Ok, here is a revision of my chat script for MSN:
/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyS0 57600 debug connect "usr/sbin/chat -v ''
ATD7528500 ogin: MSN/JOEBLOW assword: JOEPASSWORD IP '' "

The Expect IP Send '' is needed because a return must be issued for
the server's garbage of the PPP session to be initalized. Here is a
copy of the logfile for the session using the previsouly stated

I'm still not certain if PAP or CHAP is needed mainly because I do not
have any information as to what I am receiving from the ISP during
ppd's Config-Requests part of my connection. I believe from my
scouring of the different FAQ's and setup web pages that I should see
something like <auth CHAP>. I am certain that the ISP is spitting out
data (modem lights and minicom) but cannot tell what this data
represents. I'm going to attempt to integrate CHAP into my next trial
and see if the ISP will wake up.

I have checked on this and it is the correct UART. Ports 1 and 2 on my
machine are from a EIDE controller card and are 16550 UART compliant.
Ports 3 and 4 are the machines older 16450 UART ports. I have moved
the modem to just about every port on the machine with no luck. The
previously mentioned route/ipconfig/options output/files remain the
same.

In the end, I believe the LCP: timeout error to be on my end. Each of
my 3 ISPs dumps the same pppd msgs to the log file. With each of the 3
ISPs I have used minicom to connect, input the login and password
information and initiate the ppp data on the server end. I follow this
with a drop to the shell and a initialization of pppd only to find the
same config-request timeout problem.. 

As previously stated, any help is appreciated. If more information is
required please email me or post a follow-up.

This _could_ mean that it's looking to start PAP or CHAP during those

carriage return might cause trouble.

There is one thing that bothers me a little and that is that the UART
you mention is a 16550, which apparently worked so poorly that it was
rapidly replaced by the 16550A .  You may have meant a 16550A, but if
not, be aware that a 16550A must be configured by setserial as a 16550A
and not as a 16550 .  Configuration is done by setserial in one of the
boot-up files.

Subject: ipfwadm - unexpected results
Date: Thu, 27 May 1999 19:37:47 GMT

I have Linux 2.0.36 (Official RedHat 5.2). There are two NICs and a
modem, eth0, eth1 and ppp0. eth0 is the internal net, eth1 is the (week-
away-from-installation) DSL connection, and ppp0 is a (normally
inactive, manual-intervention-required) backup connection should the
DSL fail. I'll be running a SMTP server on this same box which should
be available to everyone, as we'll use this box for e-mail. POP3
services should be available to internal users only (192.168.0.0/24),
though I may make that available in the future.

Our internal net is on 192.168.0.0/24 connected to eth0 at
192.168.0.201. The DSL connection is on eth1 at a.b.c.d (our only
public IP number). ppp0 is a dynamically-assigned IP and would be
usable for outgoing traffic only.

For the time being, I just want to create a block-incoming-everything-
allow-outgoing-everything firewall with masquerading as a sanity check.
I'll work on allowing services later. Using configuration A below, I
can see the Internet just fine from inside stations, but I can still
telnet (23) to the external address a.b.c.d from an outside source
(using a modem connection to my ISP from another machine), even though
the firewall is supposed to block everything. Why am I able to do that?
What needs to be changed? As I said, I have two external interfaces to
deal with, eth1 and ppp0. I don't have my DSL line for eth1 yet, so I'm
using ppp0 for testing. Do I have to tell ipfwadm what interface to use?

Configuration A:
#IP forwarding is enabled
ipfwadm -F -f
ipfwadm -I -f
ipfwadm -O -f
ipfwadm -F -p deny
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.1.0/24 -P tcp -D 0.0.0.0/0
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.1.0/24 -P udp -D 0.0.0.0/0

- end -

Thanks!

I'm running Slackware 4.0 with PPP to my Prodigy account.
The problem is that my network apps seem to stall a lot.
The same external modem on a Windows98 machine shows none of these symptoms.

I'm running GNOME with Enlightenment which seems to tax most of my memory
but not CPU cycles. Could they be having an adverse affect on my connection?

I also find that IPCHAINS have a detrimental effect when activated. But my
system still lags without them.

Does anybody know how to fix this?

AFIK you have to do some dirty tricks:
Split up your net into subnets of aproximately equal bandwith and give
each card on the server an IP in one subnet. Setup routing if you need
contact between clients on different sub nets.
This means that you have change settings on each client. Its easy with
DHCP and tedious without it.

Another solution uses unconventional subnet mask with the lowest bit
set on the server only: Communication with even IPs via network card
A, odd IP's via B. This effects only server output. The behavior of
the switch depends on its setup (spawning tree algorithm?).

Don't forget the basics: Multiple Ethernet mini howto, Sub netting
mini howto. Another solution might be cutting off unnecessary traffic
like broadcasts from windows clients without WINS server, smaller
collision domains (use more ports on the switch) etc...

Hello Jasmin,
you must use the script /etc/ppp/ppp-up. At first you can start it as
root and set a debug option. Your user and password you must wirte into
the file pap-secrets. 
I hope, this help.

I have been adding hubs to my network.  HP Procurve 10/100... 24 port.

They are autosensing, and I have 100meg nics in all systems.  I have

I thought I was getting more out of these HUBS... can you clarify, and

And their ability or lack of ability to do FULL Duplex?

To my knowledge the answer is no.   However, you might improve some
throughput by having each NIC connected to different segments of a network.

Are you trying to run it as root?  If you're running as a normal user
and
try to run pppd without the proper permissions set it will say that the
kernel has no ppp support.  That's just the standard error message, I
was
told.  So until you set it up properly you're gonna have to run it as
root.
If you want info on setting it up for normal user use, just mail me.

Mladen

Subject: NFS requires entry in /etc/hosts
Date: Thu, 27 May 1999 20:35:38 GMT

I am trying to set up an "anonymous" NFS export from a RedHat 6.0
server. The line in /etc/exports is:

/ (ro,insecure)

I get a "Permission denied" error from a client when I try to mount the
share, unless I put that client's IP into /etc/hosts on the server, then
all is well. I do not need to make any changes to the exports file,
just /etc/hosts. I need to be able to mount this share from any host,
not just ones in the /etc/hosts file. It works fine on a RedHat 5.2
system (and an AIX server also).

I checked the the resolv.conf file was correct also, as this seems like
it might be a problem with name lookups/

Anybody have any clues ?

there's no general rule.  its all up to the actual implementation.

some vendors have a harder time interoperating with duplex mismatches
than others.  you just gotta try and if the auto-neg doesn't work,
then hard-set the speed and duplex.

IRQ conflict between your mouse and your modem. For example, your mouse
is on COM1 and your modem on COM3. 
Reset your modem to use an unused IRQ (setting the jumpers on board and
using setserial to set the IRQ Linux listens to.)

Subject: RH6.0 PCMCIA and Networking
Date: Thu, 27 May 1999 16:11:11 -0500

My friend just loaded RH6.0 on his laptop.  During boot it
appears to try to load ethernet services first (which fail), then
PCMCIA services, which report "OK".

After that, he cannot access eth0  and doing an
"ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.xxx" up doesn't work either.

He's tried rearranging the run level 5 order of booting so
that ethernet comes between PCMCIA and INET and/or
after INET and still the card (3c575TX) doesn't initialize.

This version of RH uses pcmcia v3.09...

I put the same card on my laptop running Slackware and
pcmcia v3.05 and it works.

Can someone explain where we're messing up, please?
Thanks,
mas

I use netgear FA310TX, it runs fine.
You can find a good price from buy.com 11.99 and $5 rebate from
netgear.

Good luck

Could you tell me "quickly" what is PUMP? I noticed this when searching for
the dhcpcd command in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup script (after
reading the DHCP mini-howto). Instead of the command I found PUMP=1 (or
something like that...)

I'll check for the update as suggested by Jeff and if it doesn't work I'll
disabe PUMP and I'll run the dhcpcd daemon manually I guess...

Thanks!

That's pretty much correct, except that I've never heard of anyone
calling the addition of a DNS entry "registering" a name.  Domains
[somedom.com] are registered, hostnames [www2.somedom.com] are simply
put into the DNS for a [already registered] domain.

Once you register a domain, you are allowed to create as many hostnames
as you darn well please.

Good advice. :)
