Every ISP has an ISP, except for backbone sites.

a nationwide fibre network)

Either the script is returning incorrect header information (the

Sounds like you haven't set up the config file to allow cgi to be run, or
it's not executable. If the cgi is there but is not executable for any
reason it will normally try to return the cgi itself. From memory the first
Apache setup I did, cgi was disabled by default.

Just because it has the directory doesn't mean that it's configed to work.
Check the configs.

I've never heard of a webserver looking in a different directory for the
hell of it. Normally to access something in /cgi-bin you have to preceed the
file name with /cgi-bin.

Subject: How to deny access to the internet for ppp dialin?
Date: Thu, 03 Jun 1999 22:43:11 +0200
I have successfully installed a ppp dialin server using mgetty and a
standard modem.
My problem is that i don't want the computer dialing in to have access
to the internet.
Is there a possibility to work that out, using some options for the
pppd?
So far I have the pppd is giving the client the IP address
192.168.10.222 and my server
has for this purpose the IP address 192.168.10.111. My normal network is
situated in 192.168.100.0/24,
and any pakets will be forwarded to the internet if necessary.
so when accessing the server 192.168.10.111 from the client side
(192.168.10.222) everything shoud
work fine and when trying to access anything else not in this section
(192.168.10.0/24) nothing should
happen. right? And there's my problem. whichever IP address not in this
section I enter will cause my
machine to connect to the internet. Is there a solution? I would also be
happy if there were any options I
could use so no access further than the dialin server would be granted.
And how about ipfwadm?
Thanks a lot

I seem to have the exact same problem here. I too have some fixed addresses
and all other hosts are given dynamic adresses in the range 192.168.0.10 to
192.168.0.200
Hope someone knows how to solve this one...

Subject: PPP hangs on '+++' characters, RH5.1, kernel 2.0.36
Strange problem, my ppp seems to be working OK, except that when I
receive data with '+++' followed by space and a <cr>, it locks up. I
can send it just fine, though.
At first I thought one modem or the other was probably responding and
going into command mode, but it gets weirder. The connection isn't
dead, it's just that the socket receiving that data is hung. Other
sockets (other apps, same app/different connection, etc.) continue to
operate fine.
This is driving me nuts lately since I've subscribed to a couple
development mailing lists that get alot of patches. Everytime I get an
email with this stuff, I have to telnet to my isp, get the mail by hand
(pop3), compress it, and then download it.
But it has nothing to do with mail - ftp will break, if I telnet to the
isp and type "echo +++", and add a space, it will break, webpages with
that data will break, etc. etc...
Anybody ever had this problem? I'm pretty much stumped here ;-(

Another way to do this (which is sort of the long way around) is to
delete the arp record cached on your local system "/sbin/arp -d
hostname" and then ping the hostname... this will update your arp record
with the new hardware address.
I would give my "thumbs up" to direct router access.

Update the programs. You should have read
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes.
Applications now have to set a socket option to tell the kernel that
they want send to a broadcast address. It seems to be a standard
feauture of various unix flavours.

Subject: ipchains and online games
Date: Thu, 03 Jun 1999 19:36:35 -0500
Hope you can help. I am relatively inexperienced with Linux networking,
so please excuse me if this is a simple question.
I have a box running Redhat 6.0 networked to a box running Win95. The
Linux box has a modem that does dial-on-demand to my ISP. I can
successfully browse, telnet, etc from the Windows box through the
dial-up established by Linux. I have set this up using a VERY simple
ipchains script.
However, online games don't work. I've read that there are specific
ports you can plug to get a game to work. I am much more interested in
a setup that will let everything go back and forth. I know this is an
insecure setup, but I have a dial up connection so this isn't a big
concern for me.
Will I be able to set up the above scenario with ipchains, or is there
another tool that is better suited? Any ipchains rules to accomplish
this or pointers to infomation is greatly appreciated (I've checked the
HOWTO's and dejanews with little luck).
Thanks for the help,

Since I figured this one out, I will post - my ISP was setting the IP address
as part of authenication. I had thought that a purchase of a class C address
meant that the ISP was promising not to assign the address to anyone else. In
fact, they are, but they are also promising to set my IP address to that value
whenever I log in. The address was 'sticky' because it was being reset by the
server.

Hi, heres a partial answer, and a follow-on
question.
Did you try to use minicom to initialize the
modem ? The PPP docs (man-page, HOWTO, ..)
describe the procedure in detail, I summarize..
start minicom, feed it AT(your phone here), then
quit without resetting modem (^A q), then quickly
do `pppd -detach /dev/ttySx`.
Ive found that this allows ppp to do all the
necessary handshaking and set up the IP channel.
The curious thing is that I cant get pppd to do
the entire job itself, the chat script runs and
appears to successfully do the modem handshaking
with the NT server, but PPP/LCP handshaking never
happens (/var/log/messages is nearly empty), and
the server shuts me down after a few seconds.
Ive tried using minicom's modem init-string in my
chat-script, and have played with all variations
of single and double-quoting, and \escaping in
the AT arguments, to no avail.
So, whats different about using minicom to do the
modem init and dialing ? Im assuming Ive missed
something subtle in the chat-script, but Ive been
thru it countless times now.
If its worth seeing, let me know. Im currently
using NT (eccch) to access the web cuz of this
ppp problem.
TIA
