1. Whether to use ipfwadm or ipchains is a matter of which kernel you
are running. Versions 2.0.3x use ipfwadm, while Versions 2.2.x use
ipchains. In either case, an excellent site to tell you more than you
wanted to know about firewalling is
http://members.home.net/ipmasq
This will tell you all about how to set up a firewall in either case.
2. The proxy command-prefix is a command that you give to
FTP (the client program you run from within the firewalled domain.
Sorry for the vagueness of my previous note.

True it doesn't affect the default route but it does stop ppd assigning
your local (eth0) ip address as the inet address.
Which was the problem I had. Which sounds like what the original poster
is experiencing.
Although could be wrong ;-)
noipdefault
Disables the default behaviour when no local IP
address is specified, which is to determine (if
possible) the local IP address from the hostname.
With this option, the peer will have to supply the
local IP address during IPCP negotiation (unless it
specified explicitly on the command line or in an
options file).
Cheers, Mark.

Date: Thu, 24 Jun 1999 22:02:18 GMT
I just set up a client computer under Red Hat 5.2 via an
NFS installation, which went perfectly. When I try to send and recieve
data via an ftp session from my server to my linux client computer, data
is transferred extremely slowly. This problem occurs with NFS and ftp
sessions. A packet of data is sent from the server to the client every
two minutes. This problem never occurs from my Windows computer to my
server. Telnet sessions from my newely setup linux computer work
perfectly. When I do an ifconfig on the client computer the ethernet
device shows that there are errors. I think that the an error is
created every time a packet is sent. On the server there are no errors,
but there are collisions. This problem only ocurrs locally. If I try
to retrieve data from an ftp session from a remote computer the speeds
are perfect just like the telnet session. What should I try to do?

It doesn't. the -n switch means, route should not use dns to re-resolv the ip's from
/proc/net/route.
Do you know something else!?

I don't like this new feature. Is there a way to prevent ifconfig from doing this!?

Date: Thu, 24 Jun 1999 23:42:24 +0100
I'm using iptraf to get a better idea of the traffic going through a web
server, and when I start it up it warns me that some of the statistics will
be wrong due to the fact that the machine (RedHat 5.2) is set up for IP
masquerading.
Since it's only a web server and not proxying anything or routing, I assume
I don't need it to be able to masquerade. How do I disable it though?

Are you using the right device? Is the link set up properly? etc...

The only PPP documentation I know of is either the howto's that come w/ RedHat or

I have often wondered about this. Why is it that so many people suggest
using 192.168/16 [actually, most recommendations are for 192.168.x/24]?
I always suggest using 10/8 [10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255 for those
unfamiliar with the "/" notation]. On a private network, there is no
reason to conserve IP space, and I prefer the extra room the 10/8
network provides for custom naming.
One interesting scheme I saw worked something like this:
10.a/16 - Geographic location A
10.b/16 - Geographic location B
10.c/16 - Geographic location C
etc...
10.a.1/24 - All devices of type "1" [routers] at location A.
10.a.2/24 - All devices of type "2" [eg, DNS] at location A.
10.a.3/24 - All devices of type "3" [eg, DHCP] at location A.
etc..
10.a.x.1 - router for network X in location A
10.a.x.2 - DNS for network X in location A
10.a.x.3 - DHCP for network X in location A
...
10.a.x.100 - host on network X in location A
etc...
Then, you set up aliases such as
10.a.1.x [router for X at A] for 10.a.x.1
So that you can do nifty things like:
`ping 10.a.1.255`
..and see that all your routers are up at a specific location.
Very cool stuff.
For learning about networking, subnetting, and aliasing, it helps to
have a lot of "space" to play in. Hence, why I always suggest using
10/8.

But loading a machine up with crap is what it's there for.
This is especially true in with Microsoft based machines
as they're supposed to be better due to the wider range of
crap available for them.

Nope. That just prevents pppd from using the hostname to get an IP
address, it has nothing to do with the pppd default route.
