This means that the kernel support code doesn't support demand dialing.
To get it you'll need to get a ppp source package and follow the
intallation instructions carefully.  The demand dialing kernel code and
other new pieces are copied to the kernel source tree.  Then you'll have
to recompile the 2.0.37 kernel.

Hi all,

I am currently using RedHat 6.0 and realize that showmount command is
missing in this version. Does anyone know what is the replacement of
showmount command in this version? I'm particularly interesting in try
to find what exported filesystems from other machines; what I mean is
'showmount -e <hostname>'.

Subject: Compiling ipportfw.c
Date: 4 Aug 1999 07:14:42 -0700

*** Hello,

   I'm trying to get an IPsec host working through my Linux IP-masquerade
server.  Have applied the ipportfw patches to kernel 2.2.10, and compiled
it with all the appropriate options.  The base server distribution is
Slackware 4.0.

   Apparently, run-time configuring of the VPN support is done with a tool
called "ipportfw" - OK, I got ipportfw.c off the writer's website.  Tried
to compile it.

   Got a slew of compile errors:

============================ snip ===========================
ipportfw.c:100: warning: `struct ip_portfw_edits' declared inside parameter

======================= endsnip =====================================

....the real killers seem to be the undefined #defines.  They define fields
for the input parameter to "do_setsockopt()" which, I suppose, is part of 
glib.  

   Anyway, before I go through the exercise of getting and digging through
the glibc source and, no doubt, the kernel net/ipv4 source, could somebody
tell me the secret?  Other folks seem to have compiled this guy already.

   Thanks in advance,

                                    - Jerry Kaidor ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] )

Place the via-rhine.c file in the /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/ directory. Now
do "make menuconfig" from the /usr/src/linux directory to re-configure your
kernel setup. You should see via-rhine as an option in the "Network device
support" section. Select it. Now rebuild your kernel in the normal way, and
point lilo at the new kernel (you do know how to do these, don't you?). You
will probably also need to add an "alias eth0 via-rhine" line in
/etc/conf.modules. Now reboot. You should see lines about via-rhine.c and
eth0 in the messages which flash past at bootup ("dmseg | less" to read them
after bootup if they flashed past too fast). These messages should tell you
if there were problems. If not, your card should be working. If there are no
such messages, this hasn't worked.

I'm doing this off the top of my head, so I could be wrong, but there are a
variety of D-link cards with similar names and different drivers. I suspect
that you are right that you need the via-rhine driver, and the other guy is
wrong about the tulip driver, but if the via-rhine doesn't work, give the
tulip a go.

First of all, you need to find out if the 151.201.0.0 address has been
subnetted. If it is true, then your default gateway on your machine sure
point to the router which routes the traffic between 151.201.19.0 and
151.201.20.0.

Remember you cannot use any netmask in the network. The
netmask should be determined when the network was installed. You need to
find out what is actually going on your network, then you set your
netmask to match your network.

If not subnetted, check your connection or cable etc.

Date: Wed, 04 Aug 1999 15:40:45 GMT

Well, I don't see this setup will work for you because Win3.11 does not
have TCP/IP in it. Even though it has netbios running on Win3.11 but it
is geared to file sharing only. If you need to browse from your 486
machine, you need to get a TCP software in Win3.11 in order to setup a
TCP network which you need for Internet browsing.

Or it might be easier to up your Win3.11 to Win98 which has TCP/IP built
in.

I think this is the first step you need to solve before setting your
pentium box as a firewall.

It is a reverse DNS lookup problem. The ip of your SVR4 box can probably be

   Yeah Bill, Win95 networking leaves a lot to be desired.  I didn't see
your original post but let me offer a couple of tools that can help you
troubleshoot.  The command "winipcfg" in Windoze is equivalent to ifconfig
in Linux.  It will bring up a dialog box where you can click on the More
button to get all your IP configuration data.  It will show all interfaces
also.  The "route" and "route print" commands in Windoze will display
routing information.  Look at what the default gateway for 0.0.0.0 network
is.  Your dialup adapter, right?  You need to change that to make the
traffic head for the LAN instead.  You may also need to change the IP data
for the dialup adapter in the Network icon of the Control Panel since that
is where the default gateway gets set.  If this doesn't help then please
post a screen scrape of the route print command.  We'll get you working.
HTH.

Flavio --

The question on my mind is "what's your routing table look like?"  From
a shell prompt, type the command:

netstat -nr

It will output something along the lines of:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 eth0
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U         0 0          0 lo
0.0.0.0         192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0         UG        0 0          0 eth0

The default route will depend on how your gateway is configured.

There are of course, other issues that could be at work.  Are you using
IP Chains or firewalling?  If so, are you blocking all ICMP packets.
There's an excellent IP-CHAINS HOWTO in the LDP.  You might also take a
quick read through the network-related HOWTO's.

Subject: Major Problems with PPP - ISP and RedHat out of ideas
Date: 4 Aug 1999 17:30:36 GMT

Hello,
  I am having serious proplems with attempting to connect to my ISP using 
PPP.  I will attempt to provide as much information as possible, so if 
anyone who can help me on this it would be GREATLY appreciated... So here 
it goes...

  I have RedHat 6.0 installed, and all of my hardware works fine in it.  
However, I cannot get a PPP connection.  Now, If I dial into my ISP ( a 
UNIX box) via a terminal (such as minicom) I can log into the shell and do 
anything I want there (pine, lynx, ftp -> all fine).  So I CAN get a 
connection.  However, if i set it up (using linuxconf or the redhat netcfg 
tool) it will connect and stay online, but if I try to do anything over 
PPP (web browsing, ping, telnet) nothing happens -> basiacally the PPP 
connection deos not do anything if it exists.  I have talked to RedHat and 
they said that they do not support PPP connections.  Great.  So I have 
been working with my ISP for about a week and they are basically stumped 
also (I have been working with their UNIX admin).   So, here is ahwat i 
have sent them... 

This is my var/log/messages file with ifconfig output based on how I 
connected.  The first entry is by connecting using usernet, the secong by

Aug  3 08:14:34 localhost pppd[2505]: Exit.

-- IF Config File Using Linuxconf--
ppp0      Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol  
          inet addr:208.9.153.23  P-t-P:205.246.208.227

Now, I have changed the settings a bit so no matter what the connection is 
established and does not drop unless I force it to, but there is still now 
PPP activity.  I have tried everything I have though of.  I even sent my 
ISP my routing tables and they said everything was fine there.  The only 
recommendation they can give me now is that I may have a hardware 
problem.  So I am going to attempt to change the modem and see what that 
does (even though my current one will connect).  Also If that fails I am 
going to take my linux Hard Drive and put it in another computer to see if 
I can connect there.  My ISP also told me to try to add a static rout to 
my routing configs, and I will also try that this evening.  Also I have 
not attempted to ping my ISP (destination IP in the routing table), but I 
will try that tonight again.

Does anyone have any idea what is happening?  I have read through 3 linux 
books and they all say to get ppp you just install linux and setu up the 
ppp and you are fine.  Unfortunatly that is not working for me.  I have 
really tried everything I can think of besides replacting hardware, and I 
have been working at this for over a week and I am not getting anywhere.  
Any help on this will be greatly appreciates, because no matter what I 
cannot get a PPP connection.  Thank you very much.

You have 2 options of networking Win 3.11 to Linux.  Your basic need
is the TCP/IP stack and winsock.  I tried the Trumpet winsock and the
Novell TCP/IP.  Trumpet 2.0 is free but anything after that is not.
Novell TCP/IP stack is free (at least up to 4.1).  I am not sure about
the current version.
