My guess is he's behind a Cisco 675 or equivilent router with NAT/PAT
in the router. The router is his default gateway and DHCP server. All
addresses are non-backbone routable in this configuration.

Why fork out the money for RH6??? Get Mandrake Linux for a couple of bucks
online, or let me know, and I'll burn ya a copy for the price of a cd. It's
just as good as RH(it's a RH clone), and I've been able to get it setup
great.

Subject: PPP Problem: What does my ISP want?
Date: Thu, 20 May 1999 02:24:53 GMT
With all the threads I've seen on this topic, I propose a new
newsgroup--alt.os.linux.pppd
I am trying to get a PPP connection to Netcom. From their web page, I
am using the following command (I've modified it a little for data
rate):
/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyS2 115200 \
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/chat-netcom" \
debug defaultroute modem crtscts lock
I'm using the following chat script:
ABORT BUSY
ABORT 'NO CARRIER'
#'' ATZ
#OK AT+FCLASS=0
#OK AT&F&C1&D2
#OK
'' ATDT13108960011
CONNECT ''
login: us,ppp,simberg
Password: AdAstra8
'PPP session' ''
I commented out the modem commands because I wasn't sure they were
relevant to my setup, and it seems to dial OK without them. Again,
this is the script from Netcom's web page on the subject.
I'm using the following options file:
domain ix.netcom.com
ipcp-accept-local
ipcp-accept-remote
noipdefault
#noauth
#passive
#lock
#crtscts
#defaultroute
The first four are what Netcom recommends--the others are experiments
that I've been trying, but I get the same results with or without any
of them. Also note that I've commented out the last three because I
invoke them in the command line.
Here's the log:

This is just a wild guess, but it looks like the server side (your Linux
box) can't open a display. On the linux side, try:
xhost +<your local server name>
and then restart xvnc.
If that doesn't help, is there some kind of .xsession-errors log that
vnc creates to give you a clue why it isn't happy?
maybe u betta off running the _server_ on NT and the _client_ on linux
:-)

two possible things that can go wrong here :
-same user and same password on both machines OR
-enable plaintextpassword somewhere in registry ( or there is some
setting in samba to use the encrypted pw that win98 and winnt send)
one of those mostly does the trick

Subject: Problem telnetting to a machine
Date: Wed, 19 May 1999 16:16:58 +0300
Hello!
I am having a problem with a machine that won't let me
telnet into it.
When I try I get this:
$ telnet 10.0.0.2
Trying 10.0.0.2...
Connected to 10.0.0.2.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
$
And that's it. The interfaces are set up properly, the
IPs are indeed 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2 over a plip line.
Pings work, and from the machine's console I am able to
telnet to its peer. I have even set up the peer as a
router for it, and doing masquerading for it. The
problem machine can telnet over the internet without
problem.
I am also able to open X apps from the problem machine
to its peer, without trouble.
Any ideas?
I'd appreciate direct emails and promise to post the
solution when found.
Thanks,
Amit Margalit

You need to put your nameserver addresses in /etc/resolv.conf
No, you don't need to specify a DHCP server in Linux, but if you're
using DHCP, you have to configure Linux to run the DHCP client.
It's analagous to configuring Windows to 'get IP address
automatically'.

The ifconfig output and route output looked entirely normal in the earlier
post except for a couple of IP inconsistencies that appeared to be the
result of mixing the output of different sessions. The default route
for the PPP interface was present and the interface up and running.
The log posted this time looked normal except for the signal 15 which
you must have used to terminate the PPP session. There's been progress
since you said in your first post that you could only ping the localhost
and that there was no default route for the PPP interface.
Since you said you have the resolv.conf configured with a nameserver I'm
at a lost for other suggestions. There are ISPs that may configure their
Internet router to prevent pings from getting beyond their domain but they
are comparatively rare.
As much as I hate to do it I'll have to throw
in the towel and hope that someone else has an idea.

I'm very new to this stuff myself but my system is very similar to yours but
right now I have no gateway address set and it works fine. I'm sure when I
setup the fourth box as a firewall /router this will change but that's step
two. Try nulling out the gateway address and see what happens.

You need to turn on more options that just IP forwarding.
>From the /usr/src/linux/.config file, here are my settings:
CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE=y
CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE_ICMP=y
CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE_MOD=y
CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE_IPAUTOFW=m
CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE_IPPORTFW=m
CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE_MFW=m
Now that I think of it, I believe you have to answer "Y"
to the question about "experimental" drivers,
at the very beginning of the configuration dialogue,
in order to get the prompts for IP Masquerading.
Then once you have the needed kernel support,
you have to use "ipchains" instead of "ipfwadm" to set it up.
I added the following lines to rc.local :
ipchains -P forward DENY
ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.0.0/24 -j MASQ
