Well first you get samba working the way you want it.
Then if you are using a 2.2.x kernel you need to get ipchains setup
(that is the replacement for ipfwadm) at that point, if you set it up
correctly all your clients can access the internet via the linuxserver

I believe that windows can't share drives on a simple TCP/IP
connection. Have you set up netbeui on both machines. Windows can
encapsulate netbeui inside a TCP packet so that it can run on an IP
network. However, and I don't know whether this counts or not, but I
also seem to remember that netbeui can't bridge across routers or
subnets or something like that. This may be irrelevant (I know it is
routers, but I thought that there might be even tighter restrictions on
ms networking) but worth the investigation. Anyway, without netbeui, you
can't share the drives. Good luck.
One other quickie. I just assume you have turned on file and print
sharing?

I believe what you are looking for is CONFIG_PACKET in the
configuration. Searching the kernel config doesn't turn up anything
else. Anyway, for DHCP, all it wants is for IP to be alive and running
in the kernel. This is what leads me to believe that CONFIG_PACKET is
the option you are looking for. IF anyone knows differently, let me
know.

what are the errors you are getting. If you have rpm installed (slack

I am not comfortable with the meaning of Layers 2/3 but I'll assume that
Layer 2 is the encapsulated data that actually ends up going across the
pbysical line.
Since the overhead for encapsulation should be constant/known I don't see
why you couldn't use the standary ipchains counters and just add a
constant overhead as function of the number of packets passed.
A thought of consolation may also be that I worked for a relatively large
ISP in Germany for a while and, though I was just a temp, I got to see
that they used 'guess-billing' routines for exactly the purpose you
describe. So how sure are you that the ISP has accurate logs?

5 real cheap (old version). Problem.
Q1: I have a CDROM and modem on a Win95 machine.... is there anyway I can

Q2: The RedHat version came with 2 Cd's but the "boot floppies" weren't in

You might try the ne2kpci module as well. Some of the supposed tulip
chipsets actually are not really tulip but will work with the ne2k
stuff. My PCMCIA ethernet card is like this. The docs say tulip, the
kernel says ne2k. Good luck.

Print your route table and post it here. Could be as simple as that.
Also, and I am probably wrong, but the netmask shouldn't end with 240. I
am assuming the outside IP's are a class C and therefore (once again,
this is based on my own opinion) should be 255.255.255.0. I have never
seen a mask ending in anything other than 0. With DHCP, the kernel does
the work, and if it is setting all this, then look towards the route
table. Just type route and it prints what you need. Sorry I can't help
more than that. It seems to me to be a route problem, but I need more
info.

Have you added this line to the lilo.conf? I assume you are using lilo
to boot.
append = "ether=0,0,eth1"? I had to do this to get my second card to
work. If you read the IP-MASQ HOWTO, it mentions this and gives some
pointers as to what you can do with it. The first zero is for the IRQ,
and the second zero is base mem address. If you set these appropriately,
it may solve your problem.

If you have a dynamic IP, then you need dhcpcd or dhclient (one should
be in /bin or /usr/bin or /sbin or somewhere) to get a real IP. Here is
what you do to get it to work.
1. run this command
'dmesg | grep eth0'
This will tell you if eth0 has been configured. If nothing shows up, or
if there is an error, the card isn't alive. Also, you could use
'ifconfig'. This will also let you know what is up and available.
2. Assuming the card is configured, type 'dhclient eth0'. If this fails,
try 'dhcpcd eth0'.
dhclient will print a whole bunch or crazy stuff to the screen and then
at the bottom will report whether or not you got an IP. dhcpcd will
most likely just run and quit without printing anything. The acid test
is to type 'ifconfig eth0' or just 'ifconfig' and see if you have an IP.
Linuxconf will set up a static (give it 192.168.0.1, netmask is
255.255.255.0 and gateway is 192.168.0.1) IP and then dhcp will
overwrite it with no ill effects. Read the DHCP HOWTO's for more
information.
What distribution do you have? The newer ones account for this in the
setup.

For Windows machines to see each other on different networks they need to
have some mechanism to resolve NETBIOS names to IP addresses.
You can use lmhosts files on each win station or WINS server on the network
(I think samba server can be configured as one).

Subject: IPX Crawling, Why?
Date: Wed, 21 Jul 1999 13:59:44 -0500
Hello,
Does anyone here have experience using Linux as a Netware compatible IPX
server (via Mars_nwe)? I've upgraded my Linux system and added an extremely
fast network adapter (WideBand Gigabit PCI!). In most net applications, the
system really screams (like you would expect on a gigabit network), but my
IPX transfers are still generally below 20 Mb/s (like it was on my old 100
base-T network).
I am using Linux kernel version 2.2.10 on an AMD K6-2 350, w/ 132 MB SDRAM.
I've experimented with packet size, and burst size to get me transfer rates
as high as they are. Are the other speed enhancing options that anyone can
tell me about? Mars_nwe documentation is a little sparse, and the mailing
list referenced in the IPX HOWTO is down, so I thought I would try here.
Any suggestion?

I'm wondering if anybody else has this problem:
I have a home network with the gateway server runnning on RH6.
Masquerading works fine on the Windows machines that are connected.
However there is also another RH6 machine on the network. It seems at
times, its packets are no longer forwarded by the server.
For example, all of a sudden, I'm no longer able to ping anybody outside
my network from the client RH6 machine. However, pinging, telneting and
internet will still work on the Windows machines. Even the Windows in
the Vmware on the client RH6 machine is still "connected" to the rest of
the world. Only the actual client RH6 itself has problems.
Any suggestions?

Subject: Linux behind a MS-proxy
Date: Thu, 22 Jul 1999 19:01:28 GMT
We've got a linux box here in a NT-environment. We have a NT gateway
running MS-proxy 2.
Because employees here can only use http, people have to authorize at
the gateway. We've installed the linux box correctly and everything
works fine if we use the internal network (filesharing, printsharing).
The only thing that doesn't work is getting outside with the linux box.
I added a default route to the gateway and when I trace a route to an
IP outside it resolves this IP on one of our internal nameservers, It
connects to the internal adress of the gateway (192.9.201.12), then the
external IP of the gateway is displayed and it continues by displaying
***.
When I start netscape and connect to the outside world, it aks for a
proxy-authentication.
How do I setup linux so I can use the proxy and authenticate itself. Or
how do I setup the proxy that I give the linux box full internet acces,
without changing everything for the rest of the users?

Subject: Remote File System Mount Problems
Date: Thu, 22 Jul 1999 14:55:33 -0400
Hey guys,
I've got two linux machines: A Red Hat 5.1 (kernel 2.0.34-0.6) and a
Slackware '96 (kernel 2.0.0) I'm able to mount a directory called
/mnt/red from the Slackware
machine under a Red Hat directory called /home/SlackShare. And, of
course, I have edited my Slackware exports file to it knows to allow the
RedHat sharing
priveledges. Now, I can access the /mnt/red directory from
/home/SlackShare. I've given the Red Hat machine no_root_squash access
to the /mnt/red directory so I
can edit files. And THAT is where my first problem is... I wrote a
little C program in the /mnt/red directory. It consists of one printf
statement and all it does is say
"This is the shared Slackware directory." It runs fine from the
Slackware machine, but when I try to run it from the Red Hat, the
console freezes and not even Ctrl-c
will halt it. All I get is a ?. I also wrote a similar program on the
Red Hat machine under /home/SlackShare, which is the /mtn/red Slackware
96 directory. I can
compile this program(It looks like a can, at least) but the program
makes the console freeze. I try ctrl-c but, again, get a ? instead.
So, bottom line is I can't seem to run programs from other machines, I
can only read and write to files.
The other problem is that besides the /mnt/red directory i haven't been
able to share any other directories on either machine. When I try to
mount a directory called
/mnt/Slack onto the Slackware directory home/RedShare from the Red Hat I
get the message:
mount clntudp_create: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Unable to recieve.
Can anyone help me? Please? I'm desperate!
Thanks. Mike.

Hello,
Can anyone recommend a good Linux Training Organization?
Has anyone used or heard anything about Linuxcare or Redhat training?

Hi,
can anyone help me setting up a generics db for
my sendmail ( 8.9 / Suse6.1 ) ??
Seems that everything is installed correct, but
in any case sendmail does not map local users
to users in generics db.
Thanks.

This might be an IRQ conflict (modem vs mouse or video), or it might be
that the distribution is doing something funky like changing the loopback
interface 127.0.0.1 hostname during the PPP connection.

If you're into "expect" then there's a script, secure-card, in the scripts
directory of the ppp-2.3.8 source tree that might help. Otherwise you
might want to try this:

It has a patch to chat that was posted a while back.
