I have seen Ethernet surge protection devices, mostly for RJ-45 jacks.
Some UPSes have this, for instance. There's surge protection for cable TV
inputs on some surge protectors, and it's conceivable you could adapt
these for your coaxial networking cable, but I've no idea if it would
interfere with the networking signals. You could also put up a ligtning
rod to PREVENT direct strikes against your networking cable. Finally, you
could disconnect your network connections whenever the weather seems
threatening. (This last is probably wise even if you take other
precautions.)

Try looking in the documentation for mgetty, there's some info on
configuring mgetty to run AUTOPPP. Here's an excerp from the
login.config on my machine, which works fine.
# Automatic PPP startup on receipt of LCP configure request (AutoPPP).
# mgetty has to be compiled with "-DAUTO_PPP" for this to work.
# Warning: Case is significant, AUTOPPP or autoppp won't work!
# Consult the "pppd" man page to find pppd options that work for you.
#
# NOTE: for *some* users, the "-detach" option has been necessary, for
# others, not at all. If your pppd doesn't die after hangup, try
it.
#
/AutoPPP/ - - /usr/sbin/pppd file /etc/ppp/options.server

There is insufficent information to reply with anything but a wild guess.
Post the chat -v log messages and the chat script(s). There is a
simple way in my signature to clip log messages and save them to a file.
The log messages and scripts should not be hand-copied.

It's very likely that the ISP didn't start PPP at it's end and instead is
presenting a prompt or menu. The chat script isn't doing it's job but it's
hard to tell what is actual and what is not from the hand-copy above. You
also need to find the `-v' part of the chat messages, look in the files
defined in /etc/syslog.conf for candidate files.
The one thing that sticks out and might cause the problem is CONNECT ""
which sends a carriage return that often confuses an ISP. Try replacing
it with CONNECT '\d\c' that introduces a one-second delay and doesn't
send a carriage return. "man chat" for details.
When posting logs or script you should post exact copies, hand copies are
to prone to error and leaving out essential details. See my signature
for a way to clip lines from a log file and save them in another file.

Subject: Periodic multicast traffic - why?
Date: Mon, 19 Jul 1999 15:41:16 GMT
Good day!
My ipchains-based firewall is receiving a multicast packet
every 10 minutes or so (it varies) which I'm currently
rejecting. I'm a TCI@Home cable modem user and the address
of the incoming packet looks like it's either an @Home machine
or another @Home users' machine.
The packet log looks like this:
Jul 19 08:25:06 <hostname> kernel: Packet log: input REJECT eth0
PROTO=24.7.204.1:9 224.0.0.1:0 L=68 S=0x00 I=47382 F=0x0000 T=255 (#19)
The reason I'm pretty sure the originating machine is part of
or at least inside @Home is the 24.7.x.x address; @Home users
and servers seem to be on 24.1.x.x thru 24.7.x.x from what I've
seen so far of other @Home users IP addresses. But I can't get
any information out of nslookup, it says it's a non-existent
host/domain.
Can anyone tell me if I should be allowing these packets, and if
I do, what I should be doing with them? And more importantly,
does anyone know why @Home might send out multicast packets so
regularly? I don't know how on earth my Windows machine where
the modem was originally configured could do anything with these
packets.
Thanks,
- Leo Butler

Yes, this is what I want to hear and will use the info from this thread to persuade my
boss that our LAN is secure (well we know we cant achieve 100% security) from the
outside world.
But , one thing I did not mention is that we are upgrading our LAN and putting in a
Cisco router
for our leased line to our other office. I cant remember the details , but I believe
the router has some
mechanism or additional "firewall" feature where we can configure which IP addresses
are allowed
thru' the router. This way, we can allow some laptop users access where we have
configured the laptops
with known 192.* IP addresses.

I agree that it is essential to have AV software running on the client machine. It
would be
easier to have set up on the client machines via a network drive (server e.g. samba)
which
I will look into. I am relatively new to configuring servers/clients for internet
access and
email as you can probably tell from my posts but need to learn fast and must make some
important decisions pretty soon e.g. users in our company receive many .doc files and
.exe
files most of which are just silly fun programs but I know that if the users are not
careful and
not educated about what they download, we may end up with a serious virus sooner or
later

Please help me to bring up again my eth0 card, which got somehow screwed
during "linuxconf".
I have an ADSL connection (I use DHCP) and while playing with linuxconf,
it just happened that the line was down (thanks, Bell Canada....). I got
an error message from linuxconf that the card cannot be properly
initialized and will be delayed.
It stays as such ever since.
There is no conflict whatsoever (it worked fine before), the only thing
is that I don't know where I should look for this "delayed
initialization" command (in which init file).
Thanks

Remember that, unless you've used setserial, your modem
will appear to be on a standard IRQ port even when it's
not (e.g., a modem at COM4 IRQ9 will appear to be at
COM4 IRQ3 until setserial tells the system otherwise).

Subject: Fast Ethernet hub recommendations?
Date: Mon, 19 Jul 1999 15:18:06 GMT
I have decided on the Kingston KNE110TX as my NIC. $27 seems to be the
going price.
Now for the hub: Can you guys recommend a good 5-port (4 port + 1
dedicated uplink/cascade port) 100BaseT hub?
Which manufacturer? Places to buy? Typical price?
Thanks,
Vikas

I have the same problem with kppp. I didn't have any conflict in my
config. To see wich IRQ is allowed to wich device just see the
/proc/interrupts file. All IRQ used is listed there. So you can easyly
see if there are any conflicts. Isapnp check to see if there are a
conflict before configure the device so if isapnp run without complain
you can trust you don't have conflict. I don't find yet a solution to
this issu.
another usefull files in /proc: ioport,dma.

This means that there is no PPP daemon running at the ISP or nothing at
all on the other end of the line. The chat script isn't providing the
right things for the ISP to connect and start PPP. One common problem
is a chat expect send like CONNECT '' which sends a carriage return
that confuses some ISPs. This can be avoided by using CONNECT '\d\c'
when the chat script is written as chat arguments or CONNECT \d\c
when the chat script is specified by the chat option -f .
Take a look at the chat messages using the chat -v option, they'll
usually give you a clue. They should be in one of the log files defined
in /etc/syslog.conf .

You never got to the stage where any of the pppd options make a difference.
And you don't want +pap or +chap anyway, they require the ISP to identify
itself to you and those that do are as rare as hen's teeth.

Hello:
I'm running ppp on my linux box and connect to my ISP just fine.
DNS is working, I can traceroute and ping by name or ip.
However, when I telnet, ftp, or use a browser my connection is cleared
and I get the next messages :
> IPCP terminated by peer.
> LCP terminated by peer.
> Connection terminated.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.
