Subject: nntp using plug-gw from FWTK
Date: Thu, 10 Jun 1999 16:24:51 +0100
I am attempting to configure a proxy firewall using SuSE 6.1 with tis-FWTK.
I have a box with 2 nics - one to the private network and one to the
internet. Everything is set up according to the Howtos and the HTTP proxy
works great. The problem is that I cannot get newsgroup access (even though
my netperm file has the plug-gw configured to allow all private ip's to
connect to all intenet addresses on their nntp port and vice versa). Am I
missing something obvious?
Thanks in advance

Subject: Setting up a 486 with LRP...
Date: Thu, 10 Jun 1999 09:47:21 -0600
Brief Overview:
1 small LAN consisting of 10 Windows 98 machines and a LINUX fileserver...
been up and running for sometime... it works...
1 Cable Modem with a static ip... just installed...
1 old 486 to act as the firewall/router for the Cable Modem... running LRP
Connected the Cable Modem to eth0 on the 486 and eth1 to the hub.
Now see, since I got wormholed into setting this up I should note that I know
very little about networking so my question(s) is:
How do I go about configuring LRP to work in this stituation??? I thought I was
doing it right but I cant even get a simple ping to work on either eth0 or
eth1...
If I could get that working then I can worry about get the IP masquerading
rules right...
Thanks,
Ryan

Hey! Thanks for responding.
Anyway, I had deduced that BellSouth does use PAP. I am using netcfg in
the RedHat derived Turbo Linux. I enter the options into the PAP
section, but the connect script still fails. I used minicom also, to
verify the correct "look for" strings, but because it's PAP I can't
connect using minicom (the old trick was to connect, then exit minicom
without resetting the modem, and manually run pppd...then you could
write the proper scripts based on that).
Anyway, tried a variety of things last night. Printing out the
ppp-howto now, so maybe I'll just skip netcfg.
Thanks,
Fred

My smb.conf corrupts everytime I run linuxconf. I now resort to manually
configure samba instead of using linuxconf.
I suggest you remove and re-install the samba rpm package.

Subject: Ethernet Card Problems in Linux
Date: Thu, 10 Jun 1999 23:25:00 -0700
Hi. I have an NE2000 ethernet card at IO address 0x300 IRQ 5. When I first
installed my Red Hat 5.2 Linux system it autoprobed my ethernet card with no
problems. So I get into Linux, ping the other machines on my LAN with no
problems. Then I reboot the system, and now at bootup it reads: Eth0:
Delaying initialization. What does this mean?? I thought I had messed it up
with my Internet setup in Linux, so I formatted and reinstalled, it
autoprobes with no problem again, and now I can ping other systems on LAN
again. But now, with no PPP interfaces even setup, I reboot system, bam, no
ethernet, same message, eth0: delaying initialization. I have worked on this
problem for weeks and cannot figure out what to do. I am out of ideas. Can
anyone give me any suggestions whatsoever???
Thanx in advance.

hello all...
I have a problem with diald daemon 0.16 under SuSE Linux 6.0 Kernel
2.0.36.
The serial line works without any problems together with pppd,and the
chat script is OK.
I would like to setup a serial line connection without a modem, with
PPP.
The raw PPP Connectin worked without problems. However, if I want to
use the
connection with diald and PPP, then nothing happens. The debug option is
set for diald and the messages which appears in / var/log/messages, are
the following:

I " deactivated " the Options modem, crtscts, lock and netmask in the

My /etc/diald.conf script looks like:

remote 192.168.0.1

Where could be the problem ???

I have no argument with this. I like command lines. I simply maintain that
anyone who thinks Windows is confusing (the mother in this case) is not even
close to being ready for linux. Someone really new to computers is likely to
be able to find a file that they didn't save in a logical place on what is
likely to be their only partition on their only hard drive by simply
accidentally stumbling across "Find" on the Windows Start menu. That same
person is highly unlikely to know the proper syntax for the 'find' command in
Linux, nor are they likely to be able to make much sense out of the man page,
*if* they even know that there are such things as man pages in the first place.
<g> That's my point. You won't find me arguing against command lines. I like
'em.

I want to connect to my ISP with RH6. I have a SupraMax modem. I think I've
configured my PPP interface, etc, but I don't get any sort of sound out of
my modem when I try to connect, although no error messages are reported.
How do I test my modem. I have tried to use minicom, but to be honest, don't
understand what I'm supposed to do with it. If I could just send some AT
commands to my modem, or anything else someone can suggest then it'd be a
start.
Is kermit the key to this? I don't seem to have it on my system, and I can't
download it from the net, cos my modem's not working :)
Can anyone suggest anything?
TIA

I don't know of any such script. But most ISPs accept PAP or CHAP
so configuring the /etc/ppp/chap-secrets file in the same way as the
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets file should let you connect either way.
