I got my two (soon to be 3) pc's networked and they see each other fine
when I ping them. In linux though, how do I mount the hd (drives C and
D) on the opposite pc? I tried 'smbmount //bci/c /mnt/bci_c' but that
doesn't work. One pc has the name 'bci' and the other 'compucrap'. Samba
works fine if I want to look at the second hd in the local pc, but I
want to see the hd in the connected pc, of course.
Please help, this will help me here at home and at work. I recently set
up a Linux workstation at work to experiament on with our apps there.

TITLE
LaserWriter Printers: TCP/IP Solutions Guide
Article ID:
Created:
Modified: 20148
7/9/96
2/9/99
========================================================================
TOPIC
This article provides solutions for printing to an Apple LaserWriter printer
using TCP/IP.
========================================================================
DISCUSSION
Although UNIX workstations are the traditional source of LPR printing, LPR
is defined in Internet RFC 1179, and can be implemented on any computer
using TCP/IP networking. The growth of Internet, intranet and Open Systems
environments means Apple customers will see increasing need to support
TCP/IP printing from all computer systems, including mainframes, mini
computers, DOS/Windows, and Mac OS systems.
Since most Apple LaserWriter printers accept print jobs transmitted only by
AppleTalk, customers often need solutions for getting their print job from a
TCP/IP based computer to an AppleTalk-only printer.
There are three possible solutions for printing to an Apple LaserWriter
printer using TCP/IP:
* Configure the LaserWriter for TCP/IP printing (LPR)
* TCP/IP - AppleTalk conversion (LPR-PAP)
* Direct Serial or parallel connections
This article also contains a list of LaserWriter printers which cannot be
used with a TCP/IP connection.
Solution: Configure the LaserWriter for TCP/IP Printing (LPR)
Apple has provided TCP/IP support in recent, high-end printers. The
following models are designed to support TCP/IP printing:
* LaserWriter Pro 810
* LaserWriter 16/600 PS
* Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS
* Color LaserWriter 12/660 PS
* LaserWriter 12/640 PS
* LaserWriter 8500
TCP/IP jobs are received through the Ethernet port. These printers support
PostScript, PCL and/or text. Your LaserWriter User's Guide contains complete
configuration information.
Some TCP/IP software requires you to enter a socket number. Apple
LaserWriters use 515, which is the default number specified by RFC 1179.
The LaserWriter Pro 810 also accepts jobs to arbitrarily defined port
numbers.
Solution: TCP/IP - AppleTalk Conversion (LPR-PAP)
If you have a non-TCP/IP LaserWriter, you can translate LPR print jobs to
PAP sessions in AppleTalk. This allows you to print with a TCP/IP based
system and the printer to receive an AppleTalk print job.
Translation of TCP/IP to AppleTalk is available in several types of
products:
Network Hardware
Several vendors have made network hardware products that accept LPR jobs
using TCP/IP and forward them as PAP jobs using AppleTalk. Most of these
products are no longer manufactured, although you may find them installed in
established sites. The only shipping product that Apple is aware of is
GatorPrint by Cayman Systems. This package is software that is installed on
Cayman routers.
AppleTalk for UNIX Systems
Most AppleTalk software for UNIX systems include print spooling and
conversion utilities. Here is a partial list of products:
* Helios Ethershare
* K-Spool from Mt. Xinu.
* uShare from Information Presentation Technologies, Inc.
* CAP (Columbia AppleTalk Package) from Columbia University.
* netatalk from the University of Michigan
AppleTalk on Other Advanced Server Operating Systems
In theory, multi-protocol operating systems such as Novell NetWare, Windows
NT, and OS/2 can receive jobs with a TCP/IP spooler and forward them to an
AppleTalk based print spooler. We have seen few customers sites with this
configuration.
This solution works for the following LaserWriter models:
Model Port Notes
LaserWriter (original) LocalTalk Must be connected to Ethernet using a
LocalTalk-Ethernet bridge
LaserWriter Plus LocalTalk Must be connected to Ethernet using a
LocalTalk-Ethernet bridge
LaserWriter IINT LocalTalk Must be connected to Ethernet using a
LocalTalk-Ethernet bridge
LaserWriter IINTX LocalTalk Must be connected to Ethernet using a
LocalTalk-Ethernet bridge
LaserWriter IIf LocalTalk Must be connected to Ethernet using a
LocalTalk-Ethernet bridge
LaserWriter IIg Ethernet -
Personal LaserWriter NT LocalTalk Must be connected to Ethernet using a
LocalTalk-Ethernet bridge
Personal LaserWriter NTR LocalTalk Must be connected to Ethernet using a
LocalTalk-Ethernet bridge
Personal LaserWriter 320 LocalTalk Must be connected to Ethernet using a
LocalTalk-Ethernet bridge
LaserWriter Select 360 LocalTalk Must be connected to Ethernet using a
LocalTalk-Ethernet bridge
LaserWriter Pro 600 LocalTalk -
LaserWriter Pro 630 Ethernet -
LaserWriter 4/600 LocalTalk Must be connected to Ethernet using a
LocalTalk-Ethernet bridge
Note: AppleTalk printing is traditionally define as PostScript only, Apple
recommends sending only PostScript over AppleTalk to printers.
Solution: Direct Serial or Parallel Connections
Most Apple LaserWriter models have serial and parallel ports for Windows
printing. UNIX (and to a lesser degree Windows NT and Novell NetWare)
servers can be configured to receive TCP/IP jobs and spool using a direct
connection to the printer.
Connection configuration (serial and parallel) and page description language
(text, PostScript, and PCL) vary by LaserWriter model.
Although Apple serial and parallel ports conform to industry standards,
these configurations are not supported by Apple Computer, Inc. Apple
Technical support may include articles that describe sample configurations
for illustrative purposes only.
This class of solutions applies to all the LaserWriters listed in the
previous table, as well as the LaserWriter Select 310 printer.
No Solution Available
The following Apple LaserWriter printers do not have a TCP/IP printing
solution, due to lack of PostScript and/or PCL support.
* LaserWriter IISC
* Personal LaserWriter LS
* Personal LaserWriter SC
* Personal LaserWriter 300
* LaserWriter Select 300

I'd check your /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files to see if
your allowing only local connections
They would read
/etc/hosts.allow
ALL: LOCAL
/etc/hosts.deny
ALL: ALL
That may not be the exact case since ftp is letting connections
through. If that is the case try allowing connections from hosts that
you know.

You can't use winmodems and friends with Linux. The way around it is
to buy a modem that works with operating systems other than MS OSs .
If you have read this in "many places" then why did you think the answer
would be different here? To repeat: YOU CAN'T USE WINMODEMS WITH LINUX.

No, if it says winmodem specifically you are really out of luck. Winmodems work
by giving the processing load to the CPU using the OS apis. But if the OS you
have is not the same one that is supported then, you will never get that modem
to work.
You may now pay homage to the win monopoly that made winmodems possible. Say
thank you.

It should detect and install the proper drivers during installation.
The DEC chips are very well supported under Linux.

Hi Larry,

This seems to be a problem in understanding how packet filtering does
work. Packets coming from outside to your masquerading host are input
too!
Something like:
ipchains -P input DENY
ipchains -A input -j ACCEPT -s 192.168.2.0/24 -d 0/0 -i eth0
ipchains -A input -j ACCEPT -s ! 192.168.2.0/24 -d 0/0 -i ppp0
^^^
should work.
You can replace the "0/0" marked with "^^^" by the public IP address of
your gateway. That's simple if it is static but can also be established
with an dynamic address by changing this rule whenever the address does
change, e.g. in /etc/ppp/ip-up when using PPP.

This assumption is false.

Hi,
I am trying to set up a web server using Apache on RedHat 5.2. The purpose
of this is so I can use and improve CGI's (written in Perl).
Does anybody know where there is some kind of how-to page for setting up an
Apache web server to execute CGI scripts locally?
Which files do I need to edit and what lines need to be added?
Currently when I use Netscape and point it to
http://localhost.localdomain/
An error dialogue appears saying that Netscape can not find
localhost.localdomain.
Other errors I have had are that Netscape can not execute the POST method
for a certain CGI that I am trying reference.
