Hello,
Can someone help me with my PPP problem? Here's what happens:
I set up PPP on Red Hat 5.2, I get on to my ISP once perfectly, and then
next
reboot/startup shutdown, i lose my PPP! It dials, but it drops the
connection right after the password validation, i've tried Red Hat's network
configurator, i've written scripts that use chat and pppd and i've even
tried XISP, but nothing works right.
can someone please help me?
thanks
Bill

I want to make a server public on the internet.
The ip-address is i.e. : 10.0.0.1 ( DMZ )
For the people of the outside world this machine should be reachable under

What flavor of linux are you using and kernel number? Whats the
physical config of your network? i.e. ethernet? thin net or twisted,
how many machines and thier OS's?

Well, the only explanation is that you are booting the wrong kernel, then.
cat /proc/version tells you when the kernel you are running was compiled.
Make sure you copy your new kernel to the place where you put your kernels
(probably /boot), update lilo.conf and run lilo.
Good luck

Subject: ip aliasing on linux
Date: 13 Jul 1999 21:28:50 GMT
Hi
I am trying to assigned an additional ip to the only network card
on my linux machine.
I tried the following:
ifconfig eth0:1 192.11.196.252 netmask 255.255.0.0 broadcast 192.11.255.255
and my current ip is 56.0.0.72 .
ip-alias is installed:
the /proc/modules shows:
ip_alias 1 3 (autoclean)
ifconfig shows:
eth0 Link encap:10Mbps Ethernet HWaddr 00:60:97:04:06:F6
inet addr:56.0.0.72 Bcast:56.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

UP BROADCAST RUNNING MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:1 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
but when I tried to ping it, there is no respond.
I have also tried to add an ip in the same network (56.0.0.73) and
get no reply from ping either.
What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks in advance.

Good there must be, free I don't know. Meanwhile, it may be
easier to install Samba on the (presumably Unix) server you want
and have Windows share those directories in the normal WIndows-ish
way.

Subject: rc.inet1 and two nic's
Date: Tue, 13 Jul 1999 22:26:58 +0200
Hello all ya linux ppl!
I've got two nic's in my slack 3.6 box. Both nic's are working and I can
see both networks, so what's the problem?
Well how do I add eth1 to rc.inet1 so that I won't loose my setup on
next reboot?
(I have to move the box soon :-))
And the bonus question. How do I setup the network so that when someone
asks for an ip on the other net, the request gets forwarded from eth0 to
eth1 and the otherway around?
I.e. 192.168.1.2 asks 192.168.1.3(eth0) for 192.168.0.2 then
192.168.0.3(eth1) should takeover the request to 192.168.0.2.

I have a problem with NFS. I can't execute any programs. I can read and
write just fine . my /etc/exports file options are (rw,no_root_squad)
and my /etc/fstab options are user,auto,rw. Also, I can telnet into the
server and execute any program on the same partition so the binaries are
working. BTW, both machines are pretty much stock RH6 machines. The
client does have an upgraded kernel (2.2.10) but that is the only
signicficant difference.

RH 6.0 could be worth the upgrade at some point anyway - but beware that ipfwadm
has changed its name to ipfwadm-wrapper! The configuration tools in 6.0 are pretty
cool and you can pick it up at Costco for about $30 (not the RH support version,
but it comes with some Linux books on the CD).

Since www service is "stateless" this number would be worthless. Maybe you
could write a script to check for differing IP addresses that have hit the

Apart from the fact that you seem to have the same IP address for
both eth0 and sl0 on your firewall, I also am not sure if you've
given the all-important
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
command anywhere. Stock RH 5.2 comes with this disabled, IIRC.
Good luck, and let us know if this works.

Has anyone succeeded in setting up Red Hat 6.0 on a 10BaseT network using
DHCP? The Workstation installation appears to go smoothly, finds my network
card, allows me to select DHCP, etc. When booting, "lo" and "eth0"
supposedly initialize properly, but I am unable to ping other machines on
the network. The light on the 10BaseT hub comes on briefly when "eth0"
initializes, but is off otherwise. Thoughts?
Thanks,

Hi,
My internet provider blocks all incomming connections to ports 1000 and

I need to make an NFS connection from a location on the internet to my PC.
How can i change my incomming connection NFS port to eg: 3333 or something
else above 1000 ?
And how can i specify on the connecting pc to mount using that specific
remote port i chose ?
Please reply if you know, it is very urgent.

But I *want* vj compression :) - I think that vj compression simply rips
the redundant headers off the packet, saving the modem from transmitting
stuff it doesn't need to send, not just compression. If you don't send it,
compression or otherwise, your modem can send the important things.
Thanks for the scoop on the kernel issue; also, I am baffled how/why/where
someone found the alias strings for the conf.modules. (Inquiring minds
