Subject: Routing priority problem with dumb router
Date: Fri, 7 May 1999 14:00:44 +0800
I have a dumb router in use, which do not support routing priority. Will it
help if I use one linux box with two network cards, one connected to the
router and the other to LAN, and setup routing priority on the linux box?
Will all packets be queued at the router ( because of the relatively low
bandwith of WAN port) or linux will keep packets in queue to prevent
overflowing the router's buffer? Please give me some idea/suggestion.
Thanks.

you need to install with the networking option enabled, even if you haven't
got a network card then SuSE will install PPP
if compiling your own kernel you need to find PPP a long way down the
network menu

The RPC: not registered error messages disappeared for the last two
days for each host with which I did the folowing. What I did was to
put the following in /etc/nsswitch.conf:
|passwd: compat
|shadow: compat
|group: compat
|netgroup: nis
|
|hosts: nis files dns
|networks: files dns
|
|services: nis db files
|protocols: db files
|rpc: nis db files
|ethers: db files
|netmasks: files
|bootparams: files
|
|automount: files nis
|aliases: nis files
That is, I inserted "nis" as first entry in the lines "services" and
"rpc", altough a NIS map "rpc" seems not to be used ("ypcat rpc" gets no
answer).
Perhaps somebody could explain that ?

Subject: Netmeeting thru Firewall
Date: Fri, 07 May 1999 09:46:11 GMT
Hi all
I have read lots and lots of the ipfwadm man and also online FAQs and
howtos.....I am wanting to allow Netmeeting to run from our LAN thru our
Firewall. The ports etc that MS say need to be opened are as follows:
To establish outbound NetMeeting connections through a firewall, the
firewall must be configured to do the following:
Pass through primary TCP connections on ports 389,
522, 1503, 1720, and 1731.
Pass through secondary TCP and UDP connections on
dynamically assigned ports
(1024-65535).
I tried this
ipfwadm -F -a accept -b -P tcp -S 0.0.0.0/0 389 -D 2??.???.???.??? 389
(IP removed there just in case I have reall OPENED The whole thing
up!!!!!!!!!!)
And then followed with a similar setup for the other ports.......
Am I on the right track or not?? I have read lots and lots of the
ipfwadm man and also online FAQs and howtos.....
ISP's allow Netmeeting thru their LINUX box, HOW?? Our Linux gateway
server is no differnet on a smaller scale.....YES?? NO??
Thanks in advance for the help

Scott, if you have a spare 386 or 486 and two network cards, you can install a
neat firewall. You can connect this to a single PC or a network hub and run a
network through a single connection.
Go to http://edge.fireplug.net/ and just follow his instructions. It works
for @Home cable and I don't see any reason it won't work for MediaOne

Heh.. seriosly.. the reason is he lives in an apartment building which a
mother of one of his friends owns.. They just got high speed cable in teh
building, but at a (rather) steep price.. So they ran TP cable between some
apartments and share a single Cable modem :)

It may be the case that the packets are going to the remote address but
the responses don't know where to go (i.e. the remote machine doesn't
know how to route to 192.168.x.x).

Umm .. Netware is pretty much moot. There isn't any point to it for
so small a network.

There's the issue - the database is not "running under netware" it is
running at the client (dos); the files are merely stored at the
netware server.
So yes, you can run this with linux as the file server.
Although LAN manager stuff can be a pain in the butt for DOS clients,
you might want to use MARS_NWE instead of samba if your clients are
actually DOS. Or perhaps change the clients to linux too if you can
get the program running in DOSEMU :-)

Have the destination rule as something like "-d ! 192.168.0.0/16" (check docs
for exact syntax). I'm assuming that you don't talk to any 192.168.x.x addresses
through the internet ethernet card. If you do you'll need to add a sepcial case
for these.

When I went to uni in '93 they were using BBC micros as dumb terminals
running their own ("bbcphx") terminal program. That is how I ended
up using LaTeX on emacs sitting in front of a BBC in college. When I
thought the document was finished I'd pop along to the department and
view it there before printing it. Most people at that time were writing
things by hand.
The BBC didn't do vt100 very well so getting through some parts of gopher
was sometimes interesting. (I'm afraid I did at one time go through
the Minesota gopher server to the games section where a team of us once
found something called "Moral Decay")

I have a HP LaserJet 4MP which used serial connection to connect with Redhat
Linux ver 5.2, I already installed teh printer driver "hp4mp", it works fine
when I print ASCII testing, but it got error message once I try to print
postscript testing.
The "40 ERROR" definitation is :
"The printer encountered an error while transferring data from the computer.
If you are using the serial I/O, you might have caused this error by turning
the computer ON or OFF while the printer was on line; or your printer's baud
rate or parity was not the same as the computer's."
then I tried to change the closing_wait and closing_wait2 into higher
number, it stills doesn't work. THen I tried another which is matching the
baud rate speed on the printer and serial port are the same (57600, 9600,
etc), it also got the error message.
Anyone have any idea?
I would be appreciated if you could help.
