Still ... could you be more soecific on who actually makes wireless ethernet
bridges? I was lokking about a year ago (tho specifically for IR based) but
couldn't find anything).
Also, why do you list a hub? You'd only need a hub if you wanted to have more
than 2 machines on the line ... not to mention 60 quid being somewhat steep for a
small hub (at least by canadian standards ...)

I would have to check on a Solaris box, but in Linux you could use
ipchains and ignore the ip address.
"/sbin/ipchains -A input -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -j DENY -l"
If you didn't even want a log, drop the -l at the end.
By all means, write the ISP of the address as well.

Subject: DIAL UP PROBLEM
Date: Tue, 03 Aug 1999 07:23:55 +1000
It has been bothering me for the last 2 weeks. I have setup chat script
to dial up to my ISP 'Bigpond' in Australia. It has been working fine,
suddenly, it has problem connecting with the ISP. After connect, the isp
send out details of connect speed and welcom message before logon
prompt. The script stops right at the middle of the connect speed
details. But it is intermittent, last night it worked after I have
increased the time out from 30 to 45. But now it does not work even I
increased to 60. In fact it does not seem to be a problem. Then I
switched to window and using dialup connection and here I am. Does it
mean that Linux sux?? I have tried to change the chat script to delay
the detection of the logon prompt, "CONNECT \c ogin:--ogin: dkwok" But
it does not work either.
Is it a problem of not being able to communicate with the isp. I have
exhausted all reasoning. Any one can help??

I don't think there is one (an RFC). The only "specification" is

Reply-To: "mikes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Well, after numerous attempts to connect to my ISP, and failing, I
reinstalled all RH6 software on my Samba server and Firewall. I am able to
connect the Firewall to my ISP, but I'm not sure how I should set up
Netscape (or IE4 for that matter. I've got the best of both worlds at the
moment <g>). Below is a little chart of what I can ping or not ping while
the Firewall is dialed into my ISP.
Here's the basic setup based on Paul Sery's Linux Network Toolkit:
Win95<-->hub<-->Samba_Server<-->Firewall<-->ISP
(Read each computer "down", rather than left to right)
Computer--> Win95 SMB Firewall
Ping Win95? y y n
Ping Eth0/SMB? y y n
Ping Eth1/SMB? y y y
Ping Eth0/FWL? y y y
Ping ISP? n* n y
*Windows recieves a message saying (Request timed out)
My guess at this point would be to that the problem is with the ipchains
configuration, correct? I even turned off ipchains and reconnected to my ISP
and got the same results. I'm guessing if I say the problem is routing
within the server
to the firewall. Any suggestions here?
Is there a Howto on how to set up a WWW browser on a Win95 machine to surf
the Internet through a network?

I'm in the process of trying to figure out to set up ipchains, but in the
mean time I gone about killing processes that I'm not going to use (I
think). In my /etc/sysconfig/sendmail file I made DAEMON=no and
commented out ftp, telenet, talk, finger, ntalk, in /etc/inetd.conf (I
left shell, login, and auth). I think all this means that the processes
that are commented out can never start up - right ????

Guenther,
I have an Auto 16/4 PCMCIA Token-Ring adapter in an IBM 760E ThinkPad. It
was freezing up when I would run ifconfig tr0 <ipaddress>. I changed the
PCMCIA config to exclude high memory as you suggest. Now it says:

Subject: Request-Route <zombie>
Date: Mon, 02 Aug 1999 22:55:42 GMT
Hi all,
I am running Slackware, with kernel 2.0.34
With a nameserver entry to my ISP in resolv.conf.
Normally (Shortly after rebooting the system), if I try to ping a host
that is not connected ( When PPP is down)
eg. ping ftp.microsoft.com
I get back immediately a message saying the host is unreachable,
without even bothering to attempt to send a DNS request.
However the System seems to always eventually get confused, and tries
to send DNS requests, even when PPP is down!
These cause problems, especially with sendmail.
And Telnet, (If the host isn't in its /etc/hosts database)
The problems seem to occur after an entry of "Request-Route <zombie>"
occurs in the process table. I am not sure where this comes from, and
I dont seem to be able to get rid of it, without restarting the
machine.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this is occuring, and how
to fix it after it has?
TIA
Roger

Linux won't use the 2 ATA/66 IDE channels. At least I couldn't
get it to work. I attached a drive to the 3rd channel and DOS
saw it... and the BIOS saw it at boot up... but linux only saw
the first two channels. Channels 3 and 4 are controled by a
HPT366 on-board controller. Linux has to be told about this
and how to access it. As of 2.2.10, it wasn't there.

Well, it tells you. "Connect script failed" That means that your connect
script failed. The connect script is what chat runs. It failed. To figure out why you
must also set up debugging, with a -v after the chat.
If you posted your pppd command together with your chat script we might be able to see
why. Also post the debugging output from /var/log/messages.
You could also read and follow

I'm exporting directories from a Slackware system running kernel 2.0.36.
If other systems can mount the exported Linux directories, then you must
have the /etc/exports file setup correctly.
On the Solaris side you need to be root. I add entries to the
/etc/vfstab file on the Solaris side. Something like:
homer:/var/spool/slrnpull - /var/spool/slrnpull nfs - yes -
Just make sure the directory /var/spool/slrnpull exists on the Solaris
side. You can look at the vfstab to see what each field means. You
should then be able to just type:
# mount /var/spool/slrnpull
You will get an error on the Solaris side but I just ignore it. The
Linux system does not support NFS locking or something that Solaris
wants to see. Supposedly, this has been fixed in the 2.2 kernels.
My Sun runs Solaris 2.6.

I don't think your entry above is correct. It should be something
like:
/directory_to_export machine_to_export_to(rw,no_root_squash)

I bet its a faked source-IP where the DoS comes from. Looks to me
like a smurf attack (ping to broadcast-IPs bring down lame networks)
which still works on thousands of networks *sigh*. Find out who is
responsible for the network and for the nets _above_ you and mail them
to fix their routers if you are sure that it comes from outside. Or
if you know the admins of the routers you could try to find the origin
of the attack by following it from 1 hop to the other (long and painful
way indeed).

Subject: NFS weirdness
From: Art Werschulz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: Tue, 03 Aug 1999 01:51:28 GMT
Hi.
All of a sudden, one of our Linux boxes is having trouble exporting
its filesystems. The /etc/fstab file hasn't changed. However, none
of the exported filesystems seem to be mountable by the other machines
in our cluster.
A few data points:
On the machine that's not properly exporting the filesystems
(a RedHat 6.0 Intel box, running knfsd-1.2.2-4):
(1) If I do "rpcinfo -p | grep nfs", I get
100003 2 udp 2049 nfs
(2) If I do "/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start", I get
Starting NFS services:
and nothing else happens.
(3) If I do "/usr/sbin/exportfs -r", nothing happens at all.
(4) "/usr/sbin/exportfs -a" seems to work (it produces a reasonable
/var/lib/nfs/xtab).
When (as root) I try to mount one of these filesystems on another
machine, I get the error msg
mount: RPC: Program not registered
Suggestions?

Do you have your ISP's nameserver in your /etc/resolv.conf?
the entry is like this:
nameserver 0.0.0.0
nameserver 0.0.0.0
(with the IP adress of the Name Server istead of zero's,
they usually have two of them.)
you have to get this from your ISP.
Most ISP's have automatic installation in MSWindows. if you go through
that, then you can check the browser's configuration, it will have the name
servers listed.
good luck.

Subject: Re: SMB works for Win95 not Win98, NT4.0
Date: Mon, 2 Aug 1999 08:14:08 -0400
Win98 and WinNT now encrypt passwords before sending them to the SMB server,
which is why Samba doesn't recognize them. In the smb.conf file, there is a
switch to enable password encryption. This will most probably (I didn't try
it) break your Win95 boxes. I think you can enable password encryption by
adding/changing a key in the registry of your Win95 clients. This is
described in the Samba documentation.
I hope this will help.

Add entries in the /etc/hosts file for all computers that will be connecting
to that machine. Your RH5.2 box is trying to do a reverse DNS lookup on the
client machines.
