Hello,
First of all WINS (Windows Name Service) is used in Windows networks
exclusively, and you cannot use it for name resolution in Linux (or any OS
other then Windows).
DNS is used for name resolution in Unix/Linux/Mac world, and file that you
need to edit is /etc/resolv.conf, but you don't need to have any routes
setup specify to the DNS servers as you have in your example.
If you can include output of 'ifconfig -a', 'netstat -rn' commands and also
content of your /etc/resolv.conf file I may be able to help you further with
your issue.
As far as adding custom routes, you can do it via standard to you OS network
startup scripts or via adding them to /etc/rc.d/rc.local file.
Good luck!

For a free linux based firewall setup that can run on a small 486 with a
single floppy disk see:
http://edge.fireplug.net
You can either install it or just see how the firewall uses ipchains etc
to implement a masquerading firewall.

Hello Joel,
Can you tell us what your /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall file contains? Be sure you
have IPFORWARDING=YES setup, and that both nics are recognized at boot. Then
just setup your internal machines to use the ip of the second nic as the
default gateway. I have the same setup using 2.0.36 and a cable modem. Hope
this helps. If you have any questions send me an email.

uuhhhh yes it's true. But if you intend to use it you do need to compile the
module for it. Right now it's configured to load the network card module but
there is none present. As for lo - you probably disabled loopback interface
support when you configured the kernel. That is not a good idea. Many
applications need lo in order to work.

I am my own ISP and I handle all my own DNS and everything. Like I

Maybe someone can point me to a HOWTO regarding switching IPs and the

some configuration option that is somehow linked to my IP.

whenever you modify /etc/exports, you need to restart the nfs daemons. On
SuSE, you'd have to run
/sbin/init.d/nfsserver restart
RedHat places the scripts under /etc/rc.d/init.d. I'm not sure which one you
need to run, but it's not too hard to figure out.

I was hoping someone could explain a way for me to accomplish a fix to this problem. I
moved my redhat ide drive to another machine and it is now hdb instead of hda. Well
obviously fstab is trtying to mount the disk and it can not and it does allow me to
start
in single user mode but he root partiton gets mounted R/O and I can not modify the
fstab
file to reflect the disk change.
I imagine the fix is to create a boot disk (praying that is from image directory
becasue i
do not have another redhat system) and soem combination of commands at the boot prompt
to
mount the disk so I can change the fstab file. Any help would be appreciated.

Heh. I just remembered the ISP's IP address, and pinged it here from

CAN ping the DNS, so I'll try that when I get home...

Run 'ifconfig' to see if all your network settings are correct (check
the options). If there is a problem, then run 'netcfg' or 'netconfig' (I
forget which is the ncurses app) to correct the settings and reboot.
'linuxconf' is another approach. Of course, I am assuming your
distribution has these utilities. Sounds as though your network
configuration is amiss if X is now not working after you modified it.
Believe it or not, X reacts to incorrect network settings among other
things. Read about it at XFree86.org. Good luck!
As for the How-To, go here: http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP and head for the
"HOWTOs". I would suggest the Networking Overview, Ethernet, ISP Hookup,
NET-3 documents. Then hit the XFree86 documents. ;-)

I thought of doing this, but I was concerned of: my web server being used
to break into the SQL server. If the web server was broken (possible with
all those scripts, etc), there is a change that the SQL could system
fall. I figured that this could happen (remote chance, but possible) as
the SQL server can get packets from the web server, leaving the way for
buffer overruns, etc.
This is bad, but what is worse is that the SQL system would have full
access on the internal network. So from here, it's a fairly simple matter
to get to the fileserver, people who turn shares on, etc.
My reasoning on the three network system is that there is no way for
anything to come from the DMZ into the internal network. Doesn't matter
where it comes from, everything is rejected at the second firewall. That
way, if I lose the database, at least the file server is still protected.
I may be paranoid, but I figure why take the chance.

DeMilitarized Zone - it's the no-man's land between north and south
Korea. I've heard it used in network terms quite a bit as a network
segment that is protected, but not locked up.

Thanks folks,
I saw all your messages after I've got success in making my ppp work.
I was using kppp, which had an option "dynamic IP address". I am not sure
what pppd arguments are passed by kppp when I select the "dyanamic IP
address".
Yesterday, I looked at all the arguments of pppd. I played safe by not
believing kppp to pass these arguments and added the additional pppd
arguments "noipdefault" "defaultroute" "netmask 255.255.240.0". Bingo, it
worked. My ppp is up and running.
I had little time to check if it works consistently.
