There's no "noipaddress" option, there's noip and noipdefault. With
the noip option you deny pppd IPCP negotiation and IP communication.
The noipdefault means that pppd is not to get an IP address from the

Very likely. What you mean is that the peer supplies DNS addresses with
the Microsoft hack of IPCP to do this. That hack is not a part of the
standard PPP protocol and very unlikely to become a part of it.
It's doubtful that the DNS addresses will change very often if at all.
Once you know the DNS addresses you probably don't need the peer to
supply them time-after-time, dropping the usepeerdns option and putting
the addresses in /etc/resolv.conf should work. Otherwise you'll have
to do something to get it linked to the actual file that has the DNS
addresses along the lines suggested in the README.
It's surely significant that this option isn't in the man pages, the
pppd maintainer certainly knows it's a hack.

Well, to make long story short, after installing RH6.0, using the
linuxconf tool to set up PPP, getting over the 21/26/24 conf errors
(thanks [EMAIL PROTECTED]), printing out if*, ppp*, reading the heck out
of them and tailing -f /var/log/messages, I STILL cannot get a
successful
connection. I think I have two problems:
1) Since my ISP (erols.com) uses dynamic IP addresses, I have set the
noipaddress arguement to PPP. After all the pppd negotiation, I get

I had a similar problem with an unsupported ethernet card (3Com
3c905B). I ended up getting an old 3c509 for about $2 and using that
instead. Word of advice though, for some reason RedHat6.0 assumes
you're too dumb to know that a / goes in front of the path and adds it
in. Took me quite some time to figure out that I was looking for
//i386. (Though I deserve it for using a Win98 box as an FTP server.

Date: Sat, 19 Jun 1999 15:49:07 GMT
I really appreciate all of the advice for HTML editors, and I will look into
them, but my problem with Apache/Netscape still remains.
I am conversing with someone over email, and he asked me to more fully
describe the problem. I tried to, and I'm copying that text into this
posting.
Pasted text:
I have multiple web sites on one server. I am using the VirtualHost
directive in httpd.conf to accomplish this. This problem exists on
some, but not all, of the virtual sites. The file srm.conf is correctly
configured so that the DirectoryIndex files are index.html, index.htm,
index.shtml, index.cgi. Ok, as for the Apache configuration, that is all
the relevant info that I can think of. If there's something in Apache that
you need me to tell you, ask and I'll reply.
Now, when I open Internet Explorer on a Windows machine and attach to the
web site, it works great. When I open Netscape Navigator on a Win box and
hit the web site, I get source code. The interesting thing about it is that
the source code is from the correct index.html page. That would tell me
that Netscape made a request to access the web site, Apache said, "what URL
are you looking for", Netscape replied, Apache said, "Ok, you did not
specifiy a document name, so my srm.conf file says that I should look for
index.html first. Ah, here it is, Apache passed the file to Netscape.
Perfect. So why does Netscape display it as source code and not
graphical!?! It's a little frustrating, though I'm not blaming you.
Anyway, that is about as much detail as I can think of. I'm sure that I
forgot something. If you want anything more, let me know.

Actually, it does:

(I've written other CGI programs in C before,
and this is the first to do this. Of course,
it's also the first where I've tried to juggle

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
It seems that your index.html is sent over with the MIME type text/plain
instead of text/html. I remember seeing this when the filename was index.htm and
the configuration file was not set up to use text/html for .htm files.
Netscape's behavior in this case would actually be correct, IE apparently looks at
the content and decides it is html. In addition, IE usually uses HTTP 1.1, while
Netscape uses 1.0.
There is a way to test this, with telnet:
telnet to port 80 on your server, and then type:
GET / HTTP/1.0
Host: hostname of your server
Don't forget an additional empty line at the end.
Now, if this turns out to be the problem, how to fix it? Probably somewhere in
the Apache configuration. But where, I have no idea.

Subject: Possible to direct connect NT Wks and RH6 with crossover cable?
Date: Sat, 19 Jun 1999 12:35:16 -0400
I've been working on this 486 linux box that's destined to be a
firewall/gateway. I got 2 3com 3c509b's installed and I believe
they are functioning. (At least they show up as "OK" when I boot)
For now, I just want to test the eth0 and eth1 to see if they are ok.
I figure the best way would be to try and mount some shared NT
drives. But for now, I have nothing but a x-over cable to connect
the 2 systems. I've been fooling around with samba and I believe I've
made all the necessary adjustments to /etc/smb.conf. But whenever
I try to run smbclient -L hostname I get this:
added interface ip=192.168.1.100 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
and then nothing. I do have some activity on the led's (and if I'm playing
an mp3 in NT
it stutters for a second). Otherwise nothing happens after that.
Anyways I'm looking for some pointers on what I'm missing. Thanks!

I've been casually looking for something like this for some time, with no
luck. I did recently run across the following in the smbmount man page:
: To mount an smb file system, I suggest using the option -c
: for smbmount to pass the mount command. For example, use
: smbmount "\\server\tmp" -c 'mount /mnt -u 123 -g 456'
: to mount the tmp share of server on /mnt
This did work for me. I've not yet tried to combine this with user
permissions in the /etc/fstab file to see if this might allow normal users
to do it. Perhaps a suid root script could do it, though....

I think it must be possible without having firewall administrator involved.
You see, X traffic isn't explicitly allowed in the firewall rule but I can
run X apps from outside-host on inside-host's X server.
It should be something related to VPN, setting up a PPP connection and a
route, or some port forwarding. The Linux VPN how to give an example, but
both ends are Linux with sudo capability, in my case inside-host is FreeBSD
3.2 (with root access) and outside-host is HP-UX 10.20, although I can ssh
to outside-host2 which is a RedHat 6.0 with root access.

Try setting your MRU and MTU to something like 296
(256 bytes + 40 bytes of header), or 552. Smaller
MTU/MRU values increase interactive performance
and multiple connection performance over slower
lines (yeah, 56K modems qualify as "slower") at a
slight cost in download speed on large transfers.

I always thought this was the sort of thing you knew how to do BEFORE
undertaking such a task at a commercial ISP...?
Assuming your network is 192.168.12.x, your router is 192.168.12.1,
and your Linux box is 192.168.12.13 (which, of course, it isn't;

Clear all of your existing routes. netstat -nr should show only
localhost routing... That means it should only look roughly
like this:

lo
(If you don't know how to 'del' routes, you're REALLY in trouble.)
Now, simply add in the routing for your T1:
# /sbin/route add -net 192.168.12.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0
