Subject: Linux & Mediaone Internet service
Date: Mon, 03 May 1999 05:49:36 +0000
I am going to move to the west area of LA where, I checked, I can get an
Internet access using cable modem service provided by MediaOne. As
usual, MediaOne's home page mentions only Windows and Mac OSs. I am
running Linux (RedHat) and I am wondering if anybody can successfully
configure Linux box to work with MediaOne. Right now I am using
RoadRunner cable modem service provided by Time Warner here in San
Diego. I run dhcp client to get IP from
RoadRunner server that itself is not a problem, but I also have to run
a custom login program to login into their server. Without that I can
not come through their gateway. RoadRunner provides only Windows
version of this program but, fortunately, a free Linux version is
available at WWW. Is there something like this for MediaOne?
Without details what I'd like to know is: if Linux system can, in
principle, work with MediaOne Internet service? Does it require any
special software additionally to the standard dhcpcd?
BTW, what is the difference between MediaOne's "Broadband Modem" and
"Cable Modem" Internet Services? Does
it make any difference for linux configuration?
Thanks a lot,
Maxim

One needs to be careful with the USR Sportster modems-- the ISA Winmodems
are usually called Winmodems, the hardware modems are called Faxmodems.
All of their current PCI modems are winmodems, no matter what they are
called.

Ok, I'm currently looking at purchasing a 3Com 10/100 3C905B-Combo.
I'm looking for one with both a BNC and a TP connector.
I have the 3Com 3C590 right now with the AUI/RJ45/BNC connection
and of course, looked into their 3C905B card as well.
Now, I found that SMC had the Etherpower 10/100 card that
offers the BNC/RJ45 connectors, and is a lot cheaper, but
I'm not sure about their performance/quality of if they
are dependable at all.
I saw Intel had a 10Mbps card, but could not find a 10/100
card that offered the AUI/RJ45/BNC that the 10Mbps did.
So, the qualifications I'm looking for are
1. Great performance under Linux, Win98, and WinNT
2. Great driver support for Linux, Win98, and WinNT
3. RJ45 and BNC connectors.
pricewise, I already am looking at $120, so that would be near
the high limit.
Wish to get it in time for my ADSL setup.

Strange, I am using now 2.2.5 (I also had 2.2.1, 2.2.2, 2.2.4) and I've seen
IP masq. options (CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE, etc) during kernel configuration (in
fact, I am using IP masq.).
Check again section "Networking options".

If the Mwave Adapter is an internal modem, you should have a look at
http://www.suse.de/sdb/en/html/rb_internalmodem.html.
http://www.suse.de/sdb/en/html/toppp.html might also be helpful. It describes
how to connect to T-Online, a German ISP, via PPP. This should work similarly
with any other ISP as well.

Compile with firewall on. if using a pre-2.2 kernel use ipfwadm to masq
outgoing traffic otherwise use ipchains. Can also use DHCP to assign valid
ip addresses to your private network (not recommended).

Some NIC's are software-controlled to determine
which connector (BNC or RJ-45) to drive. Others
select "automatically", but only on reset or power-up.
The driver source will differentiate those cases.

You may have to reset, or even power-cycle the
system to effect that automatic switchover. If
you want the 10-baseT connector active, be
sure the coax is disconnected and the UTP
cable is connected to a live transceiver, such
as a hub or NIC, while the card self-initializes.

Hi all,
I am having a problem running /sbin/dhcpcd, when I run it with the
-d flag (foregroung) to see the error messages I get:
ioctl SIOCSIFBRADDR (ifConfig): Cannot assign requested address
I am running a mandrake 2..2.1 kernel compiled for multiprocessing.
Did I forgot to turn something on?
Even when I try a fixed IP address my network connection with the
ISP doesn't work.
Please help, I have been trying this for three days now.
BTW There is a cool little tool in Win95 (if thats possible) named
winipcfg.exe . It give you all the pertinent info on your current
connection with the ISP (try the "More Info >>" button). Very cool for
debuging.
Thanx,

Yes you do have to enable SNMP in the router. Since you don't have the
enable password you will need to reset it. Get a terminal or PC and
plug it into the console. Then follow this:

Reply-To: "Davide Marzaloni" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Hi everyone.
I'd like to use a ISDN line to connect to the internet and to other private
PPP servers trough a Cisco ISDN Access router, using the firewall security
build on a Linux Box.
My situation:
- Home miniLAN with 3 Windows 98 and 1 Windows NT 4.0 Server.
- Linux BOX (RedHAT 5.2 or Slackware 3.6 based)
- Cisco 761 ISDN access router
My problem are:
1. should I use ipchains or ipfwadm to implement firewalling-security? (I'm
going to use one of the latest 2.2.X Linux kernel)
2. How can I connect to the internet or to a private network using one or
two B channels trough my Cisco 761? I'd like Cisco could know the right
dialing number, getting the right one from a well-done request from the
Linux firewall. Is diald still valid or should it be considered only for
strictly "dial" operation, sent from the linux box?
Thanks in advance to everyone
Davide Marzaloni.

I have two working NICs , eth0 and eth1
Need to get to the following:
eth0 with fixed address on the private LAN
DHCP server to configure the other boxes on the lan (works)
eth1 using dhcp client connected to internet via cable modem
