Okay, you appear to be right, the registry patches are making the
default TCP receive window as large as it can possibly be (i.e. 
allowing more data per TCP packet). 

Changing this under Linux is documented in:

  http://www.psc.edu/networking/perf_tune.html

under "Procedure for raising network limits on Linux systems for
2.1.100 or greater".

What does "cat /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_default" report?

Subject: Need help with some networking basics
Date: 28 Jun 1999 22:08:00 +0100

I'd appreciate if any knowledgeable network types out there could set a 
very confused newbie straight on a few networking basics.

I'm thinking about setting up a lan for my family now that we have 2
PCs - machine 1 (Celeron 300A with 64MB RAM) and machine 2 (Pentium 75
with 16MB RAM).  What I want to do is have each in a separate room
(they'll be about 15m apart) and set one up as a proxy/firewall and
print server for the other while retaining the ability to have local
users login directly to either machine.  I would like to be able to
remotely login to the server to update software - I guess I would need
SSH for this.  However, I am migrating everyone here to Linux and
would like to ensure that regardless of the machine they login to they
are presented with exactly the same interface and file structure so
they could save a file in their home directory on machine 1 and find
it there next time they login to machine 2 and vice versa -- the
network should be transparent to the user.  As I understand it
installing Linux on both machines would just lead to each user having
2 accounts, one on each computer, and mounting the root partition via
NFS would just lead to the filesystems on each machine being different
without doing anything about account details.  Obviously, I'm missing
something here.  Can anyone tell where I can find documentation for
this sort of thing?

The users will almost exclusively be using X applications.  Also does
Thin Ethernet have enough bandwidth to cope with this?  Which machine
should the server be - should it be the faster one with more memory,
or the other?

Thanks for your time.

You might try to proxy that particular page. Or use a cgi script that
fetches the url you want to show.

Or ... use a frameset. The page you host could be a single frameset, that
fills the entire browser window. This frameset contains a single frame: the
page you want to show.

You mean Civilization: Call To Power (ie civ III)?
Yes, and runs very well .

Subject: HELP! Netscape doesn't recognize dialed-up connections
Date: 28 Jun 1999 14:12:56 -0700


I have SuSE 6.1 installed on my PC.  Modem setup is fine.  Connections
are successfully established with my dial up server.  DHCP works
successfully after the connection is established with the server, and
I am able to telnet/ftp to Unix boxes on the "other side"
successfully.

However, when I start up Netscape, it doesn't recognize the open 
connection.  What could be going wrong?  I've tried looking
everywhere, but I can't see a single place in Netscape where I
can set anything up with respect to this?  If my local xterms
are able to recognize the existence of the connection, why isn't
my local Netscape able to do the same thing?

Is it something in my network configuration files, perchance?

Another question: is it possible to pop up X terms/windows on my
Linux box (this side of the firewall, with its server assigned IP
address and all) from the Unix boxes on the "other side"?  How?
(How will the Unix machine resolve the addess of my Linux box)?

I tried export DISPLAY=<myLinuxBoxName>:0.0 but the Unix box
spat in my face! :-(

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello,

Your last line gave me the solution, case I was using version 1.7.x.
After I=B4ve installed the 1.9.x version everthing worked good.

i think you are looking for 'alias' not 'redirect'.

I need to setup Red Hat 6.0 for a friend and I need someting as
straightforward as minicom, but less complicated.  Does anybody know of
any such dialers for RedHat 6.0.  I personally use Slackware Linux and
I'm aware of a program called pppsetup which asks you questions about
DNS (ip of DNS server), and the authentication method, modem port, etc.
and then it spits out a script which you can run and modifies your
/etc/resolv.conf, and other options files files enabling you to connect
with little or no problems.  I have all the info necessary, but I'm
looking for some sort of script that comes with Red Hat that would make
this easy, provided his modem works for it

==========================================================================

if you go through the assembly and compare instructions you'll see
that although the C++ assembly has a lot more labels than the C
assembly it is *exactly the same op-codes*.[1]

this example is too trivial to elicit any difference.  still C passes
through cc1 and C++ passes through cc1plus.  a more complex case could
show a difference.  i shall investigate further.

[1] i've hacked my compiler spec to send -march=pentiumpro by
    default.  the verbose assembly reflects this.

[2] except for the `xor eax,eax' at the end of the C++ to
    return 0 from main.  the original C code was a bit shoddy on this
    point since it promise to return an int but failed to set the
    return value.  i do not hold this against C++.

Subject: Radius and PPP problems
Date: Mon, 28 Jun 1999 22:33:30 GMT

I am using Radius 3.6B and a Cisco2511 for my ISP accesses.

My file is:

DEFAULT Authentication-Type = Unix-PW
        IdleTimout=600,
        Service-Type=Framed,
        Framed-Protocol=PPP

pppuser Authentication-Type = None
        .... {and so on}

By looking at the logfile, I get three different logins:

 ------------------- Type 1 login --------------------------------------
Sat Jun 26 00:14:46 1999: Received-Authentication: 189/101 'merc001'
from
194.91.244.210 port 5 PPP
Sat Jun 26 00:14:46 1999: Authentication: 189/101 'merc001' from
194.91.244.210 port 5 PPP - OK -- total 0, holding 0
Sat Jun 26 00:14:46 1999: Received-Accounting: 190/132 'merc001' from
194.91.244.210 port 5 $"0000008F" PPP Start

194.91.244.210 port 5 $"0000008F" PPP Start - OK -- total 0, holding 0
==========================================================================
 This is the login I'd like for all of my users.

=================== Type 2 login
=========================================

Sat Jun 26 07:07:04 1999: Received-Authentication: 209/106 'stra001'
from
194.91.244.210 port 2
Sat Jun 26 07:07:04 1999: Authentication: 209/106 'stra001' from
194.91.244.210 port 2 - OK -- total 0, holding 0
Sat Jun 26 07:07:08 1999: Received-Authentication: 210/107 'stra001'
from
194.91.244.210 port 2 PPP
Sat Jun 26 07:07:08 1999: Authentication: 210/107 'stra001' from
194.91.244.210 port 2 PPP - OK -- total 0, holding 0
Sat Jun 26 07:07:08 1999: Received-Accounting: 211/147 'stra001' from
194.91.244.210 port 2 $"00000095" PPP Start
Sat Jun 26 07:07:08 1999: Accounting: 211/147 'stra001' from
194.91.244.210 port 2 $"00000095" PPP Start - OK -- total 0, holding 0
 ----------------------------------------------------------------
The PPP starts, as I'd like, but before getting a "port 2 PPP" grant,
that
 users gets a "port 2" grant. The user and login password is thus made
twice.

=================== Type 3 login ==================================

Sat Jun 26 16:44:14 1999: Received-Authentication: 50/140 'vito001' from
194.91.244.210 port 1
Sat Jun 26 16:44:14 1999: Authentication: 50/140 'vito001' from
194.91.244.210 port 1 - OK -- total 0, holding 0
 ----------------------------------------------------------------
This user _only_ gets a "port 1" grant, and not the "port 1 PPP" grant
as
in Type 2 login.

This is the most important problem I have. I get a 20% of users who
cannot
login due to this problem. A 30% of users logs in through the "Type 2
login", and the 50% has no problem at all.
The user and login password are made via the /etc/passwd file, and the
ppp
authentication can be done manually (by typing it at the cisco login
prompt) or automatically via the pap protocol. This means, in the cisco
I
have put

aaa authentication login default radius
aaa accounting network start-stop radius
ppp authentication pap

I have put this latter line because any user with any password could
gain
access by using the Windows 95 RemoteAccess program in the automatic
mode
(without the terminal window being displayed), but I am not so
interested
in pap anyway.

Thank you for all you can do cos I have no clue on how to solve this
problem.

Bye,
Luca

Somehow, I managed to get it working.  I just tweaked parameters I
wasn't too sure about until it started communicating.

I will play with the tools you are suggesting, though, thanks.  I'm
uncomfortable with the idea of not understanding this stuff, even if it
seems to be working at the moment.

Next project; Apache!

Thanks for the help,

Give a bit more information, like error messages and/or relevant parts
of the mail logs, and it might be possible to answer your question.
Also, details about your MTA, etc.

Don't know about Netscape, but
with X displays you could export the
IP address. Of course the LinuxBoxName
is not recognized by the foreign server
because you're in a dial-up connection,
but you could type xhost + to authorize
the remote server to connect to your X
server and use export
DISPLAY=dial.up.ip.address:0.0 and run
a program from the foreign machine as an
X client.
