Well Kite, I think your problem isn`t the PPPCompress-module, but your
nameserver or your connection with your ISP. Maybe you should try to
connect by a communication soft like minicom and try to estabilish a ppp
connection. If everything goes ok, try to ping a IP (like your IP and
your netmask). If all this goes ok, try a hostname, like altavista.com.
So have you find the problem? If it`s the nameserver, try to get your
ISP namserver`s IP and set it as your default one at your linux BOX.
Hope you be successful :)

Seems like both of your ethernet cards are sending but not receiving.
Are interrupts correct? May need DOS setup software to insure this.
Is cabling correct? Crossover cable between the 2 machines, or a hub with
regular cable.

Or use Squid (a proxy) and it's redirector feature. I have done a
redirector to block access to certain sites, it could be easyly
modified to block URLs containing special patterns (even regexps).
If your interested, I can send it to you, just let me know.

Subject: Routing & Masquerading
Date: Mon, 24 May 1999 17:49:16 +1000
Hi All,
I am hoping that someone can provide me with some assistance. I am at wits
end.
The situation is :
I am replacing our internal router which is a packet filter between our
external network and internal network. The external network has another
router on the external interface which provides the link to the internet.
I had a RedHat 5.2 machine masquerading our internal addresses and have
replaced it with a RedHat 6.0 machine.
I have set up IP Masquerading correctly. (Can see machines outside internal
router from internal LAN machines)
My problem is that I cannot see any machines outside our external network.
Old Machine : Internal Eth0 192.168.1.1, External Eth1 1.1.1.1
New Machine Internal Eth0 192.168.1.1, External Eth1 1.1.1.2
All subnetting and netmasks are working correctly but packets are not
getting through.
Cheers,
Greg.

If it's an ISA card;
- Switch off PnP
- Switch off media type autodetect

Subject: IP Masquerading Connecting but not working
Date: Mon, 24 May 1999 20:31:38 +1000
At this stage the information I have is a little vague but there may be
enough here for someone to offer some suggestions.
I had a working IP masquerading server running Debian 2.1 (Kernel 2.0.36). I
upgraded the kernel to 2.2.8 (by hand compiling it etc, as opposed to using
the package manager, for which 2.2.8 wasn't available). Things still worked.
I then, in order to install the ICQ masquerading module, installed (using
dselect) ipautofw (Automatic Packet Forwarding i believe) and on top of that
I installed Squid with the idea to set up a caching http proxy. It was after
the next restart that my IP masquerading, although it on the surface
appeared to work, really didn't.
>From the computers on the local network you can start to connect to a web
site but it will not get beyond "Site found, waiting for reply". Simularly
when checking email it can connect, authorise and then say downloading
message 1 of 10, but it doesn't get beyond that (ie, no progress into the
download). ICQ also works a little. It connects, you can see who is on, but
when you try to get someones info it complains you are not on the internet.
The rules in IPChains havn't changed since it was working.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks

That line should be in ip-down. You should also execute it before
referencing ippp0.
This is what happens:
1. You execute all isdnctrl and ifconfig calls to initialise ippp0.
2. You execute "ipppd &"
3. You execute "route add default ippp0"
4. You access ippp0 , e.g. by pinging its IP-number
5. ipppd calls the number installed through isdnctrl, and then executes
/etc/ppp/ip-up.
6. After the connection is terminated, ipppd calls /etc/ppp/ip-down.
7. If "route add default ippp0" was in /etc/ppp/ip-down, then continue
from step 4. Else continue from step 3.

Yes. Try using bzImage or modules.
Seriously, this is a frequently asked question, and is explained in the
kernel source README. Using "make bzImage" will leave you with a kernel
called bzImage in arch/i386/boot, which will work. Alternatively,
compile some things as modules (anything you don't need at boot).

Hello Kieth,
welcome to the seemingly mystical world of linux.
first thing that you should do is turn off apmd "advanced power
managment daemon" (this is for notebook computers, and you don't sound
like you need that from the problem your having.) To do that once your
machine boots, type setup at the command prompt. 9Make sure you're not
in an X-windows session or you will have a core dump. You will see a
list of items in a somewhat graphical display, look for NTSYSV and run
that. Look for apmd and uncheck the box. This will stop the apmd daemon
from being started at boot time.
As far as PPP goes you have what you need, but it needs to be
configured. You will find the configuration file in /etc/PPP/options.
There are some sample configurations explaining what different options
mean in /usr/docs/PPP.
here is the first /etc/ppp/options configuration I used, it should work
for you.
modem
noipdefault
ipcp-accept-local
ipcp-accept-remote
mru 590
mtu 590
nodetach
defaultroute
If your using rh5, you are probably using the modem tool on the controll
panel, make sure you have the right com port configured for your modem.
Use netconfig to set up your internet account, and to connect to the
net.
Have fun,
mike

if the two networks are internal networks each on a seperate subnet you
ned two nic's to have your machine respond to both.
