Subject: How to join an Unreal servergame behind a firewall?
Date: Mon, 26 Apr 1999 20:44:17 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have a linuxbox as gateway and firewall for a Win98 client.
When playing Unreal with a few friends, one starts a multiplayergame,
so he is server,
and the other join on ip-address.
When i start a game as server, the other players can (of cause) not
find me, because
i play masqueraded behind the linuxbox.
My question:
How can my friends join a game started by me as server?
Is this a matter of forwarding?
I use linux 224 with ipchains.

Subject: Which type of hub?
Date: 26 Apr 1999 14:43:15 -0700
I bought a LinkSys 4-port 100baseTx hub for my LAN, but any non-trivial
amount of traffic is greeted with poor performance and a continuously
lit collision light on the hub. I had to configure my Kingston NICs
for half-duplex.
I've heard rumor that there are 100baseTx hubs that can detect the
presence of a packet on the ethernet and will wait before putting
another packet on the ethernet, and that such hubs are "full-duplex".
My Kingston NICs can do "full-duplex". So, if the rumor is true, which
hubs should I be looking for to replace my LinkSys?

Some applications that require an incoming connection from the remote
server to the client behind the NAT/IP-Masquerade may not work with
some NAT/IP-Masquerade implementations. The most common of this
type of application is ftp using PORT to get the server to initiate
a TCP connection to the client (as opposed to PASV, which has only
TCP connections from the client to the server).

Perhaps it helps you to know, that depending on your FTP Client "ls" sends
something along the lines of "nlist -ls" to the Server.
You may try to use "ftp" instead of "ncftp" or try to do a verbose loggin on
wu-ftpd.

Try recompiling the kernel (doesn't hurt to use the latest, except check
the redhat website for necessary modifications) including the network
cards in the kernel and not as modules, and/or set the IRQ/IO adresses
(for example to 10/300 respectively) using 3c5x9cfg. Hope this helps!

the Suns tend to block when mounting a NFS File, possibly by induced

Yeah, what he said. As a test, try pinging a known Internet IP address such
as your ISPs DNS server. If you can do that, it's a name server problem.
If you can't, it's an IP networking problem.

Subject: 3c59x Driver Problem?
Date: Mon, 26 Apr 1999 23:20:26 +0000
I am running a 3com 905B in full duplex mode on a machine running
2.0.36. The driver is built and loaded as a module and it is the second
ethernet card in the machine. The other card is a 3com 905 (half
duplex) and it runs just fine.
The problem I'm having is I get a log message
eth1: Transmit error, Tx status register 82. I haven't noticed any
performance problems with the card, and every time I get the error I
don't encounter any network failure. I have tried replacing the card
with a brand new one, but I get the same results. The 3com diagnostics
don't show any problem with either card.
I have a similiar setup on a second machine running two 3com 905, one
half duplex and one full duplex, and they both run without any problems
whatsoever.
Is this a driver problem, and is this really anything worth worring
about?
Thanks

Date: Tue, 27 Apr 1999 02:00:47 +0200
Hello,
I have RH 5.2 and I have been trying for more than 5 days to setup the cable
network connection thru DHCPcd. I downloaded the latest dhcpcd version then
compiled it and it seemed to work well. But when I try to activate the eth0
interface with the DHCP option (through RH's netcfg or with "ifup eth0") the
output is:
Using DHCP for eth0... failed.
And "ifconfig" shows only the local loopback, not the eth0. I also
configured the "activate at boot" option and during the boot I get a similar
message:
Using DHCP for eth0... modprobe: cannot locate net-pf-17
failed.
I can define the alias for net-pf-17 as "off" in /etc/conf.modules, and in
that case I don't get the "cannot locate" message; still, the network is
unreachable because the eth0 is never configured.
Help!

Subject: DSL DHCP disables webserver and ip_forwarding
Date: Tue, 27 Apr 1999 00:25:17 GMT
I have been running a Redhat 5.2 server for a few weeks with an ISDN
setup through work. When I set things up with a private IP address of
10.10.10.3 behind a Cisco 760 router everything is fine. I can reach
the network from the Linux machine and two PCs behind it, and I can
access the Apache Web server running on it.
I just got SDSL on Friday (SpeedStream 5250 bridge) but there was a
major communications snafu between me and the ISP. I thought I would
get a real static IP address and I ended up with a private (10.0.1.88)
address via dhcp. 10.0.0.1 appears to be my gateway - at least it is
the first hop using traceroute. (any config files that will tell me
what the gateway and DNS is when they are assigned by dhcp?).
At any rate, I can get on the net from the Linux box, but I can't get
IP_Forwarding working - I can ping both interfaces from the PCs behind
it but can't get out onto the network. Also, whenever I boot with the
dhcp setup I can't access the Web server from the linux box or from
the boxes behind it. I get a message that the server refused the
connection or may be busy. If I reconfigure my setup to the old
configuration (fixed IP 10.10.10.1) everything works fine.
I read the dhcp HOWTO and the IP_Forwarding and the Ethernet but can't
figure this one out. I have been afraid to try to tackle Apache - I
am a rank beginner.
Anyone out there have any suggestions? I am trying to switch to a
static address, but I would like to know what I'm missing here.
Thanks,

Subject: Help with PCMCIA ethernet card.
Date: Tue, 27 Apr 1999 00:15:20 GMT
Hi I'm trying to get a Linksys Ec2t 10mb ethernet card going in Linux and I'm
having problems.
I'm using an HP Omnibook 2000CT with Mandrake 5.3 and Win98 dual boot. The
card works fine in Win. I've got the PCMCIA card services running when I
insert the card I get two beeps and can run "cardctl ident" and the output is
for the the linksys card. I can ping the cards IP and get a return but I
can't ping out to two Win98 machines nor can the Win98s ping the Linux I'm
using the 192.168.0.1,2,3 range with a mask of 255.255.0.0. I have however
set up samba and the Linux samba server is in Win98 Network Neighboorhood
(freaky huh?) but I can't access it, seems to just see the name nothing else.
I not sure how this is working unless its the netbios name or something. So
there is some sort of connectivity. Any ideas?
Also on another point I'm thinking about getting a DACOM PSION 56k Global Gold
card does anyone know if it works with linux.
thanks

I suspect the Tulip driver shipped by Netgear is a bad-hacked
one. Originally I used the one included in Kernel 2.0.36. It
worked fine. Then I thought Netgear's driver would be better
as claimed in its help file. Then I got those weird error message
"transmitter stopped..." when the machine boot up, though the card
seemed to be still working.
Now I am using the lastest tulip driver by its original auther.
It works perfect and no error message is seen.
