Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I have two semi-related questions to pose, as I'm configuring my Linux
box to act as a server/gateway for my home network into a Mediaone cable
modem.
1) MediaOne and Linux: the cable modem communicates directly with the
ethernet card via the card's MAC address, but the service itself
auto-assigns an IP. Often, it seems, this IP remains static for lengthy
periods, but it could possibly change (if I reboot my Linux box, for
example [why would I do that??]) So, (a) has anyone done this out there,
and (b) is there a way to configure an auto-assigned IP address for a
NIC?
2) Linux as a router/gateway for Windows clients: I have two NIC cards
in my Linux box, and want to use this machine as a router and gateway to
my MediaOne cable modem (yes, MediaOne says it's perfectly fine to do,
but they won't support it technically). My problem is this: both NIC's
are talking to each other, but my windows 98 laptop cannot even ping the
NIC it's configured to see. All NIC's are on the same hub, including the
Win98 one. I have two subnets in my Linux box, and, again, both cards go
into the same hub. It's been a while since I've configured a network
using twisted pair and a hub, so any advice? I think I can only have one
subnet configured on a hub at a time, but again, I don't recall (I'll
try re-doing some of it tonight).
I'm sure I'm doing something dumb, but please respond with some advice.
Thanks -
Andy

I solved the problem. Apparently I have to set up entry for 192.168.100 in
the first machine's named configuration. Why the Windows machine doesn't
need it?
The problem now I ends up with the first machines name mapped to two IP
address. Is this Ok?

Well this still doesn't work.

Subject: Delaying eth1 Initialization
Date: Tue, 08 Jun 1999 23:16:18 GMT
I'm trying to set up a 486/33 as a firewall using RedHat 5.2.
I have two SOHOware ND5320 NICs, and used the DOS disk to turn off PnP.
In conf.modules, I've swapped the eth0 and eth1 options and verified that
both work as eth0.
I've read the HOWTOs. I don't see this error message mentioned once. If
someone knows of a HOWTO or FAQ that discusses this, please point me to
it.
I've searched dejanews. I saw one post that suggested adding "-o" to the
options lines in conf.modules in order to differentiate the adapters.
When I tried that, neither adapter was recognized on boot-up.
ifconfig sees eth0 but not eth1. When I try to force the values for eth1
it complains that the interface is unknown.
I'm sure I'm overlooking something simple. Anyone have any ideas?

I'd already been there. I've upgraded to pump 0.6.7 and the dhcp server
is a Sun box anyway. It's not that I can't get a network connection, I
can see the internet just fine. The problem is that my OS doesn't seem
to know it's own host and domain name even after receiving that
information back from the server. Programs like samba end up filling
their logs with messages like 'gethostbyname: Unknown host
localhost.localdomain' even though there is a valid internet
connection...

I don't have the answer - just a variation on your problem. I can ping my
ISP successfully, but cannot ping any IP past the ISP. I do know my ISP no
longer permits direct Internet access - everything comes through his proxy
server, but do not know where to set a proxy server. (if indeed this is the
problem!!).

Having upgraded to kernel 2.2.9 (on Redhat 5.2), I discovered to my

"Need mount version 6". I tried compiling later versions, as well as
grabbing rpms, but the problem did not go away, but only worsened: now
smbclient segfaults

There was something in the Changes file in the kernel documentation that
mentions the different dhcp client. I had the same problem installing a
firewall. You need an updated client for dhcp between the 2.0 series and
the 2.2 series of kernels. I think there were a few different versions. I
had to modify my ip-up file slightly to account for the differences.

Date: Tue, 08 Jun 1999 16:33:56 -0700
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I am trying to set up configure RH 6.0 on my system. My current problem
centers around setting up dial-up networking. I am using the default
configuration files that were installed by RH. I used netcfg to set the
necessary parameters, ( DNS, PAP settings, username, etc). If I use
ppp-on, I am able to dial and and connect to my ISP. My problems are
these:
First, the DNS look-up seems to be a little slow compared to windows
Second, I am able to ping some valid addresses, but not others. The
names are being resolved, but I get an error that no route is available.
Sometimes if I wait a few minutes, I can successfully ping the
previously unavailable address. If I use a different machine, I can ping
all of the addresses all of the time.
Third, even with ppp already active, I am unable to connect to any
outside addresses with the default installation of Netscape. I always
get a route not available error.
Any ideas where I should start? I would also be interested in any how-to
type web pages.
Also is there a way to generate an echo to the screen during the log-on
process so that I can determine if and when the connection is made?
Thanks
Paul

Package: pump
Updated: 12-May-1999
Problem:
There were problems associated with pump that would
not allow Linux machines to get an IP from an NT
server using dhcp.
Solution:
Intel: Upgrade to:
rpm -Uvh pump-0.6.7-1.i386.rpm

Ahh.. Nope the scripts could not have worked previously. You are using

The pppd debug messages aren't here, but they're likely in another log

This might be caused by a failure to agree on IP addresses, or by a
misconfiguration of the UART type for the modem's device file, or by
something less common. The pppd debug log should provide more clues.

Date: Wed, 09 Jun 1999 00:08:31 GMT
It would seem that the only way to make telnet as root happen, as
suggested, is to move /etc/securetty altogether.
I know there has to be a better way such as before adding :
tty1
ttyp1
etc to /etc/securetty
I look at 'w' output when logged on and I see pty's for some reason. I
can guess that means Pseudo Terminals. But cananyone tell me which
mechanism it uses.
Or can anyone tell me the old /etc/securetty worked in the first
place. And if this is astandard mecahnism then why is it changed in
Redhat 6.0 and with no documentation to boot??
If I knew that then I can make my own decision whether or not to
implement security to include /etc/securetty or use pty's and on and
oon.
Well noted is the security issue with root having the ability to log
on remotely. That is not the focus of this problem.
Thanks All.

I am a physician attempting to divorce myself completely from microsoft
products here at UF. I do, however, very much need to connect to several
Netware File Servers, and I cannot figure out how to make RedHat Linux 6.0
do this. I am new to UNIX so I need basic instructions.
Thanks in advance

In the mail configuration section of Netscape where you set your mail server
just put hte mail servers IP address and all should work fine. At least it
does for me. :-)

First, Win95 also binds NetBIOS to TCP/IP. It is unchangeable. The problem I
think you are having is with encrypted passwords. WinNT and Win98 require
password encryption (or you have to mess with a bunch of registry settings.
What you need to do is go into the smb.conf file and uncomment the line that
enables/disables encrypted passwords. WinNT and 98 should work.

Hi
I have RedHat 5.2 running as a yp-client of a Sun Sparc. I want my users
to be able to rlogin from the rest of the network to the Unix box
with no need to enter the password. Can this be done? If so how?
Thanks,
Jonathan
