Did you *specifically* telnet to the "nntp" port as I suggested, not to
the login port?
It's entirely possible (even likely) that the machine you're trying to
reach is firewalled against ping connections and telnet connections to
the login port.
What do you see when you do "traceroute nntp.ix.netcom.com"?
When you dial in through your Linux box, is your client IP address the
same (or in the same subnet) as when you dial in through your Windows
box?
You mentioned that Netscape browsing works. Is it possible that your
browser is configured to use a proxy Web server?

I had a similar problem. Drove me crazy for several days. Then I
finally thought it might be the card (mine was a 3com 3c509b) so I
bought another one (I think it was a 3 com 9000 series or something)
and within 30 minutes (I had to recompile the kernel) I was pinging
successfully.
The weird thing is that linux appeared to recognize the card. The
interface appeared to be up and running. But it was just dead to the
world.
Does your card appear to be getting recognized by linux? (there
should be something about it in /var/log/dmesg You might also have a
look at /var/log/messages while you are at it, might be something
useful there) Have you tried using the ifconfig command to see if the
interface thinks it is up? There is some kind of switch to force
ifconfig to show info for all interfaces, active or not. (look in man
page).
Can the windows boxes ping each other?
try to find some how-to's on ethernet. www.linux.org is not a bad
place to start. Also redhat.com. There are also a bunch of how-to's
on the redhat cd (at least on version 5.2's cd). If you get to the
point that you think it *is* the interface card, make sure you consult
the hardware compatibility list at redhat.com before you buy a new
one. Good luck.

.
The issue is, the two ISP's will route to you at different address spaces.
NAT
or no NAT, your external address on each router will be different.
Typically in
this scenario, you run BGP to each ISP and have full redundancy.
Should you have web servers or ftp servers etc this config would be very
tricky.
Furthermore, your routers would need to run HSRP or your clients default
gateway to themselves and your routers run Proxy Arp so the router
redundancy
internally would work.
Many issues. I would suggest checking into the BGP route. A good service
provider or some reading could get you there.

Hi!
Thanks.
I've tried to use the 3c509 module but linux will still not detect it. I've
also also tried with different io ant irq parameters.
Which parameters are working for you?

Download a program called 'SoftSet' or similar. It is available
somewhere at Intel techsupport section. Boot to DOS. Run 'softset2.exe'
or similar (dont' remember its exact name), disable PnP and hard set all
the parameters to the ones you like. Write down what you picked. Cold
boot to Linux and use the settings that you wrote before, to load the
driver. If it's a dual boot box you have to boot into Windows, go to
"Device Manager" thingy (I assume you're using 95 or 98?), open resource
properties of the card, uncheck "autoconfigure parameters" and also
specify the same constant resource settings for the card.
Hope it helps,
Vlad

Date: Tue, 25 May 1999 00:16:42 -0700
Hi all you helpful folks-
I have a linuxbox with a static connection to the Internet, and a win95
box on my LAN using the linuxbox as a gateway.
I would like to run Apache on my win95 box to serve a filemaker pro
database to the world, and am wondering if there is a way to do that
with my present configuration? (I read something about port forwarding,
but was unclear if that's a solution).
If not, what's the best change to my set up (keeping my Linuxbox as the
gateway) to make my win95 box into a webserver?

Subject: IP masq problem : works well, then drops
Date: Tue, 25 May 1999 09:21:20 +0200
Hello.. I've first installed Linux two days ago, as I needed IP
masquerading. the set-up is, one 486DX4-100 w/Linux (RedHat 5.2,
2.0.36), two win95 comps, one hub, and one cable modem.
after booting the linux box, I enable IP masquerading with the
followings
ipfwadm -F -p deny
ipfwadm -F -a masquerade -S 192.168.1.0/24 -D 0/0
ipfwadm -F -a deny -S 0/0 -D 0/0 -o
and it works fine. The linux box gets a dynamic IP adress on eth0 from
my ISP through DHCP, and has a local (192.168.1.1) alias IP on eth0:0
Then, two hours sharp laters, the following happens : the linux box
remains on-line, and I can browse from it just fine, but the IP alias on
eth0:0 'disappears' from the ifconfig output (no other change from
regular output, though), and the linux box is no longer accessible in
any way from the two other comps.
the linux install is a very basic one, straight from the CD, no extra
modules or anything else running, but the networking daemons, and I
didn't notice anything in the cron that would happen every two hours.
However, when I log from one of my windows comp, the winipcfg shows that
the duration of the lease on my IP is 2h.. so I'm guessing there's a
connection of some kind..
I've tried resetting the eth0:0 alias by command lines, as per the
ipaliasing mini-howto linked from Linux.org, and either I messed up the
command line somewhere, or it's not working.. the ifconfig output shows
an eth0:0 addie again, but the masquerading won't work again, even after
flushing and resetting the ipfwadm policies.. so for now, whenever I
need both windows computer on-line, I need to reboot linux every two
hours, which is very painful.. If someone knows of a howto covering that
problem, or has any insights to help me get the thing working.. It would
be greatly appreciated, as I'm really puzzled.
Thank you in advance

First of all, my guess is that with profiles you mean that you want the
desktop and shit to be left on the server.
Second, you didn't state which version of Samba you're using and there are
many diffs between the ones going around. (PDC support for example)

If all you want is the desktop and user.dat to stay on the server, in
/home/username/ make a directory named ".profile" (include the dot!)
When Windows detects this directory, it stores the profle overthere,
including startmenu.

NO! The netlogon dir is required to make logons possible and it's not there
to store user-specific data.

Samba fools Windows to "think" it is in a domain. However, Samba does NOT
work with a SAM file, so there is no list to choose from.

Get familiar with the way SAMBA works and the diffs with NT by reading both
manuals...
Maybe your local library has a copy of "Samba, connecting unix and windows"
It's not new, but explains a lot!
