That's assuming you can get xDSL and meet the distance requirements (the
maximum bandwidth you can buy depends on your distance from the CO). Prices
are dropping where there is competition. For what's its worth, at the moment,
my only choice in high speed access is dual channel ISDN or partial T1. The
phone company doesn't do xDSL in this neck of the woods, and there is no cable
provider. It cost ~$3000 one time fee (since they had to string another wire
over the lake) and about $450/month for dual channel ISDN (128k) to connect to
the ISP.

Date: Sun, 29 Aug 1999 19:47:26 GMT
A couple considerations using Linux and either DSL or cable modems:
- Will you need a proprietary login software? It can be hard to find
a Linux clone.
- Is the modem internal (= it reuqires special drivers) or is it
external (= requires only ethernet card and drivers).
For cable mdoems in particular:
- is it a two way system, or does it require a modem to send data.
These one way cable modems are a pain to setup in Linux (if you can
get them to work at all).

First, read the linux Ethernet-HOWTO (available at

about, well, Linux Ethernet.
Now, if it is really an ne2000 clone, here's what you probably want to
do. Use the (DOS?) driver disk and configure the eeprom to some known good
configuration (say io 0x280 and irq 2). Then, in linux (if you have all
the proper modules installed) you can just say "modprobe ne io=0x280" and
the driver will be loaded. Then you will need to configure the ip,
netmask, and stuff. That should all be under the RH control panel...

The ISP didn't start it's PPP, or the ISP isn't able to get or to
respond to the pppd negotiation request - it's just not answering.
Usually something has gone wrong while establishing the ISP connection.
How is the connection initiated prior to starting pppd? If you use chat
then there should be chat logs that can help (with the chat -v option).

Date: Sun, 29 Aug 1999 20:10:13 GMT
I have an NT machine as a multi-homed gateway to the internet. My LAN has
been up and running fine for years running through the NT box which runs a proxy
server and connects to the internet via a cable modem.
I just got a linux box running redhat 6, stuck it on my lan and configured it.
I can ping every machine on my lan just fine and vice versa. I can ping the
NIC on the NT box that connects to the internet just fine, but I cannot ping
anywhere else. Also, strangely, I cannot do a traceroute to the NIC card
on the NT box that connects to the internet. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks.

Hi there,
I am using ipchains in combination with ip masquerading. Does anybody
know a proxy software for video streaming (with real player) based on
linux 2.2.x? the real player uses RTSP (tcp port 554) und PNA (tcp
port 1090).
Thanks for feedback.

For starters, if you're using RH, check the /proc/pci file for
information about ethernet controllers. This will tell you whether the
cards are recognized at the hardware level.
If the cards are not recognized, you would also check in ther Bios
settings whether the PCI slots are enabled, what IRQ they have (if IRQ
is automaticly allocated, make sure it doesn't conflict with anything
else, or assign IRQ manually) and whether they do level or edge
detection (if the slots with the NICs are not configured the same,
you'll have to change the one that's not working)

What is properly?
when I do "netstat -r" the last line reads
default gateway 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 eth0
where gateway is the name of my gateway machine.

Subject: local routing
Date: Sun, 29 Aug 1999 20:18:32 GMT
I just set up a second IP on my @home (cable modem) account, stuck a hub in,
and got everything working, except for one thing. Both my and my roommate's
computers are set up to use a gateway at @home hq (or wherever it is) as the
default route. Unfortunately, @home has rather shoddy uplink speeds, and any
traffic that has to go from one of us through the gateway maxes out at
~15K/sec, INCLUDING traffic going from my computer to my roommate's. From what
little I know of TCP/IP, I suspect there should be a way to set up a static
route from my computer to my roommate's which would not need to go up the
cable line but would somehow go straight through our local hub. However, after
2 hours of messing with route/ifconfig and perousing the HOWTO's, I found
nothing. Does anyone know how to handle this? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

You are probably better off renting from you ISP, and then updating
your InterNIC records if/when you change providers unless you have a
stack of ducats available and can demonstrate a justifiable need and
convince ARIN to allocate you a Class C block. You're talking a min
of $2,500/year though, if I understand correcctly.

3Com and Intel are two companies I can think of off the top of my head that
sell analog routers...one of 3Com's products is the OfficeConnect LAN Modem
series, which is available in ISDN and 56K analog flavors. The 56K version
is basically a V.90 modem, router, and 4-port hub in one box; its NAT
implementation allows up to 25 boxen to get their Internet access through
it.
Since this is a Linux newsgroup that you posted in, though, it should also
be pointed out that you can do the same thing with a cast-off 486, nearly
any Linux distribution, and one or more V.90 modems. It'll probably cost
less and can do more. (OTOH, the analog routers are about as plug-and-play
as you can get; 3Com has some kind of "15-minute installation guarantee" on
its product.)
(No, I don't work for 3Com, but I've used and installed a bunch of their
stuff. Can't say that I've used their analog router, though, since a USR
Sportster Voice 56K hanging off a Linux box running IP masquerading and
demand-dialed PPP is more useful for my needs.)
