I found a adsl how-to and it looks like its going to be a snap to
set up.
My only concern was the internet games problems thru the linux machine
and should I forget linux and just plug into the pc.
The reason I say this is a game like tribes does some stuff so you
can play right thru a firewall..TRY that with mech warrior 3 or
delta force.
Mechwarrior 3 has a listing out of what ports you have to open up to
be able to play thru the firewall, only 100.
Delta Force about the same.
What I need to decide is if you open up 100 ports here and 50 prots
there to play a game thru the firewall...what firewall ???
might as well forget a firewall or masquerading and just tie streight
to the pc and play away.
I know there is no problem with ftp, telnet, or surfing the net but
that is not ALL I want to do on my machine.
CAN ??
can I use linux as security and play games on the net ?
thanks again

We would like to use and ip address ending in .250 rather than .1 on
the linux masq server.
.1 is in use by a major server and would not like to change it if possible.
Can we use .250 or do we have to use .1?

true enough. however, mis- or dangerous- usage should be slightly
more awkward than safe usage. this is not so with C/C++.
it often takes more work to look at return values, errno and catch
exceptions than it does to simply ignore them. in C the default
handler is no handler at all. C++ helps somewhat but i still find it
a royal pain in the ass to check and handle everything. i seem
especially prone to extra calls to dtors for my classes. many people
(myself included) assume they have disk space and do not always check
fwrite or putc.

Subject: Transparent proxy
Date: Mon, 26 Jul 1999 16:58:03 -0600
I am trying to get a clean install of Linux (RedHat 6.0) to function as
a transparent proxy server. I did a new recompile with 2.2.10 and it
works great. I also made sure to enable nearly all the options for
firewalling in xconfig. My problem is twofold;
1) I am trying to get the two cards to be recognized. The one is a
PCI 3Com905B and the other is an ISA NE2000. I just need to know which
module would work for the NE2000 since ETH0 recognizes the 3Com card no
problem. But when I try to use Linuxconf or control-panel it delays the
ETH1 configuration.
2) I need to know how to enable transparent proxy support. I'm
figuring ipchains would be the way to go. I have enabled IP
Masquerading on my machine at home no problem, but what I want to do
here is prevent our DSl customers from seeing both our network and other
DSL customers' networks and vice versa.
Could anyone direct me to a Transparent Proxy HowTo page or some
other site. I've read through the ipchains-HOWTO and the
Firewall-HOWTO.
Whatever assistance anyone could provide would be most helpful. You
can either email me or post a response here. Thanks.

Sounds like they may be hanging on name resolution. Check your
/etc/nsswitch.conf for the "hosts:" line and make sure "files" is at
least first if not the only thing there, since your only using
/etc/hosts.

Your tasks are doing I/O. They are most likely in the state
TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and thus increasing the load. That's expected
behaviour. Load does not mean "CPU load" but more generally "system
load".

Subject: LAN not connected to INTERNET: Problem setting up
Date: Mon, 26 Jul 1999 22:05:04 GMT
We are trying to set up a LAN in our lab, without connecting to
Internet. We have 3 PCs running various versions of linux kernels, and
arbitrary IP addresses as they are NOT connected to the INTERNET:
titan (kernel 2.2.10) 128.100.201.51
atlas (kernel 2.0.37) 128.100.201.101
pluto (kernel 2.0.29) 128.100.201.100
All the kernels are compiled for TCP/IP networking. I am NOT running a
name server, and instead use /etc/hosts file for IP to name mapping.
for all the 3 PCs
network address = 128.100.201.0
netmask = 255.255.255.0
broadcast address = 128.100.201.255
NO GATEWAY address for any PC since none is talking to the outside
world.
I have used a D-Link 16 port hub allowing for future expansions. On all
the PCs ethernet cards are initialized on boot.
The problem is when I telnet from one PC to any other PC I get the
first two lines saying that it is connected but hangs there, without
giving any login prompt. Same with ftp. Says that is connected but no
login prompt. What's interesting is ping works perfectly fine, from any
PC to any other PC, with no data loss.
I am stuck there hopelessly. Any solutions ? None of the compilers are
compiled for IP forwarding. Is that a problem?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

First and formost, STABILITY!
secondly very real consideration of $$$$ you will not have to expend
more for licenses except of course if they are windows machines. But
more inportantly no more $$$ to upgrade NT to support more
workstations. Security (despite what some may say) is pretty good and
comparable in both systems. You will find that linux is relatively
easy to learn and for a simple network such as you describe it is a
snap to set up and get running. Hint! Once its running and doing what
you want pull the keyboard and monitor and put them on something
else, you don't have to keep twiddling with linux. If support is a
really great concern you might look to FreeBSD or Open Linux Pro
One mistake that many make though is to also try and make a desktop
out of the linux server, DON'T! The script kiddies around here will
have a cow over that statement, but linux is not quite ready yet for
that. Too few good applications. The time necessary to train
personnell on all new applications just isn't worth it. Windows is a
good SUBordinate platform, heh

Well, I would suggest killing telnetd and using ssh instead if you MUST go in as
root.
Answer to the original question, the terminals are typically ttyp0, ttyp1 etc.
However with Putty (Windows-Freeware) and the ssh package you can do a
reasonably secure telnet into your box. And the ssh package has an option for
root login...
If your interested, email me and I'll make the necessary programs available on
my ftp site....

I know it sounds crappy, but I haven't looked at the source yet to see
what's going on. Go ahead and do it as a module, and copy eepro.o to
eepro2.o and do an insmod on eepro2.o with the options and you won't get

small measure it was from tips I picked up in this newsgroup that I
succeded at this. Thanks.
I must now setup a low traffic web server on the WinNT machine. I've
been able to pick up here (I think), that it is possible to forward
certain requests through the firewall to the NT, something I did not
think was possible. What I don't know is how I do it. I've read a lot
about it here, but I don't know how to put it all together. Some of my
questions are:
Are there IPFWADM commands I should be running to accomplish this?
Any command to forward requests to the NT server should point to the NT's
internal IP address, right? Anything else?
How do I go about allowing only certain users' requests through?
If someone could point me in the right direction, or if somebody has done
something similar and wouldn't mind offering some suggestions, I'd really
appreciate it. Thanks.
Vincent

Hi Bryan,
Which version do you have installed ?
# rpm -qa | grep -i tcpdump
tcpdump-3.4-10
Works fine for me on RedHat 6.0
Mark.

Recently I discoverd the LinkSys Linux Support page at
http://www.linksys.com/support/solution/nos/linux_others.htm
Please check here for the latest information about LinkSys card support to
Linux.
Have a nice time using Linux and Linksys
