hi there,
i am rather confused to as why are they sometimes more than one hosts in a
system. i hope you can help me on this. thanks.
Q: what are the advantages of having a multi-homed host connecting two or
more subnets that are already connected via a router-bridge ?

Being a sad git, and replying to my own post, http://www.lwn.net/ has
some good stuff on this. I think maybe this is the start of the
counter-attack by MS to the admitted threat of Linux to the server
market NT "owns".
Cheers, Laurie.

If this still doesn't help - as it was in my case - then install you own
DNS-Server (named). (I had still dial-outs when opening outlook-express)
An example for a DNS-Setup you can find here:

Look at the 'Mindcraft Certification' section. Sponsored by Microsoft.
[They stitch up a Sun E450 in a similar fashion.]
My guess is that the results were obtained by being extremely adept in
setting up WinNT (presumably with advice from the sponsors on how
precisely to optimise for this benchmark) and not at all adept at
setting up Red Hat. Screwy kernel configuration, perhaps?
Interestingly, when ZDNet Labs carried out similar test without
sponsorship from Microsoft, the results were significantly in favour of
Linux. I think the conclusion to be drawn is that Microsoft sponsorship
slows Linux systems down.

Date: Thu, 15 Apr 1999 10:06:13 GMT
Hi,
Ive got RedHat 5.0 Linux set up as my Primary DNS server and Mail server
too. The secondary Name server is located at my ISP connected via Lease line.
The setup was workin fine till last week when the users started gettin a very
slow telnet and mail response from this server. After tracing it found that
there was some problem with the Primary name server as all the name resolution
was done by Secondary server located at my ISP. Only those clients
who had an entry in the /etc/hosts file seems to be connecting well.
When I do a nslookup, I get :
"Can't find server name for address 'my ip address': No information"
default server: 'My isp's domain name'
Ive also checked the scripts. But everything seems
fine.Can anybody figure out the problem and respond . Any help is highly
appreciated.
Thanks

Try actually *trying* the redHat install for a change.
No flames intended, but you have obviously not tried to do what you are
saying is not easy.
RH installs require *less* questions to be answered than NT, take less
reboots, and less time.

Subject: Routing problem
I have big problem to get the routing table to work properly on my
macine.
(here's how I set the network up :)
netconfig (Slackware)
ip-adress: 157.157.168.204
network adress:157.157.168.192
broadcast adress:157.157.168.254
default route:157.157.168.254
(the network is divided into subnets, thats why the adresses are like
that)
(now I load the module for the ethernet adapter:)
#insmod eepro io=0x300 irq=9
eth0: Intel 82595-based lan card at 0x300, 00:A0:C9:3B:A9:B7, irq 9,
10Base2
(Then I set the network up as bescribed in Ethernet HOWTO)
#ifconfig eth0 157.157.168.204 netmask 255.255.255.192 up
eth0: set Rx mode to 1 adresses
eth0: set Rx mode to 1 adresses
eth0: set Rx mode to 1 adresses
eth0: set Rx mode to 1 adresses
#route add -net 157.157.168.192 netmask 255.255.255.192 eth0
#route add default gw 157.157.168.254 eth0
(Then I check the routing table:)
netstat -rn
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt
Iface
157.157.168.192 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.192 U 1500 0 0
eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 3584 0 0
lo
0.0.0.0 157.157.168.254 0.0.0.0 UG 1500 0 0
eth0
But according to "Running linux" (2nd edition) by Welsh&Kaufman the
Gateway
column should point at my own IP-adress (157.157.168.204) instead of
0.0.0.0
But I dont know how to configure the system to do so.
On this point i can ping to my own machine- 157.157.168.204 but if I try
to ping other machines on the network, then the command line freezes
until I do control-c and the it reports 100% packet loss.
I've tried to configure the system for over a month.....

If your Samba version is pre 2.x, it doesn't support encrypted passwords.
So you'll hav eto tell the NT system not to use encrypted passwords.
Quoted from /usr/doc/samba-1.9.17p2-2/WinNT.txt:
All versions of Windows NT prior to 4.0 Service Pack 3 could negotiate
plain text (clear text) passwords. Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 3 changed
this default behaviour so it now will only handle encrypted passwords.
The following registry entry change will re-enable clear text password
handling:
Run regedt32.exe and locate the hive key entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\CurrentControlSet\Services\rdr\parameters\
Add the following value:
EnablePlainTextPassword:REG_DWORD=1
Unquote.
This did the trick at my network.

(last repeated 4 times)
I looked into /usr/src/linux/include/net/ip_masq.h and there is a line
#define PORT_MASQ_BEGIN 61000
So above port 63030 would be in the range of the masqued ports.
Is there something wrong with masquerading or was this a different issue?
BTW kernel 2.0.36, IP-Masquerading on with dynamic-IPs, no problems with
networking at all, my firewall rules are documented at
http://www.toetsch.at/de/tips/linux/99/08.htm
if it does matter.

A multi-homed host is often used to create a firewall.
It would also be needed if you need to implement IP masquerading, so your
local network
appears as 1 IP to the rest of the world. IP masq. is often part of the
firewall.

Are you using bind 8? If yes, try this:
1. As root type "tail -f /var/log/messages".
2. In another windows as root: if DNS is not running, start it up. If it
is running, type "ndc restart".
3. Watch the messages in the first window for some hint as to why your DNS
is not working correctly.
I am betting a zone file is munged and not loading correctly.

Try running kppp with terminal based authentication. Go to

Set Authentication to terminal based. This should show you every step that

for some more debugging information.

[root@mummy named]# cat named.hosts
@ IN SOA localhost. root.localhost. (
1997022700 ; Serial
28800 ; Refresh

3600000 ; Expire

IN NS localhost.
9 IN PTR mummy.monster.net.
3 IN PTR frankenstein.monster.net.
1 IN PTR router.monster.net.
This is where the records for your local hosts go. The first number is
the
last number for the subnet. i.e frankenstien is 10.0.0.9. Pay
attention to
the trailing dot (the last dot in mummy.monster.net.) It's necessary,
and
indicates that this is for the top level domain. In most of the net
it's
assumed. This is where your reverse mapping occurs. The forward
mapping
occurs in ..
[root@mummy named]# cat monster.net.db
@ IN SOA localhost. root.localhost. (
1999030201 ; Serial
28800 ; Refresh
14400 ; Retry
3600000 ; Expire
86400 ) ; Minimum
IN NS localhost.
mummy IN A 10.0.0.9
frankenstein IN A 10.0.0.3
router IN A 10.0.0.1
Not that these are the "A" records that you see when you doing an
nslookup. This is where your MX records would go if you wanted to have a
mail host for your domain.
I don't think I'm forgetting anything. When you shutdown and restart
DNS, it should suck all of the new information over from a remote
domain.
Good luck

Subject: 'Network unreachable' Help!
Date: Thu, 15 Apr 1999 11:48:00 +0200
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I receive "Network unreachable" message on ping
after I recompiled my kernel (without changing something in source)
I did it by next commands:
>make dep
>make clean
>make zlilo
>cp /vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz
>reboot
I check my network configuration it seems to be o.k
What can be a problem ?
P.S i receive same message on ping to myself IP.
