The solution to this problem is not quite as easy as it seems
;-) That and I like to say that. Basically the problem is SMB
and SMA require a DNS lookup on startup. They start and try to
determine whom you are by NS lookup as configured by Samba (A
Line in smb.conf should list the order it uses to find names,
try adding BCAST if your on a real network) The simplest
method is to configure your box as a self serving DNS, which
should make them load up much more quickly. There is a nice
howto in the LDP, or at redhat.com

Netscape is great for web browsing, but it should
not be used to diagnose network problems.
Have you tried pinging hostnames, as well
as ip addresses to determine if the problem you
are having is a problem with your DNS settings?
Having a static IP does not mean you'll have
a proper connection. Are you gateways and DNS
servers setup properly? If so, what are they?
Have you tried pinging yourself? If you can't
ping yourself (not 127.0.0.1, but your actual
IP, then there is a problem with your
network interface).

Good question. I'd like to know the answere to that and ...
If I had two routable IP's assigned to the unprotected interface on a
firewall, how do I route one of them thru IP Masquerading to the protected
net, changing its IP as needed so the packets arrive at the proper
destination? Is it port forwarding? IP Aliasing?
Hope we both get answere's

Isn't kde 1.1.1pre2 a pre-release of 1.1.1? That
would make 1.1.1 newer than 1.1.1pre2. This is
also why it won't install: rpm only installs
newer packages by default.
If you really want to install 1.1.1pre2, you can
try the following:
rpm -Uvh --force <package>
but I wouldn't recommend it.

Hey Dustin!
I'm not sure I know what you mean, but if I understand you correct, I
think your fault lies in
ppp0 on your 192.168.1.0 net! It looks to me like you've tried to point a
gateway to an IP address
that's not a legal address but a loopback/broadcast.
And if I'm reading your schema "backwards" :), then the subnetmask to
192.168.1.2 is pure broadcast!

Subject: PPP and VPN Problem
Date: Tue, 17 Aug 1999 20:30:30 +1700
Hi Everyone,
I am trying to setup a VPN from my Linux box to a VPN
server, which I believe is an NT box. I am running RedHat
6.0, kernel 2.2.5. I use PPTP-Linux that I downloaded from
http://www.cag.lcs.mit.edu/~cananian/Projects/PPTP/. When I
run it, pppd failed. Here is what's in the log:

Looks like the server is not responding. I tried to upgrade
pppd from 2.3.7 to 2.3.9 and it didn't help. Here is what's
in my /etc/ppp/options:
asyncmap 0xa0000
lock
defaultroute
noaccomp
nomagic
nopcomp
noauth
noipx
noipdefault
kdebug 25

I am able to VPN into the same server using NT. So the
server is not a problem. I tried many combinations of pppd
options without any luck. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Your COrebuilder should have a routing table or have ip forwarding enabled
so that each port knows where to find the others and vice versa.
Then on yuor client you have to tell it that it needs to use the default
gateway address of the CoreBuilderport f.i.
PC 10.0.0.1 should have a default gateway address 10.0.0.254 what will
happen is, if it can't find the address in it's own subnet, the client will
forward that paket to the ip addre 10.0.0.254 (namely the router), the
router will check if it knows the destinations subnet if yes he will
forward it to that interface and done.
Itse simple ;-)

(Sorry I forgot to attache the sample files sorry about that ;-)
I have created a logonscript.pl wich creates Windows logonscripts on the
fly on a per user bases. This means that there are virtualy no problems
anymore for creating complex inlog scripts based upon group memberships.
You can also extend this logonscript.pl to create even more complex
tasks (like I have done such as starting the X-server on the windows
machine and starting sever X application during the inlog process). You
can do anything aslong as the Client can start those applications from a
batch file ;-)
This is done by the use of the
root preexec method in the [netlogon] service wich is started first.
To use this script you should add these changes to your smb.conf file
[global]
logon script = %U.bat
[netlogon]
; This first statement runs de logonscript.pl file with de username as
paramter
root prexec = /usr/local/netlogon/logonscript.pl %U
;This second statement removes the %U.bat file after the user has
disconnected from this share/service
root postexec = rm /usr/local/netlogon/%U.bat
I have attached my own smb.conf and the logonscript.pl
You should alter the $server="PHONAX" constant in to your own server
such as
$server="MYSERVER"; whatever ;-)
Perhaps you should edit the logonscript.pl file to alter the paths of
the group file and the destination path of the %U.bat file. I always use
/usr/local/netlogon

Depends. (obviously)
I have a cable modem for my personal use and an ISDN (2B+D = 128kbps)
line for my connection to my work. Yes, I know how lucky I am - but my
cable bill is as much as a cheap car, so I'm paying for it :)
Anyway, my ISDN line is hooked to a Cisco 700 series router which is VERY
nice. It does dial-on-demand, and I can program under what load
conditions the second line comes up and is torn down. This makes
controlling the cost and bandwidth very easy.
It also means that both methods look like standard 10-baseT TCP/IP
ethernet ports. This is good.
> Is it cost effective?
You have to want it really bad, in my opinion.
Costs for me (Chicago, IL area): $60/mo for cable modem (4 IP addresses
all DHCP), and well over $800/mo ISDN. Thankfully, since it's
work-related, work pays for the ISDN, but it's not cheap. Some regions of
Ameritech have flat-rate ISDN now. Unfortunately, we're not in that zone
now.
In the flat-rate ISDN zones, it's about $80-90/mo "all you can dial" -
except for long-distance charges. This is, in my opinion, very reasonable
given the tariffs on phone service in the States. It will ALWAYS be more
than a cable modem because it can be charged that way. Cable companies
get more from you for their "basic" service, so they can afford to charge
less for the "goodies". At least that's my $0.02 worth.
> How well does it work with

Get an external box like the Cisco 700 series. It does CHAP/PAP so it
should work with anyone really doing ISDN service as an ISP and it's
really beautiful to hook it into a hub and then just have standard
10-baseT run around the house.
Then again, these are just my opinions...
You might want to look into DSL (formerly ADSL) - it's available in some
areas that Cable modems haven't reached and it too, is T1 speed
(1.54Mbps).

The solution was so simple that I overlooked it. All that is needed to
do is to place a fictitious FQDN for the Linux machine in the /etc/hosts
file. See http://home.ubalt.edu/abento/linux/terminal/sendmail-fix.html
