If you're using IP Masquerading, then it's recommended that you leave
mtu and mru at 1500.

Does dmesg report any problems with eth1?
Why don't you try and get connection with your LAN through eth1?
Copy /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 to a temporary file, and
copy /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 to
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1.
Type "#ifup eth1" and try to acces your lan.
Succes? -> your NIC is working properly on Linux.

Both cards are assigned to the same subnet (255.255.255.0), is this
correct?
I don't know how @home or your cable modem works or should be
configured, but I do know I had about the same problems when I tried to
hook up my (com21) modem to the cable network using 2 NIC's.
Turned out to be an interrupt problem :-)

Subject: How slow are ipchain entries?
Date: Sat, 22 May 1999 10:27:48 GMT
While playing with ipchains and rp_filter something in the
HOWTO surfaced (the choice between ease of maintenance and
performance). Has anyone measured the speed of various ipchain
styles?
It looks like jumps are pretty cheap in small quantities but
could get expensive in volume, and logging pretty expensive in
general, so I was thinking of benchmarking variations, which
led to wondering if anyone else already has . . .

Nearly all of them do. But they dont let u retrieve te info from the dial-in
server, but the dial-in router asks the radius for permission to let a user

I think Squid will do what you need. It's an http proxy server, and
you should be able to configure it to disallow certain sites, or only
allow certain sites, etc. and probably monitor what's actually
visited. The URL is squid.nlanr.net

i set up another ip on eth0 as follows:

ok, i can ping new ip address locally and from outside and it works.
only... it does not show up in ifconfig list. there is just eth0 but not

I read the /usr/doc/HOWTO/mini/Cable-Modem mini howto, and there are a few
different ways
that cable modem systems are designed.
You might want to read that mini howto.
You might want to tell us which cable system you are using.

Hi ! I just installed RH6.0 and cannot get networking to work. I am
experiencing the same problem with two different ethernet cards, but I
don't know how to lacte it. Here is the deal:
1) both cards (Intel Ether Express Pro/10+ and 3Com 3C900 Boomerang) are
detected at boot time
2) If I do ifconfig eth0 this is what I get (with the 3Com card)
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:4B:BB:5F:A0
inet addr:24.0.167.174 Bcast:24.0.167.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:72 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:49 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
Interrupt:9 Base address:0xff00
I cannot detect anything obviously wrong, except the very low TX,RX
numbers.
3) If I do route, or netstat -r, I get
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
24.0.167.174 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0
24.0.167.0. * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default 24.0.167.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
(the last line takes several minutes to appear on the screen)
4) ping localhost works, but ping XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX does not; telnet
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX yields
telnet:Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host
5) Host names are not resolved, even though the file /etc/resolv.conf
contains all the info needed).
Any hint as to where the problem may lie ? The same system with RH5.2
worked without any problem...
TIA,

Hi,
this is not Linux specific problem, but since this the only even closely
related NG I read please bear with me.
I've recently got Diamond SupraExpress 336V modem which has this annoying
feature of hanging up if theres nothing happening in the line for about 20
seconds. I know this is a feature but havent found a way to disable it. So
could someone give me the AT command to kill this feature?

Subject: LANCE/AMD driver bug
Date: Sat, 22 May 1999 07:34:21 -0400
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'm trying to use the lance drivers to get Linux running on an HP425SX
diskless workstation made by HP. It's based on a 486 processor, and
includes
a 79C960 on-board network adapter. It's *not* a Vectra.
The LANCE drivers (drivers/net/lance.c) assume that anything:
- with an HP BIOS
- and on-board ethernet hardware
must be a Vectra. So, instead of probing for the base, IRQ, etc it
just pull the values out of the BIOS (and gets garbage, in my case)
and uses those.
Ideally, a better solution would be to use these values to test for the
hardware and if it doesn't initialize properly then fallback to
probing.
But I wanted to ask for feedback here before approaching the maintainers
in case I've completely mis-read the source.
The key section appears around line 568:
} else if (hpJ2405A) {
If I break lance.c at this point (so that it fails to see my hardware as
a
hpJ2405A) it will instead initialize the card through probing, and
everything
will run properly.
Of course, my fix breaks the driver for everyone else (maybe?), so
perhaps
there is something better?

Try to ping your nameserver or cbs.com, if it does not check your
nameserver. Then you have a DNS problem.

The version of pump supplied with 6.0 does not work with roadrunner. At
least I have found this to be so. The updated version does work. You can
either get the updated version of pump or edit '/etc/resolv.conf'. I bet
if you look at /etc/resolv.conf you won't see your nameservers, only the
word search. Hope this helps.

DENY just ignore the packet, REJECT sends a icmp telling that the host is
unreacheable.
I prefer REJECT , it's more "friendly"
Depends how much you hate other hosts!!!!
I don't hate anyone, so prefer to tell them I'm unreacheable.
