I went to the /etc/rc.d/init.d and ran "./portmap stop" "./nfs stop"
and restarted with "./portmap start" and "./nfs start"
that should restart the services, right?

It's possible, but much will depend on your ISP. Most likely though
you'll not get much cooperation from your ISP with regard to them
delegating reverse lookups (IP to name translations) to you for your IPs.

This question really doesn't pertain that much to Linux in particular. A

Subject: help: Rehat 6.0 Firewall Setup
I am having trouble setting up a firewall under RH 6.0 Linux.
I am start to go nuts with this. I have read a few how-tos and the O'Reilly
TCP/IP and Firewalls books, but I cannot figure it out.
Here is my state.
Internet <---> ROUTER <---> FIREWALL <---> HOST
>From a host behind the firewall:
I can ping the firewall, but no host on other side.
>From the firewall:
I can ping hosts that are on the internet.
I cannot ping the host behind the fireall
When I do a traceroute to the host behind the firewall, I get a message
stating that "Multiple interfaces found ; using (hostname of the computer I
trace from) eth0" then it routes out over the internet.
Ideas:
Am I missing something?
I think that my routing table is set up correctly. It looks just like the
examples. I cannot figure out why it goes out over the net, and not to the
machine
I am at the state of just trying to get everything to route correctly, so do
I need to set up ipfwadm or something to get it to work?
Thank you in advance,
Chris

You have a funny definition of invented. It looks more like a

The only thing that coax has over utp is that it can go alot further.
utp = 100m
coax =180m

I'm sorry, I don't understand why this must be so. As long as I'm not
using a filesystem that I need to be present at boot time (I want to
mount /home from my main machine), I should be able to use a kernel
module and not have NFS compiled into the kernel.

I don't know about Linux, but on normal UNIX you have to issue
"exportfs -a" to re-read the /etc/exports file. Otherwise your changes
aren't activated.

If your going to use Netscape you had better keep your swap space. I
recently got a new hard drive and while I was taking it for a test drive
I didn't have the drive with the swap on it connected. When ever I got
on the web Netscape would start out o.k. but would go continuously
slower until it just quit. If I run top I see that while using Netscape
I am using 144k of the swap, I have 64 MB of RAM and a 128 MB swap
partition.

The DSU/CSU is required for a T1. Some routers have builtin DSU/CSUs.
One alternative is to have the telephone company provide the DSU/CSU, and
that is a whole lot better when there is a problem. AT&T will be providing

Date: Thu, 08 Jul 1999 07:06:16 GMT
Ok, I'm a newbie and maybe in over my head here. I've got a home network
with a linux box (192.168.0.10) and my wife's win95 box (192.168.0.11).
No problem here. This hub is then connected to a router which is connected
to an ISDN/TA/DSU. This TA/DSU just emulates a modem. Before the network
I simple used it as a modem to dial my IP. My question: what do I need to
do to dial up my ISP from the Linux box and have it where both computers can
be connected to that ISP? I'm reading the router manual in Japanese and
it's hard!!! It looks like the router's IP address is 192.168.0.1. Do I set
that up as the default gateway on the Linux box? I'm lost. Please get me
going in the right direction. I'm not afraid to readthe how-to's, but I'm
not sure which ones I need to read at this point. Thanks for any help.
