Subject: multiple dialup routing
Date: Sat, 17 Jul 1999 23:17:39 GMT
i have a linux box running masquerading for a few win98 PCs with a dialup to
the net... i have 2 modems and 2 lines and 2 ISP accounts, but the isp
doesn't support MPPP
now if i can get them to bind that'd be great, but at this point i'd just be
happy to know how to split up the the connections either by:
a) "where" on the net is is (ie 1-126.0.0.0 go through ppp0 and 128-224 fo
through ppp1)
b) load balance based on activity (if ppp0 is too busy go to ppp1)
c) load balance based on protocol (http and telnet through ppp0 ftp etc
over ppp1)
i think (a) can be accomplished with some tricky routing but i can't figure
it out.... perhaps (c) with some ipchains protocol management stuff....
maybe
ideas/sugestions?
thanks =)

I'm sharing my cable modem Internet connection with 3 computers using IP
masquerade with kernel 2.2.3. I'm trying to set a speed limit to share
the bandwidth between the 3 computers equally. Is there a way to do
that? And would it be possible to have a lower limit for uploading to
the internet? (because my modem is slower for uploading than
downloading)

Why? All it has to do is reassemble the binary from the email and scan it,

Alex,
Do you have any proxies configured in your netscape? If so, you will
want to add 'localhost' to your 'no proxy' list...

well then tell your network card to go into half-duplex mode.....
unfortunately i can't remember the command for this... i think it varies
with the card... what kind is in the linux box? i know there are 3com utils
to do this.
incidentally..... i ran into a similar problems a while back (a few years)
running with intel and western-digital 8003 cards.... linux->linux with one
of each card was SLOW.. like 50k/sec transfers were really good..... only
inlinux.. if i ran the intel card in windows it was fine.... if i ran any
other cards with either card it was fine.... strange

Updating my report.... Removing the D-Link 9-port HUB, and using the BNC
port
instead of the UTP port, fixes the problem. Now all machines are on a single
coax bus. Communications is fine. When a HUB is inserted into the equation,
where as 8 UTP ports can be tapped into the coax net with the ninth-port
being
a BNC, Linux has trouble talking to Linux, but talks with WIN98 machine on
the
same network. ???? Pretty Weird?
While I have a work around, I think there is a problem here that needs to be
addressed. My guess is something like the network card is starting in
full-duplex mode, since it thinks it's on a hub, but since the hub
effectively places it onto a coax thin-net circuit, collisions occur.

July 17, 1999
The Mediaone Problem...and DHCP
After reading the HOWTO on getting the Etherlink III (pnp) card to work
under Linux (turn off pnp)
with a 3Com utility program. I thought that since I had Mediaone
running in my Windows 95 and my
OS2 partition, it might be easier to find another (not disabling pnp)
way to make my 3Com 509B card work under Linux.
If I recall correctly, there was talk about an RPM, or was it a kernel
source, that allowed for ISA pnp cards
to work under Linux.
I am running SuSE 6.1 (2.2.5 kernel) and I LOVE SuSE. I bought an
ISA card instead of a PCI card
because I thought an ISA card might have more chance of being recognized
(after some fix) than a
PCI card.
I really don't want to turn off the pnp on my ISA card to get it to
work under SuSE Linux 6.1...
are there other options???

what's wrong with adding:

to lilo.conf? (if this is a second ethernet card)
if it;s the first ethernet card, why is this even an issue? shouldn't it
get detected on boot? or does modprobe need that much specific info?

I have a small network made up of a server running SuSE 6.1 and a
workstation running Win98. The server provides internet access through
ipchains. I am trying to play a multiplayer game(MechCommander)which
utilizes ports 8000-8999. However I am unable to connect to the service
(mplayer.com).
I have tried manually setting ipchains and also tried using gfcc and
kfirewall to no avail.
How can I find out if my server is blocking these ports and how should I
go about "opening them up.
Thanks for any help at all.

: No, the cable modem doesn't care what the MAC address is. At least
: the Motorola CyberSurfer I have doesn't. In fact, TCI@home will make
: additional IP addresses (up to 2) for $5/month each.
That's close to being a non-sequitur. The fact that you can buy
additional IP addresses does not establish that the IP<-->MAC mapping
isn't made at modem reset time.
I was told by the installers that the mapping was established at reset
time, and is not updated until another reset. And indeed it has proven
true: if I change the NIC by which I access the net, I must reset my
modem.
If you buy additional IP addresses, it's entirely plausible that the
modem will hold multiple mappings but only capture them once per reset.
It's also plausible that it will autorecognize a change in MAC for a
given IP, given a DHCP transaction to that effect. But then, I'm
running with a static IP address.
