AFAIK, if you install beta-kernels (2.x.y, x uneven number) then you
can't expect everything to work properly. Have you considered
installing a stable kernel, e.g. 2.2.10?

You need to tell your NT box to use the Linux box as a default
gateway.
I haven't used NT before, so this setup is for Windows 95/98
In Network Setup, go into your TCP/IP for your Network adapter.
Under Gateway, enter the IP of your linux box.
This is my IP Masq Script, but it's using ipfwadm, instead of IP
Chains, since i'm using 2.0.36
My linux box is 192.168.0.13
My Windows box is 192.168.0.12
# Script to turn on IP Masquerading.

Subject: Re: Cant find http://localhost ...
I've figured out the problem... For some reason the lo device wasnt
getting set up properly during boot-up, so nothing would show up
doing a "ifconfig" or "route". I'm not sure why it wasnt working,
I can see the entry in the /etc/rc.d/init.d/network script which should
start do it, but for some reason it wasnt... I'll have to do a little
more
research to see what and where goes wrong. In fact if I tried to set
them
up manually, doing a "ifconfig lo up" and "route add -net 127.0.0.0",
I would get an error when adding the route, and i'm not sure why either,
but then again I dont exactly know what I'm doing... Just stumbling
through it all... But I figured out that if i did an "ifup lo", that
worked...
So I just added a few lines at the bottom of /etc/rc.d/rc.local, "ifup
lo"
and "ifup eth0" to set up those devices... Now everything works and
I've set up real hostnames, got my win95/NT lan pointed to my linux
box as a gateway, set-up IP masquerading and the firewall, and now
everyone can get to the 'net now via my linux box...
Now I'm off to set-up Samba! Wish me luck...
Thanks for your help.

Subject: My first Network install - Novice
Date: Tue, 10 Aug 1999 14:07:56 GMT
I need advices on how to configure a server/router using my new ASDL
internet connection.
( ..... Long term objective is to make this router my network server
with Linux OS to serve my
current machine (B) and a future machine (machine name: X). ... Note
that I also plan to install
HTTP server, Samba, File server, and more )
Short term objective (if realistic) is to set up a machine (A) as a
server (gateway) which will
also act as a firewall for my second machine (B).
I plan to connect these machines through NICs with twisted pair RJ45.
Machine (A) config:
486SX66 - 8 Meg ram
hd 1 gig - 2 network cards---- 1> Dlink PNP model (?) --- 2-> 3Com model
3c503
512k Ram on Graphic card - VGA/EGA Trident 9000
I plan to use my ADSL connection (connected to my 3com 3c503) to install
RadHat by ftp using
bootnet.img diskette.
- Is it faisable ?
- If not, what other solution I have ?
- Is this hardare sufficient to support XFree86/Xwindows installation
- Is redhat a good choice for server setup
Any suggestions, comments and questions are more than welcome.

Subject: Q: FTP users and ln to their homes...
Date: Tue, 10 Aug 1999 13:41:19 GMT
Hi, I've got an interesting problem maybe you can help with:
I have sucessfully set up an ftp server where the users are chroot'ed to
their home directory. I have them set up with a bin, etc, lib, and
incoming directory. The incoming directory is their depository for files
uploading and downloading. It works great, but I want to put t wrinkle
in this situation.
You see, the ftp server is on a our Linux box and I want the users'
"incoming" directory to reside on another box--our SGI fileserver. This
did not present too much of a task and I can diagram how I did this.
I created a shared directory on the SGI as /raid/ftpusers. Inside I have
each user as a separate directory (ie. calvary, dark3, etc) with
guest/user drwxrwxrwx access. I export the /raid/ftpusers via nfs and
can mount it on the Linux box at a mountpoint /raid/ftpusers (named for
consistency sake only). It has drwxrwxrwx access though it's root/root.
As my user, I can cd to /raid/ftpusers/* and see anything and everything
(my regular ftp users have a null shell).
On the Linux side I have the users homes in /home2/users. Again they are
chroot'ed to their home. Inside I have make a symbolic link to
/raid/ftpusers/<user> as "incoming" (see below).
Now when I 'ftp localhost' and log in as that user and try to cd into
incoming, It says "550 currwork: No such file or directory." Is it
because of the chroot? The use of 'ln'? Access privilages? Just plain
won't work that way?
Here is the example:
Internet
||
=============================
| |____ /home2/users/<user>
| LinuxBox | |
============================= |=/bin
| |-/lib
|_ /raid/ftpusers (root/root drwxrwxrwx) |-/etc
| |-/incoming <- ln -s
NFS mount to: /raid/ftpusers/<user>
| on Linux Box
=============================
| |
| SGI Server |
| /raid/ftpusers |
| | |
| |- /<user> |
| |- /<user> |
| etc... |
| (guest/user drwxrwxrwx) |
=============================
Hope this clears things up of what I am trying to do.
Any suggestions.
I am wanting to do this because on the SGI, we have appletalk and wish
to mount the SGI's /raid/ftpusers on the Mac as "ftpusers" (this is
already done and works) so we can access and have backup of all ftp
files without copying or moving or searching the Linuxbox for the latest
files. This also keeps the Linuxbox from having space problems (the SGI
has 70GB.)
Anyhow, all suggestions welcome - except for insults ;-) If I have left
anythign to question, ask me for clarity.
Thanks

There can be multiple default routes, in fact. But don't rely in any
route being preferred by Linux in all versions. It could use the
first, the fastest, the one with the lowest metric, the least busy
route, or even split the traffic over all default routes. You just
can't be sure of any particular behaviour here.

Actually, I'd reached the conclusion today that it's
this time out that seems to be causing many of my
problems. Another example that I'm finding, is in
trying to use wwwoffle as a web-cache. If I request
a page directly, it gets fetched without any ado. If
I try to use wwwoffle, I get a message telling me
that it couldnt find an authoritative server for the
host (or something similar.)
Time to look a bit more closely at my dns setup, I
think. Actually, it's probably time I just dumped
this nasty Suse distro, and switched to something
a little nicer.

You put this in ip-up and then remove it in ip-down? Or
does it stay in place the whole time?
Does anyone have an example of a full firewall
set-up for a home network connected to Demon that
I could take a look at?

This will work fine, though you may want to also consider a proxy
server (squid) for the cacheing benefit.
