All you need is in the IP-Masquerading mini HOWTO. It's 30 minutes work
at most (if you have to recompile your kernel) Check /usr/doc/HOWTO/mini
for the file.

It's assumed that you would be using these two links for outbound sessions only.
That is, you don't want any internal hosts within your 10.0.0.0 net to be
referenced by external sites. if so there would be the issue of DNS or just
'which address do I use' for getting back into your net.
Another option for you is something I did up in Folsom CA. That company took a
UUNet /24, and had two connections to two different UUNet POPs. They ran BGP to
the provider - the customer was assigned a private ASN - and UUNet took care of
redundancy between the two POPs. Single Provider, but otherwise it was a good
redundant scenario. More and more, portability will be discouraged, unless you
can get your own real network.

None to accept 0.0.0.0 but using a reserved address should work. For
example with the pppd option
:192.168.0.1
the IP address 192.168.0.1 should be accepted by the remote as one that
you can use as it's address.

Well, the editor I most of the time use is "pico". It's simple and gets
the job done. If you need something more advanced, try "vi" or "emacs".

Sounds like you don't have a valid YP/NIS domain name.
You can set your hostname in /etc/yp.conf , this file sets your NIS domain.
I'm not sure what your setup is but typically, NIS will work w/ these two
components:
ypclient and ypserv -> I suspect that your clients are windoze boxes and your
ypserv is the Linux box running SUSE..
If this is correct, you'll have to make sure that you've got ypserv running on
the SUSE box.
at the shell prompt do a "ps aux|grep yp" -- w/o the ""
If ypserv is running , it should look something like this :
[green@mechrs1 green]$ ps aux|grep yp
green 31933 0.0 0.3 836 348 p3 S 19:09 0:00 grep yp
root 13033 0.0 0.1 840 128 ? S Mar 29 0:00 (ypbind)
root 13034 0.0 0.3 944 356 ? S Mar 29 0:00 ypbind (slave)
root 22354 0.0 3.1 3360 2968 ? S May 7 1:13 ypserv
root 22366 0.0 0.4 928 460 ? S May 7 0:00 rpc.ypxfrd
root 22377 0.0 0.4 952 396 ? S May 7 0:00 rpc.yppasswdd -D
Next -> If your running NT 4.0 , you'll have to check the "c:\var\yp\binding"
directory and make sure your ypserver name is in the directory.
I highly recommend that you take a look at the YP/NIS How-To.
You can find it @ http://www.linux.com
Good luck..

the biggest gain is it's a 32bit bus, vs the 16bit ISA bus. it's also a
nice feature that the PCI bios managed resources (I/O ranges, IRQs) and
provides a nice, easy, safe way to get at 'em. i *think* the PCI bios can
also help move data around w/less work from the host CPU, at least on
bus-mastering cards, but if it's just hooked up to a cable modem you'll
probably never even max out the ISA bandwidth.

Subject: Telnet is painfully slow
Date: Sun, 30 May 1999 18:59:09 GMT
Hi everybody
I just recently installed SuSE 6.1 on my workstation. Everything works
ok except for telnet. When I try to telnet to another Linux box on the
local network it crawls. It takes several seconds for a character to
appear on the screen after I type it.
Other computers on the same network don't have this problem. I also
tried telnet'ing while running windows on my machine -- no problems
either. This leads me to the conclusion that there's some kind of
misconfiguration on my SuSE box.
My workstation is:
Cyrix 6x86-PR200
64Mb RAM
6 gig HD
PCI ne2000 clone network card
SuSE 6.1 / kernel 2.2.5 (custom compiled)
The other Linux box is: (the gateway)
AMD 486dx4-100
32Mb RAM
1.2 gig HD
2 PCI ne2000 clone network cards
Debian 2.1 / kernel 2.2.9 (custom compiled)
The network is coax (10base2)
The Debian box is used to share a cable modem across the LAN.
As I said, everything works except for telnet -- it is slow to the point
of being unusable. And it only happens to my machine when it's running
Linux and I'm trying to telnet to the Debian box. Interestingly enough,
if I telnet to an outside host, bypassing the gateway, it works fine.
I am puzzled by this problem. Any ideas how I might fix it?
thanks,
Eugene
