What kind of dhcp clients do you have?
If clients are windows based, then you need to add a route on your Linux
dhcp server:
route add -host 255.255.255.255 dev eth0
Good luck!

You'll have to assure it does find the the DEC tulip one too. This is
just because there will be no eth1 without an eth0.

No. It's controlled by the order the drivers are loaded.

That's your fault. And I don't understand why you do not care of getting

Hi,
i'm trying to set up a linux server in my office, using SAMBA, to connect 4
windows boxes and to provide them the internet access. I setted up the
smb.conf and also the windows boxes. These ones recognize the server
(because when i shut the server down a message like that appears "unable to
locate a server for the domain ecc. ecc.") but the password seems to be
wrong.
Now i used the same names, the same group of my linux users and i also
synchronized the smb and linux passwords.
I read in some newsgroups that there may be some prblems with the windows
registrers but i really don't know where the problem may be, also because i
made an error installing linux and i started the NIS service without setting
it out without knowing how to disable it and if it may cause problems with
samba.

Hello all,
I just upgraded to RHL 6.0. I've been trying to configure my machine as a
host on a local network (i've entered basic network information such as IP
address, subnet masks, etc). When I initiate a PPP connection, the modem
connects and everything however, when I try to ping another network (e.g.
www.microsoft.com) it doesn't come up. I'm wondering if entering basic
network information can cause this problem and what can I do about it?
Please advise,

Subject: Redhat & yp - Setting up a client
Date: 21 Jun 1999 00:53:50 GMT
I'm trying to get NIS running on a pair of Redhat 6.0 boxes.
On the server, I installed and activated all three daemons on
installation. I then touch /etc/netgroup to create an empty
file as I don't believe I need this presently, and ran ypinit
-m to initialize the databases. There, I included the client
machine.
On the client, I pointed NIS toward the server on installing
Redhat. Shadow and MD5 passwords were enabled in that dialog
box as well. I added +:*:0:0::: to /etc/passwd and +:*:* to
/etc/group.
With the above in place, I can mount an NFS volume from the
NIS host and see the appropriate user name and group on an
ls -l however any attempt at logging in with a shared name
on the client machine fails. I can successfully su username
from root however.
What am I missing to allow NIS-distributed user logins on the
client machine?

These are all standard in the dhcpd from the ISC. If you are using an RPM
based system got to
http://niteowl.userfriendly.net/linux/RPM/DByName.html
and search down for dhcp. Get at least version 2.0.
If you want to "roll your own." got to
http://www.isc.org/view.cgi?/products/DHCP/dhcp-v2.phtml
and download the source.
I've installed DHCP on linux machines both ways and so far no problems.
You may find some MS clients try to snag two or three addresses. This is a
"feature" in the MS clients.

Sendmail or Qmail will both work. I am not a guru at either but qmail is
easier (IMO) to setup and has just abotu all the features a person could
need from an MTA.

You need to edit the file /etc/securetty to add teh necessary devices.
Personally I consider allowing remote root logins a Bad Idea so I'll direct

On your Linux machine, you should have the IP from your ISP associated with your
modem. You should also have an internal IP, another 192.168.xxx.xxx for your
Network card.
I don't know if this will solve your problem, but this has to be done for your
internal network to work the correct way.
