If you are doing ping and your arp table is empty, then something is wrong
with your network setup. Even before you start troubleshooting your tcp
connections, see if network devices are up and running including hub and
cables. If you positive that all devices are working then after you ping
your win station you should have an entry in arp table with MAC address of
your win station.
Also on win station you should copy your c:\windows\hosts.sam file to hosts
file if you are planning on connecting to your Linux box using name instead
of address.
What exactly is happening with ping? What's the output of command when you
are trying to run it?
Good luck!

Hmm, I'm hoping someone will correct me and tell me I'm wrong, but with
port mapping like this, you can't send it to a range, you can only send
it to a specific IP address. What's happening here is that you're
getting what appear to Linux as "unsolicited" packets on port 6112. It
doesn't realize that they're due to you playing a game with someone, so
it just ignores them since there's no service running on that port.
However, you (of course) want this traffic routed back to your masq'ed
machines, so you have to put a port mapping out there. Problem is,
there's no way for Linux to tell which machine should get this (on the
fly), so you have to tell it -- and that's where the problems begin.
Am I wrong??

So, make a route.
First do
route -n
to see what you have now.
We also do not know what ethernet addresses you have assigned the
various machines. Lets say in the 192.168.0.x range
then add
route add -net 192.168.0.0 eth0
(of course first of all you should make sure that eth0 is actually
running on your machine
ifconfig will tell you if eth0 is up)
But more simply you could just use the control-panel in redhat, choose
the network configuration tool, and configure your network with that.

I have downloaded the new SuSE 6.1 kernel 2.2.7 which has an rpm-format. Now
I need help to install these kernel into my system.
After I had install the kernel with the rpm -Manager

make modules
make module_install
I �ve got error messages, error 1 and error 2 and nothing happens.
So I need help, what command is wrong or what must I do to get the new

Unsupported assertion noted (again).
What source code?
How _much_ smaller (if any)?

Without proof, this is just more FUD.

Mars_nwe does only emulate a Novell 3.1x server. It will happily run
behind a Netware 4.1 server but won't cooperate into the NDS. If you
want a Novell 4.1 server on Linux you have to buy it from Caldera and
the prices are a lot like the ones for a real Novell Netware.

What do you mean "Proxys are configured correctly in netscape"? What
proxy program are you running? Are you running mail through local
sendmail or directly to your ISP's mail server? Can you access the
internet from the machine that is connected and not the other one? If
neither can communicate, you may need to see if /etc/resolv.conf is
properly set up (see man resolver).

If we knew what proxy you are running, someone might have a clue. See
/usr/doc/HOWTO/mini/IP-Masquerade for a way you can run without a proxy.

To access a Novell server you do not need an IP-address. But you need to
know the IPX-network number and the frame-type used. You can find the
network number by listening the IPX-RIP-broadcasts that should float
around your network. For the used frame-type I am not sure how to obtain
it easily for personal I let tcpdump let write a dump (option "-w") with
the "-e" option given and would look into it. You then can configure a
IPX-interface with:
ipx_interface add -p <device> <frametype> <networknumber>
You may have to run "ipxd -p" to get the routes to the server setted up
automagicly.
If you want to log into a Netware 3.x server there should be no problem.
With Novell 4.x you may have luck or there have to be Bindery Emulation
enabled on the server.

Mount one of the volumes with "ncpmount". It will ask you for a
password. You will then be able to use tools like "nwuserlist" without
further questions about the password aslong as the volume is mounted.

Subject: Re: telnet problems - no login shell
Date: 28 Jun 1999 06:30:41 GMT
I'm a real newbie to linux, installed my first linux (redhat 6.0) less
than two weeks ago, but here goes:
Sorry I don't have a fix for you but I may have a tacky work around.
I had the well documented problem of a long wait for ftp and telnet. Ftp
never did work but telnet would eventually give me a login. The fix from
the newsgroups was to add my local workstation's IP to the list of hosts
on the linux server. This fixed my ftp problem but gave me a problem
identical to yours with telnet. I don't seem to have a login shell.
I've tried adding the default login shell to the telnet command in the
inetd.conf (L /bin/login). No luck. I've tried adding a shell to the
in.telnetd command in hosts.allow (in.telnetd : ALL : /bin/bash). No luck.
I have found that by removing my local workstation's IP from the list of
hosts on the linux server, I can go back to my original situation --- no
ftp, telnet after a 60-90 second wait.
I've been watching this thread. I hope somebody has a nice solution to
make both work without server reconfiguration.

That's true if:
- the variables can not be of a subclass of the declared class, AND
- the method found at compile time matches the declared types of the
arguments *exactly* (so that no more specific method added at
run time could be more applicable), AND
- the method found at runtime can not be removed and replaced in the
generic function.
It doesn't sound as if CLOS can guarantee any of these, excep for types
which are not objects and functions which are not generic.

Check your /var/log/messages file and see if you have an error about

alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate
alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate
Hope this helps.

Greetings----
There was a error in /var/log/messages about ppp-compress-21.
I fixed this error per above reply by adding :
alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate
alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate
to /etc/conf.modules.
The results downloading with RedHat 6.0(2.2.5 kernel) are the same,
Netscape continually
stalls and stops receiving data many times during the download of large
graphics.
Downloading the same files with RedHat 5.2 are results in completely
difference behavior.
The link will start at about 3 k/sec and immediately climb to about 5
k/sec and lock in at this
rate for the duration of the download. Have experienced almost no
stalling with RedHat
5.2 ppp setup.
Regards,
Greg Rudd

Just the opposite for me. I was getting an address from pump, but not
a domain server. So I installed pump-0.6.7 and got nothing but
timeouts. I recycled the cable modem, to no avail. So I downgraded
back to 0.6.4 and started getting both an address *and* domain server
info. Go figure. I wish I knew what I actually did in that process
to make it work, but I don't.
