WHat rules did you use for the firewall?
Did you remember to update /proc?
How is your routing?

Yes, I use VMware for software development on Linux and WinNT running at
the same time on my computer.
VMware runs fine in my setup. Nevertheless you should read
http://www.vmware.com/support/releasenotes.html .
Naturally you need a computer with resources for both systems, will say
a PentiumII 300MHz with a minimum of 128MB RAM is neccessary (I
recommend 256MB, 128 MB for each system). If you plan to install
multiple virtual machines, you have simply to add the additional
resources for each guest OS.
My Linux system is a SuSE Linux 6.0 with a self compiled kernel 2.2.5
(kernel options see IPCHAINS-HOWTO) on SCSI-harddrives. As guest OS I
use WinNT4.0 installed in a permanent virtual disk.
I tried both networking options:
1) bridged: vmware emulates an ethernet bridge and the host OS (Linux)
as well as the guest systems (e.g. WindowsNT) appear with seperate IP
addresses in the LAN. This is the simplest way and you should use it, if
you have enough IP addresses available.
2) host only with the linux-box as router (with IP-masquerading). IP
masquerading is set up in the same way as if you had two real ethernet
interfaces in your linux box, with all the problems getting the
different network services to work (see the mailing list at
[EMAIL PROTECTED]). The standard TCP/IP services are no problem,
but if you use NetBIOS for example further work on configuration is
neccessary (I have not yet finished my setup).

Hi,
Did you already configure Apache?
I say that because the advantage of proftpd is that the syntax configuration
is the same as Apache. If you didn't, there's surely a how-to at redhat.com
is you search for 'proftpd configuration'.
There's also a 'configuration.html' in my /usr/doc/proftpd' directory.
Surely you have this too.
Hope this helps!
Charly.

Subject: Connection using PAP authentication fails -- please help
Date: Fri, 4 Jun 1999 16:08:20 +0530
Hi,
I have a Redhat Linux 5.2 system. I was connecting to my ISP using the
traditional
username-password login procedure.
Recently, my ISP started supporting PAP as well as login. So I made the
necessary
changes and tried but somehow it does not work.
I am attaching all the scripts that I use.
When I was logging in to my ISP using the Login process, my username was of
the form
user@md3.
I tried placing the 'name' value in /etc/ppp/options as 'user' and
'user@md3' and it still is not working.

Put the correct IP address in your /etc/ppp/options file
take a look at the man pppd this is the file that supersedes
all the files when pppd is started.
Hope this helps you out.

I've connected an HP500 DeskJet to a Red Hat 6.0 machine that's on our NT
network. I can't share the printer with NT Workstation or Win 98
workstations. I can add the printer to the workstations and everything
looks like it works. When I try to print a test page (or any other page) it
acts like it prints OK, but nothing comes out of the printer. The printer
works fine from the Linux machine.
The settings in smb.conf look reasonable. Is there anything I have to do,
other than set the printer up on Linux, to get Samba to share it? I can
share files just fine using Samba.
Thanks for your help.
