Possibly because W98 uses encrypted passwords? I bet you don't have SP4
installed on NT either...
Do a search of the MS KB and disable encrypted passwds in the W98
registry.

Are you getting any timeout errors in /var/log/messages on the eth0?
Look at ifconfig eth0. Any errors? Any successful Tx or Rx?
It's possible the irq is set wrong and have the same things happen. Usually
best to use the DOS program that came with your card to set the irq and io
address. Turn off PnP so your system doesn't change it after you set it.

I require a copy of the latest version of the rpc.lockd (NFS lock daemon)
for linux.
I am running Redhat 5.2 with linux kernel 2.2.6.
System is SMP Dual Pentium 2 350Mhz processor, 128MB ram, U2W scsi hard
disk.
I have compiled an old version but I am getting compile errors that I didn't
get before I activated SMP in the kernel. I reuire this for file locking
over the network as we have a distributed file system.
Does the rpc.lockd work with SMP?.
Could you please reply to my e-mail address if possible

Hallo!
we intend to use linux as firewall and mail server. we have a dial up
network and we want sendmail to check within defined step for new mail and
deliver this mail to specific pop3 account on this linux machine where the
local client can fetch this new mail.
is sendmail able to do that and if true, how? with ms-exchange this works,
but we would prefer linux!

if recall correctly, smbfs is part of the kernel compile menu--under

If you can program in C it would be an even better solution if you
would look at the ipppd source code and find out why it is using
hex in the first place. It must be a bug. My version here doesn't
do it, it looks like the following:
Apr 11 08:28:37 ec ipppd[26225]: rcvd [0][PAP AuthNak id=0xamsg="Invalid Login"]
which is much more useful. The bug must have crept in since I
got my version (can't remember unfortunately).

Well all your packets are being dropped on eth0.
I don't see anything wrong with your routing table, given the netmask and
IPs. The OS is probably correcting for an error in your
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file. You might want to check it.
It should look something like:
DEVICE=eth0
USERCTL=no
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
BROADCAST=147.32.124.159
NETWORK=147.32.124.128
NETMASK=255.255.255.224
IPADDR=147.32.124.136
You proably don't want to use IRQ 9 for your network card, it is used to
direct the interrupts from the 2nd interrupt controller to the 1st, on IRQ
2.
It is best to use 5, 10, or 11, for your network card. Take a look at
/proc/interrupts to see what is currently being used. Also take a look at
/proc/ioports, just to be sure there is no overlap (although there doesn't
seem to be a problem here).

I basically just installed qmail on a Redhat Linux 5.2 Intel box from the
www.qmail.org site, but I still need to configure it. I need to configure
the following
1. qmail to forward outward-bound mail from the domain to an ISP on a
leased line through a Firewall
2. qmail to check ISP once every half hour for inward-bound mail and forward
to an Exchange Server through a firewall again
I am not sure whether qmail can do all of the above. Anyone have any help
or pointers to setting up the above. It would be much appreciated.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
As a small-time/beginner system/network admin, I keep coming across the same
sorts of questions. Basically, I often (due to lack of experience) don't know
what sort of machine would best suit a given situation. I was wondering if
anyone has ever written an article or something giving some basic rules of
thumb.
For example, right now I'm facing a situation where I need to configure ipfwadm
for three networks of various sizes. I have no idea how powerful a machine I
would need, or if I should spread it out over several machines, etc. So far
I've just been using a machine until I notice it choking up, then adding more
hardware or spreading its task onto several computers. I dont think this is the
best way to go about this, and i certainly think the customers would prefer if
they weren't my guinea pigs.
I think it would be useful to have a document that went through the most common
networking/sys admin related programs and explained what resources they were
heavy on, how many users one could expect it to handle on a given machine, etc.
So can anyone point me to this sort of document?
thanks

Ok, here is the situation, we have 2 DNS servers in our
office. One is running Linux (2.0.0 I believe) and the other is
running SGI IRIX 5.3. I edited the (reverse IP)IN-ADDR.ARPA
file on the SGI and added
45 IN PTR twp.wheeling.il.us.
then did a:
killall -HUP named
works fine. When I ping the IP it resolves twp.wheeling.il.us.
So I then went to the Linux box, and edited the same file (the linux
is our primary DNS) and added the same entry, and killed the named
process. But it does not resolve the domain name. Is there something
special that I have to do? Something that I am missing? All the other
domains that I deal with are www.domain.com.. but never a government
one like this. Anything done differently?

You probably don't have a route to your local network.
route add -net 206.228.139.32 netmask 255.255.255.224 eth0
If that doesn't work, post the results of 'netstat -nr' and 'ifconfig
eth0'.
Once you get your ppp connection working you'll want to make that your
default route.

I currently have a Linux box set up and Masqing my home network just dandy.
The issue I have is trying to by pass a filter at work so that I can use ICQ.
It seems that they have blocked out the UDP that I need to use - So I was
hoping to set up a Socks server on my Linux box to accept my ICQ from work on
the alternate port and output to the normal ICQ servers on the correct Port.
I am questioning if Socks5 is what I want. Will it interfere with my currently
configured IPMasqing? Is there anyway to do what I want without setting up
Socks5?
Any information would be VERY useful. Thanks

Hiya,
I've setup a (Novell GroupWise) mail system inside my private network and have
struggled with about the same questions: How do I redirect port 25 (the ISP is
sending the mail to that port of my linux box of course) to port 25 on IP
number 192.168.0.5, my internal mailserver. The answer was relatively simple
(when I found it of course): Use "redir". This little piece of software allows
you to redirect ports straight into your private network.
When you have a kernel 2.0.33 (not sure here) or higher the NAT capacities are
built in out of the box of any distribution. All you have to do is configure
it. I'm using ipfwadm and (recently) redir for that. If you want, I can mail
you the specifics, but I've found this solution looking on dejanews,
powersearching for like "linux port redirect".
Cheers.
