the network and i am
using a Compex EN2000 ISA ethernet card. I am having trouble finding a driver
that works for this card. I also have a DEC DE204 eth card (ISA also), which
may be broken btw, and there is no driver for it either, although i havent
tried it yet. Any thoughts? Maybe someone can tell me some good IO ports and
IRQs to try with the generic driver on either of these cards? Any help that
can be offered is much appreciated. Also i am relatively new to linux
networking, so semi-explicit instructions are very helpful.
Thank you in advance

You do not want to run IP masqerade in this case. You want one NIC on the
Linux box to be the route to your local subnet and the other to go
everywhere else. Point the inside machines to the linux box as the default
gateway.
Depending on the addresses you were given you may have to do some tricky
stuff with netmasks. If worse comes to worse, you can hard code the
routing in /etc/sysconfig/static-routes
for each host put in an entry like:
any net 192.168.1.12 netmask 255.255.255.255 gw eth1

Subject: RedHat Apache problem
Date: Wed, 14 Apr 1999 23:21:22 -0700
Hi,
I am having problem with "httpd" under RedHat 5.2. I am trying to experiment
with "httpd" following
"Apache the Definitive Guide" (O'Reilly book, page 29)
First, default installation of "httpd" works OK - I can reachhome page at
address http://localhost
Then I am killing existing version of "httpd" belonging to root by
kill PID
Now I am making new directory /usr/www/site.toddle
It contains subdirectories conf, htdocs, logs
Directory "conf" contain the followig file "httpd.conf" (the authors in the
book claim that
single configuration file is the standard of Apache 1.3.3):
User webuser
Group webgroup
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot /usr/www/site.toddle/htdocs
When I am firing up new httpd server by "httpd -d /usr/www/site.toddle",
I see through "ps -aux" that it works.
The problem is Netscape to the address "http://localhost" returns the error
404 -- unable to locate URL
Please help. Thank you, Andrei

There is a version 2.3.7 of pppd out. You might try downloading that
and see if that helps. I just upgraded a Slackware distribution
a week or so ago and it worked okay. The kernel sources I used were
version 2.0.36.
The pppd software can be found here:

If you don't want to compile it, you can always just download
the sendmail Slackware package. Go to ftp.cdrom.com and dig
your way down to the Slackware directories. The package is
located in the N series of directories.
I'd backup anything important first and then use pkgtool to
remove the old package and then use pkgtool to install the new
package.

Subject: print to NT from within linux shell
Date: Wed, 14 Apr 1999 23:44:06 GMT
I am a newbie to linux, I am trying to set my linux station so it can print
to a printer server which is a NT box. I have RH5.2 and from using its
printtools from the xwindows I have configured the printer (which is LJ4000)
the details are below:
Names (name1 |name2|...) = lp0
Spool Directory = /var/spool/lpd/lp0
File limit in Kb (0 = no limit) = 0
Hostname of Printer Server = servername
IP number of Server (optional) = IP_address
Printer Name = HPLaserJ.3
user = administrator
password = amdinpassword
input filter = *auto* - PostScript
with suppress headers checked
I can print the test pages but I am not sure how to use this printer to print
from within my shell windows like if I want to send a man page to this
printer what command do I have to type or do I have to do any more settings
to make it work. In shell when I type just lpr it gives 'lpr:lp: unknown
printer' message. My pintcap file looks like this, ##PRINTTOOL3## SMB
POSTSCRIPT 300x300 letter{} PostScript Default {} lp0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp0:\ :mx#0:\ :sh:\ :if=/var/spool/lpd/lp0/filter:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/lp0/acct:\ :lp=/dev/null:
I would greatly appreciate if someone can help me out with this. Thanks again

Subject: COM->IP Virtual Kernal Device Driver?
Date: Wed, 14 Apr 1999 18:20:57 -0800
I am looking for a way to convert a COM port to an IP address for
outbound initiated connections (though, need to send and receive). I
have found a few utilities for 95/98/NT that will do this, but I need
the flexibility that they can't provide. It would be preferable that
this be a device driver, which I think means it is going to need kernel
level support...and it will have to work from within DOSEMU (which, I
believe it will if it is a device driver). Has anyone developed such a
thing?
Thanks,

In "netwatch", you can examine the MAC address of ALL IP machines that are
transmitting. If someone spoofs an IP from another MAC, "netwatch" will see
this and register it as a BAD MAC. These BAD MAC addresses are also available.
If you want their PHYSICAL location, the only way (that I am aware of) to
determine it is using your own mapping of machine to MAC to IP and noting the
physical location. Netwatch can give you part of this list, the MAC.
BTW, the latest version of "netwatch" is version 0.8e. If you are using a 0.7
series, you will not have the BAD MAC notice.

1. I got ppp dialup working, but it's not setting my defaultroute. If i set

how do I remove it from net0 (where do I look)? What startup/init scripts
would I look at in RH 52?
2. I downloaded diald to a subdirectory on my linux server, and ried
installing, but get an error when running "make depend". The error states:
Makefile:46: *** commands commence before first target. stop.
What does this mean? How do I correct?
