I believe what your looking for is a dynamic domain name. You can get for
for free from www.dhs.org or www.iz-ip.net, etc.
And no, neither 1 nor 2 will work...

Woah. You have gone waaaay too far. If you just want to masquerade
packets, you're almost there. I'll assume that since you can ping
between two boxes, you do have a working network. I'll also assume you
have re-compiled your kernel to include support for masquerading, if it
didn't have it already. Just add something like:
ipfwadm -F -p deny
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.1.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0
(assuming your gateway's ip address is 192.168.1.1 and your 98 box ip is
192.168.1.whatever) to your rc.local file, re-run rc.local, and you're in
business.
You don't need Samba at all for masquerading, but if you want it (and it
sounds like you're close) do the 98 registry hack and your 98 box should
see the linux box. Here are two great references:

Try 'killall -9 netscape-communicator'
Then try upgrading Netscape. I heard there was a problem in one of the
versions that was put in distributions. ;)

What error are you getting when you try running a new one? Try removing
~/.netscape/lock and see if that lets you run a new copy.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
My ISP right now has no one at the office. My boyfriend wants to be
capable of sending and recieving mail. I know Yahoo,hotmail and cnn
themselves will provide free email accounts.
The problem is. how can he SEND mail when my ISP does not recognize
him as he does not have an official email account with them. Sendmail is
set up to sendmail to the smart relay host of mail.ctol.net. I do know I
can modify his copy of the .getpop3rc file to get mail from say hotmail but
how can he set up the reply headers to point to his hotmail address and not
mail.ctol.net? I know how to do it in pine and slrn but what if he had to
use the standard mailx program?
I am only guessing that my IsP will reject any mail he sends.
Neither He or I have tried it yet. (they are not in the office right now.
They probally closed down due to the heat wave that is killing Connecticut.
If anyone knows what the outcome would be, I would appreciate it.

David:
Thank you for the reply.
Sorry, forgot to mention it is thinnet 10base2 cabling. I have tried 2
cables. I wonder about the terminators, but I don't have any others. I
used bnc-to-binding-post units I found in my bnc jar (I am a ham :) ) and
wired 47 ohm resistors across the binding posts. I think this is
reasonable, but I could be wrong.

Here's the story:
Recently installed RedHat 6 on an old machine which had previously been
running redhat 5.2 successfully on our LAN. The Machine has a AMD PC/NET
32 card in it, which was detected during the RH6.0 install. As far as I
can tell I have the IP addresses and netmask all set as well as
/etc/hosts.
All LAN wires are OK. Computer is not accessing the network. it can ping
itself but not any other machines. Ifconfig indicates "interruptions" on
eth0, and in the console at boot time I get "eth0: transmit timeout
status03f3" error messages. I'd be happy if anyone could help out. Thanks!

Subject: Home networking using phone lines
Date: Wed, 07 Jul 1999 01:30:52 GMT
Increasingly typical situation:
More than 1 PC at home. How to connect them, share resources,
peripherals, Internet connection, etc?
Most of the info out there deals with (old?) technology like network
cards, hubs, cables, etc.
Seems like using existing phone wiring of the house is the way to go.
Speed is a miserly 1 Mbps, but thats ok for most people.
The Home Phone Networking Alliance (www.homepna.org) seems to be a
balanced industry-wide effort to have some standards in this area.
To get to the point... what exactly do I need to keep in mind when I
build my system to accomodate for this kind of networking? Most products
out there (Intel's Anypoint www.intel.com/anypoint) seem to use either
the parallel port or a PCI slot to pop in a card on each PC in the
network. Also, AnyPoint seems kinda steep...is there a cheaper (read
free) solution out there that lets me connect PCs using phone wiring?
Well, if it involves hardware, I guess it has to be $$.
What about Linux? Is it at all possible to connect Linux-Linux or
Linux-Windows machines using existing phone wiring? Can a Linux box
print to a printer attached to a Windows machine? Can the Windows
machine access the Linux's Internet connection? Where can I get more
info, product reviews, etc?
Would appreciate a discussion from the experienced "home network" pros
out there.
Thanks,

Subject: X-Windows based firewall???
Date: Tue, 6 Jul 1999 20:58:06 -0500
I am trying to build my firewall, and have been unsuccessful using an
X-Window-less system. Manually dialling would *always* fail. So, today I
reinstalled Redhat 6.0 (kernel 2.2.5-15) on the firewall and gave it an
X-Windows interface. Now, I can dial out to my ISP and even pull in a www
site or two using Lynx. This brings me to my next questions, which I hope
you can give me some pointers on.
I know that my firewall needs to be able to dial to my ISP, but how do I
automate this with RH6 running X-Windows?
I know that my firewall needs to masquerade, but how do you set this up in
an X-Windows enviroment? (using Linuxconfig?)
I know that I need to apply filtering to my firewall, and plan to use
ipchains. I'm assuming at this point that ipchains will work fine in an
X-Windows enviroment. Any comments on this?
Has anybody attempted an using a firewall with an X-Windows interface? I had
thoughts about disabling the X-Windows interface (and trimming down the
installation of unneeded applications) after I get all of the "bells and
whistles" working on my firewall, so that security issues will be minimal.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance to all who answer/comment,
