        A home user with a lot of money, assets, investments needs a
good tax preparer/consultant/lawyer.  Learning the ins'n'outs of the
tax code takes even longer (for the average person) than learning the
ins'n'outs of Linux.

        BTW, I agree that Xinvest isn't good enough... if there'd
been some development in the last year and a half, it could've developed
into something worthwhile...  still, it serves my purposes (keeping track
of accounts and especially asset allocation) better than Microsoft Money
or Quicken Basic.

where did u get this 195.195.195.195 address ? hope youre not planning on going
to the internet with that, because its a read address.

in win98 add the machine names and their ip address to /windows/hosts

in linux in your /etc/hosts file

        Hmmm... I wonder how many of those are forced re-installs

They accept it from the corporate world, because it happens in meeting rooms

Subject: data-link sniffing for enet, ppp, isdn, hdlc, etc.
Date: Thu, 10 Jun 1999 21:02:28 GMT

I do QA for a network vendor, and I like to use Linux whenever possible
in my test lab.

I'm trying to get a method of sniffing packets off of ethernet, ppp,
isdn, hdlc, etc.

Before you hit that reply button, I'm already aware of libpcap, tcpdump,
and all the cool decode viewers that are based on them (ethereal,
karpski, and the gazillion others).

The problem I have is that I need full view of all the Data-link packet
headers.  So for ethernet, that means MAC addresses, ether-type (etc.),
and for PPP that means a 0x7E flag, a 0xFF addr, a 0x03 ctrl, and then
a 2-byte protocol field before finally hitting the Layer-3 protocol
header.  I need to see all that stuff that most people aren't aware
of.  And I need it for ethernet, ppp, ISDN, HDLC, whatever I can get.

If any linux net gurus know of how I can get this capability, I'd sure
appreciate hearing about it.  I'm a medium-level coder too, so if
there's something simple in libpcap (for instance) that I missed, and
you want to bring to my attention, I won't come back with, "Huh?".

I don't have consistent netnews access, so please remove NOSPAM. from
the following mail address:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and send replies there.


Much thanks to all,

Joe

I did not try the ftp suggestion yet, but samba does have a global

I've never been very impressed with office... When in Windows, I still
use MS Works 2.0a, it's gotta be a good 4-5 years old now and it's
still 16-bit, but it's fast and simple. For instance, if you want the
name of a field to still be viewable when you scroll down, just name
the field. I haven't found any way yet to do that in Excel, other than
putting the title in the first cell, then splitting the screen. And if
there is, then it's buried somewhere behind the Office philosophy of
trying to be everything to everyone. Is Outlook express a better
program than Eudora Light/Free Agent because it does both tasks in a
single program? No, because rather than concentrate on one and do a
good job of it, they ended up doing a bad (IMO) job of each. Try
reading an e-mail from an OH user in Pine.

GUI's are good. GUI's are useful. GUI's are helpful. But that doesn't
lessen the usefulness of command lines. Try automating a function in
DOS, like say writing a batch file to clean out your netscape cache.
Then try automating the same thing in Windows. Another example, try
changing the extension of a large group of files in KDE. As far as
GUIs have come in this decade, there's still things that CLI (Command
Line Interfaces) do better.

I'm not sure if you read them right, had some other problem, and
changed to the lines above.  According to the second howto
decsribed above, you should use something like:

    alias eth0 ne
    alias eth1 ne
    options ne io=0x280,0x300

Now, if you must have 2 IRQs (I strongly suggest trying as above
first!), then you can go to your method.  In that case, perhaps
you have a problem with the IRQ...?

named *is* bind, in a manner of speaking.  You mean "make sure the
resolver looks in there first...".

To the original poster: this is done by ensuring that
/etc/nsswitch.conf contains the line

    hosts:      files nisplus nis dns
or
    hosts:      files dns

the word "files" must come first - before dns or the others, if

"defaultroute" is like the highlander - there can be only one.
Decide which of your two gateways (cisco router, linux with
IPMasq) is the more "general" route and use that as your defult
gateway.  Then add specific routes (not "default" using the other
gateway.

Or - as another poster said, give them all the cisco as the
default route and have the cisco point to linux for "default".
This will, as he said, add 1 hop for internet, but if the number
of clients are large, its easier to admin.

What's wrong with putting one inside "ip-up"?  To figure out which
one to put in, you could try something like this:

    cp resolv.conf.for.192.provider /etc/resolv.conf
    /sbin/ifconfig | grep 209.64 && 
        cp resolv.conf.for.209.provider /etc/resolv.conf

Other, more complex methods exist.  This should work very well,
however.

Subject: poor masquerading performance for games
Date: Thu, 10 Jun 1999 16:12:05 -0700

I've been playing starcraft over the internet. I have it set up like this: I
run two machines on my LAN with W95 as games machines and the I have a linux
machine as the gateway/masquerading proxy to the internet via a DSL
connection. What appears to happen is the linux gateway seems to be
buffering up too much data for one of the machines (the slower one).

Is there anything I can look at (e.g. netstat) that can verify this
assertion?

Are there performance/latency parameters I can tune to affect this?

Thanks,

good question :-)

But it was just an example, the program to handle telnet could be set to be
any program by editing netscapes preferences, so an xterm could be started up
on its own, or any other program that the users knows the path and has the
correct permissions for on the system.

With ipchains from the 2.2.x kernels, this is very easy. Go to
www.rustcorp.com and read the faq/howto.

Could you give a brief description of the network you're serving
numbers to?  That would help.

But for now, it sounds like you're trying to get your server to listen
on a port it doesn't want to listen on.  Hard to tell from here,
though.

Hope so!

I have two computers. One with linux and one with win98. The dns is not
working. If i type in linux: ping 195.195.195.195 it works correct, but if i
type ping MB (195.195.195.195) it says: unknow host. The same with pinging
my linux box under win98.
How can i fix this?
