If you have a new enough version of the tulip.c in the kernel, you just
copy it to the right directory and name it tulip_cb.c.
If you don't have a new enough version, go to the url in the tulip.c you
have and download the beta/devel version.

What is the best way to link to workgroups?.Our configuration is the
following:
We have two buildings. They are sepparated by aproximately 5 km and
we have a rented point to point line ending with a "thing" called UTR
with a V35 interface (i don't know too much about it). On each side
there is a 3com SuperStack II 3300 Switch.
My idea is not to have to use two routers. Maybe with a transceiver from
V35 to ethernet, the system woud go.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I think that they should go one step further and tell people what is and
isn't set up - which standards they're trying to follow etc... I have had
exactly the same problem as David and I've been scouring the net for info
for 2 weeks now, all I found was qpopper, and when I loaded it I couldn't
understand how to run it because all it had was its bug track as info.... I
kept telling myself it was something simple, and now I know!!!... Linux has
been like that every step of the way.... I accept that it's a powerful OS,
but I am still shocked at the quality of information on how to set it up...
I'm going to try his solution now..... thanx David!!!

That *is* the log file for an unsuccessful pppd session.

So it seems the lock files are working OK.

yes. the C part is very mature. the code produced is solid.
the C++ standard keeps changing. for example, i had to recode a lot
of my applications in my transition from gcc-2.7.2.* to egcs. the
egcs libstdc++ seems highly volatile. i'd rather keep as little
dependent upon it as possible. at least, now, if C++ libs break, i
can at least recompile what i have without the catastrophe of
missing/broken libc.

the C++ libraries are in a state of massive flux. i have about 4 of
them on my system right now to support stuff i cannot recompile like
netscape.

nothing stops you from *developing* C++ applications. i do this all
the time. most of my new code is C++ (when it's not common-lisp) and
i hardly do any C any more. however, gratuious conversion of older
things *which work fine* is just silly.

As far as library incompatibilities go, I've pretty much resigned myself to
recompiling when I move from system to system or at least statically linking
them. I remember one of my first linux projects written in C on a Red Hat
5.2 system. I attempted to demo the program on a Red Hat 4.x system. It
didn't run. Somewhat embarrasing. Fortunately I had the source code with
me for a quick recompile.
Anyway, the egcs. I take it that this is automatically invoked when I enter
g++. Or do I have to do something special to link egcs to the g++ command?
Thanks

Subject: routing?
Date: Thu, 24 Jun 1999 14:09:19 GMT
I have two machines connected via ppp. I would like the machines to
act as gateways between two networks. The two networks are wec and zac.
Once the link is up any machine on wec can ping any machine on zac.
However, the converse is not true. The gateway at zac can only ping
the gateway at wec (the machine it is linked to via ppp). It is unable
to ping any other machines on wec.
An important footnote is that ipchains is being used on the gateway
at wec for internet access to the wec network. However, I have
the zac network set as a trusted host. Under chain input I have
target prot opt source destination
ports
ACCEPT all ------ 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.1.0/24 n/a
ACCEPT all ------ 192.168.1.0/24 anywhere n/a
ACCEPT all ------ 192.168.11.0/24 anywhere n/a
under chains output I have
ACCEPT all ------ 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.1.0/24 n/a
ACCEPT all ------ 192.168.1.0/24 anywhere n/a
I don't think anything under forwarding applies. There are more chains,
but they all act on the connection with our ISP. Another item of
interest is that I use diald on the gateway at wec. Following are the
gateway routing tables. Any help is truly appreciated since the link
cannot go into production until I get this working. Thanks for any
help, tips, or leads!

What type of printer is this? From your description, it's conceivable
that it's a laser printer with insufficient memory to handle a full page
of complex material, in which case a RAM upgrade in the printer would fix
the problem.
Another possibility is that you've got some sort of networking or cabling
problem that's causing the transfer to be interrupted partway through.
Try printing from other Linux applications, and see what happens. That'll
give more data for diagnostic purposes.

You need to add a proxy in addition to the masquerading. In effect you
are going to forward all port 80 requests from the valid ip server to the
internal one.

Yup, that's still correct. I hope it'll change soon, but I'm waiting for
Bell Atlantic to get off its duff and provide ADSL. They've had a
two-month "floating window" for when it'll be available, and they keep
floating it back another month at the end of each period. Grrr....

Yes, it looks like the default route (0.0.0.0 gateway) to ppp1 could be
the problem. It should be removed since it very likely is the active
default route and overrides the default route on ppp0.
I'd guess it is created by some script at the time of the call-in since
pppd won't override an existing default route, even with the defaultroute
option. I can't say which script - it could be in /etc/ppp/ip-up or
some script external to the pppd specific scripts.
(The 255.255.255.255 mask for a PPP interface gateway route is also odd
to me. It's 0.0.0.0 here, but this may have to do with the particular
networking implementation.)
: I also tried to change the netmask for 192.168.1.X (the remote machine)

That's because the ppp1 default route overrides the one to ppp0 and
becomes the active default route. This won't happen when the ppp0
default route is no longer created.

Sounds more like a configuration problem on one or both systems to me.
Most NICs have transmit LEDs, and these should flicker when you try to
access the net. Ditto for hubs. Check these lights to be sure you're
getting SOMETHING going in and out on the pings.
Try going over your other networking options, like system names, gateways,
installed protocols, etc. Check to be sure that your eth0 device is
installed in Linux.

All modems now compress anyway. Thus this will only slow your connection
if you are using a non-compressing modem, or if at either end the modem
to computer connection is too slow. Remember that software compression
also takes time.

2.3.9 is I believe the latest version.

I'm not trying to patronize you, but do you have a DHCP server somewhere on
the network to service you?

There is more to networking than just installing a NIC. For us to
help we will need the output of: ifconfig netstat -nr
Also, you will need to setup the /etc/hosts file and /etc/resolv.conf
and /etc/HOSTNAME. Check the networking FAQ then get back to us.

Hi everybody,
I'm looking for a solution for the following problem:
I would like to set up a firewall using ipchains and masquerading. My
problem is how to set up a webserver behind this firewall using a
ip-address like 192.168.1.10 but the public address is something like
195.182.96.29. Is there a solution for this?
Any help appreciated.
