Subject: problem: configuring a 2 NIC machine to reduce network bandwidth
Date: 10 Sep 1999 06:40:50 GMT
I am planning to use a Linux machine (2.0.29) and NistNet software to
adjust network bandwidth and delay for performance experiments.
the configuration looks like this:
+--------+ xx.xx.205.26
| client |------------------------> institute network
+--------+
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway xxx.xxx.205.1
for network speed reduction i'd like to add a new machine:
+--------+205.26 205.136 +------+ 205.135
| client |---------------------| lin1 |------------> institute network
+--------+ +------+
as the client machine is a sgi workstation, i'd prefer not to touch the
ip settings there.
i can get the 205.136 adapter accessable from other institute machines by
adding an arp command assigning the 205.136 address to the eth0 adapters
ehternet address of the lin1 machined (and a route to 205.136 on lin1).
all addresses are real addresses of the class D network.
network settings:
lin1:
eth0
addess xx.xx.205.135
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway xx.xx.205.1
eth1
address xx.xx.205.136
netmask 255.255.255.255
client:
ec0
address xx.xx.205.26
netmaks 255.255.255.0
gateway xx.xx.205.1
questions:
what do i need to do that client can see the network and the netwok can see
client?
thanks

Red Hat 6.0
Kernel 2.2.12
pppd version 2.3.7
Modem is an old USR 36.6 sportster internal
When i transmit ++ + (w/o the space, eh) over a ppp connection, the
modem switches to "command mode" and blocks all furthur PPP
communication. While I can avoid doing it by hand, it can (and does)
occure in MIME encoded attachements. What's more insiduous is that
sendmail will spool the mail, and try to send it every 30 minutes,
knocking me off the net each time. (It took me 12 hours before I
figured out what the hell was going on.)
pppd's "escape" option doesn't allow me to escape 0x2b (+) : "The
characters which may not be escaped are those with hex values 0x20 -
0x3f or 0x5e."
Is there another work around? Or do I have to grin and bare it?

Use the PCI NE2000 for pci realtek cards, or ISA NE2000 for isa ones.
The exception is the realtek 8129/39, which you dont have...the 8129/39
takes the rtl8139 driver.

AFAIK Red Hat compiles Samba without smbmount (and smbsh, for that
matter). Don't know for sure, though, I use Suse. Get the source,
./configure --with-smbmount --with-smbwrapper; make; make install and
you should be up and running.

I found that Linux-Mandrake 6.0 when initially installed does have the
/usr/sbin/in.telnetd file. It turns out that when I use the Linux-Mandrake
update tool to update to the latest packages, the telnet 0.12 package removes the
/usr/sbin/in.telnetd file causing all this havoc. I made a backup copy of the
original in.telnetd file and restored it after the upgrade and the telnet
connection problem went away.

I just reinstalled my Linux box to RedHat 6.0. The installation went very
smoothly and the GUI looks very cool. However I recognized that my Linux
box not only running slow under OpenLinux but also RedHat. My computer is a
200 MHz Pentium with 32 Ram and 2G HD. It takes more than 10 seconds to
open Netscape and more than 20 seconds to open StarOffice. Do you think it
is normal, what can I do to improve the speed?
Thank you,

Subject: PPP loses data
Date: Fri, 10 Sep 1999 10:23:49 +0300
Hi!
I use PPP in the following configuration:
Client->pppd->/dev/ttyqd->util->tunnel->util->/dev/tty->pppd->Server
The idea is that util reads PPP frames from pseudoterminal and tunnels
them inside TCP/IP to another util that passes it to pppd and then to
Server. Don't ask me why I need this! :-)
The problem is when Client sends a burst of data, some portion of it
seems to be lost either in pppd or /dev/ttyqd before it comes to util.
I guess it is because some buffers get overflowed somewhere.
In PPP FAQ and HOWTO I read that it's a good idea to use
a hardware (CTS/RTS) or software (xonxoff) flow control. But in this
case, util just reads all data as fast as it can and the CPU is still
98% idle, so for it there is no use to send xonxoff escape commands, and
it cannot send hardware signals I guess.
So how to make the flow control working in this situation?
ppp-2.3.4, Linux 2.0.36
BTW, the man page of pppd has nothing about crtscts parameter. Why?
Thanks,
Andrei

I would respectfully (but firmly) suggest that you are reading something
into my last response that I did not put there.
My personal Usenet and BBS-specific knowledge base only extends back
approximately 10 years, so that is as far as I can go back in time,
at least in the context of "electronic forums", and claim any valid
hands-on experience.
Is this a problem for you?

E-mail is not news. Please differentiate between the two mediums, as
usage patterns and conventions in "e-mail" messaging and in electronic
"news" forum messaging can be quite different.
We are talking about "newsreaders", or programs specifically designed
to be used on Usenet and other newsgroup-like forums.
As an e-mail client, Outlook might be fine. I have no idea, since my
employer uses OV/VM for corporate e-mail, and I prefer to use pine or
Yarn as an e-mail client on my personal systems.
However, you appear to be using Outlook as a newsreading client here on
Usenet, and such usage subjects the client to the same expectations we
place on all other newsreaders.
Outlook appears to fail in at least one regard.
I do not claim to have any idea about what really drives Microsoft's
design decisions. I'm a programmer by profession and I understand
technology, but Microsoft is mainly a marketing company.

Netscape is a newcomer to the scene.
QWK readers like QMail DeLuxe2, SLiMeR, Session Manager, and OLX follow
the convention we advocate in the late 1980's and early 1990's.
Pure Usenet "newsreaders" like tin, rn, trn, slrn, Yarn, PMINews,
Agent, Gravity, and many many others (I'd be willing to bet over 200)
follow this same convention, and many of them have done so for many
many years.
Netscape saw this, and decided to follow the defacto standard when they
created the newsreader in Netscape Communicator (then called Navigator).
Are you with me so far?
There are *VERY* few newsreaders of which I am aware that do not follow
this convention. Outlook appears to be one of those few.
>Am I correct in interpreting what you are saying?
I think that you largely ignored what I wrote and instead are making a
lot of baseless assumptions.

Thanks Mike, I'll do that. But if thats the case I have to ask the
question then of RedHat, whatinhellweretheysmokinwhentheydidthat?
And: why are these not the default actions of ./configure?
Side editorial/comment/question: Has anyone else noticed that RedHat,
in their infinite wisdom, has made it very difficult to find a path thru
their web pages to the actual database?
I thought this was supposed to be 'Open Source', freely accessable and
copyable. I'm beginning to think we have another (IIRC) Eagle on our
hands, who 2 or 3 years ago had to have bible and verse quoted to them
repeatadly until they 'got the message', and then rapidly faded from
view...
Now, on the same topic, but different machine, there appears to be no
way I can get the m68k/amigaos version of nmbd to run on this machine,
and when attempting to use smbclient -d A -L machinename, it is
attempting to use the ip address of the last time this machine was
online, and which my scripts specifically destroy as they go offline.
But MiamiDX is finding it, and not useing the database ip numbers setup
in it permanently. The 2 probs are no doubt related, but a samba guru I
obviously am not. I wonder if that (the missing smbmount) part of the
problem here. It is not in my path if its here, unlike the rest of the
admin utils like smbclient etc which live in amitcp:samba/bin.
Cheers, Gene

We haven't done anything (that we know of) to change this table, this is
just what we ended up with after setting the rest of the numbers. Is this
correct?? If not, please provide info on how to change it and what to
change it to. By the way, our ISP's domain name is cookeville.total-web.net
if you are wondering about the gateway listed for "default" in the routing
table.
Just to make sure we're testing this correctly, here is some more info. The
other machines on the network are running windows 95 and 98. Basically the
only change we've made on them is to set the gateway to 192.168.0.1. Should
we be able to ping the outside world from those machines? If not, should we
be trying to load websites to test it out, or something else.
As you can tell, we are fairly new at this so any other info you can think
of that we might need to know would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, I am trying to get remote printing to another linux box working. I
can print locally, but remote printing doesn't seem to work. Since the
other network stuff such as NFS is working fine, I believe that the file
/etc/hosts.lpd is not set up properly. I tried to find the syntax from
different man pages and HOWTO guides, but haven't found it. Could you
give me an example/syntax of /etc/hosts.lpd? Thanks!

Yes. Set your ethernet up as DHCP.
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 should look like this :
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
If you want more details, go read the dhcp-howto and cable modem howto
on www.linux-howto.com.
