Subject: Linux networking feasibility question
Date: Fri, 9 Jul 1999 11:50:08 -0400
I would like to setup a network with a central compute/file server running
Linux with a Windows emulator, like Wine, running on top of it. The client
PCs attached to the server would be "dumb" terminals. Each terminal would
basically run and access Windows applications from the remote server.
Does anyone here have any ideas on how feasible this would be? Specifically
I'd like to get a sense of how hard it would be to implement, how cost
effective it would be, and how hard would it be to maintain.
Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, in advance.

Date: Fri, 9 Jul 1999 09:02:03 -0700
I am new to web managing and I am looking for a way to set up a database
accessed web page. That is, we want to have a web page that uses a database
that can be changed by the user so that we can use it to keep a log of
patches installed on servers and the like.
Has someone had experience in this area?

======================= FREE PROXY SERVERS ====================
EasyProxy (Leech Software, EasyProxyServer.zip, 16KB)
http://www.leechsoftware.com/easy_proxy/
Proxy Server, multithreaded engine provides fast access to dozens of LAN
users. Share your dialup connection with the rest of the network.
Perfect for small offices and homes with networks. Configure your
clients to use proxy support and simply launch the server. No setup
needed, it's easy.
Freeware HTTP Proxy Server.
EDGE Router (Fire PlugComputers Inc, edge07.zip, 17.4MB)
http://edge.fireplug.net/download/files/
Use the EDGE Project firewall to create a fully Internet connected LAN
for your home or small business (or large business if you are really
frugal). The Edge Firewall Router uses the ThinLinux building blocks to
implement a simple edge router suitable for routing small networks via a
low speed connection. E.g. dial, ISDN, cable or ADSL. Free.
Internet Extender (inet_ext.zip, 430KB)
http://www-acc.scu.edu/~jsarich/ieweb/main.htm
The Internet Extender is designed to function on a multi-homed machine
connecting a local area network to the Internet. The local machines
function as though they were directly connected to the Internet. They
only need to know the IP address of the local side of the Internet
Extender, which acts as their gateway address. The Internet Extender
takes care of all the rest. It has been tested and verified to support:
HTML, FTP (pasv mode), TELNET, Real Audio/Video, IRC, MIRC, ICQ, ICMP,
and other TCP and UDP related technologies. Free
Internet Gate (Marco Maccaferri Software Development, igwin144.zip,
408KB) http://www.maccasoft.com/igate/index.html
A multiple proxy gate and firewall. It can allow users on a Local Area
Network (LAN) without Internet access to access the Internet through a
single machine on the LAN connected to the Internet, either via a
dial-up modem / ISDN connection or another ethernet card.
Personal (1 User) Free
NetProxy Lite (Grok Developments, np303.exe, 2,759KB)
http://www.grok.co.uk/netproxy/
A secure, reliable and cost-effective way to provide simultaneous
Internet access to multiple network users with only one Internet
connection of almost any type (a dialup modem account, ISDN,
cable-modem, leased-line, etc.). Support for many protocols including

Telnet, SMTP & POP3, SOCKS and port mapping. Includes full access
logging functionality, dial-on-demand, and a powerful configurable
firewall.
NetProxy is distributed as "try before you buy" shareware. This means
that you can download a fully functioning 30-day evaluation version now.
After the evaluation period has expired, NetProxy will continue to run
with support for one user at a time - you can carry on using it in this
mode completely free of charge!
Nproxy ( , nproxy.exe, 749KB) http://tucows.tierranet.com/share95.html
NProxy provides direct proxy access to a remote host via a local LAN
with a single modem. The entire idea of being forced to specify the
remote host, provides a high amount of efficiency that normal re-direct
proxy's fail with. Provides wingate and memory cache security.
Freeware.
Proxy+ (Fortech Ltd., pplus210_66us.exe, 500KB) http://www.proxyplus.cz/
128K Firewall, proxy and mail server gives the complete solution of

As Microsoft and Netscape have the commercial market pretty well locked
up, I'll continue to enhance and distribute the Sambar Server for free
until a new venture sweeps me off.
SOCKServ (Phil Fong GeoCities, sockserv.zip, 160KB)
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Heights/2517/sockserv.htm
Freeware - free for non-commercial use! Number of connections is only
limited by memory or other stuff! The practical limit is 64 or the
winsock limit whichever is lower. Can pass requests to other SOCKS
servers! - Check the "Chain to other SOCKS" box to do this. Can log all
data that passes through it! - Check the "log" box. Can limit sending
and receiving bandwidth usage separately. The limit can be toggled on
and off without stopping the server. Requires Bind95/NY, Freeware, from
http://www.winfiles.com/apps/nt/servers-misc.html. Bind95/NT is based
on the UNIX code but it is a fully functional 32bit DNS server. (Domain

SpoonProxy (Pi-Soft Consulting, sproxy16.exe, 510KB)
http://www.pi-soft.com/
Enables every machine on your network to access internet resources
through one internet connection thereby saving you tons of money in
telephone and ISP costs. It runs in a small amount of memory (you will
hardly know it's running), yet it is an industrial-strength proxy server
that is incredibly easy to set up, is fully customizable, and has
excellent online help. The shareware version is fully functional
indefinitely (no expire for basic proxy operations), limited only by the
number of simultaneous connections it allows. So for a small home
network, SpoonProxy is basically free. Supports HTTP, FTP, POP3, SMTP,
SOCKS4 and 5, incoming and outgoing IP restriction, auto-dial on demand
and a port mapping wizard for easy configuration. SpoonProxy is
fully-functional in this trial version and will not expire. However, it
is limited to one user connection at a time until registration and
SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 support will stop working after 30 days. So, for a
small two machine home network, SpoonProxy is basically free.
VSOCKS Light (Paul Smith Computer Services, vsock013.zip, 333KB)
http://www.pscs.co.uk/software/vsockslight.html
A simple, FREE proxy server to allow you to connect UNLIMITED users on
your LAN to the Internet through a single modem-equipped PC. Now anyone
on your LAN can 'surf the net', or download files or read Usenet through
a single Internet connection. VSOCKS Light implements a subset of the
SOCKS 4 proxy protocol. This protocol can be used to proxy any TCP/IP
protocol including HTTP, FTP, TELNET and NNTP (Usenet). Common web
browsers already support the SOCKS protocol, other software that doesn't
support SOCKS itself can still be used via a SOCKS proxy by using free
third party software .
This software is totally Free and works for Unlimited concurrent users.
WinGate (Deerfield.com, wg21d95.exe, 1,676KB)
http://nz.com/webnz/qbik/wingate/download.htm
Allows multiple users simultaneous access to the Internet with only one
connection of nearly any type (modem, ISDN, leased line, etc.). WinGate
runs on a single Windows 95 or NT computer, which does not have to be
"dedicated" to the task. WinGate 2.1 can share a single Internet
connection with nearly any computer running TCP/IP - and shares access
with such popular applications as Netscape Navigator, MS Internet
Explorer, Eudora, Netscape Mail, popular telnet and FTP programs, and
many, many more.
Free for one PC on a LAN.
WinNAT Lite (iVasion, WinNAT%20Lite.exe, 8,841KB)
http://www.ivasion.com/
WinNat™ Lite enables two computers to have high performance access
to the Internet through a shared Internet connection! WinNAT Lite
eliminates the added expense and inconvenience of installing a second
home line, modem or ISP account. WinNAT Lite operates via a
modem-equipped Windows 95, 98, or NT™ computer, and provides
Internet access to two networked computers. FREE 2-user version.
WinProxy Demo (Lan-Projekt, wp14us.exe, 248KB) http://www.winproxy.net/
A proxy server and firewall with integrated mail server for Win95/NT.
Lately the product received "THE BEST OF LANTIMES" AWARD from the LAN

will protect your data and the mailserver will distribute all your
e-mail. WinProxy supports HTTP, FTP, GOPHER, SSL /HTTPS/, Telnet, NNTP,
SMTP, POP3, Real Audio, Mapped Links and SOCKS protocols. It also
features shared cache, dial-on-demand, user/group management, URL
restricting, logging, proxy cascading support and more. This update also
works with Microsoft RRAS SteelHead. For MS Windows NT 4.0, we recommend
to install Service Pack 3 and MS RRAS SteelHead if used on MS Windows NT
4.0 Server.
Free Demo version limitations: 1) two users only can be connected
simultaneously; 2) three users only can be created for e-mail purposes;
and 3) maximal size of the disk cache is limited to 1 MB.

Firstly you *have* to use ethertap as a module and not compile
it in to the kernel. Then you need to put the necessary magic
in /etc/modules.conf:
alias tap0 ethertap
options tap0 -o tap0 unit=0
alias tap1 ethertap
options tap1 -o tap1 unit=1
etc.

No. You may need to recompile the kernel to get very specialized software
to work, but it won't hurt anything if you don't. Installing RPM's for
instance, unless the instructions for installing the software say that you
must recompile your kernel with some option for this software to work, you
don't need to.

This fixed it. Thank you *very* much for your help. I was starting to

This is certainly feasible IN THEORY. In practice, I'd not recommend it
in most cases, for a couple of reasons:
1) Unless you have few clients or a very powerful computer, you'll swamp
Linux by running several instances of WINE and Windows programs. This
will be less of an issue of the programs are small (like Solitaire),
vs. big (like MS Office 2000).
2) In my experience, WINE is still pretty flaky. It's reliable at running
a number of trivial applications (like Solitaire), but it's not solid
enough to be running most of the "serious" applications I've tried.
A better approach might be to use a central Linux server for storing
binaries and data files, and actually run the Windows programs on remote
systems. Those systems will have to have adequate CPU and RAM, but this
approach will work much more smoothly than trying to run Windows programs
under WINE from several X terminals.

Subject: smbclient is slow in one direction only!
Date: Fri, 9 Jul 1999 15:53:47 -0000
I was wondering if anyone using smbclient is able to get a transfer
rate of more than about 10 KB/sec.
That's all I can get out of it when writing to a Win95 box. I can
read from it at about 3000 KB/sec.
Wierd huh?
FTP is not affected this way. FTP between the same two boxes runs at
respectable transfer rates (>2400 KB/sec) both ways. From this I
gather that I'm dealing with an smbclient problem.
I sure would appreciate it if someone could figure this out.
Details in case you're wondering:
Both PCs are "alone" on the same, isolated network (ethernet 100
mbps).
I have used a crossover cable before to no avail.
I used the TCP_NODELAY option on the smbclient command line (no
effect).
Thanks again!

I've gotten my win 95 box and Linux box talking, but I still haven't managed
to get Samba working. I can't see the Linux box in the network
neighborhood, though I can ping both ways and telnet/ftp
from the windows box. I assigned bogus IP addresses (consecutive)
with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 This didn't affect the dynamic
allocation used on the dialup adapter btw, this was applied in windoze only
to the NIC. No gateway settings or DNS used here either.

Subject: Firewall recommendations/advice - Would this work?
Date: Fri, 9 Jul 1999 10:33:46 -0700
Hello,
I'm currently running a linux 2.0 box doing IP_masq to allow the
internal network to access the internet. Everything works great, I have
30 people going through a 386sx/16. However, we are now adding a new
website that requires access to a MS SQL server running on NT. I want to
isolate the NT system as much as possible, but I have a number of
internal apps that also use the SQL server. So I've come up with the
following idea.
I define three networks, the internal network, the DMZ, and the internet.
The webserver (plus email server, etc) exist on the internet (on the
segment that is directly attached to the router). The SQL Server will go
in the DMZ.
In order for the web server to access the SQL server, I have a IP_Masq
box that denys all incoming connections (incoming from the internet)
except for those coming from the webserver over the SQL port. I allow it
to forward everything.
I set up another IP_Masq system that sits between the DMZ and the
internal network, and it lets anything through to the DMZ, and so to
either the SQL Server or the Internet.
So what I have is:
Internet ----- firewall #1 ----- DMZ ----- firewall #2 --- Internal
<- everything <- everything
-> only SQL port from IP -> nothing
First, does this sound like a good idea? Are there any holes in this type
of setup? Can anyone suggest any improvements.
If this looks good, would the systems on the internal network (win95/98
boxes) need to have any special network setup? I would think that making
the gateway the system between the internal network and the DMZ would
work.
Thanks for any help,
Erick Thompson

(using same driver) or something? Anyone that can help me out would be
great.
As well, I cant get my smbmount to work, the smbclient works ok, but the
smbmount goes to a smb:> prompt, there is no help (?,-?,-help,--help) I ran
threw tones of commands I can think of, ls,dir,get,put but with no avail,
the only one I could get to say anything is mount, and then I could not get
it to work.
I tried to install dhcpd, I get a error coming out of the make install,
can anyone offer some help to this?
And lastly, this relates to samba, if samba is running a wins server, do
you need to make the entries in the hosts file still? For example, if
machine "client1" connects to the samba wins server, do any entries need to
be made in the lmhosts file or the hosts file for the ping client1, or
smbclient \\client1 to work?
Wow that's a lot of questions!!!
I hope you can help me out, thanks

Nope. Britain/Canada/New Zealand/Australia didn't declare war with
Japan (and vice versa) until Pearl Harbor.
AFAICT Japan wasn't officially at war with hardly anyone before Pearl
Harbor.
Obviously, "officially at war" doesn't begin to tell the whole story.
