Hi Chris,
That was a great idea but I don't think that's it, at least in my case. If
I add the extra IP to the Windoze box instead of to Linux, then it works
fine. It's especially frustrating because Winblows seems to be doing a
better job with networking than Linux! I.e., say I have the following:
Scenario 1:
================
NT box: 209.178.112.9
Linux box:
eth0 209.178.112.10
eth0:0 209.178.112.8
*** Linux box has the alias; can't ping 209.178.112.8 from the outside
Scenario 2:
================
NT box:
- 209.178.112.9
- 209.178.112.8
Linux box:
eth0 209.178.112.10
All IP's work perfectly and pingable from anywhere.
Please don't tell me I'm going to have leave Linux in favour of MicroSloth
over this!@!!

Subject: Urgent diald problem
Date: Tue, 06 Jul 1999 22:37:18 -0400
I am trying to get diald to work on linux 2.2.9. I am using diald
v.99-1. The compile produced a significant number of warnings--mostly
about signed & unsigned data types. However, it did seem to work for a
while. However, it is to be used on a server, and I had to get
masquarading to work.
I now get the following error messages:
Jul 6 17:45:39 nameserver modprobe: can't locate module tap0
Jul 6 17:45:39 nameserver modprobe: can't locate module tap1
Jul 6 17:45:39 nameserver modprobe: can't locate module tap2
Jul 6 17:45:39 nameserver modprobe: can't locate module tap3

Jul 6 17:45:40 nameserver diald[905]: start sl0: SIOCSIFMETRIC:
Operation not supported
Jul 6 17:45:41 nameserver diald[905]: start sl0: SIOCADDRT: File exists
My guess is that it is looking for an ethertap as an interface. (This
was not compiled into the kerhel.) However, diald.conf includes the line
"device /dev/ttyS0"
In fact, diald.conf is merely a modified version of the sample
diald.conf.
As well, if I dial up using ppp-on, all systems on the network have
internet access through the server. So ipchains & masquerading work.
I am doing this as a freebee for a charity organization.
Can anyone help me?

You've received three replies so far that ignore your statement that this
is a "win-only" printer.
If you're correct in this assertion, your only hope of getting this
working is to set up some sort of interpreter on the Windows box in such
a way that the Windows box will accept PostScript, PCL, or some other
type of input and process that into the printer's native tongue. I know
that the Windows version of Ghostscript has an option to print via the
Windows printing system rather than directly to the printer, and if you
could get that set up to accept network printing requests, you might
stand a chance. I don't know if this is possible, though.
The printer compatibility database at
http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/pht/printer_list.cgi is often quite
helpful in determining whether a printer is Linux-compatible or not, but
the Brother HL-820 isn't listed there, so I can't check your statement
that yours is a Windows-only printer.

Hi, I have a network with all internet traffic going through my Red Hat 6.0
server which is connected to the internet via a DSL line. It has an
internet address of A.B.C.187, but when I ping A.B.C.160 or A.B.C.191, my
machine replies. I disconnected the server from the rest of my intranet
(although not from the internet) and pinged those two addresses and got a
reply. My question is, why in the world does my machine answer to those two
IP addresses?

Date: Tue, 06 Jul 1999 19:40:35 GMT
I've got a problem with a RH5.2 box. The /etc/conf.modules
contains the line:
alias eth0 pcnet32
That is supposed to load the module for my adapter at boot
time, no? Well, it doesn't. Can anyone suggest why this
should not work?
The way I understand it, the system init scripts should
cause the eth0 symbol to be referenced, and kerneld should
then load the module. Somehow, it seems this does not
happen. I can get around this with an ugly kludge - I
insert "alias pf-6 pcnet32", and this forces the module
in, but I'm not satisfied at all.
Thanks in advance for any insights,

In the networking somewhere you need to give it the IP address of your
gateway machine.
In Slackware, this is setup in the /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 file. I'm not
sure where this would be on Debian.

I must be missing something here. Why is samba needed for this?
I think Linux should be able to print directly to the print server
without Samba being involved. On the Windows side, you might need
to install the HP software that came with the print server.
I would think you would just setup a networked printer on the Windows
side using the print driver for your printer.
Anyhow, it seems to me that Samba does not need to be involved.

In general, the ISP's routers and mail server could care less what the From
header says. They just won't accept email from any systems not in their
address space. Since your connection is to them, the mail just goes through.

Subject: File Server Hardware

Hello,
I'm putting together a network for 10 users. I'm not sure what hardware
requirements I will need for the linux server that will serve this
network. I plan to run samba for serving files for two applications, a
contact manager (Goldmine) and an accounting package (currently Great
Plains Accounting, looking at UA Corporate Accounting). Also, I will
connect a printer, and plan to run an e-mail server and a web server for
the internet. At a later point I may move the web and/or e-mail server
over to another machine that will act as a router to a dialup network
connection (used mostly for e-mail). I'm guessing i don't need alot of
processing power, since i'm mostly just transfering files around, but
i'm not sure about how much i need. Any other general suggestions for
hardware in building a server would be appreciated, particularly lower
cost solutions that increase reliability and ease of getting back up if
something goes wrong.
Thanks,
Stephen Muench

If you do buy your own domain (usually from the InterNIC), you must specify two
nameserver addresses. For the primary one, you can specify your static IP.
Then you must run the 'named' daemon. The setup is pretty straight forward and
there are lots of man pages that can help with the specifics. Also, if you
don't want to run your own named server, there are some free hosting solutions,
like soa.granitecanyon.com. You still have to know how to set it up, but your
computer doesn't have to be 24/7.
I hope this helps.

P.S. If all you need is a subdomain or two, I give those away to most anyone.
