Are you trying to FTP into or out of the Linux box? If attempting to FTP into
the box, you'll need to use the static IP address assigned by the ISP or
InterNIC if you have registered your own domain and are assigned an IP
address. Provide more details and we can probably assist you further if
necessary.

You can configure the NIC using ifconfig as the root user. Read the online

Yes, it is possible. Whether or not your cable company will allow you to
have two public IP addresses at the same time is less certain.

how is this possible if u dont know the IP address of your computer once
its connected to your ISP? Obviously its going to be different each time
u connect and since u would be telnetting u would need to know the IP of

Subject: Domain Problems - Someone else is aliased against my domain
Date: Wed, 11 Aug 1999 05:13:06 GMT
I just registered my domain with Register.com and am having problems
with another domain IP that seems to be bounced against mine.
I can ping and connect to my network from work using my domain name,
but can't send mail to it without that mail being bounced against
someone elses network.
===============
Outside email to my network gets reject notices such as:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Remote host said: 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of
allowed rcpthosts
209.67.50.14 (which seems to belong to exodus.net) is not my IP, as I
am 24.8.23.36
=================
When I ping "norske.org", I get:
PING norske.org (24.8.23.36) which is my IP.
==================
When I ping mail.norske.org, I get:
PING norske.com (194.164.96.164)
which seems to be aliased somehow against "norske.com" and someone
elses IP.

A "dig mx norske.org" seems to also put me into the exodus.net.

Date: Wed, 11 Aug 1999 06:01:18 GMT
I struggled with this for a few days and finally found a solution that
seems to work, at least for Cox@home. I have been working on bringing up
a second system running RH6.0 with kernel release 2.2.10 to replace my
old system(running RH5.0). This system will act as a server and
firewall for my home network. I downloaded the latest pump and the
latest dhcpcd from the Red Hat web-site(pump 0-6-7-1 and DHCPCD
1-3-17p12) and they did not work. I struggled with it for a few days
reading the HOWTO's and message boards before finally coming across a
later version of DHCPCD(dpcpcd-rhcn-1.3.17pl3-1) on the "rpmfind"
web-site. The link is included below:
http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/rhcn/i386/dhcpcd-rhcn-1.3.17-pl3-1.i386
.html
I tried it and much to my surprise it worked. If anyone knows what the
difference is I would be very interested.
Hope this helps someone avoid some time. Also, I did not have to cycle
power on my cable modem. I can switch computer ethernet connections with
no problem from one machine to the other as long as I stop and start
dhcpcd. This might be unique to Cox@home however.
Next step is getting ip masq and ipchains working on the second system.
Hopefully this will go a little more smoothly.

I had the exact same problems. I found out that I needed to
power-cycle the cable modem and let it sit off for a few minutes. Then
I turned it back on and ran this command:
/sbin/pump -h hostname -i eth1
Well, for you it would be eth0 and the hostname would be your Linux
hostname, which should be the one they supplied you. If they did not
give you one, use whatever hostname you are currently using on the
Linux box.
In order to make this stick after a reboot, you have to edit your ifup
file to include the /sbin/pump command just like above. I think the
ifup file is in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts but it may be somewhere
else, I can't remember.
I have an identical setup with the two 3C509Bs (PnP disabled) RH6.0
and I was getting the same errors. Good luck
