Subject: ppp always connects but sometimes drops
Date: 23 Jun 1999 00:29:31 +1000
Hi
I'm having this weird problem when connecting to my ISP
(OptusNet-Australia) from my linux box (i586 - kernel 2.0.36 -
RH5.2). After establishing a *successful* ppp connection, the line will
drop after some few seconds to few minutes of activity. However, this
behavior is not consistent, in some instances it just connects and stays
connected for hours without any problems, in other instances I keep
getting the line drops repeatedly (ie. connecting successfully then
dropping on successive tests)
I also tested on windows NT (same machine) successfully a couple of
times but not enough times to establish that NT side is problem free.
The modem I know is no culprit because it connects to other ISPs without
any problems.
I included my chat scripts and a log of a single session (with kdebug=1)
where dropouts were occurring. If you can spot any abnormality in the
log messages or have any suggestions as to why this should be happening,
I would really appreciate your help.

Actually these commands have been working fine. The problem is these have
to be done manually upon restart. I just wondering where will be the good
place to put it so it will be executed on start up.
Thank you.

My suggestion is that you upgrade to a 2.2.x kernel, since the VIA Rhine
driver needed for this board comes with the more recent kernels. If
you're doing IP masquerading or certain other things, though, you might
need to reconfigure these items. This probably won't be an issue, though.

Go to the Linux Documentation Project homepage and start from there. I am not
sure of the url exactly now but if you go to Altavista.com and type in the
above wording, I m sure you will get there. If you still have problems, let me
know.

For file and print sharing you install samba
http://www.sfu.ca/~yzhang/linux/samba/index.html
and this one as well
http://home.talkcity.com/MigrationPath/maguai/samba.html
These sites singly or in combination are nearly guaranteed to get you
networked.
For the dialup share you need to read the IPMasquarade HOW-TO etc.
that should do the trick

If you want the other Compis to use INet, you have to install a proxy
server on your Linuxrouter or you use the IP-Masquerading (best is to
use both, the proxy for better performance).
the reason is, that the your Ip-Adresses are not official INet-Addresses
which can be routed over your ISP so you have to use a trick, best is
you reads the manuals about squid (proxy) and firewalling (masquerading
s a package from the firewall-packet)
Hope it works

Hi all.
This is not strictly Linux-related as such, but someone might find it
handy nevertheless.
I just finished a small patch for ProFTPD v1.2.0pre3 that allows
one to specify the maximum allowed bandwidth taken by each connection.
(I.e. it can protect you from being swamped by a single user.)
If you want to check it out, have a look at
http://www.prosalg.no/~vidar/proftpd/
I hope someone finds it useful - I do, because I was quite sick of
spending hours on the net trying to find something like this. :-)
Thanks,
Vidar

Have you issued the
"ipfwadm -F -a -m -S <your_net_id> -D 0.0.0.0/0"
command? Note that I'm quoting that from memory (I use ipchains now)
and it may be off somewhat.
You will also have to set the IP address of the network port on
your private LAN to be the default gateway on the W95 box. Without
that setting, masquerading will not work.

You shouldn't need to. Just make sure that the DNS server IP
addresses on the W95 box point off at your ISP's servers and you
should be fine.

It all depends on your particular Cable company. I have
Cablevision/@home
and found usefull information at
http://members.home.net/jasonbrossa/Linux
In short I had to use 'dhcpcd -h my_computer_name' to make it work.
It was working with RH 5.2 and works with RH6.0.
The latest RedHat has new utility 'pump', which did not work for me :(

Just login as root, then use YaST to config the network. Save the
changes, log out from root. Piece of cake. Should takes no more than 2-3
minutes.
Forget the SuSE manuel. It tells you absolute nothing, other than the
initial installation.

If it's an ISA Plug-and-Pray card, then 'man isapnp.conf' or man 'pnpdump'
(or was it 'isapnpdump'?). The /etc/isapnp.conf file, which may or may not
exist, on your box, applies only to ISA PNP cards. It does not apply to PCI
cards. If your NIC is ISA PNP, then you'll need to create the iapnp.conf
file like so:
pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf.
Then you must hand-edit the file to use the same settings as the other OS
you dual-boot. If you don't dual-boot, then just choose settings that don't
conflict.
I'm kind of fuzzy on this, so find and read the man pages.
Also, you should look at 'cat /proc/interrupts', and while you're at it look
at /proc/dma and just for good measure look at the directory /proc.
Good luck.

I figured out the three finger solution. Inside the VNC viewer on NT, click
