Subject: Re: DSL questions
Date: Tue, 04 May 1999 08:10:46 GMT
i am running dsl. i have had it set up two ways.
one connected to an ethernet card in the back of a linux box so i could
use linux's ip masq functionality. that worked pretty good. i had issues
with my dual ethernet cards from time to time but it wasnt anything
really big.
the other way was with the dsl modem connected directly to an ethernet
hub so all my computers had a direct path to the internet.(you need
separate registered IP addresses for this option tho)
both ways worked great.
as far as the adsl goes, i have never had a problem. I think a large
part of that is due to the efforts of my wonderful ISP. but i was their
first dsl customer and guinea pig. i'm paying 200.00 a month for the
service and 12.00 a month for leasing the modem. at 768k up and down,
thats amazingly cheap. thats half of a t1 at less than 1/5 of the
price. my ISP, cyberverse.com, is doing a great job tho. i have to give
much of the credit for my lack of problems to them and not necessarily
the dsl.
my recommendations: go for it. its well worth the price. you can also
get it in smaller chunks. if you get a 64k connection, its really cheap,
and unlike a modem, you arent limited to upload speeds by the FCC.
hth,
bill

Matt,
I ran into a similar situation a while back. I'm using bind 8 and I think
there's a similar command in bind 4. Check out the listen-on option or
perhaps the query-source option for use in the named.conf (named.boot for bind
4) file. The homepage of the guys that maintain bind has a bunch of useful
docs on the internals of the configuration files for both versions. If I
remember correctly, it's at http://www.isc.org
Hope this helps,

samba 2.0.3-4 installed on RH 6 kernel 2.2.5. I upgraded from RH 5.2 now my

Caldera does (or did) make an NDS client for linux. However, if I am not
terribly mistaken, that was a pre-compiled client that only worked with
RedHat and the 2.0.35 kernel, which you also have to get (pre-compiled)
from Caldera.
Check out Calderas website (www.caldera.com) for more info.

Use "ipchains -A input -p tcp -y -d 0.0.0.0/0 23 -j DENY",
the telnet port is the destination not the source. Also you may need
a rule to allow the internal netwoprk to telnet to your machine or
specify ppp0 as the interface to which this rule applies.

man smbmount
SMBMOUNT(8) smbmount SMBMOUNT(8)
NAME
smbmount - mount program for smbfs
SYNOPSIS
smbmount servicename mount-point [ -h ] [ -C ] [ -n ] [ -P
password ] [
-s server name ] [ -c client name ] [ -I hostname/IP ] [ -U user
ame ]
[ -D domain name ] [ -u uid ] [ -g gid ] [ -f file mode ] [ -d dir
mode
] [ -m max xmit ] [ -p port ]
DESCRIPTION
This program is an interface to the SMB filesystem.
smbfs is a filesystem which understands the SMB protocol. This is
the
protocol Windows for Workgroups, Windows NT or Lan Manager use to
talk
to each other. It was inspired by samba, the program by Andrew
Tridgell
that turns any unix site into a file server for DOS or Windows
clients.
See ftp://nimbus.anu.edu.au/pub/tridge/samba/ for this interesting
pro-
gram suite and lots of more information on SMB and NetBIOS over
TCP/IP.
There you also find explanation for conceps like netbios name or
share.
OPTIONS
servicename
servicename is the name of the service you want to use on the
server.
It takes the form //server/service/rootdir where server is the
name
of the Lan Manager server offering the desired service and service
is
the name of the service offered. rootdir is a directory below
the
offered service. This can be convenient when complete disks
are
exported by a server, but only a small part of the hierarchy
should
be available for the client. Thus to connect to the directory
"util"
below the service "c" on the Lan Manager server "wfw", you would
use
the servicename

Does anyone know of a program that would allow me to direct connect 2 PCs
through their parallel ports? All I want to do is simply copy huge files
from one to the other. The source code for such a program would be nice

Kenn,
I'll take a stab at answering your question. If any of you guys out there
catch a boo-boo in here please let us know. =:o)
PPP is merely a protocol used to connect machines or networks over a
wide-area link (typically) like serial connections, etc. Most ISDN and
DSL routers will utilize PPP over the physical ISDN or DSL link. The T1s
my company uses for internet access, for example, are simply 24 channel
ISDN lines (more-or-less) that talk to the telco's POP via a PPP link
over the ISDN connection. The ISDN and DSL routers tend to hide the PPP
portion (unless you're doing the config on the router) and present the
local lan with a nice simple TCP/IP gateway. I got a crash course
(appropriately named) in this kind of stuff when the guy that set up my
internet connectivity at work moved on to another job.
To make a long story short (too late), DSL is the physical connection
layer. PPP is the software communication layer that operates over the DSL
connection.
Later,
Jeff

Subject: Linux firewall / router at fault ?
Date: Tue, 04 May 1999 03:20:55 GMT
We are having an interesting problem with our NT, Windows9x & router.
We are running DHCP for the windows 9x clients. The server is at
10.0.0.1, DHCP has 10.0.0.1 to 10.0.0.10 excluded, the rest of the range
is available for lease (ie: 10.0.0.11 to 10.0.0.255).
The netmask is 255.255.255.0 (a class C mask).
Things were running fine until a couple of days ago. We had a cable
modem & and Linux firewall/router installed. The router is at 10.0.0.2.
Same netmask as the NT Server.
Now things get interesting.... the Windows 9x machines can ping and be
ping'd by the router, likewise they can access the internet. However the
NT server can not access the internet.
We sniff'd the network, when ping is run from the NT server to the
router, we see no request nor reply. When the server pings a windows9x
client we see the ack from the client but NO req from the server.
Likewise we the client pings the server. We see both when a client pings
the router and vice versa.
So, we reinstalled TCP/IP, no change.
Reinstalled the drivers for the 3Com 3C905 card, no change.
We are stumped.... Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If I try the following my harddisk is permanently active and never

All those "polite" answers and it seems that everyone omitted the most important
thing for that SAMBA server to be visible on Windows machines.... In smb.conf
file, go to the line that says "remote announce = [your client(s)" here and
restart samba (samba restart) as a root. This will show your file server in
network neighborhood. At this point, however, I assume that you have created
file shares properly and as others pointed out, you can ping your Linux server.
Am I assuming too much? :-)
Good luck.

Es gibt einen DOS _Client_ fuer Windows Filesharing. Zusammen mit
einem seriellen TCP-IP Stack (Cygnus?) koennte man das ganze
