Do you have the right hints file, and set your other computers to use
your DNS? The information you give here doesn't seem to be sufficient.
What's your named.conf file look like? Your other machine's
resolv.conf? etc.

Probably obvious, but O'Reily's DNS and BIND really helps. (I can even

You can also use an Apache server on your Linux box:
in the httpd.conf you must create the following virtual host
<VirtualHost www.yourdomain.tld>
ServerName www.yourdomain.tld
ServerAdmin root
DocumentRoot /home/somedir/
ProxyRequests On
ProxyPass / http://192.168.1.10/
</VirtualHost>
I assume 192.168.1.10 is the IP of your Win95 box
In this way you can have many web servers in your net (configured as
virtual hosts)
If you make a ip forwarding all requests on the port 80 on your Linux Box
will be redirected to your .
Hope I could help you

Subject: Are internal IP DNSes a bad idea?
Date: Tue, 25 May 1999 16:26:23 -0700
Hi all,
I've put together a network in my house with a bunch
of computers and just one external IP address. I'm kind
of cheap and don't want to buy a handful of external IP
addresses if I don't have to.
So I have a NAT box that take incoming packets and
translates them to internal IP addresses and vice versa.
To my upstream provider, I look just like a single
computer.
This really works great except for a couple of things
I really can't figure out.
For example, if I wanted to use 2 web servers, I don't
know how I would use NAT to route the correct packet
to the correct web server if I only have 1 external IP
address. Perhaps it can't be done. Of course I don't
reeealllly need 2 web servers, but I'm just wondering.
It seems like I would have to have a NAT that
understood HTTP 1.1 to make it work.
Thanks for any ideas!

The same hapened to me last year: got 2 3c509's, installed and connected
to LAN. Although I could start the interface, the system was not
accessible. In 'ifconfig' output I noticed it TX'ed a lot of packets
successfully but RX'ed only few. I played around for over a day thinking
it was something else then gave up and exchanged the card on the same
model and the replacement worked instantly.

You either haven't compiled the packet filter in the kernel or you have it
compiled as a module and you have to load it manually with
insmod af_packet
Now, I don't know why it doesn't get autoloaded and I'd love to have

Hi Chameleon,

>the same irq as your modem?
I'm not a serial/communications expert, but the UART just says what kind
of serial port you use (which affects speed), which has no effect on
IRQs. It's just that my modem is on ttyS2 IRQ 5, instead of the "normal"
4, which the kernel defaults to. I had to change -> IRQ 5 so Windows
didn't have a fit when it came to setting up my modem.
>Wouldn't this be the same as changing the irq?
Nope. It doesn't matter what IRQ is used, if the UART is set
incorrectly, then things won't work properly (as I discovered).
>In the past when the actual serial port address is using the same irq

Aaah, when you talk about "serial port address", you mean the I/O
address. Those have "standard" assignments (I think), but can, of
course, be changed. But in your case yeah, it'd be easier just to switch
the modem IRQ if you had conflicting I/O addresses. It's not a BIOS
problem, though.
(sorry, this bit's not related to the thread)
My next project: convince the IT bods at college that Linux would be
useful. It's an all-NT place, and I think they're very attached to NT. I
just need some nifty things which Linux can do... and Samba filserving,
Apache web servers for the students, network-wide scans for NB/BO/etc
(with results auto-emailed to the admin, of course), IMAP mail accounts
(don't know how that'll work on an open network security-wise), and a
backup domain controller (I don't know whether/how that would work,
either, apart from the beta Samba PDC code) all might not be enough to
sway them.
Agh, I need some useful things it can do! Does anyone have any ideas as
to how I can sway the IT people so Linux can integrate nicely into a
college NT network? Most importantly, it would be nice if it made the
admins' lives easier, as that would be a very big incentive for them :-)

I use diald and like it.
I have seen several examples in comp.protocols.ppp and this newsgroup
on how to set up the demand dialing feature in pppd. To use this,
you need to be using pppd 2.3.0 or later. For other examples, I
would download the pppd source file archive and read the documents
included. The latest versions can be downloaded from here:
ftp://cs.anu.edu.au/pub/software/pub/
There is an article in the latest Linux Gazette on how to set up
diald. The address is: http://www.linuxgazette.com.
My feelings on the matter is that diald is harder to set up but
gives you better control on what will bring up your link. The
demand dialing feature of pppd just brings up the link with no
control on what brings up the link.

Which version of BIND are you using? (named.boot or named.conf) You
should be able to find sample configs under /usr/doc; Slackware
distributes a working sample under /etc.
No you don't need to copy anything. Just tell your named that you want
to be slave to a master. (Called secondary in BIND 4 and earlier.) But
if your secondary is for disaster recovery, you have to weigh the merit
of using a slave or do a mirror (copy). For if the master is
irreversibly down and you wait too long to convert your secondary to
master, the data can be lost.

Don't quote me on this but I think you need to set up your getty
program to look for rings from your modem. I believe you need to
look at modifying your /etc/gettydefs file for this.
I also believe there is a program called mgetty which is better
suited for this. At least reading mgettys documentation might
get you going.
I just got to thinking that if you want to offer pppd to someone
dialing in, I would look at the pppd source archive file. There
is an example there on how to set this up. You can get the latest
pppd source archive from:

Subject: Are 2 DNS servers a good idea?
Date: Tue, 25 May 1999 16:39:08 -0700
Hi,
I've put up a DNS server that works great with packets
that are coming in from the outside thru a NAT router.
The DNS server itself is on a non-routable IP, but is
still reachable from the outside, the packets that it
creates just go back out thru the NAT machine to
whomever needs the information.
The machine INSIDE my network also use the DNS
server to find things OUTSIDE my network and that
work great.
There's just one little hitch. If I want an internal client
to find an INTERNAL resourse, my DNS server tells
them the EXTERNAL IP address and of course then
the clients can't find that resource.
(the packets fly out the NAT router, hit the external NIC
and never return)
I've put HOSTS files on all the client machine inside
the network that sort of works but it's all a kludge.
I've heard of others that solve this problem by putting
up 2 DNS servers: 1 for external clients and 1 for
internal clients. This seems like it would work, but
it seems like double the work.
What's the slickiest, savviest, way to get a DNS server
to handle internal and external clients? Or maybe I
should just redo my entire network?
Thanks for any thoughts!

^^^^^^^^
Naja, _so_ alt ist IP unter Unix nun auch wieder nicht. Manche
kommerziellen Unices sind vor 5 bis 10 Jahren sogar noch ohne IP rausgekommen.
"Immer" ist etwas laenger.
Wenn ein Design Stuss ist, und icmp redirects sind Stuss, zwar
aus der Historie erklaerbar, da hat man ja alles moegliche in den
DoD Salat gemengt, aber es ist und bleibt Stuss, kann man es nun
langsam ja mal verabschieden.
Nur weil man in den letzten 10 Jahren all die Schnapsideen,
die vor dreissig Jahren mal erdacht wurden, auch noch eingebaut
hat, ist das kein Grund, sie wieder hinauszuwerfen.
Und wer es moechte, moege halt im gated einen Prozess fuer
icmp redirect aufsetzen.

Yes, I've had a 168k DSL connection for about two months now, and I
wouldn't go back to ANYTHING else! I pay a little less than you're
being quoted, but I think you'll find that the 'always on' aspect - and
the reliability - of DSL is worth plenty.
Good luck!

The box said 'WIN95/98 or better.' so I installed LINUX!
