Since they're both on 192.168.11.x, I believe you'll find something
like this if you do a 'route -n':
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.11.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
There may be more lines, of course. A default route, likely (0.0.0.0
for the destination field), and depending on kernel version, a local
route (using device 'lo').
The problem? Since both are on 192.168.11.x, eth1 will never receive
packets meant for it (unless it's physically connected (via wires) to
eth0, at which point you'd be wasting bandwidth by sending it out eth0
and receiving it at eth1, or vice versa). Thus, the solution would be
to either put them on separate 192.168.x.x networks (like
192.168.12.x), or to divide 192.168.11.x up into subnets (which is
beyond the scope of this posting as it stands), or to set up a much
more complicated routing table on a per-host basis. Frankly, I'd
recommend the first. :)
I don't know if I'm entirely right, here; these are just educated
guesses based on my knowledge of networking and Linux. I've never
personally used two ethernet cards in one machine (although I will be
having to do that soon). Hope this helps, though.

Hi,
How to make lynx accept and process cookies?
Setting SET_COOKIES variable in lynx.cfg doesn't seem to suffice.
What is the name of the file in local machine where cookies are
saved when using lynx?

Is there an lp or lpsched package for linux
to replace lpr?
Our network printer is Irix and its lpsched
daemon won't respond. They have directions
to add lpr and then switch between the two,
but it would be much nicer to just integrate
our linux box.
Any help would be appreciated.

We've got a Linux box running PPPD, on a Slackware Linux 3.5 box
(kernel 2.0.34). PPP gets up and running fine, but it only stays
up long enough for maybe 100 pings to get through (or, say, 65K
of FTP data) before crashing and respawning (it's called through
/etc/inittab). The other end of the connection (a pair of dedicated
analog lines and 33.6 modems) is another Linux box running Slirp.
Other dialup PPP users run Slirp on the host box without problems.
Minicom on the same modem works flawlessly.
Please, please - if anyone has any suggestions or advice, we're
desperate. This is a student computer lab, and finals are getting
close.
Thanks much!

Using IP numbers is a better way to do it from the start anyway. I would do
that first and THEN try to track down the problem. Using host names is not
the most secure way to do it for reasons I wont get into

Did you edit your /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file ?
Is it filled with your login-name and password ?

you don't specify the version - perhaps an old version of lynx
The current version of lynx is 2.8.1 (2.8.2 in development)

Pppd won't replace an existing default route even with the defaultroute
option. If your box is on a LAN with a single subnet then a default route
isn't needed, using a specific network specific route will work just fine.

You can also enable SAMBA to work with crypted passwords. AFAIR in the
RH5.1 distro it was already compiled in, look into /etc/smb.conf for
such option.

An acquantaince has configured his system to provide IP Masquerading between his

Note that the rejected IP addresses are 10.20.0.3 and 192.168.0.1; neither are on his

I believe that what he is seeing is a combination of a couple of misconfigured servers
on the @home "LAN", combined with some unexpected behaviour from the TCP/IP stack.
Can anyone suggest why his TCP/IP stack is intercepting these packets??
