Hello!

Port forwarding is the solution!

Good luck!

Hmmm!

Two hours... two hours is the default max lease time in dhcpd.conf (if you
copied it from HOWTOs).

I have no problem with iomega scsi products under any Os; however, ide
versions of zip drives give the same problems in WindowsNT and Linux.
Sometimes not unmounting the drive properly and truncating the files
on the disk.

You are too honest and technical in your approach to iomega support.
Play dumb, they do not know what os you have unless you tell them.
Beside what you state, all they know is they have a very unsatisfied
customer.  A lot companies "Do not Support Linux."

Take a different approch and get the some real help next time.

I think this is the correct behavior. The setgid bit (2000) says:
inherit the group from the parent directory, and make new directories
setgid too. It does't affect the other mode bits, which come from
umask. So I think when you did mkdir from the 2 systems, maybe you
had a different umask?

The exports file is looking for a hostname (or @netgroup name, but
the netgroup names only hosts). There is no such thing as exporting
to particular users; NFS exports to hosts.

Whenever I try to connect to my linux server across my LAN using

After establishing the PPP (dialup) link, the default route is not being

What do I need to do to get this set automatically.

why not simply:

ipfwadm -F -d m -S aaa.bbb.ccc.180/32 -D 0.0.0.0/0

-a adds the rule, -d deletes it.

Subject: Re: Redirection using ipchains?
Date: Tue, 25 May 1999 22:44:11 GMT

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

Ok I have spent a week getting sendmail and fetchmail setup so they work
good locally...(users can send each other mail).  Now i wanna make it so
outside users can send emails...  My linux box doesnt have a real host name
(its not registered) so the addresses are gonna be like username@ipaddress
right?

Well anyway my question is what are the steps I should take to convert from
sendmail working locally to real mailserver?

Subject: 3c509B problem solved
Date: Tue, 25 May 1999 13:21:59 +0100


I was having real problems with connecting two machines peer to peer
with 3c509B combo cards. I am running Slackware 3.6.

I used the setup disks on NT4 to configure the cards eeprom.
(in particular setting PnP to OFF).

I followed the excellent book by Fred Butzen and Christoper Hilton
"The Linux Network - ISBN 1-55828-589-X published by M&T Books"
and set the configurations up, rebuilt the kernels etc, but could not get
the damn things to ping each other. I tried BNC first, then bought a hub
and tried twisted pair. Still the same problem.

I was about to post here in desperation and then buy some ZYNX cards
instead (they at least support linux and supply their own driver for the
ZX345Q at USD99 each, by the way - http:\\store.znyx.com).

Anyway, then I found the problem, which is why I'm posting here, it
was that the IRQ I had chosen (10) was set in the BIOS of my machines
as "PCI/ISA PnP" and I changed this to "Legacy ISA" and it works.

I see you have a couple of suggestions to try VNC. Here's a couple of
other options I'll bounce off you if for some reason you don't want to
use VNC.

1. You can set up a telnet demon on NT. Not very elegant but there are
many admin functions you can do with a command line.

2. Did you know that you can set up web administration on NT? That way
you can use Netscape on your Linux mochine to do the Admin thing. It's
been awhile since I used it but I think you can do a great majority of
the tasks with that kind of a setup. I don't remember how I set mine up
so you'd have to look around more or check the MS site.

BTW: I downloaded VNC and started looking at it but I got a little bit
intimidated by it. Can anybody share success/horror stories about it
with me? Is it worth the learning curve? Please send to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks,
Rich

   YIKES!  LOOK at last two lines ABOVE!


By the way, I did have ftp, telnet, and gopher commented 
out in my inetd.conf file.  (This was an attempt to keep 
the hackers from doing those to my machine).  OK - I'm 
still a rookie but this sounds pretty scary.  Nobody on 
my network at home was using their computers.  Nobody I
know was trying to contact my network or firewall.  All
the activity was unexpected.

So I went into inetd.conf and commented out every single 
service and rebooted.  The following showed

Date: Tue, 25 May 1999 22:20:26 -0400

When trying to FTP to my linux box, I get an immediate connection message,
but it takes another two minutes before I get a login prompt.  When I try to
telnet to it, it takes about five minutes.  Any ideas?  This happens even if
I FTP to localhost.

I'm using a 3Com 3C509 and RedHat 5.0.

Thanks.

Jay,

I'm not sure this will solve your problem but..

Try updating to the 2.0.36 kernel. I have three of those cards working here
just fine with the server running 2.0.36 on RedHat 5.2. The two clients are
running kernerl 2.2.9 on RedHat 6.0. The version of the "tulip" driver that
seems to work best is 0.89H.

Excuse me, but they have an 'attitude' vis-a-vis windoze, and its time
they 'got over it'.  I've dealt with them before, and I filed it away
for future reference that we should never admit to anything but being a
windoze user when dealing with them.

I'm not basicly a dishonest person, and it gets under my skin mightily
to have to feed these idiots boatloads of bull muffins to get the
warranty promised on the paper in the box.

Cheers, Gene

As its  name implies, it  is used for  broadcasting IP packets  to the
whole subnet.  Experiment: "ping 192.168.0.255".



    Erik> Also, address 192.168.0.0 is often reserved.

This is used for identifying the whole subnet.
