Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
hi, i've installed both a ppp server and a ppp client on a redhat 5.2
and redhat 6.0 system (respectively). i have the standard settings
from the HOWTO, but i keep running into the same problem:
right after the ppp connection is established, i can telnet to the
server but only for a few seconds-- afterwards the telnet session
freezes. i know the problem is not with the client because i can
connect to a local ISP and to another linux ppp server i had
previously configured. furthermore, i can't ping the server (or
the client from the server's side) at all-- not even for the first
few seconds of the connection.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
please CC the response to my email ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
thanks-- Aldy

Yes, in the HOWTO there are a few notes on this. There are two
options:
- Implement the quick-and-easy "double-queue" hack to fool a Linux
box into thinking that it is a local printer. Then point everyone
at that linux box.
- Obtain and use the FreeBSD lpd port; it includes a patch to allow
if filters to be run locally for remote printers.
The first one is probably the easiest; just follow the instructions in
the HOWTO's network printing section. URL below.

Subject: need static route on bootup
Date: Thu, 22 Jul 1999 13:17:38 -0600
OK, I am new to Linux (but years using Solaris) and I can't figure out
how to add a static route for a host in the boot scripts on my Linux
machine. The startup scripts check if linuxconf exists (it does) and
then does a "while read $args" - what? am I suppose to echo some args
to it or something? Isn't there a xxxx.conf file that I can put my
static route info.?
I commented out the linuxconf lines and added the route, but if there is
a way to set up a static route using a linuxconf command-line statement
or config file, I'd rather do that. Can anyone help or point my in the
direction of some decent documention on the Internet? I can't find
anything on how to actually USE the command line interface, just vague
references on how great it is.
Thanks in advance for any help

Yes. Squid is a WWW Proxy Server, and sends no welcome message.
Browsers with FTP support, such as IE.... won't check for a Welcome message.
REAL Ftp Clients do. As they get no welcome message, the connection times
out.

Subject: Mars_nwe and upper-and-lower case CDs
Date: Thu, 22 Jul 1999 19:47:33 GMT
I've been toying with the idea of using Mars_nwe as a CD server on our
NetWare 4.11 network; I'd like to simply copy a number of CDs to their own
partitions and connect to them as needed. I'm running RH 6.0. I've pretty
much got it working as planned (still need to be able to log on as someone
other than supervisor...) but I think I may have hit a big snag. I just tried
to share a M$ CD which has a mix of upper and lower case filenames and I
could only see the files and directories with lower-case first letters. I
tried removing the k attribute from the share, but then I couldn't see the
files I could see before. Is there any workaround which would allow me to see
both upper and lower case filenames on the same CD? Or should I try using
samba instead?
Thanks,

What version of Novell? If it is newer (4.1) you can turn on IP in your

available on 3.1, but it was a pseudo thing. Basically an IP wrapper

This is normal. The kernel assigns PIDs in order, only reusing them
when it's hit the upper limit and must restart at the bottom.
This is a good feature, because otherwise, you could accidentally kill
processes that you don't mean to. Imagine: a runaway copy of Netscape
needs to be killed, and it's PID is 423. You kill it.
Then, awhile later, you need to kill something else, so you scroll back
in bash to the previous kill command. Instead of changing the PID, you
erroneously just hit Enter. (It happens.) Unless your system is
creating and destroying processes at a horrendous rate, this won't hurt
anything, because nothing will be using PID 423. It'll probably take
hours or days before the system gets back around to using it.

You say you've installed the tulip.o driver module, but you don't say what
version of the driver you're using. I have no experience with the Asix
Tulip clone specifically, but many of these clones work better with more
recent versions of the Tulip driver than what comes with the Linux kernel
(at least through 2.2.9; I've not checked more recent ones). You might
want to check http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/tulip-devel.html
for the latest driver and recompile your kernel or kernel modules with
that.

I've been trying this for the past few days. First you need a null
modem
driver for windows, see attached (i don't know how to do direct cable
connection).
Next you need to get a null modem cable and hookup between your linux
machine
and your windows machine.
Next, edit /etc/inittab and add the following:
S(X):2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -r -s 115200 ttyS(X)
(replace (X) with the number of your serial port you're going to use:
com1=/dev/ttyS0 com2=/dev/ttyS1 etc...)
Next edit /etc/mgetty+sendfax/login.config and add the following:
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd -detach crtscts login auth -chap +pap\
<LINUX IP ADDRESS>:<WINDOWS IP ADDRESS> \
ms-dns <NAME OF YOUR DNS>
Almost home, edit /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and add an entry for your
login
loginname servername secret ip-address(optional)
type init q, then hop onto the windows machine and install the null
modem
driver. For the port, use the port you'll be connecting from, for the
number
just use 555 555 5555 it doesn't matter. Enter your name and password
that
you added to your pap-secrets, click on connect and you should negotiate
a connection. Test it out by pinging back and forth from your win box
to your
linux box.
If it doesn't work check through your logs:
/var/log/messages
dmesg
/var/log/mgetty.log.ttyS(X)
etc...

Are there any "standard" chat type scripts which will work with

I had to use a dip script as it's the only dialup type utility I found
which can change baud rates half way through.
However, since dip can't take arguments, you can't pass a number to dial
to it, so for every location I have to have a different copy of the
script.
Is there a better way?

Short version, try first (assuming irq 10, I/O 0x300 on isa nic):
In /etc/lilo.conf
[...]
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36
label = linux
append = "ether=10,0x300,eth0 ether=0,0,eth1"
root = /dev/hda8
[...]
run '/sbin/lilo'
Long version:
In /etc/lilo.conf
[...]
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36
label = linux
append = "ether=0,0xf480,eth0 ether=10,0x300,eth1"
root = /dev/hda8
[...]
this loaded a pci-card as eth0. (not sure if i need the 0xf480, dont
think so) and a isa-nic (3c509) on irq 10 and I/O 0x300. (was there
some problem, dont remember..)
To have the isa nic as eth0 (assuming irq 10, I/O 0x300) and the pci
as eth1
append = "ether=10,0x300,eth0 ether=0,0,eth1"
should work. Meaning first activate the isa-nic as eth0, at given
values. And then autprobe for the pci-nic.
A line like the one under would autoprobe for two nic's, but if you
need sharp control over what is eth0 and eth1... not:
append = "ether=0,0,eth0 ether=0,0,eth1"
(but for a start, and test, to find values and so set them into the
lilo 'append =' -line for more control, fine. Remeber to run
/sbin/lilo to activate lilo and changes to lilo.)
In linuxconf remove the setting on module on eth0 and eth1. Not
needed. Card should be activated at startup.
I use drivers compiled into the kernel. But will there be any loss of
control on the tulip driver, setting 'media type' and so on?
(Ifconfig will not do that, someone working on it?)
Maybee there is a 'ether=0,0,0,eth1' or 'ether=0,0,0,0,eth1' syntax to
get that on tulip. Searc the doc's for 'append =' or 'ether='.
But. If there is no problem, dont worry.

It wouldn't be impossible to hack around this requirement, but it'd be
somewhat ugly (write a script to overwrite the file before starting up
pppd.) I might try this as an experiment, but if there's a more elegant
way to do it, I'd certainly be interested in learning.
Thanks,

OK, I am trying to configure ipchains and masquerading, hoping to use my
Linux machine as a firewall/ router
for the internet ---> LAN
When I run ipchains -- version I get version info ( 1.3.8)
When I run ipchains --L looking for any current list I get
an error message telling me that ipchains is incompatible with this
kernel ( I am running OL2.2)
I have both the IPchains and Firewall Howto's - I'm not even sure which
is the right one to focus on
to get this working properly
I have recompiled my kernel with Firewall support and Ipmasquerading
support.
Suggestions graciously requested,
Thanks

Well, two LAN cards with a coaxial connection would be the easiest, and
also the fastest transfer rates. The lpt can be used, but so can the
serial. You could set up a PPP connection over either ports. Serial
would be easier (IMHO), but no one says you couldn't do the lpt. I just
know more about the serial.
