Make sure you have set the WORKGROUP string in /etc/smb.conf
set the same as you have on your win 9x box. You can change the server
string name if you wish but the WORKGROUP string is the important
one. Read the man pages for smb.conf for other tweaks as well.

I have one of those inexplicable problems.
I have a server (at 193.82.129.78 - until the Internic finally propagate

That depends. RoadRunner seems to be different in different cities. In
some cases, they're one-directional (cable to you, but async back); in
other cases they're bi-directional. In some cases you run dhcpd, in
others you don't.
In my city, I'm using a one-directional cable modem (SurfBoard 1200)
with a 33.6kbps async modem back. Static IPs are not available.
I'm masquerading and using my Windows system and Linux systems at the
same time, with the Linux system acting as a firewall. What's weird is
that the modem is also masquerading, so I start in the 10.0.0.0 net
internally, go to the 192.168.0.0 unrouted net to the modem, and then
re-masq'd again to the real address.
You can check http://www.cablemodeminfo.com/LinuxCableModem.html for
some reference sites.

You're going to have a bunch of opinions, and most likely all of them
are going to be right. You'll have to decide what's most important to
you.
I've gone with PCI NICs from Trendware. I picked them for $18.99 each
from http://www.nanosys1.com. Since you're posting from umn.edu, you
should be able to head over there and pick them up yourself. They're
located on University. It's a good place to know - I purchased my
system there and know of 2 other people that also did, plus another
couple that have gone for parts there. I haven't tried their NICs in a
PC, but the card does include PC drivers. Gawd knows they can't be worse
than the Netgear cards I bought before I found out about General
Nanosystems. The Trendware cards are nicely detected by Redhat using
the NE2000 drivers and they're working like a charm.
My hub happens to be a Netgear combination 4-port hub and parallel-port
printserver. They run about $100. This allows me to hang the printer
off of it and access it from all my systems at the same time. It's not
perfect, but good enough for my house. You can get a Trendware 5-port
from General Nanosystems for about $30.
For your 3 computers, you'll need 2 NICs in your firewall, plus 1 in
each of the other 2 systems, for 4 total. Add in a cheap hub, and
you'll be out $113 including taxes. That's a pretty decent price for
your network!

Have a look at the Linux Administrators Security Guide if you haven't
already. It's a large online freely available document at
http://www.seifried.org/lasg
The lasg goes through a bunch of configurations, and shows examples for
both ipchains and ipfwadm.

Subject: Need help setting up AMD map to automount CDROM and floppy
I've been searching everywhere to find out how to set up amd automount
for my local machine but can only find complex examples of network
systems. What I'm trying to do is have amd running and whenever I need
to mount my cdrom, floppy or msdos partition (on the same drive) it will
automatically be mounted, then unmounted after a certain amount of
inactivity.
I'm using Redhat 5.2. I've tried autofs but don't like the way it
works. Can someone help me out with the amd.conf and the map to get
this working? I would like to have all my mounts under the /mnt
directory. (/mnt/cdrom, /mnt/floppy) Then when somthing accesses it, or
is entered with a file manager, it will automatically mount. I know it's
got to be simple for what I'm trying to do, I just cant find the info
anywhere.
If someone could help me out I'd really appreciate it.

Hi all,
I can't ping -s 55 localhost or to any other host... Any other packet
sizes would work, but not 55 bytes! MOreover, doing ping -R localhost,
the answer is
RR: localhost (127.0.0.1)
localhost (127.0.0.1)
localhost (127.0.0.1)
localhost (127.0.0.1)
why 4 entries and not 2 (just one hop)??? My routing table is very
basic, only the entries for localhost and the default gateway, that's
it.
I'm running Linux 2.2.7 (redhat6) on two machines (128.197.22.24 netmask
255.255.255.128 and 128.197.22.150 netmask 255.255.255.128 - so in two
different subnets) connected via a 3com 35000 router.
I have a lot of problems with other programs, and I guess that this
weird behavior might be the reason.
Anyone has an explanation to this fact?
Thank you very much,

I have a USR 28800 (external) Fax Modem with V.34 and V.32 bis. While
connecting, and tail -f /var/log/messages, I get:
send (ATDT (my ISP's phone number here))
expect (CONNECT)
^M

Connect script failed
Failed
Exit
I hear the modem dialling in, go silent, and about 10 seconds later I get
the failure. Being that this is an external modem, I tried configuring it
with USR's http://www.usr.com/modem/documents/10563.htm None of this seemed
to make a difference. Any suggestions for a configuration?
Presently I have the dip switches configured as:
1 DTR normal
2 Verbal Result Codes
3 Display Result Codes
4 Echo offline commands
5 Auto answer off
6 Carrier detect normal
7 Load NVRAM defaults
8 Smart mode
I have tried init strings, but did get anywhere with those either. I'm using
RH6.0 kernel 2.2.5-15, and using Linuxconf to do my configurations.
Thanks in advance,

This is very likely caused by the chat script not providing the ISP what
it needs to start PPP there and the ISP is instead presenting a menu or
text prompt. The PPP-HOW to lists some other less likely things.
An easy thing to try is to replace the CONNECT '' in your chat
expect/send script with CONNECT '\d\c' if the script expect/sends
are chat arguments, or by CONNECT \d\c if the script is in a file
defined by the -f chat option. These forms insert a second of delay and,
more important, supress a carriage return that is sent (the "send (^M) in
the log) and can confuse an ISP.
Otherwise we'll need to see the chat execution script and the chat
expect/send script.

Hello:
I've answered this one before in one or more of these newsgroups, but here it
is again. Below is the chat script I use to connect to compuserve:
REPORT CONNECT
ABORT 'NO'
ABORT 'BUSY'
ABORT 'ERROR'
'' AT
OK-AT-OK ATZ
OK-AT-OK ATDT<local CSI tel#>
CONNECT '\r'
ame: CIS
ID: <my CSI id>/GO:PPPCONNECT
word: <password>
PPP
The important part for you is the GO:PPPCONNECT on the ID line. This form
allows you to do something ( in this case, start PPP connection) immediately
on login without having to wait for the initial messages, etc. compuserve
usually gives. Of course you could use GO PPPCONNECT at the prompt after
getting logged in.
I orginally found out how to do this by reading some files in the UNIXFORUM
forum ( a little redundant huh :-) ). Do a search on PPP.
Ralph
PS I just did a search and found a recent file called RHCISPPP.TXT in
UNIXFORUM Library 4 which purports to tell exactly how to connect from
RedHat LINUX. I haven't read it myself, so I don't know what it says.

often this is caused by MS's fucked up TCP implementation, which
basically barfs all over if you use decent-sized windows. Linux _likes_
large windows, since that's the only way to get decent throughput
on a wan or lossy/highlatency/reordering link. alas, MS's TCP stack
is implementing the state of the art circa 1987, when 8K windows were
pretty snazzy. the following will tell your linux box to use
crippled windows when talking to a gateway named "gateway" that's
accessible on eth0:
/sbin/route add -host gateway window 8192 eth0

I have since learned of an "smbfs" RPM and have installed that. I now
get a response when issuing the "smbmount" command. Nevertheless, I am
unable to connect to the NTFS share. I recieve an "access denied"
error. The response I get indicates correct username, host names, and
IP addresses, and my Linux username and password are identical to my NT
username and password. I edited the "smb.conf" file to indicate the
correct NT domain (workgroup). Any ideas?

This should get you started:
ipchains -A input -s 90.14.153.5 -d 90.14.152.92 0:1023 -j DENY
ipchains -A input -s 90.14.153.5 -d 90.14.152.92 5000:65535 -j DENY
alternatively, set default policy to reject or deny and use something
like this:
ipchains -A input -p tcp ! -y -s 90.14.153.5 -d 90.14.152.92 -j ACCEPT

In article <7nb5c9$kum$[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
says...
> route add default gw 1.2.3.4 dev eth0
you have two gateways... let's say they have these ip addresses
gw1: 192.168.1.1
gw2: 192.168.1.2
route add default gw 192.168.1.1 metric 1
route add default gw 192.168.1.2 metric 2
The metric option tells the TCP/IP stack that it's more "expensive" to
use the second route than the first since 2 is greater than 1.
If the first route fails, the TCP/IP stack will try the second route.
Hope this helps,
Luca
