Subject: Dialup Printer Configuration wanted
Date: 22 Jul 1999 23:26:09 GMT
Could someone point me to a HOW-TO for configuring linux to use a
dialup printer.
The printer consists of a serial printer connected to a modem,
which is connected to a telephone line, with no other equipment involved.
This sort of setup is out-dated, but our company still uses a few dialup
printers.

Take another look at the Printing-Howto. I thought it covered this
scenario. I think basically you want two entries in your /etc/printcap
file. The first entry does your conversion from Postscript to PCL (or
text) and this points to your second entry which them sends this output
to your remote printer.
I set up a sort of filter which uses Ghostscript and then redirects
the output back to a filter which then sends the output back to the
Windows machine via the smbprint script.
=====/usr/local/bin/filter====================
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/gs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -r300 -sDEVICE=ljet4 -sOutputFile=-
- | \lpr -P smb-remote -U$5
=====End======================================
It has been awhile since I did this. I have no idea what the -U$5
is for.

The above is for an HP connected to a Windows 95 machine but it

As always, your mileage may vary.

hi
i work at a small computer firm, and we just installed linux on an old box
just to try it out. Everything works fine, except when we try to connect to
the WWW, netscape displays a little of the page, and tries to load the rest,
but in 2-3 minutes we get the "connection reset by peer" message. The
network is 3 win9x boxes and the linux box, and a server running NT (it was
there when i started). All the others can connect fine, and i can ping all
of them in linux, so the network is ok....any ideas on what's going on?
thanks

That would be a bad move since 4.51 crash on many installation. I've
got 3 PC so far that crash with these versions. 4.5 works sort of OK.

Obviously you are not a programmer/developer. Therefore you will not
be able to contribute to the development series of the Great Linux
kernel.
You can either learn programming, or stay with the stable series of the
kernel.
You must read the Kernel-HOWTO!
Kernels with numbering 2.odd_number_here.x are development series.
Kernel with numbering 2.even_number_here.x are stable series.

Hey all.
A friend would like to set up a small company web server (minimal
traffic) from their ISDN connection. I'm a relative newbie to linux (I
have setup linux/apache within a LAN environment before) and internet
networking and have a few general questions to ask before I go digging
to find out how to do this.
1. is this generally possible (they have a registered domain name and I
believe the ISDN provides a static IP address)?
2. They currently work in a Mac LAN environment. would the linux box
be able to connect to this network in a "proxy"/firewall/webserver roll
without impacting their ability to access the internet in thier current
manner?
cheers,
pete.

You basically have 1 or 2 options, depending on how the DHCP server is
implemented.
Chances are, you can also simply get a hub, and plug everyone into the
hub. Both the Win machine and Linux box will broadcast to the DHCP
server, and get appropriate addresses. It's possible to set up DHCP so
that you require a unique hostname to pass to the server, and if that's
the case you'd have to get id's for both machines, or else only use 1 at
a time. [ I'm doing this with my DSL connection, and it works fine. The
wierd thing is that the two machines usually end up on different subnets
- wierd, but it works] Costs you a hub, which is probably pretty cheap
Setting up the Linux box as a firewall/masquerading router will work
regardless of your situation - there is lots of info on how to do this
in the newsgroups and HOWTO's. In a nutshell, you get 2 NIC's for the
linux box, and hook one up to the network (configured for DHCP) and hook
the Win box up to the other (static addresses).

Samba is definentely something to get. It takes a little work to get Win9x
or WinNT to connect to it, but I would say it's worth-while. To do a basic
Linux->Win/Win->Linux, you need two ethernet adapters, 10- or 100- BaseT
(one for Linux, one for Win9x) and either a crossover cable or an ethernet
hub that has a crossover mode and two straight cables. Hubs are more
expensive, but allow for expansion later on. Install the ethernet adapters
and make sure they both work. Hook the two together (either via hub or
crossover cable). Make sure that you assign IP addresses (on Linux, it
should be done at install, on Wintel, do it using the network control panel
[make sure you have TCP/IP installed for Win9x]). Try pinging from Windows
to Linux and Linux to Windows. If it works, you should be able to do HTTP,
FTP, Gohper, Telnet, etc., plus Samba.

Subject: Confused - DHCP/DSL - no default route
Date: Thu, 22 Jul 1999 19:18:27 -0600
I've had US West DSL up and running for about 8 months now, and have
been extremely happy with it. I've got masquerading set up for a couple
boxes on my private network, and everyone is happy.
But...
I took a look at my routing tables, and there is no default route set
up. I had assumed that dhcpcd would set up a default route , but I'm
now a bit confused as to how Linux routes things if there is no
default. It doesn't appear to matter which order the interfaces are
configured, the routing works either way.
Looking in /etc/dhcpcd/hostinfo-eth1 it appears that a ROUTER parameter
is being sent, and setting up the default route with this as the gateway
doesn't hurt anything, but I guess I can't be certain it's actually
doing anything either.
So, I'm not having any problems, but I'm now just a bit uncomfortable
that things aren't working the way I thought they were. Any
enlightenment is appreciated.

You don't tell chat what serial port to use, you tell pppd and it passes

If you are using chat with pppd then use it with the -v option and

This likely means that the chat script has failed to give the ISP what
it needs to start PPP at it's end, or perhaps has terminated in some manner
that is less than graceful (of course the ISP doesn't get what it needs
in this case either).
You can find this and other causes for "looped back" in the PPP-HOWTO.
You can use the chat -v option, and and the pppd debug option just in
case the chat script is not at fault, and examine the logs in /var/log .
You can post the chat script and the logs for an option from the group.

Mike,
I see two possible problems. First, check to make sure that you set
the default gateway on your Win 95 to point to your Linux box. Second,
check to make sure that ipchains permits ICMP packets to pass through in
both directions. "ping" uses the ICMP protocol.
Instead of "ping", you may want to try traceroute; I believe that in
Windows the command is tracert (not sure about this).

Dan,
A simple and less secure option would be just to open port 110 to
all IP addresses. Or, if the mail servers are all in the same family of
addresses you could use "-s 123.456.789.0/24". Good luck!
