It may not mean anything. Is the ppp connection always up? Does it have
a static address? If no, then maybe the last machine to dial into your ISP
had tried a connection but quit before the distant host could respond. In
the meantime, you logged on, got the previous machine's IP address and
inherited the traffic bound for a now defunct port.

Subject: Can't install 3c509b's in RH60. Please help!!
Date: Tue, 22 Jun 1999 01:05:24 -0400
I've been having a hell of a time trying to get my linux
box connected to my NT box. I have 2 3c509b's installed
in the linux machine, and I thought they were ok when it said
"Brining up interface for eth0 and eth1" and then responded with
an "ok" for both. But I have been unable to ping my NT box or
vice versa with a connect the 2 with a cross-over cable, or a home
made cross over. I've been working with NT in networks for some
time so I'm quite sure it's configured properly, but can't seem to connect
those isa cards working in Linux.
I just noticed that when linux boots with the cross-over cables connected
that paticular card fails the startup test.
Please respond soon as I will be sticking a gun to my head shortly.....
Thanks,
Chris.

What is the difference between IP Masquerading and NAT? Is there NAT for
Linux?
Thanks,

Subject: ipfwadm with Kernel 2.2.7?
Date: Tue, 22 Jun 1999 05:00:13 GMT
I am attempting to set up my Linux server for ip forwarding/masqerading
for a Windows95 client to reach the internet. I've discovered that even
though I've configured my 2.2.7 kernel for firewalls, ip forwarding,
masquerading, etc., I cannot get ipfwadm to work (I apparently do not
have ipchains.)
When I attempt:
ipfwadm -F -p deny
I get the error message:
ipfwadm: setsockopt failed: Invalid argument
I suspect I will get nowhere until I get this problem resolved. I must
be missing something. Also, if I download an ipchains.tar.gz file from
the internet, how (where) would I install it?

Subject: Help: SMP causes weird latency!
Date: Tue, 22 Jun 1999 04:52:30 GMT
Well, for those of you who have been following my plight, I've reduced
it to it's elements.
I'm running Redhat v6.0 (with different kernels, and it doesn't make a
difference -- problem exists throughout) on a Dell Optiplex DGX 5100
(Dual Pentium 100's) and 48MB of RAM.
The symptoms are as follows: I try to ping and/or traceroute, and I
get grossly "out-of-whack" responses, like -900ms and 8192.443ms mixed
in with 72ms and 123ms responses. Definitely whacked out. That, and
my QuakeWorld server doesn't work -- it gets weird latency readings and
returns erroneous data to the clients.
Well, on a hunch, I tried installing a NON-SMP enabled kernel (i.e.
single processor kernel) and everything works great! When I go and put
the SMP kernel back in place, everything falls apart again. Other than
these errors (which are enough to make me worry), the SMP stuff *seems*
to work fine.
Any ideas?

Which speed? I suspect that it is given the computer to modem speed,
rather than the modem to modem speed.

Hello,
Looks like you are installing dhcp server instead of a client. Client deamon
is dhcpcd and dhcpd is the server deamon.
Read HOWTOs on dhcp server and client and also man pages.
Good luck!

Nothing. It was *my* laptop. Kinda pissed me off when it wouldn't
install over Windows 3.11.
"You need an upgrade version."
*SIGH* *Reboot to Linux, rm -rf /DOS/windows*
Oh, now it wants to scan for plug and play hardware. It wants to take 20
minutes to do it. Nice. Too bad I don't *HAVE* any P&P on this laptop. And
now it locks up each time it tries to install drivers for my generic ne2000
card.
Want to know the whole point of the exercise in futility? My parents
bought me a cheap digital camera. Works nice, but I need a PCMCIA reader or
use my laptop. No reader and the camera manufacturer didn't make drivers for
their PCMCIA card. So I needed to install Win98 so I could get files off the
PCMCIA card. I figured once Win98 is installed, get the network up and
running, throw WarFTPD on there and be able to FTP the files off to my desktop
and manipulate the images there.
Nope.
Since Win98 hangs when installing the drivers for my generic NE2000 card
(fucking up the boot process, mind you, with VXDs which are referenced but not
there) I get to copy it over to the HD, reboot into DOS, start up Linux with
loadlin so I can use the networking that I configured in 2 minutes on it to
FTP the files over to my main machine.
And remember, boys and girls, this is a distribution of Linux that I
downloaded off the net and unarchived into a subdirectory of my HD.
20 minutes to scan for P&P devices my arse. :/

Subject: Need help with configuring system as dial access server and printer
Date: Mon, 21 Jun 1999 21:59:15 -0700
I have small network set up in my home. My intentions are to setup a
print server / WEB access for
my family for use from one centralized point in the house. Each family
member has a personal
computer with an Ethernet card attached. Each Ethernet card is
configured as an NE2000 card. The Ethernet HUB I am using is a NetGear
10Mb Shared.
What I would like to know is how should I configure my copy of Slackware
version 4.0, running on
my new Pentium system, in order to allow all members of my family to be
able to access the Internet
via a single dial access modem, while also receiving shared device
access for printing via the same
single Pentium server system. In short I have but one spare phone line
to be share by the whole
family, as well as, one printer.
Note my wife and daughter will be using Win95 systems for there personal
computer, while my son
and myself will be using the LINUX systems. The server of course will be
Slackware v4.0 .
Thank much in advance.

NT does read FAT AND FAT32, you can also remotely edit Win9x registries, so I
would say it understands them.. All I got to say is that NT rules (along w/
Linux, of course:-).

Not sure about 6.0, but in 5.2 you can check "allow any user to
(de)activate interface" in the netcfg interface properties. Then the
users can use UserNet (Programs->Networking->Usernet, or 'usernet' at the
prompt) to activate and deactivate the interface(s). All the sudo
stuff seems unnecessary.
hope this helps.

I'll give ya my smb.conf file. I don't have Caldera, I have RedHat, but I have
the same version of Samba and this might be of some help, so here it is. I take
pity because I know what you feel like.
As far as proxy goes, you probably will be better off using IP Masquerading and
Forwarding than installing a proxy server, but I can't even establish a dial-up
connection with Linux, much less know how to do routing, so sorry, I can't help
you there.
