I seem to remember somewhere within the Docs which came with samba a file
called Readme.Win95 or something with an equally suggestive name. The file
stated some registry tweaks you could do to Windoze to allow Network
neighbourhood etc to work!

At least three packages can help:
- TCP Wrappers -- standard with most Linuxes these days. Edit your
/etc/hosts.deny and/or /etc/hosts.allow files.
- xinetd -- a replacement for inetd/TCP wrappers. See
http://synack.net/xinetd for more information.
- packet filtering -- you do this with the ipchains utility in 2.2.x
kernels, or the ipfwadm tool in 2.0.x kernels. There's an ipchains
HOWTO that you can check for more information.
If you've got a single-NIC computer, TCP Wrappers is the easiest way to
go. If it's a dual-homed host and you want to completely lock out access
via one interface but not another, xinetd can do so a little more
thoroughly.

When you configured the cisco 675 did you do one of these?
set dhcp server enabled
My provider just went from bridging to PPP. I configured the
modem myself. It works just fine except that I can't login to
any of my old machines using ssh. Everything else seems to work
like netscape for example. Do you use ssh?

Subject: PPTP->ipchains->One-way cable modem???
Date: Wed, 08 Sep 1999 15:22:23 GMT
I have a one-way cable modem connection through MediaOne in Ann Arbor,
MI.
I have an outbound interface ppp0 over which outbound requests are sent,
and an inbound interface cm0 over which responses are received.
Masquerading is working fine for everything except PPTP.
When I am attempting a connection, RASMON on the PPTP client reports
outbound packets, but no packets are received.
I have tried a tight, locked down set of rules, a wide open set (ACCEPT
for input/output, MASQ for forward), even nonsensical attempts like two
entries:
ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -s 10.1.1.0/24 -d 0.0.0.0/0 -i ppp0
ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -d 10.1.1.0/24 -s 0.0.0.0/0 -i cm0
...to no avail, as none of my PPTP packets are returned.
Any ideas?

You might want to try www.nerdherd.net/ipchains instead, to get information
on Linux IP chains. If you go to the .com address (minus the /ipchains) you
will get a great site on Constitutional freedoms, well worth the read, but
probably not what you were originally looking for :)

Ah. Yes. All Cat5-compatible devices should work with straight cables
if all four pairs are wired. That's a no-brainer - every pin is wired
directly to its matching pin.
The same straight cables can also be used with ATM, T1, GigE (there's a
new spec for relibaly running GigE over Cat5, in case you didn't know),
phone systems, and many other kinds of networks.
I am aware of TR running over Cat5. I saw it almost 10 years ago - back
when IBM only supported it over the large STP cables. But doesn't it
still require an MAU (albeit, one with RJ45 connectors) to operate? I
don't think any kind of cabling will allow two TR hosts to be directly
connected to each other.

I have seen IPX packets coming from devices (printers, PC's) where the users
have not disabled IPX even though we don't use IPX here. Yes, if your are
not routing IPX and are running a bridged network, there are IPX broadcasts
that will be sent everywhere.

I use them exclusively. And for $20, why shouldn't I? If you get the

Reply-To: "FEEB" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I have an NCD terminal that connects regularly to HP-UX box. I can connect
with it to all kinds of other *NIX boxes like SUN and SGI without problems
just by changing the NCD's configuration and using 'bt' monitor command.
Now I am trying to connect to RedHat6.0. I can connect to tftpd, read in
all software and fonts (no error messages), then the terminal screen
becomes shaded with a little cross in the middle (it moves with the mouse)
and that's it. No xdm, no login screen. I checked /var/log - no errors.
No errors on NCD either. I tried to completely relax /etc/pam.d/xdm in
case the problem had something to do with the PAM. I read NCD-X Terminal
mini HOWTO back and forth and searched dejanews for any clues. Nothing.
Could please someone help me out here?
Thanks
P.S. When I hit SETUP on NCD, I can telnet to the host.
X works fine on the console (including xdm).

My ISP just changed their connection so that it dynamically assigns not
only the IP number but also the
DNS server's IP. The problem is that I don't know how to handle this
and, in fact, the PPP HowTo (dated
1997!) says that linux CANNOT handle dynamic DNS assignment. I hope this
is no longer true as I really
do not wish to change ISP's. Can someone:
1. Tell me how to fix it. (Best)
2. Tell me about a newer PPP HowTo or other document that explains how
to fix it. (Good)
3. Flame me. (Send it to /dev/null)

My ISP just changed their connection so that it dynamically assigns
not only the IP number but also the
<br>DNS server's IP. The problem is that I don't know how to handle this
and, in fact, the PPP HowTo (dated
<br>1997!) says that linux CANNOT handle dynamic DNS assignment. I hope
this is no longer true as I really
<br>do not wish to change ISP's. Can someone:
<p>1. Tell me how to fix it. (Best)
<br>2. Tell me about a newer PPP HowTo or other document that explains
how to fix it. (Good)
<br>3. Flame me. (Send it to /dev/null)

If you visit one of the kernel.org mirrors where all of the kernel source
tarballs are kept, you should be able to tell this from the dates on the
tarballs...

Kerberos-enabled POP server.
For the number-to-name mapping look in /etc/services.
