Subject: Must I DHCP???
Date: Wed, 25 Aug 1999 00:08:07 -0500
Hi,
I have 3 pc's on my LAN with my linux box as a router so it has three
nic's...eth1 and eth2 go to my other pc's and eth0 is for my connection to
my ISP via dynamic IP on an ADSL line.
I can ping from the linux box to both the other pc's and from the other pc's
to the linux box so my routing there is OK i assume.
However the only way I have figured out to connect to my ISP is with the
DHCP client, and every time I set the DHCP client to run I lose eth1 and
eth2 and also all my static routing.
So the question comes to mind..Must I DHCP? Or is there another way to let
my ISP configure the IP for eth0?
If I must use DHCP what will be the best way to configure eth1 and eth2 and
my routing? Maybe via the DHCP server? If so, can I run the client AND the
server on the same machine?
I am running Suse linux 6.1
Thanks,
Jim Connery

This sounds about right. I was initially trying it in slot 5 and that
obviously didn't work. I believe it's working now in slot 4, so this
would pretty much match what I'm seeing.
You wouldn't happen to know anything about the busmastering
capabilities of the slots would you? I heard the BX6 only allowed
busmastering on the first three PCIs and a lot of assumptions that
this carried over to the BP6. Nothing concrete and nothing documented
of course...
Regardless, it seems to be working.. I just hope I don't need any more
PCI cards anytime in the near future. :-)

Well, I'm back again, now that I'm actually beating on my Linux machine.
I've got 3x 3c509 cards, configured at eth0, eth1, eth2. I want eth0
to be my "external" or internet interface, so I've given it a public IP.
Right now, I have eth1 and eth2 having 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2
respectively. I'd like to have just one "internal" or private IP for my
linux box, and one external. One internal NIC will go to a hub, and the
other will be connected with a cross-over cable to another computer.
I've put all of the NIC into promisc mode, and I've enabled bridging
with the brcfg util. I've manually added a default gateway. Here are
the questions I need answered:
1) How can I have just one internal IP, for two NICs?
2) IP masquerading doesn't seem to be working, what else do I need to
do?
3) how do I make the default gateway permanent?
Answers to any and all questions appreciated. Thanks,
Greg

Hi all,
Is it possible to properly route between the following subnets as long as I
keep the IP addresses on the correct side? If so, could this configuration
lead to any potential security issues?
Subnet A: 192.168.111.36/30 (that's a netmask of 255.255.255.252)
Subnet B: 192.168.111.36/27 (that's a netmask of 255.255.255.224)
My firewall would be setup as follows:
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 192.168.111.38 broadcast 192.168.111.39 netmask
255.255.255.252
/sbin/ifconfig eth1 192.168.111.40 broadcast 192.168.111.63 netmask
255.255.255.224
/sbin/route add -net 192.168.111.36 netmask 255.255.255.252 gw

With Win98 SE and its Internet Connection Sharing turned on, my Linux box
has been able to WWW,SSH, NNTP, IRC, FTP, and various other things without
adjustment. Except for the fact that you can't configure it, ICS is pretty
good... I wish you could decouple the DHCP part from the masquerading part
though.

What you're talking about is certainely about a DNS misconfiguration. Both
machines (server and station) have to we written down somewhere. Your linux
certainely did write down its own address and names in its /etc/hosts file.
So, this might be usefull to you (my own experience):
- if your linux acts as DNS server, configure your linux first DNS server as
itself, then others. If you don't, it will wait for timeouts (might take
several minutes). Your station's IP address must be written in your DNS
table.
- if you don't use your linux as DNS server, write down your client IP
address with any name in your /etc/hosts file. This is certainely the
easiest and fastest way for you to resolve your problem.

AOL doesn't offer dial-up PPP access. They require a terminal connection so
you need to use their client software.
This probably isn't what you're looking for, but you can get to AOL over the
Internet. Of course, the client software only exists for Windows and MacOS.

Yes, you don't appletalk for that, but then this is now a Mac

Hello,
I use callback from icce on linux, and I want that it is possible to
connect from win95 with callback (with DUN) or with simple dial-in, but
the problem is the options file for PPPD which is common to the two
connecting ways so some options like "auth login -chap +pap" go right
for the dial-in mode but go wrong with the callback mode.
Have you got an idea?

My problem in short: My USR Sportster ISDN TA external
finally found its way to my ISP via sync. PPP
(PAP authentication).
My ppp0 device is up and running, my routing table
is fine (as in the PPP-FAQ and PPP-HOWTO).
The problem: When trying to ping out I only
get each 2nd packet back again. A 50 % loss
doesn't quite satisfy me.
All other connections via ftp, telnet and so on
are too slow to describe. Walking there would
be faster.
So if you're able to and in the mood, please
let me know about any solution-suggestions
(preffered via E-Mail; see below).
Thank you in advance!

arin ( http://www.arin.net ) hands out blocks of ip addresses to
countries, ISP's and large organisations. The amount you can get is
based on realisticly estimated need. It is possible to transfer assigned
blocks from one locale or entity to another, read more in
http://www.arin.net/docs.html that may only work for c-class and larger
blocks (256 addresses) though.
The basic idea though is that arin hands out blocks to large ISP's and
they hand smaller blocks out to their customers which then can sell it
to you.
But since nearly all current internet traffic is based on DNS lookups
you can easily switch from one ip to another by changing the ipadresses
in your DNS-server. The ip adresses of the the dns servers can be
changed at no extra charge with internic and quite quickly too.

I wish they'd follow the xvscan style. you pay for their work (that's
fine by me) but you also get their sources should you need to support
or extend things yourself. at least, last time I looked, this hp
scanner software DID come with sources.
but its NOT oss's choice, to be fair. if they want to provide drivers
for card XYZ AT ALL, the nda forces them not to release source. they
are the pawns, don't blame them directly; blame the soundcard
companies for REQUIRING an nda.
you could argue that if no one signed nda's - out of prinicple - then
the concept of nda would go away. I don't buy that. the companies
are well set in their ways and NDA is how they think. if OSS refused
(on principle) to sign nda's, they would not be able to offer as many
drivers as they do. otoh, I know at least 1 card (the za2) that does
not require an nda, since the author/designer of the za2 used to make
HIS source available to folks who wanted it. but that's a rare
exception and he's a small shop; nothing at all like yamaha, etc, etc.

Rather you than me. It's a fairly trivial Registry edit - something I'd
be happier doing than letting MS Bloatware take over :-)
Backup your registry, then add the following Registry key (it doesn't
exist by default):
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSUP]
Add new Dword "EnablePlainTextPassword" and set its value to 00000001
You'll need to reboot for changes to take effect etc. If you
subsequently want to turn encrypted password back on, set the value to 0
(or remove it).
Dave.

I was told that linux drivers WOULD be coming, which is why I chose
THIS soundcard company over another close competitor. true, there are
SOME drivers for linux for this card, but it still falls WAY SHORT of
the total abilities of this fine piece of hardware. and for pro
audio, there is nothing that is GPL'd. nothing. ziltch. that's just
life.
I tried talking with the manuf. and driver writers and go nowhere
fast. the manuf would still not release specs and would not choose
another person to write the drivers. so I'm stuck with a card that
has minimal linux support and while it supposedly works under 'doze,
that isn't why I bought the card in the first place. if I wanted
lockups and crashes, I didn't need an expensive card for that - 'doze
alone can manage that with standard off the shelf hardware ;-)
someday before I grow too old, maybe this company will retire this
hardware design and THEN they won't be afraid of releasing specs. the
card will still be useful but just not the latest tech, so the fear of
publishing the api won't be so 'scary' to them..

Actually, the ISP *could* correctly give 10.* addresses for the
nameservers, but it certainly tells a lot about the ISP.
All that is necessary is that the ISP have a proxy server between
itself and the internet. Which implies that the ISP doesn't own its
own address space.
