Do not offer fixed addresses from the addresses designated in the range
statement -- ever. If an address in the range is free it is subject to
being handed out. Allocate fixed addresses from outside the dynamic
range.
Because dhcp will allocate address from the bottom of the range and work
up, I try to start the dynamic range at .11 and work up from there. The
fixed addresses I allocate from 250 on down. It is not enecessary to do
this but I find it makes it easier to move the dividing line if necessary.

I missed your original post. Can you post the results of 'netstat

/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1, unless you're very confident about it ?

The ISC code for dhcpd-2.0 compiled under Linux. I am using the version
from Redhat 5.2 (2.0b1pl6) as the test bed for my employer's implementation
of dhcp. Interestingly, politics demands I implement the final version on
HPUX -- a platform which dhcp is known to have problems...

Hi All,
I have a small home network going. Two computers, Dual Boot,
Redhat 5.1/Win95 and server running Redhat 5.2 & Samba. I
have Server/Samba working fine with Win95, I can log in and
see all the available shares etc.
Currently when I boot into my Redhat 5.1 (the dual boot
machine) system it will mount the DOS partitions (i.e.
C-Drive and D-Drive) on my Windows 95 system through fstab.
Should the Samba server make those partitions on the Win95
system available to the Redhat 5.1 system, instead of doing
it through fstab? Can Samba see those share if Win95 is not
running?
How should I mount the available shares on the Samba server
with Redhat 5.1 system? Should I place the smbmount lines in
the
etc/rc.d/rc.local file? Is that the preferred method?
Is there any special syntax that need to be used in the
rc.local file?
Just trying to set it up the most logical way.
Thanks
Joe

What do you mean by "recognize" ? You want to mount it? If so, just

Connect means a lot of things: I assume you want to mount a share from
the server, so you need kernel support for smbfs and the smbmount
utility.

No, you do not need NIS or ypbind working to set up DNS. I run a DNS

You seem to be confusing NIS with DNS. They are separate services.

Pity, I know how to make DNS work in Redhat. Should be pretty much the
same in slackware. read the DNS-HOWTO
(http://metalab.unc.edu/mdw/HOWTO/DNS-HOWTO.html) to get started and buy
DNS and BIND from O'Reilly if you are serious.

I was wondering the same one day with my network. Apparently it tries to

by adding the comps to /etc/hosts or by running your own named.

Date: Sat, 15 May 1999 20:21:36 GMT
I'm running the Red Hat 6.0 version of Linux and whatever pppd comes
with it, trying to establish my PPP connection to Netcom. I copied
the files off the page at the Netcom site, and modified them as
appropriate, but I get very slow connections (never faster than two or
three hundred bytes per second using Netscape). (I added the mtu 296
to the options file at the suggestion of someone in
comp.os.linux.setup, which improved it somewhat, but not to an
acceptable level). I'm using the Redondo Beach POP with a 33K modem.
I know the phone line and POP are good, because I can get a good 48K
connection with my Win98/56K setup. Does anyone have any experience
with Linux and Netcom that can provide any guidance as to what I
should be tweaking to given me a usable connection?

Yep. This is what routing tables are for.
You will also need to be able to set up a route on the far end so that
return traffic knows where to go.
To illustrate, assume that your local network is 192.168.1.0/24 and the
remote network is 10.0.0.0/8. On the Linux firewall you'd have a routing
table entry for 10.0.0.0/8 pointing out the PPTP link. On the far end you'd
have a routing table entry for 192.168.1.0/24 pointing back over the PPTP
link. You may also have to coordinate IP address assignment with the remote
network admin for this to work reliably (e.g. what if there are two people
using 192.168.1.0/24 and trying to access the central network this way?).
I don't know if you can set up network-to-network routing like this with a
Linux PPTP client talking to a MS server. I've only done it in a pure-MS
environment, and was only able to get it to work with a RRAS-to-RRAS
connection. If you don't want to install PPTP client software on each local
host, you may be forced to install a NT box running RRAS behind your
firewall to act as the local endpoint.

I have a Etherpower 10 PCI card that has worked fine under Linux 2.0.36 for
many months. As soon as I tried to use it with Linux 2.2.5 (Redhat 6.0) I had
problems with the board. The link light on the hub comes on for about 25
seconds then goes off until I reboot the system. The computer is a HP
Pavilion 6370Z with a 350MHz Pentium II. The Etherpower card works fine under
Windows 98 so I don't think the problem is the card. I tried defining
TULIP_NO_MEDIA_SWITCH in "tulip.c" because the documentation suggested
something similar but it doesn't seem to help.

What kind of o/s is on the remote machine, the one with the cdrom you want
to mount locally? Say the remote is a windows box. Share the cdrom's
drive letter. Locally use samba mount:
first create a directory as a mount point, say:
mkdir localdirectory)
then
(smbmount /remotemachine/cdletter /localdirectory)
and you should be all set to go. One thing first,
insmod iso9660
this command installs the cdrom filesystem module on the local machine,
when the command isrun on the local machine.
If the remote machine that will share the cdrom is a linux box, then create
the share in /etc/samba.d/smb.conf and pretty much do the same as outlined
above, substituting the share name you assigned in smb.conf for the
cd-drive-letter used instead when the sharer is a win/dos box.
Before using smb mount, make sure smbclient works, tcp/ip works, etc. If
smbclient works and smbmount does not after trying everything, try
upgrading to a newer version of samba. Meanwhile, more info in: man
samba, man smbclient, man smbmount . If you don't get man files in
response to these commands, perhaps samba is not installed on your local
machine....

The above is correct, but maybe a little explanation is in order (so as
to make it clear as mud 8^<)> )
There are three modules that are inter-related (spelling?): the ppp
module, the slip module, and the bsd-comp module. AFAIK, the bsd-comp.o
module must be loaded in order for the ppp.o module to work w/o griping
in the /var/log/messages as you have already seen. Then I _believe_ the
ppp.o module has to be loaded _before_ the slip module (slhc.o), which
is used by diald for demand-dialing your isp (if you need to). Check
out /usr/src/linux/Documentation/modules.txt, and FWIW, I decided to
skip aliasing in /etc/conf.modules and just flat out load the modules at
boot via /etc/rc.d/rc.modules. The appropriate lines are in there, just
uncomment the one for bsd_comp.o and you should be in business. HTH.

Subject: Easy ??? for a Samba guru
Date: Sat, 15 May 1999 14:43:22 -0600
Hi All,
I have a small home network going. Two computers, Dual Boot,
Redhat 5.1/Win95 and server running Redhat 5.2 & Samba. I
have Server/Samba working fine with Win95, I can log in and
see all the available shares etc.
So with that working I've started changing various settings
in the smb.conf to see what effect it has in Windows 95. On
page 169 of the John Blair Samba book, if browseable = no
the service will not appear in network browser but will
"Still be Available".
For example, I have a share /doc on my samba server, shows
up in Windows 95 network neighborhood life is good. I then
set browseable = no for that service now it does not show up
in the nethood, works as advertised. Sounds like a good way
to hide shares.
Now how do I get at that service. "Net Use" says it is not
available, and I should contact my system administrator
:-) Now according to the Samba book it should still be
available, unless I'm not reading it right. Is there certain
syntax in the Net Use line, or something I'm not thinking
of to gain access?
Any help appreciated
Thanks,
Joe

Subject: Long delay starting sendmail
Date: Sat, 15 May 1999 21:26:24 GMT
I am having a problem where sendmail takes a very long time to
start. 2-3 minutes. I am running Redhat 6.0 and also had this
problem when running 5.2. Once started, sendmail runs fine. It is
just bothersome that it takes so long to reboot. I am running on
@Home network with a static IP.
Can anybody give me a pointer toward fixing this problem?
Thanks in advance.

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