OK. You've got 2 ISPs and you want to use one most of the time and another one only
for certain hosts/nets. Did I get it right?
If so, all you have to do is to set up the routes to these "special" hosts.
To do that use "route add -host my.special.host gw ADSL.isp.gateway". To set up route
to a net, use "route add -net my.special.net netmask special.netmask.goes.here gw
ADSL.isp.gateway".
As networking stack uses 'default' route as a last resort, ADSL will be used to access
my.special.host an my.special.net.
It has some limitations, though. Routing is done on an IP address basis. It means,
that if my.special.host has multiple IPs you will have to either set route to the
subnet these hosts are on or you will have to setup a route for each IP address.
Have fun.

Hostname check: Linuxconf / network / Client Tasks / Basic Host Information
The hostname there should be What you want the system to think of its self (probably
helena)
GNOME wants a DNS server on start up. Best bet is to use "Activate on Bootup" for
your internet interface in netcfg, or configure your box as its own DNS server
Your hostname is how your computer thinks of itself. For other computers to think of
you as Helena, their nameserver has to be configured to recognize Helena as you. Not
easy unless your on a LAN.
As for everything knowing what to use, its pretty automatic. If a service is started,
it starts on everything (though you can block it by editing hosts.deny in /etc) If it
specifies an IP, it uses each respective netmask (so if it refers to 127.0.0.1, it
uses lo (loopback) or if it uses say (192.168.0.1, if thats your lan address) it uses
lo. Yet if it uses 192.168.0.2, it will use an ethernet card, if thats your lan's
subnet. if it uses 207.172.163.182, it will use your widest interface, probably your
modem. So unless you tell it otherwise, services use everything, though they can be
blocked, and clients use the local domains. (to force the modem to disconnect, and
test each one out, use 'ifdown ppp0' (or your internet interface) and run the proggie.
Bear in mind that if you disconnect from the net, you will lose DNS access, so unless
your computer replies to its own loopback, some prog's will have problems (Sendmail,
or Samba, or Gnome Startup) Try adding 'ndc sta!
rt' to /etc/rc.d/rc.local. That may give you loopback resolution (quiet gnome) if it
shipped properly for your version.
Message if you need help, and I hope it all works out for you!

I'm not sure but maybe the xntp protocol transfers the clients ip address also as part
of the data.
you could check that on your private net with a sniffer.
or it could be that those servers don't accept ntp requests via TCP only via UDP ..
and that doesn't work well with masquerading.
a sniffer could be of value here as well .. to see if your clients use UDP.
as a work around i would suggest using your router as xntp client to synchronise with
the companys servers and as a xntp server for your clients.

Unfortunately there is no really easy way to make them think, though if you disable
some of the things that require it (sendmail, and samba, or force sambas hostname (or
even sendmails) etc) you can take the easy way out. The long answer is also the
painful one. You can configure the clients to use the gateway-box as a name server,
and the gateway-box as the said server. Its a long process, but it can be done ;-)
There are some marvelous howto's out there.
One last thing to try (actually try it before the rest of them) change the timeout's
to say 1 second, and see if that works. It should relay a timeout, where as zero can
cause some comp problems.
Best of luck, and hope it helped!

Ensure your /etc/conf.modules has a set of lines resembling
alias eth0 3c509
alias eth1 3c509
alias eth2 3c509
options 3c509 io=0x350,0x330,0x640
where the 0x350,0x330,and 0x640 are your respective IO addresses.
if those dont work, we can try forcing this like so:
alias eth0 3c509-1
alias eth1 3c509-2
alias eth2 3c509-3
options 3c509-1 io=0x350 irq=7
options 3c509-2 io=0x330 irq=8
options 3c509-3 io=0x640 irq=9
(Bearing in mind that this loads the driver modules 3 times)
MAKE SURE YOU MATCH MAC ADDRESSES TO THE CARDS AND IO'S OR THINGS _WILL_ GET UGLY ;-)
Of course, if your using a kernel compiled version, its uglier still
LILO: linux ether=IRQ1,IO3,eth0 ether=IRQ2,IO2,eth1 ether=IRQ3,IO3,eth2
(All one line)
Make sure you are doing all of this from a COLD boot, (to eliminate any problems often
associated with Dual Booting) and update your kernel to at least 2.2.5
If none of this works, message me, and we will get this hammered out. Hope it all
helps!

Ok first, makesure your not using a winmodem. These are satanic and evil (And PCI)
If your using one of these, you might as well stop reading, There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY
TO MAKE THEM WORK. (I know, i dropped 50$ on one.) If its external or ISA your clear.
Next find out what COM port its on (Windows / Control Panel / System / Device Manager
/ Modems / [your modem] / Properties)
If you havent upgraded your kernel to 2.2.5+, then (as root) type:
ln -f /dev/cua[comport - 1] /dev/modem
(All one line)
(So if windows reported COM2, use /dev/cua1, if windows reported 1, use /dev/cua0 etc)
So it looks similar to
ln -f /dev/cua2 /dev/modem
then enter netcfg (in Xwindows)
Under names, add the nameserver of your ISP (you may have to call them)
under interfaces, click ADD, choose PPP and click ok type in the phone # and the
username / password and click ok. (it should close, or ask you to save.) Reopen it
by double clicking on it (ppp0) and for modem port, choose /dev/modem for line speed,
generally 115200 works, though 57600 might work better. Check the 1'st and third
boxes, leave the rest unchecked. Under networking, i use activate at boot time. That
means your box will ALWAYS stay online. Also, the rest should be checked generally.
The rest of the information can generally be left alone. click save, and back at the
main screen, try to activate it. If you dont here it in at most a minute, you have a
problem. Shell back out (Text screen) and try typing 'ifup ppp0' (That is also the
manual way to dial out, if you dont have it automatically do it, and ifdown ppp0 would
hang up)
if you get an error message, relay it to me and well make this darn thing work ;-)
Hopefully you wont need it, and I hope it helped!

Hi,
Load up a shell and su to root,

try "modprobe 3c509" to load the
module. Then try the ifconfig eth0..
To fix this add either "modprobe 3c509"
to /etc/rc.d/rc.local or
add "alias 3c509" to /etc/conf.modules.
Check to see if you have /etc/modules..

Autofs is quite broken in how it passes things to smbmount. Not that
this is the autofs folks fault as smbmount has been changing quite a

Subject: Installing 3C509 Card - Debian 2.1 - Problem
Date: Sun, 08 Aug 1999 22:15:16 -0400
I have Debian 2.1 up and running. Was using a NE2000 coax network card
as eth0 and everything (TCPIP) was working fine. Now I want to change
over to a 3com 3c509TP card.
First I remvoved the NE2000 module using modconf. So far so good.
Next I set the 3c509 card (pnp disabled) to io=300h and irq=10 (did
this by botting in dos)
Now I want to install the 3c509 module. So I ran modconf, selected the
3c509 module and hit "Install the module in the kernel". The next
screen to appear has a the top a line saying:
"Enter command line arguments io=300h irq=10"
Then down at the bottom of the screen there is a line, apparently for
entering command line aguments.
I have tried typing all sorts of permutations on this line to no avail,
including:
io=300 irq=10
io = 300 irq = 10
io=300h irq=10
io = 300h irq = 10
Always I get the following error message:
/lib/modules/2.0.36/net/3c509.o: symbol for parameter io not found.
and a message saying the install failed.
Any idea what I am doing wrong?
By the way, I also tried using "insmod". This gives me what appears to
be a message indicating successful installation, (?) but has no effect
after a reboot. Also cannot ping myself after "installation" using
insmod.
Can anybody help? Thanks very much in advance.

...and those people generally suggest it because they heard it somewhere
else, and so forth. `su` is a dangerous command that should be
depreciated as quickly as possible. The added security it provides over
a standard telnet session as root is no longer significant in light of
stronger security measures such as ssh or secure-telnet. The security
*risk* it creates on a multi-user system now outweighs any benefit, and
telling people to use `su` should now be considered bad advice.
Your best bet is to use some form of encyrpted connection. If this is a
home machine [not to be used for commercial purposes], you can get ssh
from ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/unix/security/login/ssh/ . There are other
security programs available that have less restrictive licensing, in
case you need to use your box for business reasons.

Not entirely correct. The packet sniffer *must* be running on a machine
through which your packets travel, or on a machine local [ie bridged,
not switched] to another such machine. With the exception of the first
few or last few hops, almost all internet traffic travels through
dedicated hardware unable to even run a sniffer [such as routers], on
fully switched and secured networks. If a hacker were to compromise one
of these systems, there would be bigger problems to worry about than
sniffing passwords.
As you pointed out, cable modems are especially dangerous. This is
because the first-hop connection with a cable modem is effectively via a
bridge [or "hub"], and no packet-level security is provided. Please
note, however, that the sniffer must be running on one of the local
boxes -- it is not possible to sniff remotely.

You can not login as root from a remote terminal (for security reason) but
you can login as a normal user and launch the command su ( to become the

There is and other way to do this. You can edit the file /etc/securetty and
give root the permission to log from an other terminal than the console but
is is not recommanded.
