I've setup my Mediaone RR cable modem with redhat 6.0 without problems. All
the Road Runner's out there are a little different, however. My Road Runner
service doesn't use a log on program, but it looks for the MAC address of
the ethernet card. If it's the card you had when you first got your cable
modem it will work but if not you'll need to call and tell them the new MAC
(in Linux type ifconfig eth0 and look at the 6 Hex number.) All that I did
after that was set my eth0 to use DHCP and install the new version of pump
(which is available from RH's website version .067 and up will work. After
I ran the patch and rebooted and everything worked. From the sound of you
need to run this patch too.

I am going to setup a similar network soon and may have some anwsers. You may
not need to setup a proxy server. You could just use IP Masquerading. If you
are just going to use 2 computers on this network, you can get a crossover
cable(I don't know the price). Or if you are going to possibly put more than 2
computers on the network you need a hub(you could get one for $25 or $30 at
Egghead.com).
Here are some Howtos you might wand to read:

It depends on how the ADSL modem/router is setup. Cisco ADSL modems have
a bridging mode which routs all traffic through to the destination on
the other side. If you have mulitiple public IP addresses then you could
have a hub with your PCs connected to it, and your ADSL modem also
connected to the hub. Be careful on the required connection for the ADSL
modem (cross cable or straight-thru, or use uplink or no-uplink port).

Yes, it is possible. You could allow guests from certain IP addresses to
have full access with little or no security. There are some examples in
the smb.conf.sample file.

Hi,
Trying to do a couple of things here:
1. I want toplay my games online damn it!!! I need my fix. I've gone
without them for too long! I'm trying to play on the MSN game zone, games
Like AOE and a few others. Someone posted a msg in here taking about the
same thing and a very helpful link that says what ports need to be open.
(http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q159/0/31.asp) So I've
got the port info I need but now I need to figure out how to write the
script to do it. ??? I'd like to set it up so that several people on my
LAN can be playing several people on the Game Zone, and I'd perfer that one
of the machines on my LAN was the host. (All machines on the LAN are using
IP masq) I think this is possible, but difficult.
2. I want to be able to connect to FTP sites that don't use port 21. At the
moment I can connect to any FTP site on any port but I can't "ls" on sites
that aren't on port 21 so in effect I can't get in. Originally, I couldn't
do this on port 21 either but the ip_masq_ftp.o fixed that, now I need to
fix other ports too. Anyone know how to do that?
Both of these I believe can be done using the ipmasqadm tool, but I need to
learn how. I'm not sure when to use autofw or portfw and what is actually
going on. There doesn't seem to be much support docs or many people that
can do this. Please help!!!!

Hello!
Is there any way to set up ipfwadm to deny satan/saint probes and other

My @HOME service gives permanent IP addresses. You don't have to use
DHCP because the IP address is assigned permanently. I have three
permanent IP addresses and don't use DHCP. @HOME told me it was okay to
do so.

I'm new to Linux, but this is what I believe:
o Masquerading and port forwarding are supported by the 2.2 kernel
o ipchains is used to configure masquerading and other features
o ipchains is NOT able to set up port forwarding
o Programming is required to activate kernel-based port forwarding in
RH 6.0
I gave up and installed redir which is easy to configure and works well. I
hope I'm not misleading you.

I've been trying to get IP masquerade to work through my RedHat 6.0 box
today but was unsuccessful. I have an out of the box server install which I
then modified using the masquerade howto. I wasn't able to get it to work
though. Did you have to change the kernel or something? I noticed one part
indicated to make sure IPV4 forwarding was on but I didn't know how to check
for that. I'm fairly confident my Windows box is set up right with the
proper DNS and gateway addresess and I'm able to ping and access things from
the Linux box.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your time,

When I got errors like this, it was due to my accidentally filtering the
wrong packets in the firewall. You don't say whether you have one or
not, but this is likely the problem. Only other possibility is routing
error.

Yes. A program called 'SAMBA' (included with every major Linux distribution)
makes the LIinux server appear like a Windows NT file server to your W95, W98,
etc. client machines.

Yes. Sendmail (also included) is a robust mail server suitable to almost every
task. Ther are other option which may be less 'hassle' as Sendmail is
notoriously difficult to set up.

Yes. I'm doing the same stuff on a Pentium 200 (not a Pentium 2 or even MMX)
for a larger number of clients and it works just spiffy.

Try the following:

Linux For Dummies - IDG Books

You can also take the old Win 3.1 and DOS machines and turn them into pretty
good working Linux workstations for next to nothing!!!!

Subject: Re: Newbie question about NFS sharing & Samba
Well, it seem that you aren't even really to the point of worrying about
NFS or SAMBA yet, but here''s a few tips:
1) You claim that you can ping the 'localhost' on both the Win95 & Linux
box ~ are you using the address: 127.0.0.1 or pinging by the name
'localhost'? If the address works it shows that the OS on each machine at
least 'sees' the adapter correctly. If pinging by name doesn't work, you
have a name resolution problem - but that's not necessarily a show-stopper.
2) Try pinging each hosts IP address from the host itself. If the Win95 box
is set to 192.168.0.5 (for example) then pull up a Command Prompt and do a
'ping 192.168.0.5'. Do the same on the Linux box using it's own IP address
(192.168.0.10, for example) If either box does not return 100% of the
packets of IT'S OWN ADDRESS, you have a problem with the binding of the
card to the IP stack.
3) It occurs to me that you have TWO Nics installed in the Win95 machine -
is this correct? That sounds like trouble to me - Win95 is kinda touchy
about stuff like that. Pull out whichever one you installed SECOND, and
then ...
4) You should attach the cable modem (which is in fact more-or-less a
router) and attach it to the hub instead. Depending on which cable modem
you have, you may need to uise a 'crossover cable' instead of a normal Cat5
cable.
5) At this point (with only ONE NIC in each box, and the cable modem
attached to the hub) I'd check to make sure that each machine has a
different IP address, but the same subnet mask assignment. The try 'ping'
arounf again to see what's up. FIRST ping 127.0.0.1 on each machine. SECOND
ping each machine's assigned IP address. THIRD try to ping the address of
the cable modem from each machine. FINALLY, ping each machine from the
other host.
6) If step 5 turned out ok ~ then you can start worrying about NFS and
SAMBA. If not .... well I'll be checking this thread to monitor your
progress.
Good Luck,

Hello John,
A solution would be to use an ODI Stack setup with TCPIP. on
ftp.calderasystems.com you have all you need to set up an IP stack. At least FTP
works, so you can up/download files to any IP capable machine. And Etherlink MCA
ODI drivers are available, although fairly, but they are working.

wall is defined in the host files of the linux boxes (including
itself). But not the NT boxes. However, test 4 involves running the
nmblooup on the samba server itself (in this case wall). wall is also
doing the ip masquerading.
