Hi.
I installed SuSe Linux 6.1 with kernel 2.2.7 a few weeks ago and it works
just fine. There is only on problem. I want to use two machines on one IP.
I have two ethernet cards installed on the linux machine and one ethernet
card on a laptop running on NT. I want the NT machine to get access to the
Internet through
the linux machine. I have read different HOWTO�s but I dont really know
where to start. I dont know if have to use routed, named or if I have to buy
a hub.
Thanks

I've seen at least two different versions of the FA310TX.
The original version used the DEC 21140 chip. I've bought, and used,
a bunch of these over the years, with very good results. The
"tulip.c" driver in the kernel works well, although you may want to
update to the latest version.
Starting about a year ago, Netgear switched over to an FA310TX design
which uses an OEM'ed Lite-On PNIC chip with a Netgear part number.
Although the PNIC is supposed to be Tulip-compatible, and it _mostly_
works with the Tulip driver, there are some definite problems.
The biggest problem of which I'm aware, appears to be due to a bug in
some versions of the PNIC chip. Under conditions of heavy load - and
especially if collisions are occurring - the chip's receiver logic
gets confused, and dumps a whole bunch of gibberish into memory. The
Tulip driver does not deal gracefully with this situation, and tends
to cease receiving anything at all from the card. It's necessary to
restart the card (ifconfig down, ifconfig up, reestablish routes) to
get it working again.
I've also read reports of the PNIC-based FA310TX failing to receive
ARP responses immediately after transmitting an ARP. Looks like a
race condition of some sort.
I cannot recommend buying the PNIC-based version of the FA310TX due to
these problems, and to Netgear's failure to respond adequately to
reports of these problems.
If Netgear has switched their production to the 21143, that would be a
Good Think (in my opinion) and I'd love to see and test one of these
cards.

Hi all,
Running RH6.0 / kernel 2.2.5-15 / Samba-2.0.3-8 and I got this weird thing
going on.
Everytime I make a connection from my Win98-box, on the Linux-box I get:

These error-messages keep bleeding through which is annoying, but everything

Looks like my server is not accepting the SMTP connection and thus try for
my service provider ( 205.142.28.17) whose preference is 30.. as in the case
of the hotmail error message.
Is the problem with my service provider or my server. Does my server need to
relay to recieve mails. How do you make a linux server relay ? My server is
definetly running sendmail at port 25 as deamon .
Can anybody tell me whats happening ????

Subject: IP Masquerading Challenge
Date: Mon, 23 Aug 1999 18:20:02 GMT
Greetings!
I know that the IP Masquerading issue has been beaten to a pulp, but
after browsing the newsgroups all weekend long and having no fewer than
four people over to my house to try and help me figure things out - all
to no avail, I am acquiescing and posting here, in hopes that you guys
can help me out.
Here's my situation:
I'm running RedHat 6 at home as a firewall running IP Masquerading.
Until this weekend, I had only one other machine on this network, a
Windows 95 box set to 192.168.1.2. My little network has worked
flawlessly for quite a few months this way.
I want to start learning how to use NT (it will help my situation at
work), so this weekend I installed NT on a machine, configured it to
192.168.1.3 and hooked it up. It didn't work. After a number of hours
of struggling, I decided to hook up my one other machine (another
Windows 95 box), figuring maybe I just didn't know what I was doing
with NT.
I configured the fourth machine at 192.168.1.4 (all other settings
identical to the 1.2 box, which is working). It didn't work either.
All of my Windows machines (including the NT box) can ping each other.
Only one machine, however, can ping the Linux box - the 1.2 machine
that is working. I'm at my wits end. HELP!
Here is what the entry in my rc.local looks like:
ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
/sbin/depmod -a
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_raudio
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_irc
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_cuseeme
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_vdolive
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_autofw
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_mfw
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_portfw
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_quake
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_user
ipchains -P forward DENY
ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQ
His what my netstat -r says:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window
irtt Iface
24.6.163.155 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0
0 eth0
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0
0 eth1
24.6.162.0 * 255.255.254.0 U 0 0
0 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0
0 lo
default 24.6.162.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0
0 eth0
I'd show you my "route prints" from DOS, but I'm not at home right now.
Suffice to say that I have compared all three, and they are all
identical to the route print on the 1.2 machine (again, which is
working) - with the exception that their IP's are 3 and 4.
Why is the 1.2 box working? Why will none of the others work? Anybody
have an answer?

The message usually means that there is something wrong and
mgetty cannot start (or quits shortly after starting). Some of
the common problems are:
a)mgetty failed to initialize modem
b)there is an error in mgetty config file.
Check mgetty's log file to see what actually happens. You may
want to enable debugging using '-x N' command line option
(0<=N<=9). Log file is usually in /tmp/log_mg.<device>
If the problem cause is still not obvious after checking logs,
let me know.

to connect the laptop directly to the pc you'll need a "cross (link)
cable" if you use twisted pair. A coax cable can be connected directly
but has to be terminated properly.
the set the linux machine up to be a "masquerading firewall" this
requires a ip-chains script to configure but enough information can be
found to this.
in the linux machine set up the two cards, one (eth0) will be connected
to the network with it's official ip-number, the second card (eth1) will
connect to your private network (with the laptop). To eth1 assign an
ip-number from the private range, fi 192.168.2.1 (netmasq 255.255.255.0)
the laptop will also need a ip from the private range 192.168.2.2
You may want to make up some hostnames and add them and the ip's to the
/etc/hosts file
compile a new kernel with support for ipv4 forwarding and ip
masquerading and of course all the other networking support.
Wtite an ipchains script, search http://www.dejanews.com for samples adn
read the masquerading Howto. test it and make sure it runs after every
reboot. Childs play once you get the idea.

Owkey.. I guess everything is pretty simple
eh.. except 'make menuconfig' .. wich stuff
do I have to enable/select if I want to use
the following components/stuff? :
- pentium 75
- Ip masquerading (with 2 network adaptors:
one is a cable connection using dhcp , the
other goe's to the hub allowing all Pc's
that are connected to this hub to access
the internet connection, at this moment
the pc is a sygate windows crash/gate-way)
-both are suppported and 10mbit-
this is the main job of this pc.. so it SHouLd
work eh :)
(at this moment 2 SMC ethercard plus elite 16 combo's
are used.. but I contacted SMC and they said the card
was not supported by linux. So I decided to buy 2
other cards for the job, except if somebody know's
how to make my smc's work under linux?)
- Cdrom
- Cd-r : HP 7200i plus (scsi emul.??)
- 2 IDE harddisks, floppy
Intel 82371FB PCI Bus Master IDE controller
pri IDE controller (dual fifo)

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I encountered a problem that I've been trying to resolve without any
success. Let me describe it to you: I'm running a Linux firewall with 2
network cards, one is assigned an IP range (let's say 12.1.1.3 -
12.1.1.30)
and the other one - internal masqueraded network 192.168.1.0/24.
The firewall itself is 12.1.1.2. What I'm trying to do is to forward
incoming ftp connections from outside to the one of masqueraded
machines.
All outgoing connections work fine.
All other protocols for incoming connections work fine, but I really
need to get FTP working and I can't :-(
When I'm forwarding port 21 connections to 12.1.1.8 with ipmasqadm
portfw to internal box at 192.168.1.8 using a command line client I can
connect fine, can see directory listings and transfer files (even
without forwarding port 20).
If I use a graphical client however, it works only if it's on the same
12.1.1.0 network, I can transfer files, etc.
But if I connect from the outside, I can log in but PORT command fails,
so I can't get directory listings or transfer files. Passive ftp does
not work either. I tried forwarding to different computers, same thing,
so it's not the server,
I tried using redir and rinetd, same thing - can't see directory
listings, can't transfer files. And I do forward both port 21 and 20.
Here is my ip.firewall:
/sbin/depmod -a
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
ipchains -M -S 7200 10 60
ipchains -P forward DENY
ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQ
ipchains -I forward -p tcp -s 12.1.1.8 21 -j MASQ
ipchains -I forward -p tcp -s 12.1.1.8 20 -j MASQ
ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L 12.1.1.8 20 -R 192.168.1.8 20
ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L 12.1.1.8 21 -R 192.168.1.8 21

the problem you are referring to is 'oplocks'. If you turn them off for the

YES, YES -- may I add my sentiments also as a more senior
linux administrator. Point & Click is nice if you do it right and
everything
can be guided by the GUI (like a wizard). My experience with complex
administration in "point & click" NT server have been awful -- you have
to go through several menu/dialog chains to accomplish a goal.
At some point the command line and knowledge of the raw files
being changes makes things easier to understand. I am afraid the
"minimal theory and hassle" may make the task "dated" pretty quickly.
Best regards!

I've got almost the same config : RH6, computer hooked to a LAN with a
regular IP (not 10.* or 192.*). I connect calling pppd without any other
options, which are all set in /etc/ppp/options. Here it is :
lock
domain NY-ISP
ipcp-accept-local
ipcp-accept-remote
connect /etc/ppp/dialer
crtscts
defaultroute
debug
kdebug 1
modem
/dev/modem
38400
noipdefault
user MY-ISP-ID
It's working fine, except that the default LAN route is not reset when
the connexion goes down. But in my case I don't care. If you have to
restore it, edit /etc/ppp/ip-down.local

Are you sure that you've got a web page on http://localhost? Netscape will
say it can't find it if there is no web page to find. Check your
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file.
Cheers,
Tren.

Date: Mon, 23 Aug 1999 12:15:41 -0500
When I connect to Linux (whatever came with RH6.0) imap, I see a list of
everything
that is in my home folder on linux. Where is the docs to configure [a] the
clients
and [b] the server for what gets exposed and who can access what?
