You need to enable IP Masquerading on the Linux box and make sure that
the other PeeCees on the network use the Linux Box as their default
gateway. For the masquerading, you need something like -
#echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
#/sbin/ipchains --flush forward
#/sbin/ipchains -P forward DENY
#/sbin/ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -s $LOCALNET -i $EXTERNAL_INTERFACE
Where localnet is the machines you want to masquerade for (IE
192.0.0.1/255.255.255.0) and EXTERNAL_INTERFACE is ppp0. (or whatever.)

I am giving up on the card, but i thank you for your effort to help. Bought
etherexpress this afternoon. Blinks the hub when pinging out (but still no
response from other end.) I am confident though that things will sort out now.

Date: Fri, 14 May 1999 20:11:41 -0700
I have Redhat 6.0 (just got it, looks quite sweet and I haven't been
having any problems except for this *small* one) and I was fooling
around w/ GNOME today and I noticed that you can use Kppp in GNOME. (I
hadn't really checked before and I know you could run it from a term,
but I didn't realize that they had a working menu-importing prog)
anyway, I tried using it to connect to my ISP as usual but it didn't
work. Now, I was running Mandrake 5.3, and it worked just fine with it
then.... the log window stops on the "Starting pppd...." message and
when I go to the error detail window it says that my connection time was
.5 minutes and that it connected, but the connection was terminated.
I've seen this problem before in here, and I remember reading the
answer- but what was it? I took the 'lock' option out of my
/etc/ppp/options file and it does actually connect, but it kills itself
after connecting. The distro and install are pretty stock- it's right
out of the box, with all of the "Networked workstation" and "Dialup
workstation" packages installed; pppd is supposed to work fine (it's the
version that's *supposed* to work with the kernel 2.2.5 (installed) but
so far it's only been giving me problems....) What's the answer? TIA for
the help, you guys are the best. (I mean that.)

I am doing a project, whose top request is speed,
so I load a basic files in a ram disk then mount it to the root,
but the pppd can not work. my kernel can detect ttyS0 and support ppp
both pppd and chat can work, but when combining them together , I got no

The 530TX doesn't use Tulip; it uses via-rhine.
Add
alias eth0 via-rhine
to your /etc/conf.modules

Date: Fri, 14 May 1999 22:11:44 +0000
I have RH 5.2 with getty 2.07j-4 installed. Many docs I've read say I
can put getty -L ttyS0 9600 vt100 in inittab and then be able to login
thru a serial port using the minimum 3 wires. (I'm eventually trying to
use my HP48 as an emergency terminal). However, getty (and agetty for
that matter) complain that -L is invalid switch. I need the
functionality -L provides. What version of getty should I use and where
to get it? If there is a way of connecting using only three wires, and
without the -L flag, what flags should I use? Anyone's comments or
suggestions or descriptions of how they did it would be great. Thanks.

I have one 486 running RedHat Linux 5.1 and another Intel Pentium 2 440MHz
with MMX computer also running RedHat Linux 5.1. They are connected via a
hub which is hooked up to the 486.
Both machines can recognize their network cards, but they cannot ping each
other. Using ifconfig, should I set it to a Point-to-Point link or just
give the Broadcast adderss? What do I have to set up in my routing table?

Add a couple of lines to your /etc/conf.modules file:
alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate
alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate
and make sure that you have the modules above in your

Hi,
Beware advice from the very-newbie (like me)....
Do you have a ethernet card? And if so, do you remember the point in
your installation when you set it up --there's a line in the setup screen, the
third i believe, that reads "default gateway". The redhat install program will
automatically put a 'reasonable' number in here for you if you simply enter a
IP for your nic on the first field. Unfortunately, this will screw-up your PPP
connection to Internet , if you make that connection directly from your Linux
box without going through a gateway host on your LAN. You would deliberately
have to zero out this field during initial setup to avoid having unusable PPP.
If I have guessed your problem correctly, in the output of the route
command you will see some # like 192.168.1..254 flagged with the UG 'gateway'
tag in the output--but PPP.is also flagged as UG! This means that your box
dials up and authenticates itself to the ISP but all your TCP requests and
such are mis-routed to the eth interface. Study the man page for route to
figure out how to delete this spurious gateway. Or reinstall and be sure to
avoid having the eth0 interface become a gateway device. Ask someone for help
with route, it's a complicated pain in the neck to use correctly.
I don't really know what I am doing --your situation sounds exactly like one I
had, though.

The only hard problem will be telling the 300 NT machines where
you are. DHCP is likely to give you a new IP number each time
you connect. You have to arrange for somebody to serve that
number when one of the 300 NT machines asks for an address
for www.linux.yourcompany.com. Hint: ask whoever is responsible
for the DHCP server. Chances are they'll give you a static
IP number from their secret stash.

Red Hat comes with Apache. But if you're serious, go to
www.apache.org and follow the "Download!" and "Server Documentation"
links. Apache is very well put together, and it will install and
run for you with no problems, despite its complexity
and zillions of installation options. Just read the instructions.

this isn't tough at all...
add/change the line in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 where ppp0
is the right device to ONBOOT=yes.

I had the same problem with the 3c59x v0.99H driver at RedHat 5.2
with the Kernel 2.0.36 (Two P2 233 boxes with identical 905B-TX NICs
directly connected by crosswired TP cable). Each time 3c59x driver
initialize the NIC falls down to 10bps. Even the following settings
in the conf.modules
alias eth0 3c59x
options 3c59x options=20 full_duplex=1
changed nothing. Eventually I was able to resolve the trouble
by increasing some timing parameter in the driver as follows
477c477
< { "100baseTX", Media_Lnk, 0x02, XCVR_100baseFx, (40*HZ)/10},
---
> { "100baseTX", Media_Lnk, 0x02, XCVR_100baseFx, (14*HZ)/10},
Now networks works fine at 100bps. Maybe such "surgery" results
in some performance penalty, but have nothing to compare...
