Sunil,
I set my system up also according to the IP-Masquerading HOWTO (not quite the
latest, but 1.76).
I get:
[root@linux /root]# ipfwadm -F -ln
IP firewall forward rules, default policy: deny
type prot source destination ports

My Linux box is used purely as a gateway to the internet.
Note that I don't appear to need a gateway.
The host with address 255.255.255.255 is needed to make dhcpd work.
My private network is 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
My ISP's network is 216.62.152.0 netmask 255.255.248.0 (I haven't figured out
why I get an extra entry with netmask 255.255.255.0 - anybody out there
know?).
The IP address of the Linux box on my private network is 192.168.2.1 - this
is the address my Win9x boxes use as their default gateway.
Looking at your routing table, I would say that the first entry looks
suspicious (should be eth0, not eth1?).
What is the network 224.0.0.0 ?

Subject: newbie problems installing 2nd nic
Date: Sat, 21 Aug 1999 19:46:05 -0400
Yet another newbie question....
I'm having a hell of a time installing my second NIC. For some reason it's
not showing up in dmesg and ifconfig, etc.
configuration:
SuSE Linux 6.1 (kernal v2.2.7) on IBM PC 330 (P75)
two Intel EtherExpress Pro (ISA) 352118-xxx PRO/10 ISA
DHCP cable modem
I've already deactivated the PnP on both NICs and I know they're both fine
because they show up ok in softset2. I had no trouble installing the first
NIC as eth0, then appended the line "ether=0,0,eth1" to the lilo.conf file.
This should have worked fine, but no. The ifconfig output lists the dummy0,
eth0, and lo just fine, but no eth1 or in dmesg.
Any help much appreciated.

Date: Sat, 21 Aug 1999 20:34:09 -0500
using a w98 box with Sygate installed as a proxy/gateway server. I can use
Sygate for windows box's without installing a client, by using the dhcp
server Sygate uses and setting apps to proxy use with the w98 box as the
gateway.
I should be able to set up the linux box to do the same, while i can setup
accounts on the linux box to ftp into and all the other boxs can use the
linux box, the linux box is the only one that can't seem to ping or
traceroute any further then the ISP's primary DNS. I know the solution has
to be simple but it's eluding me, (think I am to close to the problem to see
the solution).
any ideas or help would be appreciated

Subject: Re: NCD X-Terminal: Asking Linux for XDMCP session
Date: Sun, 22 Aug 1999 01:51:12 GMT
In order for Linux to answer an XDMCP query (or even XDMCP broadcast) it must be
running xdm. On RH5.2 simply change the default run level from 3 to 5 and xdm
will startup automatically on bootup.
If your not familiar with how to change your default run level on Linux.... BTW:
On Redhat, run level 3 is multiuser (without X), run level 5 is multiuser (with
X)
edit /etc/inittab and look for the following line.
id:3:initdefault:
change it to
id:5:initdefault:
at the bottom of /etc/intitab should be a line that looks similar to the
following.
x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/X11/xdm -nodaemon
make sure it is there and un-commented. After you make these changes to
inititab, you can either reboot your system, or simply type telinit 5, to switch
from the current run level to run level 5.

What kind of cable are you using? If it's less than CAT5 you might
experience problems.
In my office, they originally wired the building with CAT3 cable, which
worked O.K. (sort of) for 10Mbps.
Now it's going to cost $25,000 to rewire the place if they want to go to
100Mbps!

You're not getting any bites so I'll venture this example from the
printcap of a Linux box I once set up on a Unix network:
# ***The following entry works.
lwdown|LWDOWN|down|DOWN|Portrait LaserJet 4v Downstairs:\
lp=:rm=gator.okefenokee.com:\
sd=/var/spool/gator/lwdown:\
lf=/usr/spool/gator/lwdown/errs:\
rp=lwdown
The gator box is the machine with the printer and it wasn't a Linux box.
It took me a long time to get an entry that worked, I don't know whether
it's applicable in your situation.

First, be sure whatever you want to see on your windows machine is
shared. Then using smbmount:
/usr/sbin/smbmount //winbox/c /mnt/win/c -U <winusername> -P <winpasswd>
Where //winbox/c is what you'd normally use under DOS as \\winbox\c, and
/mnt/win/c is any old mount point on your Linux file system.
Be sure to have an empty, but existing, /mnt/win/c (or wherever you
choose) just as you would any other mount point.
