Well, your suggestion actually lead me to the actual problem I think. I
tried using the domain name for the mysql server and got pretty much the
same results. However, when I tried the plain old IP address, it worked
just fine. So, it's got something to do with my DNS lookup activities
somewhere. Gonna track that down...thanks for the info!

Almost any decent card will work, there is nothing really special about an
Aptiva. You may want to look at the EtherNet HOWTO, Donald Becker's

You could possibly edit /etc/conf.modules (RH6) for the proper module.
It worked for me when I added my second NIC.

I'm running Redhat 6.0 w/Shadow passwords, mgetty 1.1.14 with AutoPPP
and am trying to set the machine up so I can dial in with my Win95
machine and setup a PPP connection.
If I tell Win95 to bring up a terminal window after dialing, and then
login myself and run PPP manually, I can hit continue and everything
will work great. If I try to have Win95 login automatically, I
get....

Well, it actually does have /tmp, but not that named pipe. As well, I can't
see any pipes in /tmp either, or I might just try hard linking to them.
Nevertheless, it gave me the bright idea of maybe not connecting "locally"
and just using the IP...if mysql isn't smart enough to catch on and revert
back to the named pipe thingy, maybe that'll solve the problem.

Use chat with the -v option and pppd with the debug option. Messages

As far as your ISP not giving you their DNS servers.... I think that's
pretty sad. It's public info. Follow this link and type in your ISP's

http://www.networksolutions.com/cgi-bin/whois/whois/
Concering the "host not found problem" when using traceroute
www.domainname.com, this is probably due to you not having your ISP's
DNS in /etc/resolv.conf It should list something like this
nameserver xxx.yyy.xxx.yyy
nameserver xxx.yyy.xxx.yyyy
xx and yy being the IP numbers of your ISP
You probably don't need any gateway information as when you connect to
your ISP,
the portmaster you dial into handles all the routing.
Not sure about the multiple interface issue.
Hope some of this helps

Hi, and TIA.
I'm having trouble setting up my mail server.
I'm using RedHat 5.2 as a firewall; The inside net is 192.168.1.0/24,
and the firewall has a static IP to my ISP.
I can get mail on the firewall; running elm in a shell works fine.
If I try to send, most of it gets rejected with a "we do not relay"
message. How do I tell it that the inside net is OK?
The real problem is that I can't get a pop connection on the inside net.
If I telnet to port 110, the firewall disconnects me. Regular telnet
works just fine.
If I try to use a pop3 client, I get a very uninformative error message,
like "contact your system administrator".
It's an 'out-of-the-box' installation, I've done very few mods other
than add a firewalling script and a local DNS server.
I can send mail _through_ the firewall to my ISP's mail server, but the
desired goal is to have the firewall act as the local server, and
forward mail to the ISP's server.
What am I doing wrong?

I got netmeeting 3.1 to work, no problem if I call someone on the net. But
if they want to contact me, oviously they can't because they're calling the
Linux box. My question is, and maybe this could be done, how can I get IP
chains, to forward the requests of netmeeting to my internal lan, on a
certain computer(s). Example, a request comes in on eth0 for netmeeting, to
be forwarded to eth1. So, if a request comes in on a port for netmeeting,
then it shoud be forwarded to 192.168.1.3 eth1. I get the concept, just
don't know what ports, or how to tell IP chains to forward the requests.
Anyone run into something similar?
Thanks in advance for any input.

Without NIS, and just .rhosts, I can rlogin to a Linux box on the same
subnet with no password (from dialin on router). I can also rlogin to my
ISP with no password from one of their own dialup lines with my static IP.
However, a Linux box across a private WAN (frame relay) to another subnet
requests my password (no DNS just /etc/hosts). I get no response trying
to connect to that same box via the internet (telnet works). But that may
be due to firewall or masquerade setting, since I can connect from within
the private network.
So I haven't quite figured out what the conditions are for requiring a
password.

I had this problem to.
I was using a redhat 5.2 linux box.
In my case all the files with .html whould show fine.
Files with .cgi and .htm would not.
I whent into the file /etc/mime.types and added lines 1 and 3:
text/html htm
text/html html
text/html cgi
After restarting the web server the problem was fixed.
I think that ie will display files not classified as text/html as html if
it finds tags. Howerver NS relys on the mime info. If you are on another
os I think there may be some keys in the server's registry (nt/95/98) that
associate file extentions with mime types.
Hope that this was help full,
