Have you looked at squid? the proxy server.
In general you need 2 NICs.
One connected to the net (the dirty card).
One connected to your network (the clean card).
I think as well that you need to disable IP forwarding.

Subject: Possible to supply proxy server IP via DHCP?
Date: Wed, 7 Jul 1999 14:54:57 +0200
Is it possible to give win95/NT workstation clients a default proxy server
to their web browser??
I have noticed that NT has a "NetBIOS Resolution Uses DNS" option which can
be enabled via TCP/IP properties, but as I use DHCP to configure TCP/IP
configuration it would REALLY be preferable if DHCP could supply this
information too! Has win95 the same option somewhere? Or is it only NT?
NETBIOS traffic is quite annoying because of all the broadcasts, so if the
clients could use DNS to resolve NETBIOS names, it should lower the traffic.
Please send me an email with any suggestions: [EMAIL PROTECTED] as I do not
read the newsgroup very often.
Greetings
Christian Rasmussen

Sorry, I didn't read carefully. There was a post awhile back that said
proxy arp for subnets was dropped for the 2.2.x series. The Changes
file doesn't support that assertion but it apparently it's so.
My programming skills are low-level so I can't help with modifying the
code to get it back.

I'm having a very similar problem.
I have a linux box with a modem and ethernet card, which I want to act
as a router for the private network on the ethernet.
I've got PPP working fine, - I can get onto the net from linux.
Ethernet is also fine, I can telnet to the linux box from the internal
network.
I think my problem is in the routing table.
>From the linux router (to-be)

I'm using the following
ipfwadm -F -p deny
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.1.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0
This ipfwadm setup worked before I reinstalled linux, and has worked
once on this current install. For some reason now though, it just won't
work.
Any ideas?

Subject: Kernel 2.2.x, ifconfig, and bootpc
Date: Wed, 07 Jul 1999 13:09:02 GMT
I've built kernel 2.2.7 on a machine that uses bootp to get its ip
address and hostname. During startup, just before sending the boootp
request, the startup script /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup tries to
execute the following lines:
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 broadcast 255.255.255.255 netmask 0.0.0.0
The first line works and the second line fails with the response:
SIOCSIFBRDADDR: Cannot assign requested address
SIOCSIFNETMASK: Cannot assign requested address
The result is that eth0 becomes unrecognized. This same startup script
worked fine under kernel 2.0.34.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Subject: Q: Multiple IP addresses and (Static) NAT?
Date: Wed, 07 Jul 1999 01:17:32 +0100
I'm trying to connect two networks via a Linux firewall. On one side
(Net B) all incoming connections require individual IP addresses within
a particular range.
Something like:
PC's In the range 10.1.2.10 to 10.1.2.20 (Net A)
(Net A connects to a Firewall side 1)
Firewall: side 1 (10.1.2.254)------(192.168.1.254) side 2
(Firewall connects to Net B)
Server on a corporate network 140.2.200.100 (Net B)
With the router purely forwarding I can connect to the server and
�finger� shows that I have connected from 10.1.2.10 (or whatever).
However as Net A uses the same class A address as is also used on Net B,
the router is required to translate all Net A addresses to the range
192.168.1.1 to .253
Unfortunately masquerading to a single IP address, does not offer a
solution, as security on the server necessitates each incoming
connection has a unique IP address. Hence PC�s 10.1.2.10 to 20 need to
appear as 192.168.1.10 to 20 (i.e. converting the first three octects).
By searching, reading FAQ�s and loads of info, the answer appears to be
static NAT tables. Unfortunately there seems to be little practical
examples.
As some of the information refers to �ipchains� & �ip�, I have upgraded
the kernel to 2.2.10.
Could anyone suggest further reading perhaps a HOWTO? Or could anyone
who has built a Static NAT router tell me what commands they have used
to setup the tables?
TIA
Chris

Compiled Java would have extra overheads relative to C++,
due mostly to the absense of a delete operator. You have to either:
1) Generate extra code for each object access to support reference counti=
ng
and then delete unreferenced objects on context exit.
or
2) Mark & sweep or some other global garbage collect operation, which tak=
es
a relatively large time to execute, and has to be scheduled into the
execution path at pretty regular intervals.
Method 1 causes a uniform slowdown in speed, due to the extra code
each reference variable requires when written to, and also leaves objects
in the top level hanging around, whereas method 2 causes those annoying
pauses that JVM's used to be prone to whilst the global garbage collect i=

performed.

Strangly hidden in your sig, your last comment is right - to an extent, b=

the garbage collectors are still going to hammer performance no matter
how clever they are, it's just a matter of how they do it....
I spent several months writing a JVM for TwoWayTV/Cable&Wireless
(embedded system application), so I've spent a shit load of time looking
at the garbage collector issue.

Make that "UTP *crossover* cable or adapter" to connect 2 PCs without a
hub in between. I agree with you 100%, those "network-in-a-box"
hub/2NICs/cable solutions are mighty attractive for price & performance
reasons.

If you haven't already obtained it, get the latest Tulip.c driver:

Follow the directions at the tail of the file for compiling. Place the
object in your module directory and you should be set. I had the same

Which message to reply to?
Try hardware & cables.
To eliminate the hardware go back to the DOS utils & run the group
tests.
The tests work well if you use co-ax.
Test 1 - put a terminator on the back of the card.
Test 2 - T-piece with 2 terminators on back of card.
Test 3 - Echo server. Need to run a cable between 2 systems & run the
echo server test. 1 sys as an echo server & 1 listening.
With twisted pair cabling you'll be stuck with the echo server test. 2
systems & 1 hub only. A null cable if you have it (not tested that).
I had one up & die on me. It failed group 1 tests. Not nice of it.
I'll assume that the settings you pick don't clash with any other
hardware.

- make bzImage for a larger kernel
- do a 'make menuconfig' and put a '?' in every field you want to change,
first. They make sensible recommendations.
- use modules
- once you have compiled your kernel and copied it to it's destination YOU MUST
RUN lilo AGAIN.
There is more to it all than this but Slackware should have provided some
documention.

I have a dell 266 laptop and have it on the nt network ( i can get to
the internet and ping other pcs.) What (and how) would be the best way
to be able to use the servers resources for file and print sharing.
Thanks for any assistance, or suggestions,

Subject: PLIP Problems
Date: Wed, 07 Jul 1999 18:31:38 +0200
Hi,
I'm trying to get PLIP running on 2 slackware 3.6 boxes. It runs
perfectly on box A ( kernel 2.0.35),
but refuses to work on B (2.2.7). Besides the kernels, the software
configuration is the same. Both of the boxes use a ECP parport, each
0x378, irq 7 (told to the kernel via LILO). On A, the plip0 device is
created like it should, but B refuses to do so. The relevant dmesg info
from B:
parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [SPP,ECP,ECPPS2] (like on
the working box)
parport0: unable to get hardware to register
plip0. (NOT like on the working box)
plip: no devices registered
I tried both compiling PLIP into the kernel, and modularizing it. Both
had the same effect.
Can anyone give me any hints or info?
Thanks in advance,
Jef Van den broeck
