I have a laptop running linux. I just got a 3com pcmcia cellular
modem. I'm connecting it to a nokia 2160. Since for my
work all I need is a text based connection, all I use is kermit.
The modem and phone work fine. Now my service is another
story. It uses the AT commands properly.

You probably mean 255.255.254.0 [255.255.253.0 would bring together
192.168.2 and 192.168.3 as well as 192.168.0 and 192.168.1], but you're
essentially correct. I don't know if that suits the needs of the
original poster or not [there may be some odd reason that he wants to
forward packets rather than keep them within the same subnet -- for
example, if one of the subnets does an extra protocol that the other
does not].

Not at all. Quite the opposite, in fact [in that you obviously have at
least some grasp of how subnets work].

Sure. First off, why 255.255.254.0 rather than 255.255.253.0? The most
important aspect of the subnet mask is how many 1's there are in a row
when you write it out in binary form. Compare:
255.255.254.0: 11111111.11111111.1111110.00000000
255.255.253.0: 11111111.11111111.1111100.00000000
Now, compare the two networks in question:
192.168.0.0: 11000000.10101000.0000000.00000000
192.168.1.0: 11000000.10101000.0000001.00000000
=================================================
Differences: ........................X.........
Now, note that the position of the difference is exactly where the 1's
end in the correct subnet mask [every bit inside the range of the
correct subnet mask is the same in both subnets].
Now, why might this solution not work for the original poster? Consider
what would happen in the 192.168.0.0 subnet consists of mostly [say]
Appletalk clients, while the 192.168.1.0 subnet is mostly [say] IPX
clients. While both sets of clients [presumably Macs on the first
subnet and Windows boxes on the second] may need IP traffic routed for
internet connectivity, there is little reason for their internal traffic
to be routed. The Macs would have no use for the IPX traffic, and
similarly the Windows boxes would have no use for Appletalk traffic. By
combining the subnets, you would be increasing network congestion a
great deal with no real benefit.
Of course, I have no idea what the original poster's network looks like,
and if it's simply a bunch of similar clients using the same protocols,
then combining the subnets is indeed the easiest solution. I'm just
trying to find flaws in your suggestion because I'm bitter that I didn't
think of it first. :)

Subject: Help with Linux and internet!!
Date: Sat, 05 Jun 1999 03:29:59 GMT
Hi, I just downloaded and installed Redhat 6.0. I erased 5.2 before
doing so, and now I can't connect to the internet with Linux, and I
forget how I set it up before. I have a Sony 735 vaio laptop with a
Netgear Fa410tx pcmcia network card. Last time, I just installed it as
an ne2kpci card and it gave me my IP numbers, and everything worked
fine. I installed Linux a couple of different ways, all to no avail in
the network part. Here is what I have done so far. Installed Linux with
PCMCIA support in the very beginning, asked me if I wanted to set up a
LAN, and I said yes, but it didn't ask me what I had for a card, so I'm
assuming it auto-detected it. The installation before, I didn't start
with PCMCIA support, and when it asked me if I wanted LAN support, it
said it couldn't find the device. Upon boot, there is a line that says
DELAYING INTERFACE ETH0 [FAILED].
When I go to netconfig, it says eth0 active at boot, currently active.
I went to linuxconf, -> basic host options and specified the eth0 card
that showed up under adapter one as ne2kpci and set it as DHCP. Running
ifconfig brought me this screen
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:C8:8C:DA:9B

After I start Netscape and hit home to get me to a page, two error
messages pop up. The first says
'Netscape unable to lacate the server home.netscape.com
Please check the server name and try again.'
and under that another message, something about $SOCKS_NS environment.
I'm not very adept with Linux yet, so any help would be greatly
apprectiated!! - Thanks - Chris

I found the following in 'linux.dev.ppp'
I read EVERYthing about this problem on this newsgroup and others, and
tried several things, but this fixed my problem:
Simply add to your pppd arguments the following:
mtu 750
That's IT!
By default it's set to 1500, so change it to a value of at least 296,
depending on your modem speed/connection speed, and this might fix your
problem, it fixed mine! Now I'm getting throughput in Linux equal to
what I got in Windows.
I know all you experts out there will laugh or say something else was
the problem, but this is what I did to fix my problem, so all you people
out there with this similar problem, try this first.
Thanks for all the help, everyone.

Tell GTE it's going to be a microsoft box,
get the drop installed, hookup your linux box.
Call your isp and ask for what you need to know about
their server (DNS server/news/mail server ip numbers, dhcp, chap/pap,...)
Now, if GTE is also your ISP, get the information and tell
everyone in the office to forget what your server OS is.

I set up a Linux IP-masquerading server. Both it and the Win95 box can
send/receive email, telnet, http, ftp, ping. Only problem is reading
news. Linux box is fine. Win95 box can get list of new groups, can find
how many messages in each group, but when I select a group to look at
(using Netscape v4.6) it just seems to hang. Netscape says "Receiving
articles..." but nothing ever gets received. Looking at my external
modem I see short blinks of SD/RD (send data/receive data) every 3
seconds.
I've also tried telnet'ing to port 119 of the newshost. It responds
immediately with:
200 wnb2 InterNetNews NNRP server INN 2.2 21-Jan-1999 ready (posting
ok).
I'm stumped. If anyone could offer any advice I'd sure appreciate it.

See a very good explanation of how to do it at:

The instructions are for Worldnet.att.net users, but since they use

Subject: Re: Howto Change Apache Layout?
Date: Fri, 4 Jun 1999 21:59:51 -0700
Thanks to those who posted and emailed (nice job stripping the nospam out of
my address...)
I've got a pretty good view of this stuff now.
My main problem boiled down to: "What do I do about inet.d/httpd now that
I've changed the layout by building from sources?" Answer: I copied the
contents of 'apachectl' into inet.d/httpd (since I didn't want to disturb
all the symbolic links into rcN.d/{K,S}XXhttpd) and I bet it works, although
I haven't restarted Linux yet.
Next, I'll "rpm -e httpd" and if it removed my inet.d/httpd that I hacked,
I'll just put it all into rc.local and screw the runlevel stuff.
Y'all a great help, thanks much. This is so much more fun than trying to
get Word and Access to Do The Right Thing...
Next stop: mod_perl, with some or all of the trimmings.

Just how do you get a port to forward using ipchains only? I thought the
following:
ipchains -A input -p tcp -s extip 8080 -d localip 8080
would relocate all web incoming traffic on 8080 to the local ip address,
but it doesn't work. Why not?
I post this out of curiousity only since I managed to get it working with
ipmasqadm portfw (when I eventually found it :)...). But I wan't able to
get port ranges working with that so I'm not entirely happy with solution.
Any sugestions?
Charlie
