Subject: IPchains crazy
Although I received help from several people things are still are not
working.
Internet <-> Linux RH 6.0 <-> Win98
(eth1:1.2.3.4)
(eth0:192.168.1.1 <-> (192.168.1.2)
Ip masquerade intstalled and browsing from the win machine goes well.
But when I try to play Setllers from the winmachine I can not get
connected.
In fact Bluebyte has a script to adjust the MS-proxy settings, but he I
am using LINUX...
I know the ports that are used and I tried to set IPCHAINS like this:
Chain input (policy ACCEPT):

Date: Sat, 14 Aug 1999 11:56:05 +0100
I posted a question to this newgroup last week about a problem I had
with my IP-masq clients trying to resolve hostnames forever when I had
no net connection.
It was suggested that I set up a caching DNS server to try and fix it,
which I've now done. Alas, I'm getting the same problem still.
Is there any way I can set named/bind (v8) to timeout more quickly if my
PPP connection is unavailable?
I had also thought on adding/removing a firewall rule for DNS when the
connections is made and broken, but this seems a fairly inelegant way of
doing it...
Any help or pointers much apprectiated...
Billy.

Subject: PPP/ISDN problems
Date: Sat, 14 Aug 1999 12:49:50 BST
Reply-To: Jade Weatherill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I've got a RH 5.2 linux server which acts as a proxy and DNS to some PCs on
a network using a 192.168.x.y address.
I configured PPPd and chat to dialup using an external 33K modem and it all
works perfectly with my demon dialup account. I get 0% packet loss when I
ping demons web server.
I then had an ISDN line installed and bought a USR 64K external TA, edited
the chat script accordingly. It dials up perfectly and sets up a route and
it all works, except its intolerably slow. I get at least a 50% packet loss
pinging the same server.
I rang demon they suggested another 'phone number and changing the mtu and
mru to 576. It *may* have made it *slightly* less bad.
Why should it work perfectly with the modem and not the external TA which is
essentially exactly the same as modem. All I changed was the chat script.
When pinging an external site I can see the RX and TX lights flashing
accordingly and I can see that only about 50% of the TXs get an RX when
pinging. It's almost like the remote sites are not responding. Could half
my pings be malformed? When pinging it really seems like one works then the
next not then the next works and so on - almost a pattern.
Can anyone help?
I've tried reinstalling on another PC and it did not work. I've try under
win 95 and it works perfectly so it must be a linux thing.
Any help is appreciated, thank you.

I tried Gnus <URL:http://www.gnus.org> with nnimap

I think it may require pgnus (the pre-release Gnus), however.

Subject: Re: ipmasqadm error
Date: Sat, 14 Aug 1999 12:09:31 GMT
Since you did not post what distribution you are using, I'm going to
reference RH6.0 as an example.
Hope this helps
Steve Cowles
SWCowles at gte dot net
First, there is no reason to recompile the kernel to get ipmasqadm to work
(if you are using RH6.0). Unfortunately, the folks at RedHat seemed to have
conveniently forgotten to include the ipmasqadm command and its libs with
the distribution<groan>. I had to download/compile/install ipmasqadm. Just
ipmasqadm, not the kernel.
With the above in mind, did you first load the "portfw" module? RedHat
includes this module with 6.0 in the /lib/modules/<kernel rev>/ipv4
directory.
[scowles@voyager scowles]$ cd /lib/modules/2.2.5-22/ipv4
[scowles@voyager ipv4]$ ls -l
total 74
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10516 Jun 2 08:06 ip_gre.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4800 Jun 2 08:06 ip_masq_autofw.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2616 Jun 2 08:06 ip_masq_cuseeme.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4724 Jun 2 08:06 ip_masq_ftp.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3668 Jun 2 08:06 ip_masq_irc.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6188 Jun 2 08:06 ip_masq_mfw.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4816 Jun 2 08:06 ip_masq_portfw.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3168 Jun 2 08:06 ip_masq_quake.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5228 Jun 2 08:06 ip_masq_raudio.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5168 Jun 2 08:06 ip_masq_user.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3044 Jun 2 08:06 ip_masq_vdolive.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8624 Jun 2 08:06 ipip.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5720 Jun 2 08:06 rarp.o
Second, are the ipmasqadm "libs" installed and available to ipmasqadm? When
I downloaded/compiled/installed ipmasqadm they ended up in
/usr/lib/ipmasqadm. ipmasqadm will "look" for the associated lib based on
the first command line argument passed to it. i.e.
ipmasqadm portfw bla bla bla
Plus, if I remember right... the "make install" (for ipmasqadm) runs
ldconfig to update the "run-time link bindings" so that the ipmasqadm libs
can be properly located.
[scowles@voyager ipv4]$ cd /usr/lib/ipmasqadm
[scowles@voyager ipmasqadm]$ ls -l
total 36
-rwx------ 1 root root 8344 Jun 19 21:12 autofw.so
-rwx------ 1 root root 8792 Jun 19 21:12 mfw.so
-rwx------ 1 root root 9465 Jun 19 21:12 portfw.so
-rwx------ 1 root root 7688 Jun 19 21:12 user.so
If the above conditions are satisfied, ipmasqadm should work <I know, famous
last words!>. Anyway, the following is a cut/paste from my rc.firewall file
that I constructed for my system. Only the relevant parts for ipmasqadm are
listed.
# Add additional module support for autofw, mfw and portfw
# ${MODPROBE} ip_masq_autofw
# ${MODPROBE} ip_masq_mfw
${MODPROBE} ip_masq_portfw

Subject: please help can't see the host when bridging
Date: Sat, 14 Aug 1999 12:14:37 GMT
I have followed the bridging mini-howto word for word except i have
given one interface an ip. When I give both interfaces an IP only
people on the hub connected to the interface which is brought up first
can see the host but the rest of the network can talk easily. If i
bring the interfaces up in a different order the problem reverses.
I have tried with both interfaces having and IP, on interface having an
IP and none having an ip but giving one an alias. No matter what I seem
to do only one half of the network can see the host at one time.
The closest I have come to getting it to work is giving my interfaces
192.168.1.1 and 192.168.2.1 and having the people on one side have an
ip coresponding to the interface. This option is less desirable but
also has problems. The people on the side of the interface brought up
first can ping the host and everyone else but the people on the second
interface can ping the host but not the people on the other side. I
then changed the subnets on all windows machines to 255.255.0.0 and
pinging worked fine, but they were unable to browse using smb on any
computer with a different subnet. Upping the subnet on the linux host
returns me to the original problem of only one side seeing the host.
Can anyone help me either fix my problem with the second solution and
samba or help fix the first one(that is the prefered option as i'd like
not to have to change the subnet). If so please reply or email me

Thanks, I'd quite forgotten that I needed /usr/binduring boot up as

You might also add the gateway in /etc/hosts , like
166.104.88.1 mygateway.mydomain.whatever mygateway
and make sure /etc/nsswitch.conf reads files before dns for resolving
hosts if you really want to see names instead of IP's ...

Ipfwadm also don't fix the packets, if you have your transparent proxy at
your gateway. As far as I know, Squid supports somehow transparent proxy, so
it determines somehow the IP address of the server to send requests. (I
don't know how it determines it.)

I have been using a 4-port card from Byterunner since some time

interrupt sharing. I don't know how it will perform under full load, I have
only a UPS and some terminals connected to it.

I have small LAN setup that includes a DHCP server, DNS server, internal Web

I use a Redhat 6.0 box as my firewall/router (IPCHAINS). I manually connect

How can I set it up so if a computer on the LAN needs to connect to the

You don't want to assign your local IP address to the interface that

I would suggest calling it from /etc/rc.d/rc.local (the last one

BTW I couldn't quite understand what you really want to do. If you want
to connect internet, get your dynamic IP address, and post it to
yourself -say- at work (so that you can access your home-www from
internet), then this scheme wouldn't achieve it: Because you are
grepping out your IP address *before* connecting internet and getting
your real/dynamic IP address.
If this is the case, I would fire up pppd from within rc.local, get my
dynamically assigned IP address from within /etc/ppp/ip-up, and post
relevant info to my-other-self *after* that.
Note: /etc/ppp/ip-up script is auto-called by pppd upon link
establishment. pppd also passes a lot of useful info (IP adresses, tty
device etc.) as env. variables to this script, so you don't need to grep
it out of ifconfig. See man pppd for this.
If your goal is something else, please tell us in more detail.
Good luck

I've run dozens of machines with these cards under Linux with no problems.
Nor have I ever needed upgraded drivers for any distribution from RedHat 5.0
on. In fact, I've got a machine at work that's been running for about 200 days
straight doing serious network work (running as a news server among other
things) running RH 5.0 with a 3c905 in it. The uptime would have been a year
but there was a power failure that outlasted the UPS batteries.

Jay,
Have you checked the system message log's for clues? I have seen where a
resource conflict could cause a device to misbehave, which might get
reported in /var/log/messages.
