Cheap netcards will work, but why screw around when you can pick up decent
(3Com 3C509) cards for $49 (http://www.cpu4u.com/net.html)?

No, not directly. You will have to use some form of network address
translation (NAT). This is usually implemented as IP masquerading on a
firewall host. A firewall is a good idea for other reasons as well.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have an pop3 email account with an ISP that allows me to
have multiple
email addresses of the form:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
The address
[EMAIL PROTECTED] also works
I would like to set up a system whereby mail to
i) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (were user is a user on the
local
linux system) is passed directly to the users Maildir
ii) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (were unknown is
anything that is
not a local user) is passed to the postmasters Maildir
iii) [EMAIL PROTECTED] is passed to ALL the local
users
I am using qmail and fetchmail (to retrieve mail from the
ISP).
jeacocke.globalnet.co.uk is set up as a local domain in
qmail,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is set up as a mailing
list to all
users. I would like fetchmail to leave addresses of the form
[EMAIL PROTECTED] unaltered and pass them
directly to
qmail (which should forward unrecognized user names to the
postmaster).
But I would also like fetchmail to forward any mail with the
address
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to the jeacockes mailing list
I set up a cron job to run fetchmail as root with a
.fetchmailrc file as
follows
poll mail.globalnet.co.uk
protocol pop3
localdomains jeacocke.globalnet.co.uk
user jeacocke with pass mypass is jeacockes here

But all mail gets sent to the jeacockes mailing list. Any

Hi!
I have Linux server with four PCI rtl8029, rtl8029AS cards and
one ISA NE2000 (noname) cards. All this works very
well with linux kernel 2.0.35 version, not with 2.0.36, 37.
After upgrading to 2.2.10-ac8 Linux kernel it can't
determine ISA card and "mixes" PCI cards.
See some configured kernel's options for "Network Devices"

* NE2000/NE1000 support;
- EISA, VLB, PCI and on board controllers
* PCI NE2000 support
/etc/lilo.conf

Hardware:

Was somebody solve such problems?
If you have any suggestions please e-mail me?

I recently installed Linux (RH 6.0) on a machine at home. My other computer
is a Win98 that has a modem connection and uses Wingate to offer an internet
connection to my other machines.
You will be happy to know that the Linux machine works just fine going
through Wingate. Netscape's linux version needs to be configured to use a
proxy connection to the Wingate machine. You'll also need to build a hosts
file in order for Linux to see the other machines on the network.
Now, that said, I think you have it backwards. A Win98 box is a terrible
choice to expose to a constantly live internet connection. The whole reason
I got Linux was to use it as a firewall to protect the Win98 machines
because I'm getting a DSL installation in the next few weeks. I would
suggest you use the Linux box for your cable modem connection. Much more
secure.

Date: Sun, 4 Jul 1999 12:28:49 -0400
I have a two LANs: A=192.168.1.0/24 and B=192.168.32.0/24. Linux host
"lynx" has two ethernet cards. eth1 is 192.168.1.5 and eth0 is at
192.168.32.3. There are several other hosts on the A and one other on B.One
of the "hosts" on A is a 3com LAN modem at 192.168.1.1 another is a WninNT
box at 192.168.1.2. The other host on B "panther" is also running Redhat
6.0. Panther's ethernet card is eth0 at 192.168.32.5
Routing is enabled on lynx (at least it claims to be when I boot). I have
done an echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward.
Here is lynx's route table:

telnet 192.168.32.3
ping 192.168.1.5
telnet 192.168.1.5
Here is the problesm:
A tracreroute from panther to 192.168.1.2 shows it trying to get through
lynx but gets stuck with * * *
ping 192.168.1.2 also fails
I have done a ipchains -F and the default policy is ACCEPT on input,
forward, and output. My eventual goal is to configure lynx for firewall and
masqarade but right now I am just trying to have it work as a router from
network B to network A.
I am sure I must be missing something very obvious. Help!

Exactly as win98. Setup your ethernet interface, configure it
in DHCP (we suppose your ISP run a DHCP server on his side)
and set the default route
route add default gw <the gateway>

That too. Easier would simply have a call system that monitors the modem
for certain ring patterns. Something like if a 3 ring pattern is followed
by a 2 ring pattern with each pattern between 30 and 60 seconds apart, then
that's the signal for PPP to pick up and dial.
mgetty already has this feature and every modem can indicate rings. Therefore
it would require any special equipment to implement.

Too much work. I know how to build a box like that using a DTMF decoder and

A bit more than that. DTMF detection + voice played on demand. It's called

Mgetty can do the job with no extra equipment. Check it out.
