Subject: 2 modems routing problem
Date: Wed, 23 Jun 1999 23:22:25 GMT
I have 2 modems on my linux server. One stays on a leased line
and has a ppp connection to our internet provider.
The second stays for incoming calls with mgetty +ppp +pap.
On the same box I have a network card which is used for masquerading our
LAN (C class - 192.168.x.x). I also configured a squid cache server
in order to reduce traffic with the ISP.
I gave to the second modem (for incoming calls) an address from our
LAN so that it looks like a member of the LAN and I put the local IP
identical with the network card IP (the gateway for the LAN).
The problem is that after I enter with an incoming call into the
network with a remote windows machine (pap) I cannot browse the inter
the internet and I can't even ping another machine (from the internet)
Can anybody tell me how should I configure the routing table in order to
behave access to the internet. (I didn't forget to put in the options file
the proxyarp option). If I enter directly with mgetty and login speed is ok.

Hey again,
I replied to this yesterday saying how I had the same problem and was at
home last night thinking about it and remembered how when upgrading my
kernel it changed some of the references in /proc etc... so some other
packages wouldn't work properly since the paths were different, I upgraded
them also and they now work again.. so I started thinking that ipautofw
might be for 2.0.3x and this could be why it doesn't work with 2.2.xx
So this morning I came in and looked at the ipchains man page.
I threw together this command on my linux box:
ipchains -A input -j REDIRECT -p tcp -s 0.0.0.0/0 7000:7050 -d
10.10.10.201 7000:7050
so my ipchains rules look like:
Chain input (policy ACCEPT):
target prot opt source destination ports
REDIRECT tcp ------ anywhere 10.10.10.201
7000:7050 -> 7000:7050 => any
I then set my icq up as you would when using ipautofw and did a test proxy
connection... it returned "success", I haven't had a chance to actually
test this with someone on icq but it does seem to be doing what I want it
to.
Drew.

I think that what you describe about mail-handling is known as
Virtual Hosting, or words to that effect. I recommend consulting
http://www.sendmail.org. This topic is one of the 5 most - FAQ.
DNS configuration (as a cacheing server) is quite well described
by /usr/doc/HOWTO/DNS-HOWTO. But most of what you need to
do is described in the sendmail site.

Thanks Chris. I think my problem was that although I had the new name
for localhost in the hosts file, I didn't have the new name for
localdomain with it. I also had to add the newnamefordomain to
newhostname in Host Name in Basic Host Information in linuxconf.
The original hosts file reads:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
Mine was reading:
127.0.0.1 newnameforlocalhost localhost.localdomain
Problem solved when I changed it to:
127.0.0.1 newnameforlocalhost.newnameforlocaldomain
localhost.localdomain

kernel 2.2.5 is said to contain a networking bug, altough I do not know
more. You should probably upgrade to 2.2.10, as this version also fixes
a vulnerability for DoS-Attacks (see www.kernelnotes.org).

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Sorry for the cross-posting -- but I really need you help!
Dear Guys,
nsswitch reads to translate hostnames just by "files". host.conf too....
but
"route add -host anyhost dev anydev"
wants to talk to the name server..... I straced it... and it really
queries bind for anyhost and nothing more..... although libnss_files
gets loaded, afterwards libns_dns gets loaded.
"ping anyhost" does NOT behave like this... it just uses files as it
should.
Does anyone know why route always uses dns!? Is this a bug perhaps, or a
bug in the resolver.... this behavior appears only with route of SuSE
Linux -gt 6.0.
btw: does anyone know why ifconfig modifies the routing table if you set up a new
device?! for instance
ifconfig ippp4 192.168.3.1 dstaddr 192.168.1.1
yields a route in the kernel to 192.168.1.0 dev ippp4. Isn't that strange!?
thank you in advance,
Dan

small contribution: try "netstat -r" and "ping" for information on your
ip adresses
also try to use something else as minicom, for instance kppp to dial up,
and a web browser, to see if everything is working. I had a similar
problem and i just gave up using minicom.
named is not necessary to connect to an ISP.
read the PPP-HOWTO
the "network" daemon is handy to test your configuration over the
loopback network

How can I find out how fast my modem is transferring data (sending

be nice,
but any command that tells me the information would be ok. If there is
an

When you configure a firewall, you have to configure for both ethernet cards.
One card one rulset, the other card other ruleset. The best way to do this
without thinking too much is: http://rlz.ne.mediaone.net/linux/firewall/.

In your /etc/services file you can find the services and which port they are
running on. If there is something #-d out obviously that is not in use. Another
file is the /etc/inet.conf which tells you exactly which are the running
services.

You're wrong, I have two win98 workstations connected to the internet through a

If I understand correctly, you are using Win98 as your gateway (Linux is

affect its LAN connectivity.
That sounds like a Windows problem, you'd certainly have better luck if you
posted your question in a Windoughs group.

Frank,
First, thanks for your answer. Second, I did look at www.apache.org
for the answer. You should try this yourself. I searched several relevant
strings, like
default document
index.html
home page
and recieved no mention of the srm.conf file. Why be so insulting? Yes, the
answer is simple, but sharing info
is what saves us time and energy. Why pull my hair out trying to find the
answer when you can just ask and save the
headaches. I think you are undermining the principles that make linux so
great: sharing. If it pains you to answer such a simple question, don't

Within the section 'Code maturity level options' choose the option
'Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers' and the Option
for the EtherExpress Pro will be selectable.

Subject: Regarding TLI programming ...
Date: Wed, 23 Jun 1999 18:32:27 -0700
Hi All,
I am trying to port an application written in C on IRIX onto Linux. This
application uses the TLI system calls. Somehow the system calls don't seem
to work in Linux.
I link with the libnsl.so library during the compilation. However, it is
unable to recogonize the TLI calls like tl_open, tl_close ec.
Can someone explain me how exactly can TLI programming be done on Linux ?
Thanks,
Manish

Subject: How to setup a testing DNS
Date: Wed, 23 Jun 1999 17:08:35 -0700
I am trying to learn how to configure a DNS using linux Mandrake (Redhat)
6.0.
I have been using the DNS HOW-TO, usergroups, and web pages. I am just
testing/learning this, so my network is not yet on the Internet.
I am trying to setup a DNS on a 3 computer network as follows: Linux Server
as DNS and Web server10.1.0.1; a Win95 computer running Iexplorer 10.1.0.2;
a Win95 computer for whatever 10.1.0.3.
Currently, I am able to acces the Linux Web server if I enter an IP address
in
the web browser. I would like to access it by name (www.mydomain)using a
DNS. If I can learn this stuff, I will move my setup onto a Internet
configuration.
I hope this is making sense.
What is confusing me is that all the examples and instrucions are based on
a domain name which starts with the InterNIC. Does somebody have
instructions/examples based on an Intranet setup? How can I set this up
without first registering on the InterNIC?
Thanks in Advance for any assistance,
Steve

when two hosts try to send a packet out at the same time, rather than have
two bad packets transmitted, a collision is generated. both hosts detect
this, wait a random amount of time, and then try again. however, the only
reason that collisions would be causing a problem is if a) the segement is
*totally* saturated, b) there's an underlying problem (ie, dead card,
frayed cable), or c) the hub port you're plugged into is set to full duplex
while your network card is set to half.
