Actually you need IP Frowarding to make ip masquerading work.

I have 2.0.36 kernel with ipfwadm and ipportfw. I need to put the following
firewall rules inplace (want to play age empires...)
* Allow an initial outbound TCP connection on port 47624.

This may or not help, but mindspring uses PAP authentication for logins,
and does not use scripting of any kind. Now that is not to say that you
can't configure a script to do several of the data exchanges which take
place, but mindspring doesn't use log in scripts as part of it's login
and authentication.
In Red Hat 5.1 and in SuSE 6.1, under X, the user merely opens the
configuration tool, inputs the user name, local POP phone number, inputs
the DNS servers for mndspg, selects PAP as the authentication type,
inputs the "secret password" for the account, and clicks on DIAL.
Boom, you're on!
Remember that mindspring's user name consists of
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and that it uses PAP authentication.
There are some linux config info on the support pages of mindspring, but
I didn't need to use ANY of the info there except to know that the
authentication type was PAP.
Good Luck,

You need to be more clear about how you wish to connect the boxes. There is
file services in tcp/ip called ftp, there is the nfs unix file system, there is
novell's file system, there is Mdoze's SMB (samba). Also there is connecting

say i'm in my home dir and all I have in there is a file called
'classes'
(pardon the wrap around, should be 1 line)
% ls -l
-rw-rw-r-- 1 peter peter 606k Aug
10 20:48 classes
you see the first part is '-rw-rw-r--'
the first dash would be used to tell what type of file it is (d
for directory, plain old - for normal file, etc). the next
parts are the file permissions. they are split into 3
categories. user(u), group(g), and other(o). each of those 3
has 3 categories of it's own: read, write, execute.
to make this file writable by anyone, I could type:
%chmod o+w classes
this is because I want to give 'other permission to write.
if I want to make the file not-writable by the group peter (the
group that owns it), I could write:
% chmod g-w classes
so, you see, the command is chmod, then you provide the
category (u,g,o) weather you want to add or subtract a
permission (+,-), and the name of the file (classes in my
case).
I know this was kind of long winded, but I hope it helped.

Yes. My gateway, however, is a 486 8MB ram 100MB hd. I don't think
squid would take that very well. I could configure it to not cache
anything from the parent proxy but that would be silly - simply
consuming resources, when all I really need is to redirect the packets
to an external computer (I think).
If anybody has any idea on how to do this, share, even if you're not
certain if it will work - worst thing is I'll try it and find out it
doesn't work :-)

Yes. Look at xringd and mgetty.

By having his computer email him the IP number or post it to a Web page.

Thanks Gert.
The NT routing table looks exactly than the one you typed here. And the NT
has IP forwarding enable.
Adding some data to the same problem:
I put another system (even windows 95) in the same net where the
cisco router is.
Now, hosts in the internal networks can ping the windows 95 computer, but
still can't ping the cisco. Again, it is like the cisco router
is ignoring any packet if the packet comes from the NT when such packet was
originated by an internal host.
But the cisco works if the packet was originated by the NT itself.(no by an
internal host)
At first sight you could think: Got it! It's the cisco! It's broken or not
properly setup!.
But the problem is that this same cisco router is working with another NT
server, that has the same configuration than the new one I'm trying to build
now. More, this cisco router, and this NT (the old one) are our current
router, and Firewall respectively in our company since many months ago.

Dont think so.
What a 3com 509b (10Mbps isa-nic) _may_ benefit from. Using a
3c5x9cfg.exe in dos.
Is not valid for a 3com 905b (10/100Mbps pci-nic). Using a
3c90xcfg.exe in dos.
Dont have the nic, but it beeing a pci-nic, the values the nic gets is
set by the motherboard bios. And 'turn off booting with pnp-os' is
good thing to set in the motherboard bios. And if your desperate, you
can set the nic to a given irq in some bioses, setting one slot to
have a given irq. Not worth the trouble if you dont have such trouble.
