It has nothing to do with your hosts configuration as far as I know.=20
You will have to change whatever program you are using for your email=20

That depends on how Samba is configured, and how your Windows box is
configured. Look for lines in your /etc/smb.conf file with the following
options:
security =
encrypt passwords =
The security = line probably has either "share" or "user" as the value,
but might have something else. If it's "share," you need to give a
password separately for each share. If it's "user," you just log on once
and can then use anything (unless it's overridden for the specific share).
In both cases, you give a password for a valid user account, though you
can restrict the users or give additional options to broaden or limit the
users who can use the share.
The encrypt passwords = line bears the value of "yes" or "no", and it's
probably where your problem lies. Older versions of Windows generally send
unencrypted passwords by default, but newer versions work ONLY with
encrypted passwords. If you configure Samba to use unencrypted passwords,
these newer versions of Windows won't work with Samba. If you set Samba
to use encrypted passwords, you must create a special Samba passwords
file, /etc/smbpasswd. You can use the smbpasswd utility to add a user to
this file, so try using that (type "man smbpasswd" for information on
using this utility).

in case i wasn't clear enough:
use dhcpd.conf to set up two ranges: one with machines that are granted
access to the internet and one range with the non-internet machines.
set up your subnet as 192.168.0.0/16
then use 192.168.1.x for internet machines and 192.168.2.x for non
internet machines
then specify in ipchains: -s 192.168.1.0/24

Could someone clarify for the last time. I always thought that you should
never use 192.168.0.x is this just for correctness or might it cause

THanks for the reply,
I tried what you said but I still couldn't connect. I got an error message
from Netscape that said "Netscape network connection refused by the server.
The server may not be accepting connections or may be busy. Try connection
again later."
One thing I noticed, when I would go from the advanced settings to browser
and then back to advanced settings the box marked connect directly to the
internet was always checked even if I made changes (as you suggested) Am I
missing somewhere that save the settings? BTW I tried it both with an
address in the socks box and without, port 1080.
Anything else I could try. I really appreciate you taking the time to help
me.

check /etc/ssh2/sshd2_config for these lines
# AllowedAuthentications publickey,password,hostbased
AllowedAuthentications publickey,password
# RequiredAuthentications publickey,password
Make sure you have the correct one allowed.
You're getting "no further authentication method available" right?
Check that first.

There is probably a line in your /etc/ppp/options file that starts with
"Lock". Delete it.
Why are you setting up an IP address. You aren't trying to connect to
your phone through a NIC?
One last thought: Is the Cardinal MVP2888I modem a WinModem?

you can specify to ipchains a certain rule that it will only masq packets
from specific hosts. or you could do the whole subnet and then add deny
rules for each host you don't want to have access.

Do you have the following line in your routing table:

Date: Sat, 07 Aug 1999 23:13:24 GMT
I have been using Linux or Unix for years now. Red Hat 5.0/5.2 has
been my latest OS after starting out with Slackware some years ago.
I am interested in starting up a small LAN with a cable modem for
internet access. My server will be a P150 w/32 megs of RAM, 2.1 gig
HD running Red Hat 6.0. It will have 2 network cards in it of course.
The other machine on the network is a Celeron 466 running Windows 98.
Unfortunatley my networking knowledge is limited. I am more than
average because I have a Computer Sci degree... but networking hasn't
been my thing. Never really got into it. (i'm more a programmer)
What kind of network cards should I get? I want them cheap.
Are there any web sites dedicated to this topic?
How can I be sure the proxy on the Linux machine (gateway) is secure
and I won't get hacked?
Does this newsgroup have a FAQ?

I have a network at home that used to be all coaxel (10-base-2), it
connected 3 computers together, 2 in my computer room and 1 in my
nephew's room.
I recently bought a 4-port hub and now have my 2 computers (1 linux, 1
windoze) connected to it.
On the linux box, I have two network cards a LinkSys PCI 10/100 lan
card 10-Base-T card and a Kingston tulip-based combo card.
The Kingston card is connected to the coaxel cable that goes to my
nephews room.
I have both configured.
The linksys works correctly and communicates with my windoze machine.
With the Kingston tulip card, I can ping the card itself, but nothing
else.
I have a small windoze partition on my linux box, when I boot it up, I
can see my nephews computer, so I know the network card itself is
working
My question is how do I get it to see my nephews computer in linux,
right now, I can't ping his computer in linux but can see in in
windoze/net neighborhood...
Can this be done without IP Masquerading?
What I'm trying to do right now is run a Q3Test server on linux so we
can play it together like we used to play games when everything was on
10-base-2
It would be a plus if I could host games on my windoze machine and him
be able to connect to it as well, but I at least want him to be able to
connect to the linux machine...
Thanks for any help in advance...
