DNS stands for Domain Name System, not Domain Name Server.
He states that the NT box is at 192.168.1.1, and the DNS is from 192.168.1.2.

It could very well connect to 210.x.x.x, if its default gateway is or can
route to the Linux box. It's the gateway that has to worry about getting
packets to other networks, not the NT client. Since your LAN doesn't sound
like it's connected to the internet anyway, that means the default gateway
for your NT clients [or any other boxes] is doing nothing. Change the
default gateway on your clients to the *internal* [/16] address of the linux
box, then make sure the Linux box knows about both addresses.

Yes. I don't think you can do that on the client under NT, though. Does
anyone know if NT supports static routes? Something in 'lmhosts', maybe?
For the NT boxes you'd probably have to change the default gateway for all
traffic. That may or may not cause problems, depending on your situation.
Note that you do not need a real gateway to route traffic on the local
network, so if the NT boxes don't need to see anything other than local
machines, changing their default gateway to the Linux box shouldn't hurt
anything. Test it first, anyway, though. :)

His primary question wasn't how to get traffic to the Linux box, it was how to
get DNS working. It's a common problem [maintaining one server doing both
internal and external DNS consistently].
One solution, which I just outlined, is to simply resolve all DNS queries to
external IP addresses, and let the gateway do the translations. Another
solution is to maintain different servers for internal and external DNS. The
simplest solution is to use /etc/hosts, since this is the main reason it's
still around and hasn't been completely replaced by DNS. Unfortunately, that
won't work on any windows box, for obvious reasons. Windows *does* have a
bastardized version of a hosts file, 'lmhosts', that lets you override DNS
resolution, but it's a bitch to work with, isn't very well documented, and
doesn't always seem to work right [some applications use DNS first no matter
what, it seems].

Date: Mon, 10 May 1999 21:48:38 +0100
I recently noticed that when I logged on and surfed the net my system would
slow down and the harddrive would thrash about. After a bit of ps'ing and
top'ing I noticed that my syslogd was hyperactive. I had a look at exactly
what it was it was doing and discovered it was filling my drive (by writing
to the messages log) with the same data that my browser was either parsing
(html etc.) or saving as downloads. It had created a couple of .gz archives
(I guess when the log got > a certain size). The output was from the kernel
in the format otherwise known (for me) from hex-viewers, that is the hex
numbers followed by their ascii equivalents :
kernel : 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........
etc...
another thing that figured a lot in the message log was the following...
chat[551] : Can't restore terminal parameters : input/output error.
and also
kernel : ppp : write frame, count = 24
Any ideas ?

Subject: Re: Routing help needed
Date: Mon, 10 May 1999 15:08:32 -0500
Ok, I'm going to make a couple of assumptions here based on the IP addresses
you gave.
1) Your eth0 is connecting to the internet and has a legal internet address.
2) Your eth1 is connecting to your local LAN and does NOT use legal internet
addresses (192.168.x.x is reserved for private networks, hence most routers
that connect to the internet will ignore addresses in that range.)
This is not going to be a simple routing issue. If what I'm assuming above is
correct, you are going to have to implement IP masquerading. Since you only
have the one IP address that is legal on the internet (assigned to your eth0),
your linux box is the only machine that is visible from the internet. You're
going to have to set up your linux machine to act as a translator from your LAN
to the internet and back. Basically what happens is this: Linux listens on
your LAN for connections that need to go to the internet. It accepts those
connections from your local machines on it's eth1 then creates the actual
connection from it's eth0 to the internet machine (whatever it may be) and
pipes the data between the two, doing the necessary address translation. With
RH5.2 you should already have the necessary options compiled into the kernel if
you're using the 'out of the box' kernel. I'm sorry that I can't give you any
more specifics about setting up IP masquerading. I've never actually set it up
myself. It's not supposed to be very difficult though. There's probably a
HOWTO about it. Look around in /usr/doc/.
good luck

What does /etc/resolv.conf say? IIRC, it doesn't come set up to use
localhost by default.. (I may be wrong.) You would need something like
domain your.domain.name
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver your.isp.nameserver.addy

pptp needs a couple of ports, but if you are allowing everything OUT, then
it doesn't matter.
HOWEVER! Fast Packet Switching will nuke the VPN. (according to MS)
I know when I compiled 2.2.4 I turned that on. Rather than recompile for the
testing I was doing, I just hooked up directly. (cheating)
There is probably a way to turn that off manually, but I haven't a clue how
it is done.
Port forwarding isn't needed unless you are coming IN through the firewall.
(in which case, it is easier to just pass everything bound for the IP of the
VPN server and let it deal with it)

With Linux install the autofs package and look the man pages
they are so clear: you only have to create a configuration

Date: Mon, 10 May 1999 18:11:13 GMT
You are correct, I am trying to mount a machine that is not running.
But, I am doing it so that I may debug my NFS client. If I understand
NFS correctly, which I probably don't, you may feed different params to
the mount command and affect its behavior. The behavior I am trying to
affect is the timeout behavior. I want to see some sign that I am
successfully doing this. So, I tried to mount a dead machine and feed
it parameters that would make my client hang for a long time, trying to
mount it. And, I fed it parameters that would make my client quit
trying to mount immediately.
NFS shouldn't care that the machine is dead. As far as NFS knows, the
server is just being bombarded and has no time to respond. But, no
matter what I tried to feed the mount command, my client side RPC always
timed out after two minutes.
What I'm guessing is happening is that since RPC is not even connecting
on the remote machine (as it would even if the NFS server was swamped)
that it is giving up. If this is correct, then I need to know how to
affect my client-side RPC... ???? From what I understand, NFS is
supposed to force RPC to contiue to try to fulfill its requests, if you
try mounting with the right parameters.
What gives?
Thanks,
Bob

>From the DHCP documentation I gather that dhcpcd actually stores the DNS data
it receives in /etc/dhcp/resolv.conf. So it doesn�t overwrite the original
/etc/resolv.conf. So two solutions:
- Remove /etc/resolv.conf and make it a symbolic link to /etc/dhcp/resolv.conf
- Run a script which copies the information over, after dhcp is done (I
believe there is actually an option to dhcpcd to do this - check the man).
- Wouter.
