At the moment, I plan on using the unix version of Radius that comes

Thanks for the collision info. I'll definately go with a switch now.
Many people have told me about headaches with collisions.
Here's my setup list to date:
Software: Redhat 6.0, Latest version of Radius for *nix, Apache web
server, Not sure of a good accounting/billing program.. anyone
reccommend one?
Server hardware: 2 servers with 9 gig UW scsi drives (doubt i'll run
raid, no experience with that and i understand it's tricky under
linux) 256 PC100 RAM, P2450 or P3-500, 8 gig scsi tape backup, scsi
cdrom & scsi cd recorder
Other hardware: Cisco 2621 Router maxed out on memory and T-1 card
with integrated csu/dsu, Livingston Portmaster 3a-2t with 2 pri lines
coming in to start for up to 368 customers ( 8 to 1 ratio), Either
cisco or asante 14 - 16 port switch, and probably intel eepro10/100
NICS.

I am using ppp-2.3.7 and everything is cool except for one odd behavior.
When the ppp link is established, the terminal printss out much info
about the link (which is cool ) but it also prints out my user password

some file which is causing this but I'm unable to locate. Any words of

Subject: Print queue defaults to paused mode
Date: Sat, 12 Jun 1999 12:51:35 -0500
I have not made any changes in my system (RH5.1), but for some reason one of
my network print queues seems to be defaulting to pause. It worked fine up
until a few days ago and now it stays paused until I reset the server. The
printer is a Lexmark Optra R+ with a network card running TCP/IP. Jobs go
into the queue but will not come out until I reset the RH box. As soon as I
initiate the shutdown sequence the job goes to the printer. I am using
Win98/Samba to feed jobs to the queue and cannot unpause the queue from my
workstation. I have another similar printer configured in the same manner
and it works fine.
I have setup new queues and new IP addresses and nothing changes. It could
be the printer, but it works fine on a Novell network. Even the Postscript
test pages fail to print until I shutdown.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Help,
I have a red hat 6.0 server with dual processors and a Kingston

So I downloaded the latest driver (tulip.c-v0.91 and tulip.c-0.91e).

If I remove the "-D__SMP__", the module compiles perfectly, but won't
"insmod" due
to my dual processors and everything else being loaded as SMP.
Just for fun, I tried compiling the tulip.c that came with rh 6 and got
the same error.
Anyone have any ideas?

There is a ppp-2.3.8 option hide-password that might be what you need.
The option is in ppp-2.3.7 too except that it isn't initialized properly

I forgot that most of my paper documentation is out of date, and that I
should be using ipchains instead. When I added the lines
ipchains -P forward DENY
ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -s 192.203.0.2/24 -d 0.0.0.0/0
to /sbin/init.d/boot.local it started working. Most of of the SuSE 6.0
masquerade scripts are useless, as they all rely on the 2.0 kernel methods.
Actually, I would like to find how to still boot the windows machine when
the Linux server is down, (obviously without any internet or printing
services) if somebody is in the mood for a bonus question. I.E. I would
still like to be able to use the windows machine in stand alone mode, rather
like a laptop. Otherwise, I will post the question to a Win95 group. I
haven't tried running any esoteric services like netmeeting or realaudio on
the win95 box yet, but the basic browser seems to be alive.

I've read all the ipchains HOWTOs i still can't get it to work. Someone
told me i should use ipmasqdm, and i got that but i still haven't been
able to get it to work.
Novalogic (the makers of the game) support team told me this:
"You can try ports 0x0df0 and 0x0df1 (3568 and 3569)"
but i don't get it what they meant.
Can someone please help me.

Subject: rh6 through rh6 gateway not working.
Date: Sat, 12 Jun 1999 21:41:53 -0700
Hello, I have a small network at home routed through a RH6 linux
gateway. Two NT boxes are routed through the gateway which is hooked to
a cable modem. The 2 nt boxes get to the net just fine. The gateway
machine uses ipchains to masquerade the local network. I just converted
one of the NT boxes to dual boot NT/RH6. When I boot to NT on the db
machine its packets get routed through the gateway to the cable modem
fine. If I boot up to Linux (RH6) on the same machine, I can't get out
to the net. I can telnet, ftp and ping the gateway box from the RH6 box,
but no packets seem to get through. If I ping sun.com for example, the
ping hangs. If I rlogin to the gateway and do a "ipchains -L -M" I can
see the UDP chain and the source and destination seem ok (a lookup
through the nameserver for sun.com), but I don't get a response. The
default route on the box is set through the gateway machine just like I
set up the NT box and has a static IP (on the 10 net).
Any suggestions???
Thanks,

If you have dial up running on the linux server, it is only two lines,
assuming you are using a 2.2 kernel. Add the following to your boot.local:
ipchains -P forward DENY
ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -s 192.203.0.2/24 -d 0.0.0.0/0
Where 192.203.0.2 is the IP address of my win95 machine. Obviously you
should substitute whatever you are using - the 192.168.0.xx domain seems
safe and popular. As for Win95 networking, test first by pinging the linux
box, then try telnetting into it. Set up your win95 box to connect to the
internet through a fixed IP address, which should correspond to the IP
address of the linux box. You should be using TCP/IP networking protocol
for everything. Click on the TCP/IP network prototcol icon in Control Panel
-> Network -> TCP/IP, or install it if you are not using TCP/IP. Set the IP
address of your linux box as the gateway, and enable DNS. Use the
nameserver of your ISP as the DNS addresses. Disable WINS, unless you are
using Samba. I would suggest seeking a detailed howto if my hints don't get
you up and going quickly. I am using Win95 on the host machine, so your
control panel may look a bit different.

First thing is, you should have the modem on the Linux box and use IP
masquerading (see the HOW-TOs). Otherwise you either need to install a
SOCKS proxy on your windows machine or use commercial software on the
windows machine to be able to get to the 'net from the Linux machine
(see www.sygate.com).

ok i will try, but why red hat 6.0 is more hard to configure than 5.2,
the nic card was detect very well and after giving ip address the
network was OK, with 5.2. Now I must try to resolve the problem putting
my eyes in the engine motor, as I'm a newbie, it's hard, don't you think
so?
Thank you any way for the response.
