Date: Mon, 19 Jul 1999 17:05:20 +1000
Hi There,
I have a linux RH5.2 server as as internet firewall running ip masquerade
samba
and diald, this is all working fine with 2 win95 machines sharing the modem
on the server using dial on demand to my isp.
The problem I have is that diald wont disconnect the connection after I have
finished with the internet, I
have noticed that there is a constant flash of the rcd light on the modem.
So I looked into the packets that are being sent to my modem.
I used tcpdump to view the packet infomation and log it to a file.
here is a portion of the data.

As you can see it is coming from my isp acay.com.au, why is this happening
and how can it
be stopped, my diald program will not function and does not know when to
terminate the link if there are constant packets being transmitted to my
server. Is this a problem with my isp ? does anyone know what the packets
mean ? and is
it possible to filter them so diald will hang up the modem when i'm finished
with the link.
Yet another Question if thats ok,
When I then have to terminate diald with exec /etc/rc.d/init.d/diald stop of
just turn off the modem,
about 5 minutes after that diald starts to reconnect again, is this the way
it is supposed to work ?
Then I have to turn the modem off again !! and again it tries to dial when I
switch the modem back on !
The only way I can get it to listen without constantly dialing is by
uninstalling the rpm and then
reinstalling. All is fine untill I access the internet again and it wont
hang up, then I go through the same
problem again.
I know this is alot to take in but would anyone with more expirence at this
than me care to give me
some advice, I really want this to work !
Thanks Rick Ashton.
Thanks in Advance. Rick Ashton.

Wayne,
I'm still using RH 5.2 so the first question may not be relevant.
Instead of transplanting the CD-ROM drive, why didn't you just do an SMB
install over the network? Is this option no longer available in 6.0?
Did you install Samba? If you set up Window's networking properly, you
should be able to use "smbclient" to get the files from your Windows
machine.

Your hardware seems to be working fine. I suspect your
problem is most likely connected to routing. You have to
set a default route so that all the packets should go out of
your ethernet card ( i.e. eth0 ) This is not set automatically
because people ( like me) want to do much more complicated
stuff with multiple nic's and they want full flexibility.
If all you want to do is to be able to talk to your own subnet
( i.e. no sharing internet connections etc) then you can
easily set the default route in RedHat. ( you should have X working
for this )
type control panel in a terminal window. A control panel
will pop up ( you should be in X windows of course). Now press
the button that has a network like diagram ( there will also be
a balloon saying "network confg" or something if you hover over
that button), press that button. another window will pop up. There
will be a row of buttons on top of this window. Press the button
called "Routing" Press that. Now you should see the network routing
dialog. For "default gateway", enter your machines IP. For "default gateway
device", enter eth0. Press "save" and then Quit. Now you should be able
to do networking after a restart of networking services. You can reboot
to do that but that will be like Windows... and that's not right. So
what you do is this:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network stop
and then
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network start
Now you should be able to network to your hearts desire....
Chetan
PS.. all of the above has to be done as root of course.

Hello all!
I have a question that makes me sick! I setup dial-in server (remote access
server) based on Linux RedHat5.2, pppd 2.2.8, mgetty 1.1.20 and it works
very fine. But to make a dialup connection in Windowz i have to turn on
'Bring terminal window after connection is made' option. When terminal
window appears i have to enter usr/passwd at the proper prompt and after
then F7 to continue connection establishment with additional Windowz
authentication. So i have two enter usr/pwd twice. Do anyone knows how to
get rid of it? Is it possible to force only Windowz authentication without
terminal popup?
Thanx in advance, Kirill

Well, I got more responses that I expected....
Thanks to all who responeded...
I guess two thing come out of this.
1. Most of what I want to achieve can be done using Win95 client for
networks plus some samba related stuff
2. There is not at this moment a dedicated "client" for Linux.
I had hoped to avoid using the win95 client for networks. Oh well, out with

Subject: kppp setup solution!
Date: Mon, 19 Jul 1999 08:06:28 GMT
Hi all,
I think my 1st message wasn't quite clear.
I am suggesting a SOLUTION to a problem that many KDE users with
RedHat and Mandrake distributions WILL have during installation.
>From my experience with repeated fresh installs, I can only
get a PAP or CHAP ISP connection when I change the modem speed in kppp
at least ONCE. This works around a CONFIRMED bug which is going to be
fixed in the next KDE release.
My old message:
I had kppp dial-up setup proplems with kde in the Mandrake 6
distribution (which is based on RedHat 6).
The problem was that whatever I tried, the error message was:
the ppp daemon died unexpectedly
The current official solution to this setup problem which appears to
be caused by the distribution is:
Change the modem speed under the modem tab of the kppp setup once.
After the change, (I set it up from 57,000 to 115,000) you
can change it back to what you like.
Regards,
Bernie

Date: 19 Jul 1999 16:59:48 +0800
10Mbit/s is the higher signal transfer rate in the wire of IEEE 802.3
Ethernet standard, but there are many network protocol header
informations encapsulation the data. So you can never reach this maximum
theoretical transfer rate of 10Mbit/s in the application
layer/presentation layer of TCP/IP. So IMHO, 5xxKbyte/sec is a normal result.
Correct me if I was wrong.

Subject: SQUID and multible In-Out-IPs
Date: Mon, 19 Jul 1999 10:13:44 +0200
Hi all,
I have a big big problem with squid,
is it possible to run squid in the following configuration:
____
LAN1------| |
| | Internet-IP for LAN1
| |----------------------
| | Internet-IP for LAN2
LAN2------|____|
So, if a request comes from LAN1 (customer1) squid uses the official
IP-Adress for LAN1 and if the request comes from LAN2 (customer2) it
uses the second official IP-Adress.
A possible solution would be to run two different squid-daemons, but in
this case they wouldn't use the same cache.
Both customers would like to have a correct volume-accounting for which
they have to pay for.
I hope, anyone can help me..

Subject: are 4 nics practical?
Date: Sun, 18 Jul 1999 19:52:57 +0200
Ok, I have a home server with 2 nics (LAN, cable modem) and the whole
network is BNC. Now I want Fast Ethernet and I don't wanna buy some
expensive dual speed hub (the thing is, that 2 parts of the network have to
stay 10mbits)
Now I have one practical solution, which requires the least amount of new
cabling: the current server gets two additional nics and will become some
sort of router/hub. Now that this shouldn't be a problem on the software
side with Linux I suspect that this could decrease network speed drastically
on the hardware front. It's a Pentium 166, 64mb, Asus X-P55T2P4. The nics
would be: 10/RJ45/ISA for cable modem, 2 x 10/BNC/ISA for the 10 mbits parts
of the network and finally one 100 PCI nic for the new, fast part.
Is it possible to copy large amounts of data (let's say hundres of
megabytes) between these "subnets" without slowing everything down?
Thanks in advance

Nonsense. You can't have 2 default routes. Prior to bringing

then it should work.
