I am assuming your available system resources are MS in nature.
There are basically 2 different classes of monitoring tools you are
considering.
HPOV is a great birds eye view of the network and very useful in a
proactive capacity. If you have RMON capable hubs/switches, it can also
be a great troubleshooting tool. SNMPc is also a handy and probably
more affordable tool for big picture network monitoring.
For a fire-fight though, you can not beat a protocol analyzer. My
personal favorite is Network Associates (fomerly Network General)
sniffer. I imagine the price tag is a little too steep for your
network. Net Assoc. also has a NT-based tool called SnifferPro that I
have used and liked. Finally, there is a tool called Surveyor made by
shomiti that is also rich in functionality.
Good luck.

Reply-To: "Davide Marzaloni" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Salve a tutti.
Ho un problema di routing e qualche domanda spicciola.
1. posso usare un kernel scaricato da sunsite.unc.edu (linux-2.2.8.tar.gz)
su una macchina installata con RedHat (5.2)?
2. ricompilando il kernel 2.2.8 non trovo pi� IP forwardind/gatewaying:
doc'e' finito?
3. situazione:
RedHat 5.2, kernel standard 2.0.36
rete interna: IP fittizi 172.16.0.0 255.255.0.0 (ethernet-> eth0)
rete esterna: IP reali (194.X.Y.Z 255.255.255.0) (token ring-> tr0)
-boot con il kernel standard.
-carico i moduli delle due schede di rete (insmod 3c509, insmod ibmtr)
-configuro con ifconfig le due schede di rete (ifconfig eth0 172.16....)
-aggiungo le due reti di cui fanno parte le due schede (route add -net
.....)
-aggiungo anche una default gateway per sicurezza (router Cisco connesso su
internet
con porta Token, vista dalla porta Token del firewall.)
Problema: dalla macchina Linux pingo l'esterno e l'interno tranquillamente.
Dalla rete interna pingo la scheda (eth0) interna del "firewall", pingo
l'esterna
(con indirizzamento valido su internet),ma non pingo fuori (internet).
Ovviamente tutti i client hanno come df gateway l'indirizzo interno della
eth0 del "firewall"
(o provato anche con l'esterno)
Ovviamente ho gi� impostato le poliche del firewall per far passare tutto.
Lo stesso probleam ce l'ho con un kernel 2.2.8 ricompilato con firewalling e
ipchains.
Cosa dimentico?
Avete suggerimenti?
grazie

I imagine your problem is that both eth0 and eth1 are on the same
segment. While this is doable, it isn't recommended.
My guess is that it tries to take the first route and that just happens
to be via eth1, which as you said isn't connected to anything.
Get 1 thing working at a time. Turn off eth1.
ifconfig eth1 down
What is the route to host 255.255.255.255????
Find where that is getting set and remove it.
For now,
route del 255.255.255.255

This is a very vague question. Perhaps you could be more specific? Do you
want to use a modem to connect to your ISP? Cable? DSL? If it is a modem
then you use PPP (dialup networking) just like under Windows or Mac. Do
you need help with the PPP setup?

Did you enable ICMP masquerading in the kernel? If not, external pings

Verdreifacht? Wie kommst du da drauf. Ich denke das sind deutlich weniger

That is preposterous.. Of course you can telnet to Linux via Windows NT..
There is absolutly no reason why you shouldn't be able to.. I do it all the
time. Simply type telnet 192.168.0.20 (or the IP of your Linux box) and it
should work. Why don't you tell me what happens when you try it and maybe
we can troubleshoot it.

Bart;
The only time I've seen what you are describing is when the following
file system is on a different partition or device.
ie: if root is on /dev/hd1 and you mount it nfs you will not be able
to see /usr if it is on say /dev/hd2 eventhough it is mounted on /
Is this your case?

Date: Wed, 26 May 1999 23:03:10 GMT
Hi, I am using RH6.0, through Intel eepro 100NIC to a small
10/100HUB, which connected to a 64KB DSL modem. The question
is its speed is much slow, even slower than 56k modem! When I
connected to an NT machine in the same subnet, the speed was
intolarable. However, the NT machine connects to outer network
quite well (it uses a 3c905B 100 NIC). And the 2 NT machines
has normal speed in this subnet. So I think it may be the NIC's
problem, either hardware or driver.
Does any one have the same problem?

I'm running a 10baseT hub, and my linux box is connecting to it through a
10/100baseT card. The card is DEC21143. The card is driven by de4x5.o or
some name like that. Unfortunately, that module seems to only run my card
at 100baseT, precluding it from connecting to the 10baseT hub!!
in specific the error is as such...
>eth0 error: media is 10 mb/s
>eth0 error: media is 100 mb/s
those 2 approximate lines pop up on the prompt over and over again, about
every 5 minutes or so.
is there a module that will run the card 10baseT rather than 100baseT, so it
can connect to the hub?

Point taken, I understand people with expertise in many Unix clones are
providing great support. I should have stated my appreciation in more
general terms. I'm using linux redhat to introduce myself to the Unix OS,
but I'm not married to it and will be expanding my knowledge of the various

someday I'll be reasonably competent, but now I'm still a newbie.

I think "nobody" is nothing to worry about. I get those, but I don't
worry about it because I don't have a full time connection to the
internet. It probably is, as someone suggested, some kind of cron
job or something similar. I think nobody is some kind of dummy user
that the system sets up automatically.
I never saw an identd entry in my messagtes file until two nights ago.
It happened when one of the users behind our linux firewall logged in
to his pop3 mail server somewhere outside the firewall. The identd
query came ( or claimed to come) from the mail server. I don't really
know what identd does, but I know it plays a role in authentication.
I figure the request I had was legitimate, but I don't see why anyone
needs to know that information (apparently it returns userid and
pid!), so I turned it off after that, with no ill effects, yet.
As someone already suggested, make sure you turn off the services that
are being targeted. And I'm pretty sure you are being targeted, but I
don't think anyone has access yet. I don't know. I would reccommend
turning off rlogin and rsh, if you don't need them and haven't already
done so.
Anyway, don't panic !
oh, yeah, when you change inetd.conf, you don't have to reboot, just
type:
% killall -HUP inetd

I was driven to diald because when I tried to use pppd in the demand
mode I got an error from pppd saying that kernel driver 2.2 didn't
support demand option. something like that. It sounded like it would
be hard to work around, so I downloaded diald 0.16 and patched it to
0.16.5. Then I compiled (with two warnings, strangely) and installed
it. I mostly just followed the detailed instructions that I found
somewhere in the package. I messed around with my pppd configuration
file and a chat connect script until I got that all right. Then I
edited the configuration file for diald until it seemed right. (at
this point, I had to remove several options from the pppd options file
because the diald documentaion said that those options should never be
fed to pppd, but should be fed to diald instead) I can't remember if
it worked the very first time, but it wasn't too bad once I had gotten
that far. I got it to the point where all I had to do was type
"diald" at the command prompt to start it with all the options I
wanted. Then I put that command in rc.local. Now it starts
automatically on reboot. It seems pretty solid on my Redhat 5.2
machine.
I think finding where to download diald, and how to uncompress it and
patch it was the hardest part. ( I don't have a guru to consult with,
so I had to figure it all out from books and searching email archives
at linux sites and man pages and stuff )
Now I like diald. It's much better than giving out root passwords to
my housemates who share the connection. ;-)

This one has been fixed in the current CVS version of PHP. For now, simply
delete line 69 of datetime.c and PHP should compile for you. Sorry, don't
know how to solve your MySQL problem.

Subject: Help locating driver for Intel EE PRO/10 PCI?

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I am setting up OpenLinux 2.2 on a PC which has an Intel EtherExpress
PRO/10 PCI NIC. According to Caldera's hardware lists, this device
requires the eep10pci.o driver.
No such driver is to be found on my hard disk, on the CD, or on
Caldera's
2.2 ftp site. (It does exist on Caldera's 1.3 site, however.)
Does anyone know where I can find the latest version of this driver?
Thanks,
Pete Roberts

The pppd execution script and the pppd options would also help speed

The other provider apparently allows the chat scripted login/password
(although the chat messages don't appear in the log), the one you're
having trouble with doesn't. It requires PAP or CHAP authentication;
I tried to describe the way to configure these in an earlier post.
The log for the one that fails tells me you haven't done this yet - or
that you have pppd options that prevent PAP or CHAP negotiation, such as
refuse-pap, refuse-chap, or even the older -pap or -chap which still work.
