Subject: PROBLEM: Installing Slackware 3.6 via NFS from Win98 box
Date: 12 Apr 1999 03:32:15 GMT
When I try to install Slackware 3.6 on my Linux box, since my CD-ROM drives
died, I installed Omni-NFS on another Win98 box on my small network. I got
Slack to mount the NFS share, which was the Slackware CD, and tried to
install. The Linux box said it was installing, and the Win98 box had the
Linux box connected to it, but two things happened:
1. There was no activity on the CD-ROM drive (which was shared via NFS)...
2. Nothing installed to the Linux box.
The Linux box had not had the OS installed. When I tried to make a
bootdisk, it couldn't find fdformat, and when I restarted, trying to boot,
without the bootdisk, it won't boot. When I use the bootdisk, and try to
use that to mount and boot the Linux partition, it said "unable to find
initial console", along with the fact that LILO wasn't installed.
I don't particularly like the idea of installing my entire OS off a
network, but for most people, it works. Please help me out!!!

uhhh... diald works fine here on a 2.2.5 system with just the errata
updates (and what RedHat ships me on CD-ROM) and the required releases
to run 2.2.5
The only real problem is I get a message that "diald uses obsolete
(PF_INET,SOCK_PACKET), but it still works fine.

Reply-To: 221-10, Arnold, Dr., W., Lafayette, IN47906
Hellow,
Still I did not able to connect to my ISP earthlink.
The problem is that the earthlink server did not respond to my system's
LCP request.
According to PPP-HOWTO, this problem is likely to happen when the login
process is not completed. For my case, log messages showed a welcome
message ('Welcome to Earthlink, Entering PPP session, your IP number is
***.***.***.***') and the garbage '~y'. I think that something else is
wrong.
Also, the response from the 'Earthlink' server is so slow, I have added
the option
'lcp-max-configure 60' to the 'options' file.
Any idea ?.
Thanks
Jongmook

Subject: DNS, BIND v8 & Firewalls
Date: Mon, 12 Apr 1999 04:04:11 GMT
I am setting up a nameserver on our firewall linux box (slackware 3.6 -
2.0.35) using BIND version 8.
I have copied all of the configuration files over from our existing
nameserver (which uses BIND version 4 and previous slackware version 3.2). I
have altered the files to fit the new BIND version format.
Testing the nameserver on our internal network went OK - name resolution,
pinging, reverse look-ups etc ...
I then tested the name resolution for internet hosts. I can ping them with
an IP address, but not with a domain name! It seems that the DNS is not
forwarding the name resolution requests to the root nameservers.
I am not sure how the firewall effects name resolution using DNS, but I
suspect something is going on here!?!
I would appreciate any help on this
Thanks, Glen.

Subject: Configuring Linux As Gateway to Internet: Help
Date: Fri, 9 Apr 1999 03:29:50 -0700
Hello and thank you for your help in advance.
I am configuring my Linux 2.0.35 (RedHat pkg) as a gateway to the Internet
for NT Workstations (NT 4.0 build 1381, pack 3). So far, I have not been
able to succeed. In brief, the NT workstation knows to use the Linux system
for DNS services, but a ping (ftp or telnet) to an Internet address fails
with a Request Time Out error.
I am hoping for suggestions on debugging tools at the Linux level. Also
suggestions on which direction to take.
Some details:
1. pppd is running fine on the Linux system. route and ifconfig show me
correct ip addresses.
2. From the Linux system I can ftp and telnet into the address that the NT
system is failing to connect to.
3. From the NT system, route print shows that the default (and only) gateway
is the ip for the Linux system in my local network. I can ping (ftp and
telnet) the linux system from the NT system.
4. The NT system is resolving Domain Names via the Linux system. When I ping
panix2.panix.com, it correctly translates that into the corresponding ip
address. However, a ping still fails. (can anyone explain this?)
5. My kernel was built with the following networking options:
# Networking options
#
CONFIG_FIREWALL=y
CONFIG_NET_ALIAS=y
CONFIG_INET=y
CONFIG_IP_FORWARD=y
CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST=y
CONFIG_SYN_COOKIES=y
CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL=y
CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL_VERBOSE=y
CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE=y

Thats what I suspected, too, because it sounds from the docs that it has
a flash rom or something.
Unfortunatelly I can't test it for a while because after putting in the
NIC, I could not boot up my PC. Something must have been damaged during
the operation. I'll have to figure out what.
Thanks anyway,

I presummed you have your basic networking running. On the Win95, do
this....Start->Run. Type 'telnet <your linux machine>'. Your should get
a linux login prompt.

Subject: multithread TCP programming help
Date: Tue, 6 Apr 1999 12:38:36 +0200
Hi everyone,
we are developing a TCP based client/server program which is used
in multithread environment under UNIX in C++.
Our problem:
We open a socket in the main thread and bind it to a port. The program
accepts connections via this socket, and starts a new thread to serve the
client requests.
When the program exits it closes all sockets, terminates all threads
properly.
When we want to close the server socket from a signal handler it seems to
close fine as well.
After restarting the program it tries to open the socket again, and bind it
to the specified port, but the bind returns with the following error:
'48 Address already in use.'
All the log files report that every thread has released the sockets.
After a couple of minutes the program starts properly. It seems, that the OS
releases the unused port.
Is there any way to release all connections of one specified port manually?
Thanks for your help...

On Linux box:
1. What are the permissions on that directory?
2. Why /misc/gromiko instead of /gromiko?
On the VAX?
1. Do YOU have the permissions to see things other than your
home diretory tree? Maybe you need ACLs on it...
2. Is UCX doing something squirelly?

Yes, the cards are PCI. They have no jumpers. There doesn't seem to be anyway
of changing the IRQ or base io address with utility programs - I've searched
the web - event the RealTek RSET8029 doesn't do the job. I notice on boot
that the (Award) BIOS reports both network cars on IRQ11.
Surely there must be a way to change the IRQ on the card??
Thanks for help so far, but the solution is yet to be found.

Subject: DNS & BIND V.8
Date: Mon, 12 Apr 1999 03:55:17 GMT
I am setting up DNS on slackware V3.6 (Kernel 2.0.35) using BIND version 8.
The configuration files all seem to be correct. The server acting as the
nameserver is also a firewall server using IP-filtering.
I can ping and resolve names from the nameserver to hosts within our network,
and also from anywhere within the network. I then tried to ping hosts on the
internet through our dial-up connection to the ISP - this works OK. However,
when I try and resolve names using nslookup, of hosts on the internet it fails
and times-out.
The configuration files for the root domain servers are correct as well as the
reference to them.
I have tried debugging using nslookup without much luck.
We are in the process of moving from a server using BIND Version 4. We
copied all the files over and then altered them to match the new BIND version
format - the root server file was not changed.
I am fresh out of ideas, could there be a firewall problem??
OR in the format of the root server config file??

If it's just a file server, Install Tcp stack on the NT box (and obviously
the workstation doing the dialling)? When the workstation dials up, it
should just work.... Tell the workstation to log on to network in the tcp
properties of the dialup adapter (assuming win9x)...
