Yes I have re-posted this. I've had no response and I'm stuck.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

EXT_IP is the "external" IP address of my Linux box. EXCH_IP is the Exchange

All,
Has anyone ever seen the error messages
'Bad Community'
in /var/adm/messages from Sendmail.
I am trying to receive a file from another company and we keep getting
this error. I'm no sendmail guru and can't figure it out. We can
receive some stuff from the - but not others. There does not seem to be
an obvious pattern so I am thinking it may be some manner of
network/routing problem.
However I am willing to hear other ideas.........
Let me know if you have any.
Thanks
Tony

Subject: replacing the routing table with ipchains?
Date: Thu, 9 Sep 1999 12:11:04 +0200
Hello!
I'am wondering if it is possible to replace the routing table with ipchains
commands?.
an example:
my computer have 2 NIC's.
192.168.10.1 (eth1) -----| MY COMPUTA| --- (eth0) 192.168.11.1
I want to enable routing between the two diffrent networks but without using
the route command.
the normal routing table will look something like this:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
192.168.10.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth1
192.168.10.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
192.168.11.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.11.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
0.0.0.0 192.168.10.26 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 0 eth1
The big question is now: Can I skip the route command and use ipchains to
build up the routing table instead??, and how whold those ipchans commands
look like?
you may wonder why I want to do this?, the reson is beacause I desperatly
needs a special routing command that can have source address as parameter
when making the routing dessision.
an example:
On my network I have 2 default gatways.
I want all trafic that comes from 192.168.65.0 to be routed to default
gatway1. and I want all trafic that comes from 192.168.66.0 to be routed to
default gateway2.
you can't solve this problem (with source address matching) with the normal
route command (because the routing command does not care about where the
packets are FROM, it justs care about where the packages are going TO). that
why I'm thinking about building up the routing table with ipchains (that
care where the packets are from).
maybe there is another solution on this problem???.
I would be very thankful if someone could help me.
Cheers from
/Henrik

I was having a similar problem. I found out that the destination host
I was trying to ping sent out the ICMP response to another router in the
same segment.
Check the route table of the destination host to see if it is correct!

Subject: nslookup resolves, ping doesn't
Date: Wed, 08 Sep 1999 22:56:02 +0200
I can connect to most hosts on the internet through my SuSE 6.2
ppp-connection flawlessly. But I found a few that can be resolved via
nslookup, while I cannot use any other tool to connect to them (ping,
netscape etc., you name it). When I telnet to a host beyond the ppp
link, I can reach those hosts with no problem. Does anyone have an idea
where to look for the root of this strange problem?
Thanks,
Ludger.

Are you using RedHat ? Then rename your /etc/ppp/ip-up and
/etc/ppp/ip-down scripts. The seem to change the hostname as well. Does
anyone have some background knowledge on that ? I don't have a RH
install here right now.

So would I, especially if it actually works like that, i.e. you can ping
back and forth. Why the config program reports something else? Beats
me...

Hi,
I recently installed SuSe Linux 6.2 on my Toshiba

I even get his IP number and can ping him, but I don't
recognize anything else.

The idea that Bill Gates has appeared like a knight in shining armour
to lead all customers out of a mire of technological chaos neatly
ignores the fact that it was he who, by peddling second-rate
technology, led them into it in the first place. (Douglas Adams)

I found it out myself, the root has write access to the NT- share, I can give
the -u and -g commands with smbmount to give the appropriate uid and gid to the
files on the NT- share

Date: Tue, 07 Sep 1999 20:05:16 +0800
I've been using Apache as a proxy server for quite a while. It does
cache the webpages I access when the linux box is connecting to the
Internet thru my ISP. But whenever the linux box goes off-line, the
proxy server doesn't seem to be able to retrieve the webpages it cached
previously, and an error message appears on the clients' browser. What
should I do to make the webpages retrievable from the cache when the
linux box is off-line?

That's plain wrong. Good programmes on every system allow you to set the
cursor correctly. Writing the reply below the quote has been the
standard on all systems even before Netscape and Microsoft noticed the
Usenet existed at all. Yes, even for networks that originated in the DOS
world (e.g. Fido).
So you're just using broken software, which is your problem. You still
have the option to work around manually or switch to a true newsreader.
Another reason for not putting the reply on top of the message is that
such users tend to violate the Netiquette by quoting the whole original

Unfortunately, that did not work. But I upgraded to the newer version of
the NCD software (3.3.2) and I am getting the CHOOSER screen with a menu of
about 20 *NIX boxes I can connect to EXCEPT the one I want to connect to.
If I force the address of the RedHat6.0 box in CHOOSER I get:
asking host "the.RedHat.box" for XDMCP session
and after a while
XDMCP error - login host not responding
Any hints, please?
