Subject: PPP and a stupid person
Date: Fri, 28 May 1999 14:52:26 +1000
I am having trouble setting up my ppp and associated files
the chat script works fine, dials my ISP, answers OK, logins
in and ppp is started on the ISP machine OK. Output from the
ifconfig and netstat below i think show this.
pinging the ISP using the IP address found in the netstat output
responds correctly but pinging any other address fails and ftp,
telnet and other programs can't open any address.
i bet it is something really stupid and simple but i am unable
to see through the mist.
Could someone please point me in the correct direction i have read
the FAQ and HOW-TO's man pages and any other ppp information i can find
my system i386 Linux red-hat 5.2

Nope.
This link may be of use, though:
http://www.bieringer.de/linux/IPv6/
in particular, the IPv6-HOWTO.
The hort answer is yes, Linux supports IPv6. The onger answer is yes,
but you'll have to do some work, like replacing a lot of network
tools.

I have recently setup a minimal install of rh 5.2, and successfully
connected to my isp via PPP. once connected i can ping anysite on the net.
But when i try telnet to my isp (its also a bbs) telnet justs sits there
and refuses to do anything. when i quit telnet and try to ping anything,
including my isp's ip it refuses to work. Can anybody tell me why this
could be happening? i would like to use the machine for IP forwarding, but
it makes it sorta hard when it doesnt work :) anyhelp would be extremley

What we did was just use ipfwadm-wrapper on the ruleset line-by line.
It got pretty obvious fast how to make it work. Or, you can just
add a symlink to ipfwadm-wrapper and keep using the old script
(not recommended).

Sounds like a "real" modem so you'll be able to get it going.
One thing to note is that Linux numbers it's ports differently then dos/win.
In Linux the first port is /dev/ttyS0 while in dos/win the first port is
com1 so make sure you are using the port you think you are and make sure
Minicom knows which port you want it to look at. You said that you didn't
get any messages from Minicom but you didn't mention what (if anything) you
typed. Try typing at&f from within Minicom (don't worry if you don't see
your command echoed as you type it) and see if you get an "OK" back. From
the command line (ie. not in minicom) type "dmesg | more" and verify that
Linux is "seeing" the port the modem is on and that it has discovered the
correct IRQ.
Good Luck

Shouldn't resolv.conf contain the IP address of your DNS servers. My ISP is
videotron cable as well, and my resolv.conf looks as follows:
domain videotron.ca

Subject: gated.conf for ospf only
Date: Thu, 27 May 1999 22:05:30 -0500
I need to connect a small group of (ethernet) macintoshes to the rest of
the network. Unfortunately they are more than 100 meters from the
ethernet hub in the closet and the cost of running fiber is prohibitive.
Since they are right next to a token-ring drop I'd like to run a RH 6.0
box with token-ring and ethernet cards as an IP router. There is no RIP
on the network. It's all OSPF and I'd like to keep it that way. Except
for one NetWare box, all routers are3com NBII's. I've got the Linux box
forwarding packets (with a static route) and I've installed gated with
the following gated.conf file:
routerid 10.0.0.5 ;
rip no ;
ospf yes {
defaults {
preference 10 ;
cost 5 ;
type 1 ;
} ;
backbone {
authtype none ;
interface tr0 {
enable ;
transitdelay 10 ;
priority 1 ;
hellointerval 10 ;
routerdeadinterval 40 ;
retransmitinterval 5 ;
} ;
interface eth0 {
enable ;
transitdelay 10 ;
priority 1 ;
hellointerval 10 ;
routerdeadinterval 40 ;
retransmitinterval 5 ;
} ;
} ;
The config file parses OK with "gated -c" and "gated" seems to start OK.
I see the LED on the ethernet card flash every 10 seconds (the
hellointerval) but the 3com routers are completely unaware of the Linux
router (and vice-versa). All the intervals are set to match the defaults
of the 3com routers, there is no authentication password for OSPF on any
of the routers. The route table shows entries for a couple of multi-cast
addresses with 127.0.0.1 as the gateway. There is only a single
(backbone) area in the entire network. Any GATED experts out there?
Thanks in advance ...jgm

I asked and they told that I have to set it up my self.
But is the ADSL modem a standalone device? I mean can it be used without a
computer? Then I believe I could connect it to a hub and then connect the
computers to the hub and have each one of them assigned an IP address. (Is a
hub the same thing as a router?)

If your ISP gives you multiple IP addresses, then you need some sort
of router or gateway box. Perhaps it's provided as part of the
service; ask them what's required.

Subject: Can I replace some NT services with a Linux Box
Date: Thu, 27 May 1999 15:49:44 -0000
I am the administrator of a number of NT networks and would really like to
start implementing Linux where ever I can. This is the first project I
think I can get away with using linux.
Any suggestions or comments would be much appreciated as I have no
experience of Linux.
We currently have the following set up;
1 Server
PDC
NT V4.0 SP3
Exchange Server 5.5
Proxy Server 2
IIS 3.0
DHCP Server allocating the range 10.0.0.3 � 10.0.0.250
10 Client Connected via a 10mbps UTP Cat 5 Hub
Win95
Outlook 97
Office 97
We do not want to change the clients at all.
I want a Linux box that will handle the following functions
Proxy Server via ISDN TA configured as a network adapter
This must service current IP address range plus between 1-5 static Internet
visible IP address�s
This box must also contain a firewall that will allow me to restrict
external access to our machines on a machine or port basis.
Exchange server must be able to pierce the firewall in a secure fashion
This will be run on a separate machine and must be more reliable than MS
proxy 2 which fails about twice a month.
A second option that would be nice is an email system running on the same
linux box that will take all incoming emails for multiple domains and route
them to either exchange server or to external clients on a domain name or
email address basis. I will need to configure this on the fly.

Hi All,
I have set up a machine with RH 6 to act as a masquerading router between
two networks.
I have the masq'ing working well, but I cannot get ipmasqadm and portfw
working at all.
I can't find where to turn on debugging. It seems the request from an
outside client to the external interface (which is being port forwarded)
doesn't get forwarded on the masq'ing router, even though ip_forwarding is
enabled.
Any ideas anyone ?

WaveLAN (or any other wireless LAN technology) doesn't have anywhere near
that range. Figure 300 meters, not kilometers, absolute tops. There are
external antennas for the basestations (not the PCMCIA cards) that allow
boosting the distance up to about 2km.

Date: Thu, 27 May 1999 18:46:18 +0200
Two questions after having setup samba and ppp dial-in.
1) When establishing an IP connection from my NT to Linux through PPP, I
seem not to have any IP service (such as Hylafax) available. It does
work if I establish a PPP connection from another Linux machine.
2) Will the samba services be available over PPP. As I understood, samba
is an IP service. Probably the answer to question 1 will answer this
question.
3) When I connect to the server, I only get connected at 38400 instead
of the expected 57600, although I adaoted for this speed in the
config.cua0 and setup.modem files by giving a maximum of 115200.
Can anybody give an appropriate explanation ?

Subject: Any benefit to tweaking the 3C900B optimization settings?
Date: Fri, 28 May 1999 05:23:36 GMT
I've got a 3Com 3C900B (10Mbps PCI NIC) card that connects my LAN's server
to a cable modem.
The 3C900B has 3 optimizations settings that can be configured with 3Com's
config utility:
1. Optimize for maximum performance.
2. Optimize for minimum CPU use.
3. Normal (balances performance and CPU use).
The factory default is setting #3 above. Given that this card acts solely
as a conduit for the packets transferred between the server and the cable
modem, I wonder if "max performance" wouldn't be a better option.
Any thoughts on this? Thank you.

Do you NEED to use TCP/IP? If not, you can use a serial cable and a
terminal program on the DOS end with sz/rz on the Linux end to transfer
files. I used to have (maybe still have somewhere) a TCP/IP stack for
DOS, but it was painful to setup. I think it came from Watcom(sp?).

Hi,
Hey maybe you are the guy to talk too. My Windows machines are connected to
the net by via IP masquerading through my Redhat 6.0 box. I've also got a
firewall setup. I've been trying to get AOE and a few other games to
connect to the outside world so I can play some games! I've been unable to
do so as of yet. I was wondering what you did to get everything setup and
working? Also are you able to host games? I'd really like to get this
working ASAP, I've been unable to kick some butt for awhile. Thanks.....

I'm having a similar problem. Only I've done some investigation, and found
that after the LCP negotiation succeeds, my pppd sends an IPCP ConfReq, and
the NT pppd does not respond. Instead, it echoes the IP address to stdout.
I can't seem to convince pppd to proceed without IPCP. I try the noip
option, and it terminates saying that no network protocols were started.
It's looking like I might need to modify pppd.
You should add debug to the ppp options and check the output.
