You need to enable IP masquerading when you compile the kernel.

I don't know what in particular you want to monitor, but there is a tool
called iptraf, which which can monitor any IP packets passing through the
network interfaces

hope that helps

Subject: Re: Delaying eth0 initialization?

Your symptoms sound as if the card is in pnp mode.
Are you sure it didn't get accidently put into this mode (eg, did you
ever initialise the card under win 98).

Also, do a lsmod and see if the 3c509 driver is in the kernel.

Is it the only nic in your machine?

Do an ifconfig  eth0 and see if it all looks ok. ( Sometimes when
ifconfig only shows lo, asking it for the specific details can give you
more, or atleast I seem to remember that it did).

Hi,

This problem has not worried me before but now I need to use it, I have
setup rh 5.2 using default ( everything ) I cant telnet anywhere, all it

says is ` unable to connect to host localhost access denied ` its

easy but I cant work out how to enable it ! driving me nuts.

Subject: Trafic Shaper woes...
Date: 3 Aug 1999 12:28:19 -0700

Friends,

I have run into some problems with implementing Trafic Shaper on my Linux 2.2.10
box and am hoping someone could give me a pointer.

Basically I am able to attach a shaper device to my interface eth0 but when I
try to do the same with interface eth1 it gives me the error,

shaper: No such device

which is incorrect because I am using that very same device to telnet in.

Second question (a little more complicated)

I would like to control Internet access for a client at 64Kbps. I thought about
using 2 shaper devices (until I hit the problem above) but it occured to me that
this might not be possible. If a shaper device can only control outgoing packets
and on each device (eth0 and eth1) of my multihomed Linux router I have a shaper
limiting transmission at 64Kbps, the client can get effective throughput of
128Kbps since he could transmit and receive at 64Kbps in each direction.

Is there any way to control aggregate bandwidth (sum of incomming and outgoing
traffic) other than connecting two boxes with, for ex., a null modem cable?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!

Regards,
Alex Panagides

Hello!
I'm trying to setup Win98 - RedHat52 local ethernet,
the physical connection seems to work fine, but i'm
not able to ping any computers (i'm getting 100%
packets lost). I added the  route (route add -net
192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0) and confi-
gured network interface (ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2
netmask 255.255.255.0 up), also i recompiled kernel
to support my ethernet card (NETGEAR FA310TX with 
tulip driver). All IPs and netmask are set properly
too.

Any suggestions what do i do wrong ?

Thanks in advance, Richard Kr.

Date: Fri, 6 Aug 1999 23:50:48 -0700

The Internet-enabled T3 network at my college makes sure that the mac
address
of the NIC and the IP address of the computer match before allowing a
student
to access the Internet.  At the beginning of the school year, each computer
is assigned
an unique IP address.  The server "locks" onto the mac address of the NIC
and checks
to make sure the mac address corresponds to the IP address before allowing
the user to access
the Internet.  So, if the user gets a new NIC, he will not be able to access
the Internet because
the mac address of the new NIC is different from the one on record. The
reason for this is that
last year people were using other people's IP address to do bad things.  I
am trying to do
the same thing on my private network.

So, I am not trying to match the IP address to the mac address.

Subject: Setting up a PPP connection
Date: Sat, 7 Aug 1999 01:01:42 -0600

Hello,

I'm fairly new to Linux and I installed Redhat 5.2 on my PC about a month
ago.  I'm wondering how to get a PPP connection set up to work through
Linux.  I do this on my PC under Windows 95 to get an internet connection.
I went into linuxconf and set up a few things, but I'm not sure if I have
to activate something first before connecting up to the internet, or if it
is supposed to automatically connect up when I try and start something
like telnet or Netscape.

This is what I do in Win95 with my PPP connection: I can either click on
the Connection icon to dial-up, or I can just start up Netscape or telnet
and then it will automatically bring up a screen to dial in to the modems.

How similar is this process to creating a PPP connection in Linux?

Subject: Three ethernet cards, one not found
Date: Sat, 07 Aug 1999 07:31:53 GMT

I've been reading through the Ethernet howto, and a bunch of others.  I
have a nice little 486 dx2-66 sitting here, with three ISA 3com nics in
it.  They are all 3c509s, two of them are listed by the DOS (ugh) config
problem, er program, as 3c509-combo, and the last one is listed as a
3c509-TP.  The 3c509-tp card seems to be the problem.  I've tried a
couple of combos of IRQ and I/O for it, but I can't seem to get linux to
recognize it.  I have the 3c509 driver compiled into the kernel, and
I've been using the 'ether' parameter from the lilo prompt to tell the
kernel where to find the cards etc.  It seems unlikely that the card is
bad, since the dos config program recognizes it just find, and doesn't
have any problem changing the settings.  If I've missed this in TFM
someplace, let me know so I can go back there and read it again.
Thanks!

Date: Sat, 07 Aug 1999 07:28:55 GMT

Hello,

I set up two computers, one as as bootp/dhcpd server:

EtherNetAdr Server: 00:00:F4:5C:70:9E
Card: PCMCIA Corega Ether PCC-T
The card is assigned to an IP addess and running in promisc mode
(for tcpdump to scan for any activity on the line)
BootpServer: I tried both, dhcpd, and bootp.

and the other one as client:

EtherNetAdr Client: 00:40:26:3F:DA:0D
ne2k-pci.c* PCI NE2000 clone 'Via 82C926' at I/O 0xd400, IRQ 10
eth0: PCI NE2000 found at 0xd400, IRQ 10, 00:40:26:3F:DA:0D
. 

A)Experiment 1:
===============
The client machine is booted from floppy disk, and uses a kernel
with the bootp option compiled in. After uncompressing the kernel,
the client is sending bootp request on the ethernet. At least this
what it tells it does.

Client Side:
============
EtherNetAdr Client: 00:40:26:3F:DA:0D
ne2k-pci.c* PCI NE2000 clone 'Via 82C926' at I/O 0xd400, IRQ 10
eth0: PCI NE2000 found at 0xd400, IRQ 10, 00:40:26:3F:DA:0D
Sending BOOTP requests...eth0: timeout waiting for Tz RDC
.eth0: timeout waiting for Tx RDC.


Server Side:
============
tcpdump -evvn -i eth0  on the server gives me this for each bootp
request that is sent from the client:

8:8:1:1:40:40 ff:ff:ff:ff:26:26 3939 406:
                         0000 ffff 0000 0000 0606 eaea 0000 0000
                         0000 0000 0000 2626 0000 0000 0000 0000
                         0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
                         0000 0000 0000

Questions:
==========

Question 1: What kind of package is this ? Bootp ? Why do I not
find the client's ethernet address in this packet ?

Question 2: I ran both, dhcpd and bootpd in debug mode. Why do the
bootp request not get to the  bootpd/dhcpd server which would surely
show up in a debug message ?

Question 3: How does bootpd know the interface to listen at ? It is
not given on the comand line nor in the configuration file
(/etc/bootdtab). I did not find any remark on that in the how-to's or
in the man page.



B) Experiment 2 (Pinging):
==========================

1)I booted the client with a boot/root disk system.
2) The client is assigned IpAdr 130.149.5.2, the server gets 130.149.5.1
3) The route tables are set on both machines.

Pining from the server to the client does nothing (expect producing a
lot of arp-tell me requests), because there is no Inetd setup on the
client's
side

Pinging from the client to the server gives this:

Client side:
============

PING 130.149.5.1 (139.149.5.1): 56 data bytes
eth0: timeout waiting for TxRDC
eth0: timeout waiting for TxRDC

Server Side (tcpdump -evvn -i eth0)
===================================

14:44:05.973908 8:8:8:8:0:0 ff:ff:ff:ff:26:26 2626 60:
                         8282 0000 0000 0501 0606 eaea 0000 0000

                         0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 000


Questions:
==========

Question 1: Why did ping not work ?
Question 2: Why is the client's Ethernet Address not in the package ?



Help is appreciated, as I am struggeling with this for a month by now.
The first hurdle was the PCMCIA network card not working. It got
detected
by cardmgr, and looked well in the system logs - Nevertheless, it
wasn't working at all. This I could fix. Bootp seems to be the next
quest.

Thanks,

Tilman

I like the Netgear FA310TX, works with the default Tulip driver but also
comes with an updated linux driver on the floppy disk.
