I have successfully "beaten" Windows into submission without running DNS.
My filter rules are included below. I think all the things changed from
the original are marked with my initials (RCP).
The diald filter rules are enough to keep Win95/98 in check but I still
have a problem with a WIn2000 beta. I had to include a few ipchains rules
to fix that (the fix is overkill since the Win2000 system is effectively
cut off from the internet). The ipchain rules are also included below.
diald filters:
===========================================================================
# --- start of rule set proper ---
# When initiating a connection we only give the link 15 seconds initially.
# The idea here is to deal with possibility that the network on the opposite
# end of the connection is unreachable. In this case you don't really
# want to give the link 10 minutes up time. With the rule below
# we only give the link 15 seconds initially. If the network is reachable
# then we will normally get a response that actually contains some
# data within 15 seconds. If this causes problems because you have a slow
# response time at some site you want to regularly access, you can either
# increase the timeout or remove this rule.
accept tcp 30 tcp.syn
# Keep named xfers from holding the link up
ignore tcp tcp.dest=tcp.domain
ignore tcp tcp.source=tcp.domain
# (Ack! SCO telnet starts by sending empty SYNs and only opens the
# connection if it gets a response. Sheesh..)
accept tcp 5 ip.tot_len=40,tcp.syn
# keep empty packets from holding the link up (other than empty SYN packets)
ignore tcp ip.tot_len=40,tcp.live
# make sure http transfers hold the link for 2 minutes, even after they end.
# NOTE: Your /etc/services may not define the tcp service www, in which
# case you should comment out the following two lines or get a more
# up to date /etc/services file. See the FAQ for information on obtaining
# a new /etc/services file.
accept tcp 600 tcp.dest=tcp.www
accept tcp 600 tcp.source=tcp.www
# Once the link is no longer live, we try to shut down the connection
# quickly. Note that if the link is already down, a state change
# will not bring it back up.

# and uncomment the following two rules.
#accept tcp 120 tcp.dest=tcp.ftp-data

# Note that you should not make the timeout shorter than the time you

REJECT udp ------ 192.168.0.102 0.0.0.0/0 * -> 53
REJECT tcp ------ 192.168.0.102 0.0.0.0/0 * -> 137:139
REJECT udp ------ 192.168.0.102 0.0.0.0/0 * -> 137:139
(192.168.0.102 is the pesky Win2000 system that won't shut up.)
I think the udp rule for port 53 is the only one really needed.

That depends on your needs. ISDN modems are nearing the price of
regular modems, but they still incur a $100-$200 monthly charge on top
of your normal phone bill. So you decide for yourself if it's cost
effective.

Wise ones:
I have just installed Redhat 6.0 and am having trouble getting PPP to
run with my ISP at 56K. I can dial into a 33K modem pool and all is
fine.
When I try the 56 CHAT is happy and PPPD reports that he has
established
a link. Within 5-10 seconds pppd reports the modem has disconnected
and
I see no texts with send/receive IP adresses as I do when the 33K
syncs up.
The 56K dialin server has a different welcome banner 3 lines (vs. 2
for the 33)
and a different textual announcement of the send/receive IP
addresses. I am
able to dialin with minicom and sit for 20+ seconds before my ISP
drops me for not
negotiating the PPP startup (I guess).
Anyone help on this one, Redhat says "they don't support configuration
issues": so
what did I pay for, anyway?
Thanks in advance/

It should come with your distribution, providing it's relatively
recent. When I got my 3C905, I had to download a patch to go with my
2.0.35 kernel (Slackware 3.? I forget which). That was a few years
ago and I believe the code has been integrated into the release. Any
2.2.x kernel should have it already.

Hi all,
Now surely this may have been asked before, but the
FAQ pointed me to a web site that no longer existed.
My question is, how does one get started on a linux kernel
project?
i.e. Who coordinates everything, what are the projects
that need to be done for the next release etc etc. If
someone could point me to a web site or such
that has all this info that would be great.
Many Thanks,

Subject: Problems with EEPRO.O driver for Linux
Date: Wed, 18 Aug 1999 18:10:31 -0500
I have a Compaq Elite 486 Dx4/75 Notebook that is set in a docking station
with a Ethernet interface built into the docking station. Because of this
I tried every driver I could find and none would work. I found out through
looking in the Windows '95 Registry (by the way, the card works perfect in
Windows) that Windows was using a driver for the Intel Etherexpress Pro.
I had installed the new version of Redhat 6.0 on this machine, and I chose
the eepro.o module for the network card. Everything comes up fine, and the
network software initializes everything fine, and doesn't complain.
However, when I try to reach another server on my network, I cannot. I do
a ping test and I can see the packets going out to the hub and to the
server I am pinging, but nothing seems to come back. When I try to do a
ping test to the Compaq machine from another server, again I can see my
packets going out over the network, but the Comapq never sees the incoming
traffic, and so it doesn't respond. I noticed something unusual also,
whenever I shutdown the machine, and the shutdown script does a "ifconfig
eth0 down", I get a message "eth0: set Rx to 1 address", which I have
never seen before on any of the 7 other servers on the network. Somehow
the data being received through the Ethernet Card is not being passed to
the machine. Is there something wrong with the way I set things up? I used
the following commands to install the module:
"insmod /lib//modules/2.2.5-15/net/eepro.o io=0x300 irq=3"
By the way , what should the value for the "mem" setting in the options
list be when installing the driver. I could not find documentation
on this anywhere, so I do not even include this option when I load the
driver. I wonder if this could be my problem? Could anyone give me some
insight as to what the acceptable values are, or how I can find out? Any
help you could give me would be greatly appreciated. There may be other
problems, as this is Compaq's implementation of the card.
Thanks,
Joe Wyatt

I think the answere is YES. I also think there may be some caviats. The new
IP should have a different network address than your old assigned IP. I
think that will be required for proper routing. I have seen messages on
this news group that indicate that more than one IP can be assigned to a
NIC, but I am not sure of the HOW. Probably makes use of 'ifconfig'.

I had the exact same problem with dial up connections.
As soon as you start netscrape it tries to resolve
home.netscape.com, and since you aren't connected to the net it can't be
resolved, causing netscape to get very confused. My guess is that
either your DNS, or an attempt at reaching your ISP's DNS (nonexistent)
is what causes the time delay. Note when you hang up with netscape
open, it comes up with the TCP error every say, 15 seconds? Now try
resolving something with "host" and it takes forever before coming back
host not found.
The solution: Dial up and establish the connection first. Then
start netscape.

I hope this will help, as I just set up a similar system in the past
few days. I'm running Suse 6.1, 2.2.10, so I'm not sure about the diffs
with Caldera.
I have two nics in my fw box. One to my xDSL modem, one to my
intranet. I let the os configure one nic with an internal IP addy
(192.168...) The xDSL connection I use assigns IPs via DHCP. Go get
yourself the latest dhcpd package, build and install it.
With Suse you just use YaST to turn on dhclient, you'll have to do the
same for Caldera. Don't use the dhcp server! I then had to tweak the boot
script for dhclient to configure the right device. The way it is now, when
I boot, dhclient automatically gets the ethx device address and the gateway
address (from the provider in my case) and puts it in the routing table.
You'll have to get your DNS servers from your provider, and put those in
/etc/resolv.conf. These will be the same numbers that windoze gives you (I
tried it out under win first as well.) Also, on your box, do NOT have a
default gateway; let dhcp set that up for you.
Then, for the other pc's on your net (I'll assume Linux), set the
default gw to your outgoing box. On mine I first have them check my
internal DNS server, then the ones given by your ISP. Typically your first
outside name resolve will take a minute, but it will eventually get it from
the "backup" nameservers. If you aren't running DNS, just use the ISP's
DNS numbers.
Next, build a new kernel. Include IP masquerading, and
IP_ALWAYS_DEFRAG, all the firewalling stuff, etc, plus whatever you
normally need. Turn on IP forwarding (I'm assuming a 2.2 level kernel!)
with "echo >> 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"
Then, somewhere in your boot sequence, set up ipchains to masquerade
your internal net's packets with:
ipchains -P forward DENY
ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.2.0/24 -j MASQ
plus whatever other rules you'd like to set up.
Of course, replace 192.168... with your internal addy and subnet (the
/24, for class C's)
Magically, you now have a firewall/masquerade box that will "route"
your internal traffic to the outside world and back. You may have to set
up Netscrape to use a proxy, but you'll have to get the details from your
specific ISP. If they tell you to just uses automatic, get the exact proxy
server and port number anyway, because I had to do it manually, for both
win and Linux. (In netscrape, goto preferences/advanced/proxies and you'll
see what I mean about manual config. It's easy.)
You may have to reboot a couple times, 1) to get the new fw/masq kernel
going, and 2) to test each part of the config, from your internal eth card,
to the dhcp. Check this with your boot msgs and ifconfig. Check your
kernel routing table with route -n to make sure dhcp gets the gateway
correctly.
If you're not using a network, just stick to the dhclient and firewall
stuff.
Sorry I can't be specific about Caldera, I've never used it.
Good luck!

Install 2 ethernet cards in the linux box.
On the cable-modem side, give it any old IP address and additionally have it
proxy arp for the assigned address.
On the inside, give it some address like 10.0.0.1.
Turn on forwarding on the linux box.
Configure the Windows box to use 10.0.0.1 as its gateway, and the assigned
address as its IP address.
Add a static route on the linux box pointing to the assigned address on the
inside interface.
Presto, transparent firewall with one routable address. Works fine for me.
