If you can get web pages using "localhost," I don't think Apache is the
problem. You mention that you have tried using your "DNS address," but
you also say you get a dynamic address. You can't have a DNS address
without a registered static IP address - DNS can't keep up with the IP
addresses you get each time you connect.
Try putting an "IP name" entry in /etc/hosts. That's how localhost is
working, I'll bet. The name won't be any good outside your box, but
it'll let you check the web server.

Hi-
I just finish setting up Linux server with IP masq thanks to A LOT OF HELP
FROM THIS NEWSGROUP. THANKS TO ALL OF THEM!!!
I have a window95 machine that used to run dialup networking by itself.
Now it's hooked up to the server but everytime I launch network-related
program such as netscape or telnet dialup networking pops up. How can I
"tell" it that now it's hooked up to the network. I set up basic stuff-Ip
address, DNS etc but still not successful "teaching" win95 about the new
ethernet connection. If anyone knows how to work this out, pleas teach
me. Thanks.

The ones I've seen have an MIO menu where the network options are set but
perhaps this is a different model. If you have an external box you
have to run the Jetadmin program or use bootp to get started.

If it is that old you will likely have trouble with the lpr emulation
if that is that way you plan to send jobs.

You should be able to use BOOTP to assign the IP address, subnet mask,
and default router. Your linux distribution probably includes a
version of the isc dhcpd program that will handle this using a
'hardware address' declaration containing the ethernet address to
identify the device. Once the IP address is assigned you can telnet
to it to set any other options you need to change.

If you have a windows machine on the network you might be able to
use the jetadmin program to update the firmware.

Make sure that you have the DHCP client installed with
#rpm -q dhcpcd
which should report the version of DHCP client that you have
installed.Try:
#rpm -e dhcpd
to remove the DHCP daemon.

You have to turn off demand dialling on the Windows box. If you have a
current Windows winsock, there'll be a checkbox in the "Internet" applet in
your Control Panel.
Then you need to set up a gateway address so your Windows box will use
the LAN connection to the Linux box. Control Panel / Networking / Adapters ->
your LAN card / TCP/IP settings, gateway.
You do NOT have to delete or even disable dial-up networking; just turn off
demand-dialing and your apps will find and use the Linux box due to the
default gateway you defined above. (And if for any reason you still want to
use the modem on the Windows box instead of going through the network, you can
still dial out manually. That will temporarily override your default gateway
and your apps will find the local modem.)

If you want to masquarde use:
#ipchains -P forward MASQ
to test things out. Once you have masq'rding working, you can slowly
close it down with a more useful firewall. I have had fun tracing
strageness back to the firewall when I didn't think thing through.
There should be a HOWTO for IP-Masqurading in the (for RH5.x)
/usr/doc/HOWTO/mini/ dir.
Good luck.

If you want current versions, Red Hat's rpms are not the way to go. Red Hat
always lags several months behind the Linux community at large. If you want
to install sendmail 8.9.3, do yourself a favor. Use rpm -e <package> to get
rid of all you sendmail "packages" (rpm -qa | grep -e sendmail will tell
you which you have installed), download sendmail 8.9.3 from
ftp://ftp.sendmail.org compile it, and modify your rc files to load that
instead of the standard package install. This also applies to apache,
wu-ftpd, innd and all the other packages you use.

Subject: DNS behind a firewall?

What is the proper way of setting up a DNS server behind a firewall?
Essentially, I'd like to have the nameserver resolve the names of all
internal hosts as well as everything outside. The way I have it
configured now (primary DNS) on the firewall, I am getting all sorts of
zone transfers which I really don't need/want. Can't I set it up to
simple cache the results of requests to the outside while being the
primary server for internal hosts?
Thanks,
Mike.

inetd is probably already listening on the smbd port. You'll need to

Maybe you just need to remove the binding between the "dial-up adapter" and
TCP/IP in the Win95 "network components installed" window. Can't hurt to try.

That's not good. My 2.0.2 server shows up and stays up in our network.
(I'm running RedHat 5.2), but my NT servers (and browsemasters), are all
running SP3.)
Heck, I'm even publishing my samba server to TWO other NT domains. One, on
my LAN, one on our WAN. (again, all are SP3). (Our workstations are all
SP4, but our NT servers are all still SP3).

Wrong title (mgetty?) and wrong newsgroup. I think the group you are
looking for is something like comp.protocols.smb.
One thing you need for browsing in Network Neighborhood is a valid guest
account in samba (one listed in /etc/passwd) even if it does not have a
password. You also may need to disable encrypted passwords in Win98
registry to access password protected shares, but I am not familiar with
Win98 and the docs or proper newsgroup could fill you in on that.

Does anyone know of a solution to supporting printer-fax combo's with
Linux? I have the following setup:
[HP OfficeJet LX] <-- [Linux2.0.36 + Samba] <--> [Win98]
The Linux machine has an ISDN card in it, and a modem attached. This
means I have 3 options for faxing:
1. Through the ISDN card. Documentation I've seen so far suggests that
this is a no-go option.
2. Through the modem. Works from the Linux box using mgetty+sendfax. I
can't send a fax from Win98 though.
3. Through the OfficeJet. I have no documentation on how to make this
work.
What I want to do is create documents on the Win98 machine, e.g. in
MS-Word, select either "File->Print" or "file-> Send To", and get my
document sent, either through the modem or the OfficeJet.
I tried browsing HP service manuals, but found nothing on accessing the
fax mechanism.
I tried setting up a 'faxprint' section in /etc/printcap, but I can't
get Samba to work with it.
Any help appreciated.

I can see the bios, and the bios installs, just can't fdisk, or anything.
It tells me that no drives are present. With linux, it fails to load the
module for the adaptec 294X .

Yes, it most assuredly can be done.
I currently have four systems on a LAN that can access the net through my
Linux gateway box (which is one of those four systems). I have an
additional system serving as a DMZ box (and a 2nd IP) just in case my
Linux box needs to be taken out of service for any reason.
All of the rest of my machines are Win98 boxes because that's where I
earn my money (programming). I chose Linux for my gateway box because
it's the best tool for the job - I just wish Linux was less traumatic to
my aging brain.
I've got a new P2 system ready to replace the existing Linux box as soon
as Slackware releases their 4.0 CD with the 2.2.x kernel on it.

The one above is _not_ for 286.

Subject: Can I do this from a laptop?
Date: Mon, 12 Apr 1999 10:23:08 +0800
I am trying to network my laptop, but not sure if I can do this. Okay,
this is what I want to do.
Desktop: 486 8Meg, running RH 5.1, with 3Com 10BT NIC installed
Laptop, Pentium120 8Meg, running Win95, with no NIC.
I want to be able to share files stored in the desktop from the laptop,
perhaps something like the Samba. I did try connect the desktop from my
laptop thro a null modem cable. Works great as far as using it as a text
terminal. But what I really want to do is, the laptop is to run Win95,
but able to get/share some files located in the destop running Linux,
and maybe run some x-windows applications. Yes, I know I can just buy a
pcmcia nic and stick it in, but I am considering other alternatives at
the moment.
Any idea how can I do this? Any help is appreciated.
