Folks,
I'm running Mandrake 6.0 and started tinkering
with IP Masquerading. No matter what combination
of ipchains command and simple rules I specify,
I's always get the message... Destination host unreachable..
I can ping both machines WIN95<->Linux and vice versa.
I can connect my Linux box to the Internet via a modem-
no problem. From my Linux box I can ping "outside"
addressess- no problem. From my WIn 95 client, I can
ping the private address of my Linux box- no problem.
When connected to the internet, if I ping from my Win95
any outside address ie, my ISP's IP address I'd get
the horrible message. Is ping here filtered? Do
I have to recompile the kernel?
All suggestion are welcome.
Ferdinand

Reply-To: "mikes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I'm trying to configure my firewall so that I can hook up a dumb terminal
(Win95 running Tera Term Pro) and a modem. I have played around with jumper
settings on the modem (USR 28800 Internal Sportster) and finally got a
combination to work.
The modem is set to COM 3 IRQ 4, and ttyS0 is set to 0x3f8.. sorry, don't
know what the IRQ is, guessing that to be IRQ 4 also..
When the modem establishes a connection to my ISP, the dumb terminal slows
way down.. to a point were legible data comes through in chunks at 20-30
second intervals. If I hang up the modem, the dumb terminal suddenly dumps
to the Windows95 computer, like it had a bunch of data stored.
Is there a way (Howto or otherwise) that would show me how to hook up a
Win95 machine running a terminal program, and an internal modem? I think I
might have a problem with IRQs, but I don't know how to configure Linux to
look at different IRQs. Is there such thing as "MSD" for Linux?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

You need to have NIC's, configure ethernet interfaces and use IP masquerading.

Subject: Home network and cable modem
Date: Sun, 15 Aug 1999 03:29:16 GMT
I recently signed up for cable modem service. Now, we have 2 computers, so
I ordered an extra IP address for the other, and attempted to setup a
network so the other computer could have access. The other computer uses
only Win98 and my computer uses Win98, Linux, and Solaris.
I bought the Intel InBusiness 5-Port 10 Mbps hub for our network. I was
told to plug the cable modem into the uplink port on the hub. However, the
hub doesn't have an uplink port. It has only 5 standard ethernet ports.
So, using a crossover cable, I plugged the cable modem into one of the
ports, and the other 2 computers into the next 2 ports. I am able to access
the internet through either computer. The problem is, I can't use both at
the same time. Is this common? Whenever I try and access the internet when
the other computer is on, I get network errors. How can I set it up so that
both computers can access the internet at the same time?
Could it be a problem with how I have the hub set up? Has anyone had
experience with this hub? I could REALLY use any help that you all could
give me in setting this up. Thanks!

Has anyone encountered the following problem:
New Compaq 500 MHz PIII system with RH6.0 installed. RH6.0 overwrites
the MAC address for the Intel EEPro 100+ network card. I've installed
RH6.0 on 4
such machines and in all cases it overwrites the card's original MAC
address to the same address for all 4 machines. RH says this is
impossible.

Can someone tell me if there exists a module for the SN2000 ISA ethernet
card?(and where to download it) Because PnPisa doens't do the job in RH6.0.

Subject: install script problems with lsof
Date: Sun, 15 Aug 1999 00:02:29 -0400
I'm building from source lsof_4.42 and the Makefile requires an install
script. They give the following example:
@echo Your install rule actions might look something'
@echo 'like this:'
@echo ''
@echo ' install -m 4xxx -o root -g <group> $${PROG} $${BIN}'
@echo ' install -m 444 $${MAN} $${DOC}'
And mine looks like this:
install: all FRC
install -m 6550 -o root -g sys $${PROG} $${BIN}
install -m 444 $${MAN} $${DOC}
As suggested I also defined :
BIN= ${DESTDIR}/usr/local/etc
DOC= ${DESTDIR}/usr/man/man8
GRP= sys
They suggested su-ing to root before running make install which I did and I
get:
make install
(cd lib; make DEBUG="-O")
make[1]: Entering directory `~/lsof_4.42/lib'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.

Have you tried the "ne" module that comes with RH 6.0 ?
You could use isapnp tools to configure the irq and i/o port.

Date: Sun, 15 Aug 1999 04:10:10 GMT
Steve: One of the ports should be identified somehow with an imprint of
a crossed connection, whether engraved in the plastic or silk screened
on. This would be the uplink port and would not require a cross over
cable but just the cable from your cable modem to it. The two computers
then would go to any of the other ports. Both computers should be able
to access the internet at the same time and should also be able to
communicate with one another. Have you set up your network and can you
see each other in Network Neighborhood? Have you gone to Intel's
webpage for assistance on this? Networking is not rocket science but it
does involve some common sense thinking about how to do it correctly.
Post back if you can't find the cross over port.

No, it is not a compile time option. If you run any non setuid program,
then the binary will run with your UID and with rights associated with
you. So, for example, if as a non-root user you run a program which
needs to set some system resources you cannot do much since the program
will run with your UID. PPP is a program which needs the suid bit since
it has to bring up the ppp interface and to change the routing table.
(Imagine if anybody could mess with the routing table, or if anybody
could open /dev/hda with fdisk.) If the setuid bit is set on a program,
then the program will run with the privileges of the account which was
used to set the suid bit. If it was root, then the program will have
root rights irrevelant who runs it. (sort of.) The PPP-HOWTO discusses
how to set the setuid bit, and it is a good piece ow writing so I
recommend you to read it.
Setuid can be set with the chmod program. For pppd, it is
chmod u+s /usr/sbin/pppd
executed by root.

What type of cabling it uses. Some cards can use more than one cabling
such as coax or twisted pair. There are cards for which you have to set
it with a vendor provided utility. Under Linux, you can do it with
ifconfig (man ifconfig, and look for "media type").

If you use IP address then the host name info doesn't matter. That
translates a name to IP address.

As a follow on to my earlier message, go to this page for more info on
your hub. It should have an 'X' imprinted by one of the ports,

I don't know what could be causing the crashes, but I believe that
bootup message is normal. It's saying _how_ the math coprocessor (the
FPU) reports errors, if I interpret correctly
Checking 386/387 coupling... OK, FPU using exception 16 error reporting.
I get it too.

Subject: Help on subnetting
Date: Sun, 15 Aug 1999 13:35:15 +0800
Greetings,
Appreciate any help on subnetting a private LAN.
This is my environment: -
1) My LAN consists of 20+ departments, each with about 10 PCs.
2) The LAN consists of only Hubs and Switches in Wiring Closets and our
Computer room, no Routers.
3) All our servers are located in a server farm.
4) All users access 1 or more servers in the server farm
5) I use private Class B address
Questions: -
1) Is it necessary to subnet my environment?
2) Can I subnet even if I've no Routers in my LAN? That is, can subnetting
be deployed in a switched setup? All the documentation I've seen shows only
Routers in their configurations and examples.
3) If subnetting can be done, how should I configure the routing table at
the PC and server ends so that packets will find their way around and back.
4) Can the network portion of an IP address be masked as the host portion?
That is, if I've a Class C address of 192.168.1.0 can is use a mask value of
255.255.0.0?
Thank you in advance.

I've used the "Etherboot" utility - program it into a 32KB Eprom, and
install into the NIC. You'll have to setup Bootp or DHCP and TFTP (I
use the "InCom" server) on the server to assign the IP address and
download the kernel. Make sure the kernel is built to mount the root
over NFS if the client is diskless. It works well on my system, slow
but tolerable for a simple X client. If you're running on a firewall,
be sure to disallow any incoming TFTP connections from outside. And I
had to add a route to make the DHCP response stay on the local net.
