Hi,
I am uncertian from your description as to the how you are setting up
the networking. I suspect that you need to setup a default route to your
network. You can test this by running the following command as root :-
route add default <<eth0 ip address>>
where <<eth0 ip address>> is the IP address used by the network card, from
the info you give, this should be :-
route add default 192.168.0.2
If you can now run nmbd, this is your problem. The change can be made
permanent through linuxconf. When ppp is initialised, it automatically sets
up a default route for you, which then disappears when ppp is terminated.
Hope this helps,
Martin

True. Which is why a binary standard for drivers would be useful then one driver
would do for all operating systems. I don't know if such a thing is possible
though. Maybe there's a way to use the windows drivers ? I still wonder why they
can't release the programming specs, what do they have to lose ?

Subject: Masquerading: 1 subnet, 2 external NICs
Date: Wed, 18 Aug 1999 12:08:12 -0500
I have a somewhat unique situation here, and I was hoping someone out
there in usenet land could help with it.
I have a linux box set up as a firewall/masquerader for a small
internal network
(six workstations). The linux machine has three NIC cards, one for all
traffic on the subnet, one for internet traffic with an IP of 24.6.X.X,
and another for internet traffic, IP 24.235.X.X. Because of the way our
ISP is set up, these two cards have separate gateways.
Now comes my problem. I have yet to find a way to specify a gateway per
device. The default gateway on the box is for the 24.6 card and will
not work for traffic coming out of the 24.235 card. I saw a spot to
specify alternate routes in linuxconf, but it does not specify which
device should use it.
This is truly disheartening. I can't believe windoze actually has an
easier TCP/IP setup! =( Can someone please help me with this? I'm sure
once I know where to look, it will make perfect sense.
Thanks in advance,
Alec Lanter

Subject: Routing a 2nd real IP addr on a home net
Date: Wed, 18 Aug 1999 18:54:15 GMT
< If this message appeared already.. my apologies. I think it got
eaten, I waited a good 3 hours to be sure... >
Okay, here's a situation that's not so common... There's a lot of
background here, the question is relatively short (see the bottom.)
Existing setup: Cablemodem to linux server (with valid external IP
addr), which masquerades for 3 internal hosts on a 10.0.0.0 network.
cablemodem
| (external X.Y.Z.A)
NIC1
server
NIC2
/ \ (10.0.0.0)
comp1 comp2 ....
I want to purchase an additional IP address from my ISP, for use on one
of the internal hosts. (Preferably, any single one at a given time.)
The described setup provided by the ISP for 2 IP addr's at one house is
this:
cablemodem
|
hub
/ \
comp1 comp2
IP#1 IP#2
This implies that the cablemodem broadcasts everything it hears on the
cable network onto the local ethernet. comp1 and comp2, configured
properly, listen for datagrams destined for each of their IP addresses,
similarly they send datagrams originating from their IP addresses.
Problem: I want to leave the topology the same: CM through server to
internal hosts. I want to masquerade for 2 boxes on the 10.0.0.0 net,
and simply forward (incoming and outgoing) for whichever box is
configured to use the new, provided IP address.
Complication: While I can grasp the forwarding rules, in general, my
understanding falls short with respect to whether packets must be
addressed to gateways.
- I want the server to forward packets destined for the *specific IP
address* from the crossover from the cablemodem to the internal network.
However, this IP address may not be on the same subnet. Nor does any
outside router know to send it to the server as a gateway.
Question: Can this linux server (2.0.3x kernel) be configured so that it
will listen for packets destined for this new IP address, and forward
them onto the local network, nomatter whether it is in a different
subnet, nor if this packet is being routed directly to that IP, without
being sent to the server as a gateway? Anything I should be aware of?
Does this behaviour take place automatically if the forwarding rules are
set up on the server?
Thanks in advance,

Name server lookup timeouts are pretty long for good reasons and
you might disable the default start page and add entries for which
you do not want a proxy (all NS).

Do you normally run a web server from your PC, or do you use the PC to

You can have many alias domainnames for an IP address, but only one
primary domainname (the canonical name, or cname). When you look up an
IP only the cname will be returned.

displayservice.com (cname) = shorthair.com = 192.41.43.186
The webserver looks at what domainname you used to access that IP, and
it automatically takes you to the appropriate website (running on the
same server and IP address).

Pardon me while I expose my ignorance....
I have been using netstat -M to see what packets were "in force" to
trigger diald. I have heard that there are ways to get more
sophisticated info on these packets. I heard some reference to
tcpdump. What is that? I guess I am asking how do I isolate the
source of these lookups. And once I do isolate where the packets are
coming from, what files can I modify to resolve the issue. Here are
the ones I know (any help in completing this list would be
appreciated)
/etc/hosts
/usr/lib/diald/standard.filter
I am wondering if my /etc/hosts file is correct. I looked all over
the man pages, and could find no explination for these files. Should
the names be the same names that are in windows?

Subject: RH6.0 and masquerading/ppp problem?
Date: 18 Aug 1999 12:28:09 -0700
I'm running a firewall with RH6.0 using IP Masquerading on a dialup
ppp connection. From a machine on my internal network (also running
RH6.0), if I start, say, reading a news active file and then do a
ping, I get a lot of messages about byte 8 not being correct and the
packet ultimately being considered lost. This only seems to happen
when I'm saturating the dialup connection. Less often, ppp0 will
screw up: if I ping, I can see the packet go out on the modem and then
something coming back, but all the packets seem to be getting dropped
and the connection is pretty much useless.
Has anyone else seen this?

i am not sure about this but i think this would make sense:
- a network data packet arrives
- the computer executes the handler (interrupt) to process that data
packet
- while still working that handler a new interrupt comes in
**i think it would be the other card, since that card's interrupt is
disabled while
in the handler --me thinks--**
- the first data packet is lost since a new one arrived and hasn't been
completly read out
there is a kernel option (under networking i think) something like
'computer too slow to handle full bandwidth' you may wanna try using
that one

on a sidenote: i also use a 486, 33mhz, 16mb for routing and masq'ing

Well, NFS is based on Sun RPC.
There's a GSS-based RPC security mechanism. Kerberos ships with some
code, but it's not quite in spec. (Of course, in order to ship a GSS
RPC implementation, Kerberos ships an RPC implementation. It may not
be easy to make it play nicely with your existing RPC implementation.)
That still leaves open the question of what principal on the client
side is doing the authenticating. Using a per-host principal would
probably be easiest. (You'd still need some hook to get the session
data into the kernel.) Doing it per-user means you'd need multiple
sessions per host pair (one for each user on the client -- don't want
your data protected using my password), and still some means of
dealing with client-side users (e.g., root) that don't have tickets.
IPSEC might be another possibility.

Subject: Routing..
Date: Wed, 18 Aug 1999 19:45:39 GMT
I have two gateways on one subnet. The first is the company's internet
firewall and has the address 192.168.1.1. The second connects this
subnet with the other subnets and has the address 192.168.1.2. Also,
192.168.1.2 uses 192.168.1.1 as the default route.
Now, machines on the other subnets are not able to access the
internet. Also, windows machines are only able to access the internet
if they have 192.168.1.1 as the default route. What do I need to
change in order for all machines to access both the internet and the
other subnets? Following are examples for the routing tables of

Maybe for a 14.4 modem... but for a 56k, I can run pretty close to
full steam with 1500.

Thanks for the fast reply!
Because of potential timeouts due to DNS lookups, I have my home page
set to blank (it used to be set to a local page). This had no effect
and the delay still has been there. In terms of proxy, I have Netscape
configured to Direct Connect to Internet rather than use a proxy - is
this
what you meant?

I can answer the first one, because I don't know how with
RedHat 6, since I hardly ever log into my computer
as root, except to install something.
As for rlogin, its just like any other unix host
running rlogin. You have to have a .rlogin direction
in your home directory that lists the "trusted" hosts
you are allowed to connect from.
This entails that the host you connect from
and connect to both use the same username.
I'm assuming your doing this all on a private
network that has __NO__ outside connection, since
both questions pretty much are the biggest
security holes known to man.
