What about your /etc/resolv.conf? That is the key to getting name
resolution to work. Get DNS server IP addresses from your ISP. Then each
line should be:
nameserver 206.15.168.69
(replace the RHS with the actual IP address they give you).

No, the clients don't have remotely enough disk to hold the data, or I
would do the copy. The main data set consists of hundreds of GB of data,
and I would like to cache the LRU data on the client, since the recently
written bits are most heavily used. Since the files are large and only
records will be used, partial caching would be nice.
I'd rather not write an interface layer which is application dependent,
since there are already several applications which have similar needs to
access portions of a very large database.

Yes, most of us have IP addresses assigned by the ISP which differ from
connection to connection. Relatively few need to have a static name
anymore than they need a static IP address. There are sites that will
supply a domain name and allow the IP address for each connection to be
attached to a static hostname in that domain. I can't name them but
there's little doubt that someone else will reply who can.

Is this related to the previous post which said that the RH version of
NFS is seriously broken? I have had no problems with a mix of Slackware
3.6/4.0 and AIX or Solaris. Actually, even one old NFS for Windows3.1
worked until it got upgraded.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I just moved from a location where I was using a cable modem to a
place where I have to use regular 56K dialup access. So here I am
trying to get my modem to work for the first time, and I'm having some
problems. I've been fussing with PPP and RedHat 6.0 for several days
now, and I just can't seem to get it to work. I've looked through the
faq, howto, and several troubleshooting web pages. All of the obvious
stuff seems to be configured properly. I can dial my ISP and I get an
IP address, but that's about as far as I get. Here's what I'm seeing
in the logs:

Hello folks,
I have problem with my ISPs DNS. I can connect OK and ping some IPs,
e.g. ping 137.82.43.58, but when I try to ping my ISPs DNS
IP=198.133.036.9,
I get nothing?! I contacted my ISP and they told me that in the login
history
there's something about my machine thinking that it was a LAN

Urg, I've got no practical experience of this sort of network, but here's
a few comments:
You ought to be able to get 30 hops using traceroute, the fact that it
hangs at 15 is probably significant, but I'm not sure why. I assume the
same is true if you try to go across the ring rather than from your server?
As I understand it, you have a ring of machines, each with two network
cards in, and each connected by crossover cable to the machine on each
side? (Each node has two ip addresses). And you've forced two subnets
onto this configuration, so that each machine thinks it's on both subnets.
I'm not sure I like the idea of this, you'd be better off with a
flat ip range 1-64, and specify pointopoint routing for all the machines
rather that networks.
What I would do to try to highlight the problem would be to run tcpdump
and try pinging machines down the ring. Look at the ttl field on the
packets, the ttl should only go down by one at each node.

How about other outside domains? If it won't resolve any you have your
root servers wrong, check that your named.cache is up-to-date. If only
those domains don't work I would have to suspect that they're blocking
you, which seems unlikely.

Subject: IPChains and FTP
Date: Wed, 1 Sep 1999 14:43:09 -0500
I'm struggling with something here and I'm hoping someone can help me out.
Lets say I'm working on setting up a masquerading firewall with a RH 6
computer. I want the ability to turn on and off masquerading by ip address
inside and outside our lan. Also, I want the same ability to turn FTP on
and off by ip address inside and outside. I have what seems to be a way of
turning off surfing (web access) using rules for MASQ but if I allow an
internal IP address full access to the net with a MASQ line then they also
have the ability to FTP (usually not what I want).
Example:
ipchains -F input
ipchains -F output
ipchains -F forward
ipchains -P input ACCEPT
ipchains -P output ACCEPT
ipchains -P forward ACCEPT
ipchains -A forward -s 10.0.0.1 -d 0.0.0.0/0 -j MASQ
ipchains -A forward -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d 0.0.0.0/0 -j REJECT
This is simple but I gotta start somewhere. The above address of 10.0.0.1
can get anywhere on the net. That address can also FTP anywhere on the net.
If I put a workstation of 10.0.0.2 on the above lan it will not get anywhere
so that gives me what I want except for the FTP thing. What do I need to
add to the above to reject FTP to the address 10.0.0.1 (but still have
unlimited surfing ability) but not reject FTP for everyone as some will get
that access?
I hope I made sense.
Thanks,

Subject: PPP problems from Win NT
Date: Wed, 25 Aug 1999 18:46:30 GMT
I've set up my Linux machine so that I can dial in from my Win NT
machine at home. I am able to establish the connection (NT dial-up tool
dials, verifies user/passwd, then reports that the connection has been
successfully established and that my computer is being "registered on
the network"), but when I try to start an internet program (Netscape,
Internet Explorer, telnet, ping, etc.) the connection doesn't seem to be
there. For instance, Internet Explorer, when asked to access a URL,
will churn for a while and then report that it couldn't establish a
connection.
Why am I having this problem?
Some additional info that may be relevant:
-I've enabled IP forwarding
-I believe I've set TCP/IP as the protocol
-mgetty is set with the AutoPPP option
-ppp is set to accept PAP, refuse CHAP
Thanks for any suggestions...

Thanks,
Having the same username on both machines was the key.

ok I'm just going to ignore a lot of what you have written, so if this
doesn't help; my fault in advance.
I just ran dhcpcd and boom I got a lease.
You may need to install it from RPM distribution.

Quite a few people use linux without a GUI. In linux, more than
any other OS, the GUI is eye candy a little more. The vast majority
of tasks can be accomplished in linux without the GUI.
As for the X server, you are most definaetly in the minority.
Most do not lose X when nescape goes down. Sounds to me like you're
got a bigger problem on your hands.
If you dislike X, you could always PAY for a comerical version.
Until then, how about being happy with what you have, or writing your
own?

Subject: routing and gateway problems
Date: Wed, 01 Sep 1999 23:56:26 GMT
I am trying to setup a linux firewall machine to filter packets coming
into a network. The setup is this: a cisco router connects the network
to a t1, one ethernet card in the linux firewall connects to the router
and the other network card connects to the rest of the network. IP
forwarding is enabled. I have tried many different routes and configs
for the network cards. The router sends a .64-.127 subnet to the
network. The ethernet interface on the router uses .65, I want the
ethernet card from the firewall connecting to the router to use .66 and
the ethernet card connecting to the network to use .67.
TIA
