Just as one possibility, check out the Linux Router Project. It isn't
exactly easy to work with, but the possibilities are amazing.

Subject: IPX routing problem with modem
Date: Tue, 25 May 1999 20:54:36 +0400
Hi!
I have RedHat Linux 5.2 as a server. There are a modem ttyS0 and a network
adapter (NE2000) eth0. Network adapter connected to a LAN (1 client). Remote
client connects to a ppp0 device. I need to play Blood (or DukeNukem...) on
between the clients via server. This games works only with IPX protocol. I
have pppd daemon (compiled with IPX support) and a kernel 2.0.36 (compiled
with IPX support too). My file options.ttyS0:
ipx
ipx-network 0xabcdef00
ipx-node 2:0
ipxcp-accept-remote
I enable IPX bind to the eth0 by command:
ipx_interface add -p eth0 etherII 0xabcdef01
When the remote client loggs in to the server it starts up searching for
network players in the games. I can see the modem light RD is flashing and
the Link-Active light on the network adapter on the server is flashing too.
But when I start searching for players on the LAN client the Link-Active
flashes, but the modem light SD not flashes. IPX-packets are not going to
the remote client. I can run ifconfig and see that IPX-packets from remote
machine are going to LAN, but packets from LAN are not going to the remote
client.
What can I do ?

Is there any way to mount a floppy in RedHat 6 that will allow it to read a
Win98 floppy?
i've tried:
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy to no avail....always says "define filesystem
type"
as well as
mount /dev/fd0 /mount/floppy
so i don't know....i'm a newbie..and could use a few pointers....also.....
if you know anything about cdroms and mounting them.... the ones i make are
ISO9660 and it worked for a while.....then i rebooted and now nothing works.
Thanks,

ok, i hear people saying that this modem works.
great, I have the same modem, but when I tried to detect it under
Suse 6.1, it doesn't detect anything. In windows 98 I have the modem
under COMport3 under the modem's properties in the ctrl panel. But
there is no COMport 3 in the System Properties...I am not sure if that
was the problem, but I tried to create a new COMport3 there with no
luck...(just gave me a 4/5).
So I moved the modem (thru using a diff IRQ in windows settings)
to COMport4 in win98 and went back into Suse
and again it detects nothing
Log in as root, used YaST to update the new COMport everytime of the
change and
I also used the "wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf" that was in the
manual(p143).
The last command is the line that activate the modem detection....
If you have Suse, what am I doing wrong?
If not, can you tell in detail how I can install this manually??
Thanks

If nothing else you can get a old cheap computer to be your gateway to the
internet. Download linux for it (its free) and use ip masquerading to share
your connection. This setup will most likely cost around $100-$200.

Organization: none
Newsgroups: comp.os.linux.networking
Connecting from Linux to Win NT 4.0 RAS
(which allows PAP authentication) is relatively straight
forward, and not much different than connecting to many ISPs.
You can try these
(note, this is for ppp-2.3.5, may also work with ppp-2.2)
pppd options, $HOME/.ppprc
debug
/dev/ttyS0
57600
modem
crtscts
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f $HOME/.pppchat"
user 'ntdomain\\ntid'
asyncmap 00000000
noipdefault
defaultroute
Chat script, .pppchat
"" ""
"" "at"
OK "at&f1"
OK "at dt 1 700 555 4545"
CONNECT "\d\c"
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets:
# Secrets for authentication using PAP
# client server secret IP addresses
ntdomain\\ntid * mypassword *
Invoking pppd:
/usr/sbin/pppd
If the Win NT RAS is set to only allow
"Microsoft encrypted authentication", then you'll need
pppd with MS-CHAP support (see README.MSCHAP80).
With ppp-2.3.5 on Linux, MS-CHAP support is already
in there. However, with ppp-2.2, you may have to
recompile pppd.

You'll need to do the same, and show us the debug output.
It's not likely to be a problem that requires modifying pppd.
An asyncmap issue is more likely
(try asyncmap 0, asyncmap a0000, and asyncmap ffffffff,
as possible workarounds).

After connection, you immediately start PPP communications.
There's no interactive, text based, dialog with WinNT.

Quite a lot can be done, actually.

Linux with SAMBA. Samba will do File/print shareing, and act as a PDC,
or authenticate off one, and join the domain. You will still need to set
up accounts in this case.

This can't be transparently replaced, but sendmail can support IMAP,
which is close. Outlook supports IMAP.

Squid. Or IP Masquerade. Or both. NT won't do NAT, and Linux will.

Apache. Better, stronger, faster... :-)

Standared fair. Keep in mind that 95 likes plain text passwords, and 98

All good so far. IP Chains is built in. You can also set up tripwire.

Best for this is port forwarding. Connect to the SMTP port on the Linux
firewall, and it forwards to the same port on the NT box. Telnet to the
Linux firewall, and it stays at the firewall. Makes hacking the network a
true pain in the but. :-)

That is good for MS Proxy. Linux with NAT and Proxy have uptimes
measured in quarters, not months.

Big plus doing this, is you can run a number of canned procmail scripts
to filter the junk out. These scripts can do reverse lookups, and filter
on that too.

had the same prob for a cpl of days.
you have manipulate the registry of yrs win's pc.
see within the samba doc files.
even you have to have an user installed with the same name as you log in on
your win98 pc.
look that you have minm samba 2.0x

You need ypserv too. Perhaps yppasswdd and others as well, depending on your

Is portmapper running (ps ax | grep portmap) and can you contact it
