Subject: Easy way to switch between LAN and dial-up networks?
Date: Wed, 09 Jun 1999 13:57:45 GMT
I'm running RedHat v6.0 on a laptop which I sometimes use while traveling.
When the machine is stationary it is attached to a LAN, which provides
Internet access. While traveling I use a dial-up connection. I would like
to find an easy way to switch between the 2 connections.
It seems the sticking point is /etc/sysconfig/network. (The
/etc/resolv.conf file points to the nameservers for both networks.) That
is where the GATEWAY and GATEWAYDEV is defined and points my notebook at
the LAN. It seems, though, that these definitions also preclude
communication with my dial-up ISP.
I'm aware that I can edit /etc/sysconfig/network and restart networking
services to switch between the connection types. Is there a way I can
configure my Linux box such that PPP is used as the gateway device if eth0
is not functioning?
Thank you.

Rubbish. You don't need to create a NT domain for 2 Win95 machines.
What you need is a
wins server = yes
in your smb.conf file and a correct /etc/lmhosts file on the SAMBA
server. Then simply tell the Win95 machines to be using the SAMBA
server as WINS server , thus avoiding the usual "my master_browser
is more important than yours" broadcasting wars.

[snip]
I don't think 486's are going to be able to keep up with 100Mbps
traffic. For one thing, most 486's that I have seen are not pci
equipped, and I don't think you will find any 100Mbps isa NIC's. I
don't think they exist. So you might be back to 10Mbps after all!
At work we have netgear autosensing hubs, and they seem to allow
100Mbps full duplex connections. At home I have some cheap hub, and
even though the computers on the network have 10/100 cards, they are
all operating at 10 Mbps half duplex because, I think, that is all the
hub can support. But for 35$ brand new...
As far as compatibility goes, all hubs seem to speak tcp/ip. Not all
hubs will forward DHCP requests, however. Do some research, call some
salespeople and ISP's. Have fun!

Subject: Linux box on NT network: Network Name? Visibility from other hosts?
Date: Wed, 9 Jun 1999 14:55:43 +0200
I have a Linux (Suse 6.0 w/ many updates, if it matters, running kernel
2.2.latest) machine on a very large (50k users?) NT network. I use DHCP to
get an IP address at bootup.
I can ping machines by name (in the same domain, anyway) and IP (all across
the WAN), but I cannot ping my Linux machine by name. I can ping it by IP,
though. I can't see the Linux machine in the Network Neighborhood, etc.
I've played around with many options in /etc/dhclient.conf, but dhclient
fails to get an IP if I make any substantial changes to the default (and it
always says that the "option" lines don't follow the correct format, even
when pasted in directly from the dhcp-options man page).
Can someone please tell me how I can get my Linux machine seen via it's
NetBIOS name from WinXX hosts? I suspect that it has something to do with
dhclient.conf, but I have yet to figure it out. I believe I have all
required protocols, etc. smbclient can see the WInXX hosts, for example.
Help?

Well, after looking at your smb.conf file the most obvious thing that
grabs me is that you do not have your guest account set to
guest account = SFMuser
which means you probably do not have an SFMuser in your linux passwd
add this user but do not enable, it is a null but necessary for linux
to pass info to samba and vice versa. (anyway that is what I
understand it to be or some such <G>
and just for kicks make sure you actually have a workgroup set up on
BOTH machines called SFM (or whatever) <G> hey, I forgot to do that

there might be one or two other things in there that are suspicious,

They work...but you just have to know the secret :) First, IBM buys
their Ethernet controller chips from either AMD or Intel (depending on
the card). So, from that tidbit of information, what you do is
recompile the kernel with the AMD PCnet32 (PCI) option (which worked for
me) or try one of the Tulip options (work with Intel).

I've got two computers: a K62, and a 386 I'm trying to net together,
just for giggles. The K62 has Win98/Linux dual-boot, and the 386 is
just
Linux (running like a champ!!!)
The problem stems from the Windows side not seeing the 386. I can't
even 'ping' it. This, of course, is no problem for the Linux side of
the K62.
I ask you this now, knowledgeable ones. What am I doing wrong? I've
successfully done this before, on other machines (actually the K62 in
Linux to another in Win98) and belive I have done this the same way.
Could someone let me know, step by step what to do, so I can go over
something I may have missed?

Well, on my system (Slackware 3.3 with standard BSD printing

I also have a /etc/hosts.equiv file which just has the full names

hi,
the thing with the 'network neighborhood' with win-nt can sometimes be a little
difficult ... ;)
if you can ping the linux-machine by ip the network on it is correctly running
... if you dont have a name server running you will have to enter the ip and
name into the file 'hosts' (in c:\winnt or /etc [on linux]); then you also can
ping it by name ...
the 'network neighborhood' shows only smb-hosts so you will have to run samba!
there can be more parts be wrong:
all samba configuration is made in the file /etc/smb.conf
first you have to introduce with the the network interfaces - 'interfaces =
ip/mask [ip/mask]'
the parameter 'lm announce' normally is true - that means samba will make
broadcasts to the net to say 'i�m here' an to tell the other hosts his name
(e.g. netbios name = bayreuth).
you should not start samba by inetd - this could cause also those problems;
perhaps you can increase sambas os level because win-nt has such a high os
level so that samba could fall sometimes 'under the table' ... ;)
if anything helps; make samba a 'wins server' ( wins support = yes) and tell the
nt-mahine in the netwoking properties the ip of the linux-box as wins-server ...

I don't get the problem with receiving a large e-mail (that is
configured, usually, at the server end), but the problem you may
be seeing is with FTP masquerading (ip_masq_ftp.o module) timeouts.
If you're doing a masqueraded FTP connection and try to get a big
file, the control connection masquerading entry may be timing out.
These typically time out in 15 minutes (netstat -M will tell you), so
if your fetch takes longer than that you'll never get the ftp> prompt
back because the control connection has gone away (you will still get
the file, though).

Thanks Brian. I did try that, using eth1 on the hub and eth0 to the
cablemodem, but no success. Here's the config:
Linux eth1: 10/100 NIC, IP: 192.168.2.1 - I can ping this internally
(via loopback, I'm assuming)
Win98: 10/100 NIC, IP: 192.168.2.2 - I have the gateway configured as
being 192.168.2.1 and have tried DNS on and off to no avail.
I can't ping either machine from the other one. Maybe this is a Win98
configuration problem? If so, I'll re-post this on the win98 newsgroup.
But, I do want to ensure my Linux box is configured correctly, too.
One further question: I did uncover info on configuring MediaOne and
Linux to work via the cable modem and using DHCP as the protocol (via
another thread in this newsgroup), but now am wondering how I can
configure eth1 to route packets through to eth0 (which will be connected
to MediaOne). Since eth0 is using DHCP, do I simply configure the
routing between the two devices and leave the dest IP blank (hence,
letting dhcpd update the routing table, if it does such a thing)?
Thanks again -

By "commercial use" I assume you mean use as a high-volume
high-reliability mail-server.
I've only set up qmail on single-user workstations (as opposed to
"commercial use"), but I was impressed with it. The installation and
configuration is pretty straight-forward thanks to both a clean design
and excellent step-by-step instructions.
It even built/installed hassle-free on an old Iris Indigo running Irix
5.3 (not always the most compatible machine in the world).
OTOH, the few times I've tried to make minor adjustments to sendmail
configurations the results varied but generally included dizzyness,
facial tics, bleeding from the ears, and a broken configuration.
