TCP Wrappers is a daemon (tcpd) that sits between inetd and the daemon
that handles a specific service. The TCP Wrappers package uses rules laid
out in /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny to allow or deny specific
computers or networks to connect to specific services. TCP Wrappers
doesn't affect outgoing connections, just the connections coming in to any
servers you run, and then only servers run via TCP Wrappers are affected.

Setting up ADSL on Linux is the same as setting Linux for
a lan ethernet connection as there is no difference. One
thing you may need from the ISP is whether they use DHCP
for providing you an ipaddr in which case you would need
to install the DHCP client. You would also need the ipaddr
of their DNS servers for your resolv.conf
Also at www.linux.com, use their search for ADSL and some
docs will show up most of it is the phone wiring for ADSL
and data/voice splitter.

I have set up samba to connect my win98 running VMware on top of Linux
box. The network only works when PPP is up and connect to the internet.
When the ppp is disconnected, win98 cannot establish network with the
linux box and the rest of the lan.
Any suggestion??

Subject: HP Pavilion & Network Card problem
Date: Wed, 08 Sep 1999 23:24:16 GMT
Hello,
I'm trying to get my network card to function under RH6.0. I have an
HP 4550z, and have tried the rtl driver for the card that came with it.
As that didn't work, I swapped NICs for a Linksys 10/100 LAN PCI card
(tulip). ifconfig -a shows that it exists, and I can ping the
interface. When I try to set up a route to the local net or a local
host, it gives me the error: SIODD??: Network is unavailable. On the
card, the lights LINK and 100 are on, but the ACT light is off. It
works fine under windoze (dual boot). I'm pretty sure it isn't an IRQ
problem (IRQ is 3, and /proc/interrupts? doesn't have that listed).
There is a funky modem/sound card plugged in that isn't linux compatible
(yet), but the IRQs are different.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jon French

Subject: PCMCIA or eth0 IRQ Problem. Not Sure?
Date: Wed, 08 Sep 1999 20:06:18 GMT
I have a tecra 780 with a RealPort Combo Lan/Modem card. I have not
been able to get it working in RedHat Linux 6. I was hoping somepne
could help me out as I am very new to Linux and this seems to be the
last setup hurdle (besides the sound not working).
I bought the card because it is compatable with Linux and uses the
existing xirc2ps_cs driver. I believe I might have an IRQ conflict but
I am not sure if it is with the Lan adapater or PCMCIA services itself.
I have included a portion of the boot log below:

I have read in a news posting that Linux sometimes does not do a good

my /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia file. After I did that PCMCIA services seemed
to start up but when I tried to use eth0 nothing worked. I was able to
assign an IP address and other config information to eth0 by using
netconfig but I was unable to access the Internet or Ping any other

I'm in the region and I use Mediaone RR just fine. I battled this for a
while soon after the cable modem was installed. I've had to make no
special modifications to any files, so try checking the follwing files
(I may miss one, so really check):
/etc/hosts
/etc/hosts.allow

ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.10.0/255.255.255.0 -j MASQ
** You may also wish to add lines to build your firewall on eth0! **
I use dhcpd to assign IP addresses in my subnet. This should be the
basic gist of configuring your subnet to work over the cablemodem. I
also make my linux box the DNS of the subnet routing to MediaoneRR. No
special route commands to use, so all/most the above should work.

Ok, I'm not entirely new to Linux, but I would like someone who has done
this before to maybe just outline some steps for me. I haven't had to
actually set up the config that is needed in this situation before and want
to make sure I don't overlook anything.
Don't really need specifics, just an outline on how to go from a clean Linux
install, including Apache, Bind and Ipchains. I have an ISDN line going
into a Router going into a Linux PC with two NIC's. What various daemons
and services do I need to configure so that a Win95/NT LAN can talk to the
Internet thru the Linux box, and so that we can host our own e-mail, FTP and
website. Also want the box to act as a primary DNS and firewall.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

This is all do-able with Linux. An entire C-class domain space is
probably overkill, but that won't cause you any problems. (Whether it's
reasonable to grab 256 addresses when you only need a handful is another
matter....)
> 1. What is the current DSL support on Linux? Is it reliable?
Linux neither has nor needs explicit DSL support. In most cases, you just
set it up like any other Ethernet connection. It's as reliable as Linux's
Ethernet networking (very reliable, given the right hardware) in
conjunction with the reliability of the DSL (which ranges from quite poor
to very good, depending upon the provider and your luck).
This does assume, though, that you use a DSL "modem" that sits outside the
computer and connects via an Ethernet cable. If your DSL provider offers
an internal DSL "modem," *DO NOT* accept it. As of now, Linux has no
drivers for such devices, AFAIK, though I've heard rumors that some
development is going on to get some of these things working.
> 2. Since this is a small business, it will make more sense if I least a
> residential DSL service with the local phone company.
I disagree. It'll cost you more, but you should probably go for a
business-class account, for several reasons:
1) The residential accounts typically limit upstream bandwidth to 90kbps,
128kbps, or some other smallish number. Since many of the services you
mentioned involve upstream traffic, you DO NOT want to limit your
upstream speed in this way. Better to get a business-class SDSL line
or a higher-end ADSL line that has better upstream speeds.
2) Residential accounts often (but not always) include language in their
terms of service (TOS) documents limiting your ability to run servers.
You don't want to hassle with your ISP about this.
3) Business accounts are more likely to include guaranteed uptime in their
TOS documents. Most residential accounts are basically "it'll probably
be up most of the time, but if not, tough." This is NOT something you
want to risk with your business connectivity.
4) ISPs offering residential accounts often (but not always) don't support
your maintaining your own domain name. A few actively forbid it.
5) As you note, most residential accounts only provide one IP address.
You can get around this in various ways with Linux, but you might want
more flexibility in the future.
6) Your ISP might just get miffed if you run a business on a residential
account. The preceding are ways that ISPs encourage the split as
labeled, but even if an ISP doesn't have those rules or if you adhere
to them, the ISP might still unilaterally switch you or drop your
service if you run a business on residential-class DSL.

Legal? Certainly. Does it conform to the TOS with your ISP? I don't
know. You'll have to check the agreement with your ISP.

IP masquerading. This does have limits:
1) For the most part (but see #2), computers on your internal network will
see the Internet in an unobstructed way. This means you can Web surf,
check for email on POP servers, send email, use FTP servers, etc. on
any arbitrary internal computer.
2) A handful of services DO NOT work through IP masquerading. I'm told
this is true of some videoconferencing protocols, for instance.
3) To the Internet as a whole, it'll look like you've got one computer --
the one with the direct connection to your ISP. Therefore, for servers
you want to be visible to the outside world, you'll either have to run
them on that machine or provide some sort of port-forwarding mechanism.
You might or might not want to do this. For instance, you might want
to run a high-visibility service like a web server on a machine that's
not involved in the masquerading and that has no privileged access to
the rest of the machines on your network. This would require a
separate IP address for that machine.

192.168.0.0 isn't a subnet is it? It's a whole class B.
192.168.0.0 is like 192.168.*.*.

Hello,
I have Problems with my network configuration.
I use Suse 6.0 .
I want to use a Linux PC as a gateway between a 10 MB and 100 MB and the
Inter Net.
My network topolog is shown below. the 10 MB is the network
192.168.100.0 , the 100 MB network is the 192.168.0.0 both same subnet
255.255.255.0
my /etc/route.conf looks like this:
192.168.100.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0
eth0
192.168.100.98 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255
ippp0
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0
eth1
default 192.168.100.98
a part of my rc.config :
IFCONFIG_0="192.168.100.100 broadcast 192.168.100.255 netmask
255.255.255.0 up"
IFCONFIG_1="192.168.100.97 pointopoint 192.168.100.98 up"
IFCONFIG_2="192.168.0.50 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
up"
What works:
all pc can use the samba shares on the linux pc.
all pc can use the internet.
My Problems:
win 1 can ping linux on both 10 MB and 100 MB, but not (for example) win
4 or win 5
win 1 can not access resources on win 4 (windows networking)
I think i have to enable ip forwarding or to change the routing on my
linux box ??
How are the right steps to this? In the NET3 Howto i saw the point
bridging. is it that what i am looking for ? ( but if i enable bridging,
are the samba shares on my linux box accessable ?)
Thank you for your help.

As one other person has already pointed out, setting up Linux for DSL is
essentially identical to setting Linux up for an Ethernet LAN.
One other point, though, is that DSL "modems" come in two varieties:
internal and external. The external DSL "modems" are really more like
bridges or routers, and they connect to the computer via an Ethernet
cable. You therefore need an Ethernet card on your Linux computer. The
internal variety is really a network card in and of itself; it "talks" DSL
rather than Ethernet. AFAIK, at present there are no Linux drivers for
any such boards, so unless you want to do some kernel hacking, don't get
an internal DSL "modem." If necessary, buy your own external one (your
ISP should be able to privide you with recommendations).

It's hard to go too far wrong, provided the card physically works, and
provided you're willing to compile in the latest driver.
The Intel boards certainly have good reputations, but they're pricey.
Similar comments apply to most 3COM boards. Most of the low-priced boards
you see in the stores have clones of the DEC Tulip chipset on them, and
these work quite well with recent drivers, but some may be unreliable with
older drivers, and sometimes even with certain specific recent ones.
There are also a few boards using a variety of other chipsets and, hence,
drivers, like the D-Link DFE-530TX, which uses the VIA Rhine chipset and
driver. For the most part, these work fine, too. The most recommended
boards do seem to be the Intel, 3COM, and assorted Tulip "clone" boards.
The closest thing to a non-manufacturer-specific standard is the Tulip
"clone" chipsets, and boards based on them.
