In your host.conf file, I would add order hosts, bind instead of order
bind only.
hope it helps.

In order to get the best out of the 3c905b (for example, detecting it as a
100M card), I had to compile the most recent 3c59x.c module (v0.99Kb). As
the startup message says, it's available at
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/vortex.html
Version 0.99E, part of Redhat 5.2, did not work well for me, but once I used
the new driver everything was flawless.

There is also a PCI version of the Linksys card that uses the Winbond
N2K-compatible chip. I could NOT make this work with either the n2k or tulip
drivers.

Excuse me for my stupidity.
How do I use linuxconf to configure?

How do i ping the card? Using the loopback-device will not tell me

Here are two more ideas that I think are a little more foolproof:
1. Review your syslog. On my redhat system it is "/var/log/messages". At
startup, your kernel probably loads a module that communicates with the
card, and it usually gives you some information.
2. Use the command "ifconfig" with no parameters. It also prints info about
installed ethernet cards.

Subject: ipfwadm won't forward masqueraded packets thru I/O rules
Date: Mon, 12 Jul 1999 15:21:39 -0500
I hope someone can help me before I go crazy. I�m having trouble getting
ipfwadm to forward masqueraded packets from our internal network thru the
firewall input/output rules.
Specifically, I can use the following mini-firewall to telnet out from the
firewall machine, but telnet fails to connect from any other machine on our
network. The packets arrive on eth0 on the firewall machine, but never get
sent out on ppp0 (as illustrated by the tcpdump output below).
When I disable firewalling (ipfwadm �I/O �p accept), everything works fine
from any machine on the network, so I know it�s not a
hardware/wiring/NIC/routing issue.
Here�s the setup:
My firewall machine is running a more-or-less clean install of RedHat 5.2,
kernel 2.0.36. I�ve installed diald 0.16.5 for on-demand dialing for the ppp
connection to the internet. It also has an ethernet card for connection to
the internal network. This NIC is eth0 at IP address 192.168.2.1.
I have another linux machine running as a gateway/server. It uses the same
RedHat distribution. It runs SAMBA, Sendmail, DHCP, BIND, etc., and is our
main office server. It has two NICS: one configured as eth0 at IP address
192.168.2.2 for connection to the firewall machine, and the other configured
as eth1 at IP address 192.168.1.1 for connection to the rest of our LAN.
As you can probably tell, the idea is that the LAN traffic stays on net
192.168.1.0/24, and is routed to the firewall machine only when it needs to
get out to the internet. Network 192.168.2.0/24 consists only of the two
previously described machines joined by a cross-over cable.
As a side note: I�d sure like to know why I never see any deny/reject
messages on the log! Kinda makes debugging hard. . . .
Thanks in advance,

Subject: Problems With Routeing
Date: Tue, 13 Jul 1999 00:47:38 GMT
Ok. This is odd. Whenever i try to set my linux box up to route for
some odd reason it deletes both of my NIC interfaces! and it is no easy
task to put them back! i know how to add them but when i try all it does
is tell me that is is delaying the initialization of eth0 (or 1
whichever one it feels like screwing up). what i want to do is set the
linux box (that had a cable connection to the net) as a router with ip
masqerading. every time i attempt to do this (wheather it is on my own
or following some sort of instructions) as soon as i tell it to enable
routeing it deletes my interfaces! any ideas?

Subject: RH6 - no IP forwarding from 1 dialin line
Date: Tue, 13 Jul 1999 11:50:43 +1000
Here's the story:-
Using Red Hat 6 as a router/host:
dialin 1 ======> ----------------------
(internal ip range) | Linux server | =====> internal network
| |
dialin 2 ======> ---------------------- =====> internet
(live ip)
As you can see above (please excuse my lousy ascii art), there are 2 dialin
lines. Dialin 2 works fine, IP packets are nicely forwarded to the internet
link outside, with no problems at all.
Now onto the problem itself: Dialin 1 - you can dial into the linux server
using PPP. You can ping to each of the interfaces on the linux server from
the client dialing in. On the linux server you can ping the interfaces on
the client. But from the client, it cannot ping any other hosts on the
internal network.
Forwarding is enabled in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/.../forwarding =>1
The routing tables are intact - the linux server can ping the same hosts as
we're trying from the client.
Now the strange part... it USED to work with the old slackware 3.2 system,
but now installing the new RH6 the problem shows up.
Any ideas on where to look?
Thanks...

If there's absolutely no response from the script, maybe it needs
different permissions, or its location isn't included in your PATH.
If the script runs, but pppd or chat is failing, you could try posting the
log output (sans any password). Or Bill Unruh's "How to hook up PPP"
might help, if you haven't already found it -- at
http://axion.physics.ubc.ca/ppp-linux.html .
Good luck.

It is possible to accomplish what you want. The connection will be slow, but
it is feasible. I suggest not to install anything but the network software.
