Subject: 56K, Masqerading and PPP...oh my
Date: Thu, 27 May 1999 18:13:37 -0400
I've run into a seemingly unusual problem in that when I connect to my isp
via ppp on my 56k modem (A zoom that I have seen a few references to as it
working with linux) I have a problem with packet errors on large
files...more specifically, ones with long strings of redundant characters.
If freezes the socket, but only that socket, the rest of the connection will
continue to function. But, when I switch to a 33.6 modem, it all works
fine. Now, my question is if there is a way to control the connection rate
for specific connections. I'm running a maqueraded network and I'd like to
be able to control the maximum speed that any given computer on the network
can connect to the internet. I think the problem is being caused by the
unmatched upstream/downtstream speeds. Any info or theories on this would
be appreciated.

I am seeing problems with the knfs stuff also, but only with some
clients. An OS/2 box can still mount a file system on the linux
server normally, but an HP-UX box will show the mount point as
established but will not be able to see the files. A bdf displays the
nfs mount and the correct space utilization, even tho the mount dir is
empty. Without even the . and .. entries.
Any help appreciated,

I can't get DHCP to work under Linux with TCI@home.
They are definitely using DHCP because if I configure Windows 98 on the
same PC to use DHCP it works fine.
I definitely know how to use DHCP under Linux because the same PC
(actually a laptop) uses DHCP perfectly on the network at work.
Networking with TCI@home under Linux works - I can use the IP address
allocated under Windows as a static IP address.
You might say that as I can just use a static address I haven't really
got a problem but it's very convenient for me to use DHCP to
automatically determine the PC's location fromthe network it's on.
Do TCI@home use a strange type of DHCP that Linux doesn't know about?
I've heard rumours about this (WIDE DHCP?) but nothing helpful.
Any ideas how I can get it to work?

According to the ipchains setup:
- Copy the masquerade script to /sbin.
- If using a ppp connection, place a call to masquerade
in the /etc/ppp/ppp-up script.
- The ip-up script looks for ip-up.local and ip-down.local
files.
- I placed the script call after the [-x ...] test.
- Ran /etc/ppp/ppp-on.
- Did not see any output from the masquerade script.
- Could not ping the outside.
- Ran /sbin/masquerade.
- Saw the script setup output.
- Here the system c r a w l e d . . . . .
- ps aux showed _TONS_ of ipchain processes.
What is going on?

Then there is hope for it. Set the IRQ by jumpers and the COM port and
it should work.
Make sure that its IRQ is not the same as some other device's IRQ (like
the serial ports on your system)

Hi there:
I am trying to setup my office machine(running RedHat 5.2) to be a ISP

I am confused about what IP address should be assigned for my home

Date: Fri, 28 May 1999 00:35:51 +0200
Hi!
I'm using Suse Linux 6.1 - 2.2.5 and have configured IP-masquerading and
automatic dial in via ISDN.
If I now start a browser on a client and want to visit the FIRST webpage, it
takes over a minute until it is viewed. If I start the dial in with using
Ping and then visits a web-page, the page is there within a second. But Ping
always says "Host unrechable" (although the browser can load web-pages and
other pings are ok)
All in all the Problem is that the operation that makes Linux to dial in
the Internet does not (or very late) do the right things.
What can I do to solve the Problem?
Only for information: I've got a static IP-Address at my Provider.

Denis

Something to check is the version of kernel and the version of the DHCP
package. I remember reading about some DHCP problems that were resolved
with an updated package.

using a DHCP client to grab an IP address. I don't know if that'll help
any...

Yes, sounds like compression problems. Remember that your computer to
modem speed should be at least twice the modem to modem speed, at both
ends.
Check that you are using rts/cts flow control, not xon/xoff on the
modem. Try increasing the speed of the computer to modem to 115200 or
230400 (if you can). Check out the flow control.

hola, yo no lo se, pero parece que intentas conectar dos tarjetas ethernet
directamente por RJ45, sin hub ni nada. esto no es posible (si, si lo es). necesitas
cambiar las conexiones del cable, esto lo vi en la revista PCACTUAL de febrero del 99
mientras en un extremo dejas el conector normal, en el otro tienes que cambiar las
conexiones como sigue:
1 blanco/naranja
|
| 8 marron
2 naranja
|
| 7 blanco/marron
3 blanco/verde

| 6 naranja
4 azul
|
| 5 blanco/azul
5 blanco/azul

6 verde | cable
RJ45 | 3 blanco/naranja
7 blanco/marron
|
| 2 verde
8 marron
|
| 1 blanco/verde
conexion normal en una
tarjeta conexion
cambiada en la otra
hazlo con cuidado, ya sabes que con estas cosas no se juega. si no estas segura de
como se hace, prueba antes una conexion windows95 (que es muy facil) para asegurarte
de que el invento funciona. por supuesto, como en la red tienes un hub, no utilices
este cable, pues la joderias. como es de suponer, esto solo se puede hacer con dos
ordenadores, y la revista s�lo habla de ethernet, y no de token-ring (l�gico, en un
solo cable no hay anillo posible).

There may be a modem command that can do this. You also might try
setting the pppd speed to what you want and see how that works.

In the case cited I'm inclined to believe that the compressed bytes from
the ISP are expanded by the modem too fast for some buffer even with
flow control. Or perhaps the modem flow control algorithm is flawed.
But that's only a guess.
