You might try using HyperTerminal (included with Win98). It might not have
all the functions you need, but it is much better than using windoze
"telnet" app.

Subject: Using Win98 Proxy with linux
Date: Fri, 10 Sep 1999 22:33:37 -0600
I did read all of the discussions concerning modem sharing but none
really answered the question asked. Currently I am running Winproxy 1.4
on a win98 box with a modem and access to the internet. What I am doing
now on my Linux Mandrake 5.3 System is to just tell netscape to use a
proxy - but that is limiting in a serious way, I can ONLY access the net
through software that supports proxy's, so if i just want to telnet to a
certain system on the net, that will not work.
So basically what I want to do is to tell linux to use my win98 system
as a gateway? I did tell my linux box that the default gateway should be
my win98 box (192.168.0.2) but when I try to ping an IP-Address on the
net, it doesn't seem to work. (yes, I can ping my win98 box and will get
a nice reply from it)
Any ideas?
Well, I do think that maybe i can get some better gateway/proxy software
running on the other side (win98 box)? Or is there maybe an even better
way to just tell windows to forward all the IP requests from the network
device to the internet?
Guess I have a lot to learn, but how can one learn of one doesn't ask?

Certainly possible. To get you started, get mgetty, install it and
configure it. Youprobably want to use AutoPPP so you can use pap or chap
for authentication. Or just use login authentication if you wish.
oHope that gets you started.

Scott,
I looked at the various HOWTO's, they seem informative, yet
out of date.
One question I have regards being able have a web-server,
which in my particular case must run on Windows NT, and
have it be available externally, and yet have that system
still be hidden behind the firewall. Do such solutions
exist?
That was why I was thinking that I would need to have
my proxy server be the NT machine.

I think I've tried just about everything I can to get telnetd to work
again. For several months, no problems encountered with users logging
into my system. Now, they can't get past the login. Anyone know what I
can do? I've removed and reinstalled the telnet-0.10-29.i386.rpm that
was recently released by red hat errata, also went back to the original
telnet-0.10-27.i386.rpm that came with redhat 6.0. In my log, it shows
an error, address already in use. I restart inet, still nothing changes.
Open to suggestions..

Date: Sat, 11 Sep 1999 01:36:18 -0400
One thing to remember is that not all cable modems
are designed to accomodate more than one dhcp address
behind them.
In my case, my provider give me two ip address (static),
yet still set up my windows box to use dhcp. If you've
attached your cable modem to your hub, you've got to be
sure that 1) your cable modem has an ip address of it's
own in the real world 2) at least one of your boxes inside
the private net has a real world (or that the cable modem
acts as a masquerade-box (as if))
I used my redhat box as the gateway, even though I used it
as a workstation to masquerade the rest of the network. I've
only got two addresses "allowed" by the cable provider. In
order to have another box be connected directly to the cable
modem via a hub, you've got to get another ip address from
your provider.
If they're assigning ip addresses dynamically, you may still
encounter a problem based on the design (model) of your cable
modem.
Hope this helped and didn't seem too long,
chris

Subject: 3com 3c905 generating frame errors...
Date: Sat, 11 Sep 1999 05:41:18 GMT
I noticed that when I did an ifconfig on my linux box, that my 3com 3c905 card had
frame
and overrun errors. After some investigating, I determined that these errors only
occurred
when I did an ftp "put" from my NT workstation. When I did an ftp "get" absolutely no
errors were generated. In fact, I repeated the put/get sequence a couple of times with
the
same results. The strange part is I get a faster download speed when doing a "get"
then a
"put" from my NT workstation (see below). The "really" strange part is my NT
workstation's
CPU is pegged a 100% during these ftp transfers while the linux box is barely breaking
a
sweat, like 7% CPU utilization with an occasional spike to 60%. If I had another 3com
card, I would like to try it in my NT box to see if the CPU utilization would improve,
but
its pretty rare that I ever copy a 103MB file from one system to another on my home
network.
Anyway, I guess my question is...
1) Should I be concerned with these errors?
2) Why would these errors only happen on ftp "put"s? Especially when the "put" speed is
slower then the "get"
I don't notice any problems with my linux box after these ftp transfers. In fact, no
errors are reported in /var/log/messages. But up until I did this particular ftp
transfer,
the 3com card has never generated errors such as this. I get collisions, but then I
run X
Windows across my network using XWin32 on my NT box. Just running some of the screen
savers can generate collisions. Considering the collision rate is less than 5%, I have
never really been concerned about it. But the errors are bugging me!!!

If you are talking about NetBIOS names, than yes, use WINS, but if you want
to resolve Internet names to IP addresses, than you need to look into
setting up DNS.
Good luck!

Upgrade to Win98 SE and use the built-in internet connection sharing. It is
a transparent proxy and works great (I have it in use here). Alternatively,
Use the IP Masquerading features in Linux, instead of Win98, to provide your
internet connectivity to all hosts.
