If you are running MS-Proxy server 2.0 on NT, then you can look at SOCKS
proxy (it's part of MSP 2.0).
There is a chapter in MS-Proxy docs on how to configure SOCKS clients.
Good luck!

You should be able to use ifconfig ppp0 command even if not logged in as
root. The only trick is to use full path of ifconfig command
(/sbin/ifconfig).
Good luck!

Here's what I did to get RH6.0-out-of-the-box to work with DHCP. During
install, I indicated that I had a network and to fetch an IP address via
DHCP. Worked fine except that `dnsdomainname' would return an error. After
mucking around a bit, I did the following:
0) Used linuxconf to set my FQDN (full qualified domain name)
1) ran /sbin/dhcpcd -D
This reconfigured eth0 with a *new* IP address and set some DNS server
values in /etc/resolv.conf
2) Made a copy of /etc/resolv.conf
...because the next step will remove the DHCPCD version
3) Killed DHCPCD with /sbin/dhcpcd -k
4) Replaced the saved copy of /etc/resolv.conf
Now, everything works just fine. In a previous life/install, I placed dhcpcd in
an `rc' script. However, this always seemd to give me an IP address different
than what was found in DNS. Since eth0 always had a valid IP address at boot, I
surmised that something was not quite right with my use of /sbin/dhcpcd. Anyone
else with some hints/tips here?

You can do it with route command and setup a default route to new Linux box
(man route), also you can modify network startup scripts to setup a defualt
gateway during system startup (I'm not sure where those files are in
Debian).
Good luck!

If you look in the Linux IPX how-to file(/usr/docs/howto ?) there is some info on
connecting to a Netware Server. I also have a RedHet 5.2 machine and have it
connected to my NW4.11 server. AFAIK, there is no NDS aware client for RedHat 5.2
(Caldera makes on that works with RedHat 5.1), but if you are willing to use a
bindery connection it will work.

The problematic part is that you need a recompiled /bin/login version
to get it using /etc/shadow instead of /etc/passwd, and possibly a
password file converter. The shadow password suite comes with all
the needed tools to do that, but if your distribution hasn't been
designed around shadow passwords, then it's up to you to find out all the
programs that need to access /etc/shadow (not that many, but the ftpd
client is amongst them, as is the XFree login program and its screen
saver) .

My @home connection worked fine after the first try. Can't speak to the
rr issues, but the main trick seems to naming the host and domain
correctly.
I did it on the initial install, so I can't speak to linuxconf

Subject: Private network, 1 machine all RX packets "error" status as reported by
ifconfig
Date: 6 Jul 1999 16:23:14 GMT
Greetings:
I am new to setting up a network and can't get my 2 machines connected.
Or more precisely, I had connectivity at one point while playing, but
I can't get it back now that I am trying to formally set up the system.
Basically, the two machines are exchanging packets, but on one of them,
all received packets are "error" status as reported by ifconfig.
In desperation suspecting a hardware failure, I swapped ethernet cards
between the 2 machines, but no difference was noted.
I am using 3c503 cards.
The test noted below was done as follows:
boot both machines
On each machine, ifconfig >> aFile
On each machine route >> aFile
ping 192.168.0.1 (from 192.168.0.2)
On each machine, ifconfig >> aFile
ping 192.168.0.2 (from 192.168.0.1)
On each machine, ifconfig >> aFile
Combine and edit the files as done below.
Any ideas as to my catastrophic blunder? Is there any information in
my report that is missing?
All help greatly appreciated.
Jonathan

Date: Tue, 06 Jul 1999 12:30:38 -0300
Hi...
Last resort - I've read Kppp docs, how-to's, etc. I have an internal
Robotics 33.6 modem which works with everything but Kppp (Windoze,
pppd, minicom etc).
* when in modem setup, executing query modem, the modem replies
to each ATI command either with I's, or with 1 2 3 4... to each
ATI 1 ATI 2 etc, varying a bit with the post/preinit delays.
* when in terminal mode, a single A appears on the screen (left
over from ATZ?) though not always - Kppp says the modem can't
be initialized.
* with minicom the modem behaves quite normal and can dial, etc.
* I've tried with and without locking, tried with /dev/modem
(correctly linked) and with /dev/ttyS3. No, the IRQs are NOT
in conflict.
* I had a pppd script a time ago, and it worked too.
* CD doesn't work, though I would suspect the Robotics should be
able to activate it.
Now where's my problem with Kppp?
Thanks in advance.

Maybe you guys should let go of your knee-jerk prejudices WRT the
intelligence and attitudes of U.S. posters, and try to think more
carefully about what you read before reacting to it.
Quite obviously the original comment meant that it wasn't a _world_
war until the U.S. declared war on Japan and Germany declared war on the
U.S. Before that, it was mainly a European war.

Would reversing the ends of your cable be a useful diagnostic? You know:
take the end connected to NT and hook it instead the the Linux box and
vice-versa. If the Linux box was then able to receive only, it would mean
the cable was bad.

ratz,
Thanks, for the help I got it working finally. I stuffed a new PCI ne2000
NIC in it and started pinging the gateway then I unplugged my cable modem
for 30 seconds and plugged it back in. It took a while but it reset and
poof !! I was up and running.
-Tony
P.S. I do have other questions if you feel like helping a newbie to Linux,
respond by e-mail thanks.

I have the problem that when I close a ppp connections and restart it, it
comes up as ppp1 then ppp2 etc. Why? I don't see any reason.
I don't have any access to the Internet anymore then.
I appreciate your help
James

Check /etc/inetd.conf. It that's okay, then check out /etc/hosts.deny.
