RJ45 cable can only be run in about 100ft lengths before you start noticing
major performance problems due to noise interferance. I think couplers might
take care of it, but I have never tried.

Make sure that the computer you are telneting from is in the /etc/hosts
file. You can either edit it directly or run linuxconf and go to
networking -> misc -> information about other hosts.
I had a similar problem, except for the delay was much longer (20-30secs)

OK Folks, here's a little update, but first, many "Thanks" to all of you for
your helpful suggestions. :)
Greg, what you suggested works well. I have a little inconsistancy though,
and wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that computer A has
internet access presently (still working on my firewall) and thus more
protocols, etc. than computer B.
Here's what happens when I restart both computers:
Computer A doesnt prompt for a password for Windows login.
Computer A does prompt for a Samba password, but doesnt remember it, even
when saving is checked.
Computer B does prompt for a password for Windows login, and wont let me see
the SMB server until I login properly.
Computer B doesn't prompt for a Samba password, and lets me access the SMB
server without hesitation.
I have deleted my .pwl files on both machines, and rebuilt new .pwl files,
but still get the same results.
Both computers now show Computer A, Computer B, and the SMB Server in the
Network Neighborhood. And when I open the Server from Computer A or B, I see
only their respective directories on the server, and nothing else (good). I
have yet to make a shared directory on the SMB server, but the simple things
first. Also, note that computers A and B both have a single folder on their
drives that are shared, but no permissions have been given to any users.
This is a "leftover" from my Windows Net Neighborhood prior to my Linux
server (I had simple sharing only then).
My guess is that Computer B is correctly logging in, even though both
Network Neighborhoods are configured the same, except for the differences
found in Computer A (Computer A is configured for Internet login to local
ISP).
Again, thanks in advance, any further help appreciated...
Mike

Subject: flakeway code?
Date: Wed, 09 Jun 1999 15:17:24 GMT
I am looking for code that will convert a UNIX machine into a devil's
advocate for the IP protocol. The modified machine will forward IP
datagrams between networks but it will introduce four IP impairments:
delay, dropping, duplication, and premutation that are tuneable. This
machine is commonly referred to as a "flakeway", as mentioned in RFC 1025,
written by Jon Postel. (Flakeways are very useful for studying the impact
of network-layer impairments on application performance.)
Is there Linux code available for this?

What do you mean "even when"? The whole point is that if you
get a dynamic IP assigned when you connect you need *some* IP
when you are not connected so that you can have routes pointing
through diald's proxy. In the past 127.b.c.d addresses were
often used because they were known to be available and packets
using them were not going to go outside the local machine.
The 2.2.x kernels do not allow packets with 127.b.c.d addresses
to be sent on anything that does not have the IFF_LOOPBACK
flag set (i.e. only lo) hence, if use 127.b.c.d addresses,
diald will never see any packets being sent on its proxy
and dial on demand will not work (but a manual link up
request will still work).

It should work with a slip proxy as well. Although addresses
are optional you probably want to give some. If diald doesn't
know any addresses it can't configure the proxy so you can't
have routes pointing through the proxy so diald will never
see any packets and dial on demand won't work (but manual
link up requests will).
There are two uses for not specifying addresses in diald's
config.
1. Do everything in an ifsetup script. This way you can have
all kinds of wierd interface and routing set ups - even
protocols other than IPv4 (although the currently released
diald only understands IPv4 so you can't use the fancy time
out rules).
2. Because you are using the "sticky" option to have diald
inherit addresses from the link once it is up. The first
connection has to be manually requested. After that diald
will use the last addresses dynamically assigned to the link
as if it had been told them in its config.
(Ultimately diald shouldn't be bothered with protocol specifics
other than for snooping packets. All interface/route stuff should
be done by ifsetup scripts)

Hmm, I could be in some trouble here. I had hoped to use EQL to replace
our ISDN between offices. If it is going to be this difficult to use
I might have made the wrong move. Anyone know of any use in field as

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The dynamic port allocation is just one of the NM problems (actually, it is the easy
one): You can open your firewall, and basically allow all ports from 1024 to 65535
through. This allows to call somebody from your machine. I've done this with audio
only.
he result: they can hear you, you can not hear them.
The main problem with NM is that it sends the IP address of your machine in the IP
packet body. So the other side gets your local IP address, which, when using
Masquerading, is most likely 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x. Packets to these addresses are
not routed, so they never get past the ISP of your NM partner.
The only solution I found so far: Connect through a PPTP tunnel to an NT server box.
Works for me since I only use NM for company-internal purposes.

Hello all,
I have tried for 2 months to get my Cable Modem to work with any Linux
distro. I have tried Redhat 5.2 and 6.0, Debian 2.1, and Slackware 4. All
with no success. I have used Linux for over a year so I think I am pretty
savvy with it. Anyway. I install all the above distro's then installed
dhcpcd. I tried bot the new version for the 2.2.x kernels and 2.0.x kernels.
I even tried the betas and alphas. I have tried both kernels, different NIC
cards, and even dif CAT5 cabling. Nothing works. RH 6 sets waiting for a
DHCP request during the install. Debian and slackware 4 send the DHCP packet
requesting an IP although nothing comes back.
I tried setting up static IP and routes to see if that would work, it
did not. I have asked 23945 people for help and even asked many IRC
channels. nothing has worked. I have read all the HOWTO's(memorized
most)And again NOTHING WORKS.
has anyone seen this problem? I am Lockport, IL. I called mediaone but of
course Linux or an *nix is NOT supported. Has anyone in IL successfully
configured a DHCP client to work with mediaone Express? If so PLEASE
contact me. I am thinking of going back to dial up just because I want my
network to all be able to browse.
Of course the modem works fine on two of my Windows machines( 98 and NT 4
wrk). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm running Red Hat 6.0 as my firewall to the internet and I've got
ipmasquerading working just fine. I'd like to be able to host games, such

forward it to machine A. if that machine isn't up, forward it to machine
B'. Any help is appreciated.

Date: Wed, 09 Jun 1999 16:12:38 GMT
Well I've been having some trouble with RH 6.0 and 2 3c509 cards (one
is a B the other not). I downgraded when my 2.3.3 kernel and glib 2.1
libraries became corrupted. During this time I got a new motherboard
and a hard drive died after 1 month (violins play in the background).
I now have a 350 MHZ AMD K6 3D cpu, a 4 PCI, 1 AGP, 3 ISA, 2 IDE, 1
floppy, 1 PS2 port, 1 USB, and 1 IRDA port. I have an ISA PNP sound
card, 1 3c509, 1 3c509B, 1 AIC7850 SCSI card, 1 Trident AGP video, 1
and a bttv card. I have the 3c509 card set to io 260/irq 10, the sound
board is at io 220 and irq 5, the AIC7850 is at irq 11 and the 3c509B
is set to io 300 irq 9.
One mistake I made was to enable the video interrupt (irq 11) the
caused the AIC7850 to move to 10 which bgan all my troubles. One thing
I must note both the sound card and the 3c509B are set at boot by my

OK, so set it to accept, and add an input rule at the end that leads
everything to DENY with the -l option to log what's being denied. Then
look at /var/log/kern.log and see what it is that's not going through.
NIS is a pain from a firewall point of view since (Istr) it's an RPC
service where the port numbers are variable...
TBH, I experimented with policy=DENY, but found it required some
fairly contorted rules. I send all incoming SYN packets through a
"syn-in" chain and all incoming UDP packets through a "udp-in" chains
and accept others.

At the moment the current diald can only snoop IPv4 packets - anything
else falls under the catch all filter rule which may ignore them
or may give the link 30 seconds (I can't remember what the default
standard.filter does off hand).
There is an as yet unreleased diald which can be told how to
filter all kinds of weird and wonderful protocols (IPv4, IPv6, IPX,
tunnelled combinations etc.). If you are, er, offering to test it
for something other than IPv4...?

I have 2 3c509 cards (one is a B the other not) in my machine. I load 1
copy of the 3c509 module. Here is my conf.modules setup:
alias eth0 3c509
options eth0 irq=10
alias eth1 3c509
options eth1 irq=9
I hope that helps.
