you sure can. Squid is one of the best proxies about - much
better (IMHO) than MS Proxy. It's pretty easy to set up (I
managed it, and I'm a relative newbie). Have a look at the
Squid web site

Hi A Chawla,
I am running into the same problem you have. I am running Red Hat Linux
release 5.2 (Apollo)
Kernel 2.0.36 on an i486. I have two network cards and they work fine
independently but no together!
If I modify my conf.modules to say
[josue@linuxdev /]$ cat /etc/conf.modules
alias eth0 ne
#alias eth1 ne
#options ne io=0x300, 0x240
options ne io=0x240
#options ne io=0x300
I get io=0x240 working on irq 11; if I do change the file to:
[josue@linuxdev /]$ cat /etc/conf.modules
alias eth0 ne
#alias eth1 ne
#options ne io=0x300, 0x240
#options ne io=0x240
options ne io=0x300
then, I get the other card working perfectly on irq 5. If I try to do this:
[josue@linuxdev /]$ cat /etc/conf.modules
alias eth0 ne
alias eth1 ne
options ne io=0x300, 0x240
#options ne io=0x240
#options ne io=0x300
It seems my system does not recognize eth1 as a valid device.
I boot from a floppy, and I would like to try the append="ether=5,0x300,eth0
ether=11,0x240,eth1" at LILO. I did try:
LILO: linux ether=5,0x300,eth0 ether=11,0x240,eth1
at the LILO command prompt, but it did not work. My systems lilo.conf is
very similar to the floppy's:
[josue@linuxdev /]$ cat /etc/lilo.conf
boot=/dev/hdc1
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36-0.7
label=linux
root=/dev/hdc1
read-only
other=/dev/hda1
label=ntdev
table=/dev/hda
Where should I include the append="ether=..." line??? I did try:
[josue@linuxdev /]$ cat /etc/lilo.conf
boot=/dev/hdc1
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
append="ether=5,0x300,eth0 ether=11,0x240,eth1"
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36-0.7
label=linux
root=/dev/hdc1
read-only
other=/dev/hda1
label=ntdev
table=/dev/hda
but, it did not work.
Thanks in adavance.

If you plan on using IP masquerading (to make it look like your intranet
traffic is coming from the valid IP addy of your modem) you will have to have ip
forwarding enabled. Don't forget that on newer kernels (2.2 for sure, possible
2.1) it's not a compile option. Instead use:
echo 1 >> /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
to enable it.
However, you _do_ have to have IP Masquerading in your kernel. Don't forget
to enable IP_ALWAYS_DEFRAG to close up some security holes.
Good luck!

Hi,

The users have to remount the directories but then the message "invalid

A DNS Caching Only Server caches information that it looks up but controls
no records of it's own. Basically, it looks up records on higher level
servers and holds that info for a TTL in memory to provide if it's needed
again. If the higher level servers don't have records on your local network
you can't get them.

Hi W,
I've recently tried somethiing like that myself and after I read loads
of howtos and all I settled with a IPMASQ solution.
Depending on your kernel you'll use ipfwadm (2.0) or ipchains (2.2)

Exchange can be setup to act as a POP3 or IMAP server, allowing you to

for POP).
You can also use (if it's configured) the web interface to exchange to
read your mail. Contact the exchange admin for details.

Setup the gateway machine with a firewall that only allows connections
to these two places, ie:
ipchains -P forward DENY
ipchains -A forward -S 192.168.1.0/24 -D www2.fakename.com 80 -j ACCEPT
ipchains -A forward -S 192.168.1.0/24 -D smtp.fakename.com 25 -j ACCEPT
Obviously, replace 192.168.1.0/24 with the relevant address/mask for
your network.

I would suggest, that you do some reading about
basic networking with linux.
For example the NETWORK-OVERVIEW-HOWTO, or NET-3-HOWTO, or similiar
to get used to this really "wide area" .

Subject: newbie ifconfig/eth question
Date: Wed, 18 Aug 1999 18:28:58 GMT
Question ... I'm trying to learn to talk the talk here ...
My rc.local file has entries to define multiple IP interfaces on eth0.
e.g.:
/sbin/ifconfig eth0:3 207.44.26.132 netmask 255.255.255.128
/sbin/route add -host 207.44.26.132 dev eth0:3
/sbin/ifconfig eth0:4 207.44.26.133 netmask 255.255.255.128
/sbin/route add -host 207.44.26.133 dev eth0:4
/sbin/ifconfig eth0:5 207.44.26.134 netmask 255.255.255.128
/sbin/route add -host 207.44.26.134 dev eth0:5
/sbin/ifconfig eth0:6 207.44.26.135 netmask 255.255.255.128
/sbin/route add -host 207.44.26.135 dev eth0:6
My question is what exactly the number following eth0: represents
(e.g., eth0:3, eth0:4)?? Obviously it is used to allow one to bind
multiple IPs to a NIC. What would we call these numberings?
Bindings? Binding instances? I'm just looking for some terminology
here (plus any explanation).
Thanks,
Matthias

What exactly do you mean by you don't want to "subnet" the Win box? If
you're going to be plugging the Linux box into the cable modem, then
you're going to have assign that box the Win box's IP address, and
assign the Win box one of private Intranet IP addresses. The private
intranets are the ones that have IP addresses of 192.168.x.x (there are
a couple of other IP address ranges reserved for intranets, but the
192.168.x.x ranges are all that you'll need).
The Linux box will act in place of the Win box on the real IP address
that the cable modem provider assigned you, and pass (route) all
packets back to the Win box, through the intranet addresses.
The only way you can let the Win box keeps its own real IP address is
to also obtain a real IP address for your Linux box, and at that point,
you no longer have a client/server arrangement, but a peer-peer
arrangment, and the Linux box can no longer do any filtering for your
Win box because they are both going to the Internet independently.

The Linux box excels at filtering packets.

Are you sure ? ISA and autoprobe do not exclude each other. I'm using
cheap NE2000 clones in old 486 class systems (with ISA busses) and all
of the cards get autoprobed at boot.
Trying won't hurt. [1]

Certainly.

NFS-Howto, NFS-Root and NFS-Root-Client should do the trick. As well
as /linux_source_tree/Documentation/nfsroot.txt

What about a simple floppy disk ? Admitted, it isn't really "diskless"
then but your kernel for the client will typically be less than 300k
and load fast enough. Easier to handle than a boot ROM if you've never
done this before, "already there", and no DHCP, TFTP or BOOTP worries.
Just RARP should be enough.

Hi All,
This message is for people who have successfully got their Linksys
Etherfast 10/100 LAN cards working properly under RedHat Linux 6.0.
Could you please send in your BIOS settings for PCI/PnP, please also
let me know the release of the tulip.c driver that you are using if
different from the one used during the Linux installation. Also, please
let me know what you had to do, if any to get the card working.
The problem that I have is that the kernel see's the card but I have
not been able to ping any host on the same subnet. When I try this, I
get this continuous transmission time out error message. I was able to
ping the IP address of the card from the PC that it is on. When I do a
netstat -in, I see packets going through the loopback interface and
transmission errors for all packets that were sent to the card (eth0)
for outbound transmission.
