First check your logfile for any error messages (usually
/var/log/messages and /var/log/secure) if there is any obvious problems
you may find it here.

Also check your hosts.allow and hosts.deny and make sure that the host
you are trying to ftp from (your NT box) is not denied access by inetd.

Generally it is a bad idea to run a server (web server or anything else
of the sort) on a computer configured with DHCP.  If you must make sure
you get your DHCP setup and all of your addresses set before you launch
your Apache server. Use netstat -a and look for anything on port 80 (www
or http) to see if Apache is binding correctly.

It kinda sounds like to me that Apache is having trouble figuring out
which IP address to bind to.  This could also be
related to your IP_Forwarding problem.  Without knowing more specifics
about your network it's hard to say.

This is a tough one for me... someone with a little more Apache
expertise may have a different answer.

I'm no expert so bear with me...I think you need to set up ppp with a
default gateway.
Make your normal default route have a metric of 1.  The ppp default route
will have a metric of 0.  When ppp is up, traffic will use the ppp
connection, otherwise it will use the ethernet connection.

Make sure you have "defaultroute" in the ppp command:

exec /usr/sbin/pppd /dev/modem 38400 crtscts noipdefault defaultroute
connect \ $DIALER_SCRIPT name ${MYNAME} lock modem debug

I have gotten this to work using ipautofw in the past.  I just recently
did a clean install of slackware 3.6 and the default ip-chains works
really nicely for me.  If you do need ipautofw... just email me and I
can send you an attached email.  But yeah, you
do need to forward udp port 6112 with control ip ports 106,108 ( and for
shits and giggles udp 6112 ).  It would look like this.

ipautofw -A -r udp 6112 -c tcp 106
ipautofw -A -r udp 6112 -c tcp 108
ipautofw -A -r udp 6112 -c udp 6112

( using ipautofw for Blizzard games )

If anyone has any better suggestions, please post. :)

Date: Tue, 27 Apr 1999 01:59:28 GMT

I have RH 5.1 and an external USR Courier v.everything.   Upon
activating a PPP interface, two of the LEDs (TR and CS, I believe)
briefly flash and then activity stops.  I have tried several init
strings (including ATZ, AT&F, AT&F1 and a few other variants) but the
result is always the same.  I have also tried changing from dev/modem
to dev/ttyS0 (the modem is on COM1 in Windows) with the same
disappointing result.  

For test purposes I made a SLIP interface and the damned thing dialed
out perfectly with all the inits mentioned above.  I can also dial out
using Minicom.

Any suggestions?

Red Hat doesn't load the ftp server daemon by default when you install.  I had
to re-install Red Hat 5.2 to

Hi.....  Sorry for posting here also...

I'm trying to compile a list of things to do in order to make your
Linux/Samba server give as much performance as possible....
So, my request to all of you out there...
Please send me whatever info you have on performance, and I'll
try to make a decent howto 'round this subject...

I feel this is an important thing to do, since it's not that difficult
setting up a Samba server instead of an NT, but the performance
issue is a whole other thing...
M$ has a very broad range of courses on how to learn to get top-notch
performance from your NT box, and we don't, and that might scare
some people from migrating to Linux on their fileservers....
Especially after phreaky incidents like this one :

http://www.linuxworld.com/linuxworld/lw-1999-04/lw-04-mindcraft.html?04-21

Anyway... I hope very much that you are interested in helping out on this
project.  So, if you could mail me everything you've got on how to tune a
Samba server, preferably with some info on what it does, what it affects,
which HW it is running on, which kernel version, which Samba version,
which clients it affects, and if you've got before/after benchmarks...
All sorts of stuff that refers to Samba performance. It would really help
me a lot.....

   Tanx in advance to all who'll participate and help this project on it's
way........

The netmask is the most important part, and that along with the network
address gives you all the others.  Let's write it out in binary notation, and
take a closer look at it:

11111111.11111111.11111111.11100000
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Notice that it is made up of a string of 1's followed by a string of 0's. 
*All* netmasks have this feature, and you're not allowed (or even able, if
you want your network to _work_) to make a netmask any other way.  Also note
that there are 27 1's in the netmask.  It is for this reason that your
network is called a '/27' in (modern) technical literature.  Written
properly, your network is identified as 'a.b.c.96/27'.

Your network address is a.b.c.96.  Let's write that in binary notation
[fudging a little for the 'a.b.c' part]:

aaaaaaaa.bbbbbbbb.cccccccc.01100000
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Your broadcast address [the "last" IP address that fits inside your netmask],
in binary notation, is:

aaaaaaaa.bbbbbbbb.cccccccc.01111111
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Notice that the part they have in common [and indeed the part all of your IP
addresses have in common] is *exactly* the portion of your netmask that is
all 1's.  The network address is the smallest number that fits inside your
netmask, and the broadcast address is the largest [the rest being your client
IP's].

That explained, let's now look at the rest of your question.

> On an FAQ I found the following for a smaller network

> a.b.c.112   a.b.c.113 - a.b.c.126   a.b.c.127

The example is wrong.  The first network starts at .96, not .98.

To compute the netmask for each of those networks, take a look at the network
address and the broadcast address for each:

aaaaaaaa.bbbbbbbb.cccccccc.01100010 [network A - WRONG]
aaaaaaaa.bbbbbbbb.cccccccc.01100001 [network A - RIGHT]
aaaaaaaa.bbbbbbbb.cccccccc.01101111 [broadcast A]

and

aaaaaaaa.bbbbbbbb.cccccccc.01110000 [network A]
aaaaaaaa.bbbbbbbb.cccccccc.01111111 [broadcast A]

The netmask for each of these is:

11111111.11111111.11111111.11110000
[or 255.255.255.240]

> a.b.c.112   a.b.c.113 - a.b.c.126   a.b.c.127

You can also write the above networks as:

a.b.c.96/28
a.b.c.112/28

...which provides just as much information [albeit with a little more
calculation required].

Your intuition served you well in this case.  The network address and IP range
you specify are actually the correct ones.  Where did you find that FAQ?

Here's a tricky one:

I have a RedHat 5.2 linux box running Samba 2.0.3 and a Windows 98 box. 
Both computers are connected to the internet through the hub to a DSL
line plugged into the uplink port of the hub.  Everything works fine and
both computers can browse the internet.

However, since both computers have dynamic IP addresses (using DHCP) and
may not even be on the same subnet, there really isn't any way that I
can think of to keep traffic between my computers *LOCAL*.  Any FTP,
Samba shares, or web access makes a round trip to my ISP and back to the
other computer.  Samba drive sharing takes a real hit over the Internet
but I can live with my FTP and web traffic going through my ISP.

Now drive sharing was possible when both boxes were Win98.  I assume
this was because the drive sharing was not being conducted over TCP/IP. 
I don't suppose there is a vanilla NetBEUI daemon for linux is there?

Someone mentioned IP Aliasing, but while its possible on the linux box,
there doesn't seem to be a way to do it in Win98.

Basically, is there a way to set up a fake local subnet
(192.168.1.x/255.255.255.0) between a linux machine and a Win98
machine?  Or do I have to put two network cards in the linux box and two
linux cards in the Win98 box and set up the subnet there?

Thanks in advance,
Zach Forsyth

An ISDN router with network address translation ( NAT ) would probably offer
you the least amount of headaches. I have had good success with the Netgear
RT348. Last time I checked, they were under $300 US.
