Once pppd has established a connection with your ISP, it runs the /etc/ppp/ip-up
program/script. One of the parameters given to ip-up is the IP address that your
end of the ppp connection was assigned. Why not alter your ip-up to store this
value in a file somewhere?

Subject: To double the bandwith on the same subnet
Date: Tue, 14 Sep 1999 19:30:02 +0200
I would like to know if anybody has tried to install two network cards
(NICs) on the same subnet with the goal to double the bandwith of the net
subsystem.
I have a Linux server with two net cards (each card has its IP number, IPA
and IPB, and they are on the same subnet) with the goal to increase the
bandwith to the net.
I had no problem to configure and to use the two cards.
But I noted that only the first card (eth0) is used to "transmit" to the
network: the input traffic arrives from both the cards, but only the eth0
routes the output packets.
I tried to add a second "default" route to the second cards (route add
default gw xxx.xxx.xxx.xx eth1), but the result isn't good: all the output
trafic is routed only by eth1 and eth0 stops to output the packets.
Any ideas, anyone?

Take out the pppd kdebug option and use the debug option. The PPP link
negotiation messages should be in one of the files in /var/log but pppd
uses syslogd to log with and you'll find the syslogd log files defined
in /etc/syslog.conf. It would be a good idea to use the chat -v option
and find those messages too.

Configure your kernel for "ipchains", if not already done, and use the
scripts found at
http://www.nerdherd.net/ipchains
The setup could not be simpler. You may want to consider the "diald"
package, for demand dialing, if you connect via modem. I have an old
PowerMac (running AOL for my kids) and two NT servers connected through
this kind of configuration.

Ipchains where made just for this. On the Win95 boxes all you must do is
change the gateway (TCP/IP properties) to the IP of the Linux box. Piece

You need to change the mount options on your Windows partition. Here's an
example from my /etc/fstab file:
/dev/sda8 /shared vfat umask=0,uid=500,nonumtail 0 0
The key item here is the umask=0 option, which tells the system to give
the partition world read/write/execute permissions.
BTW, I *STRONGLY* urge you *NOT* to do what another poster says he does:
run Netscape as root. You should **NOT** use the root account for
anything but system administration purposes, since that account provides
too much power. This means that if you slip up, you can hose your entire
system. What's more, running Netscape, some stranger who puts up a
malicious web page could hose your entire system, though I've not heard of
any cases where this has actually happened.

All slaves have the same /etc/ntp.conf:

The master has as /etc/ntp.conf:
server external
driftfile /etc/ntp/drift
Replace master and external by what is right for you.

I found the problem. Out of the box (or ftp install) RedHat uses
a program called pump for getting DHCP/BOOTP information.
There is a bug in this program, where it doesn't get the name
server information. Upgrading to the 1.0 version of pump
solved the problem. I belive the buggy version of pump was
0.7 (or something).

Date: Tue, 14 Sep 1999 19:22:42 +0200
I am using SuSe Linux 6.2 (Kernel 2.2.10 and PCMCIA 3.0.13-7)
My Laptop has the ip-address 192.168.1.242 and another Linux-PC (no
PCMCIA!!) has the ip-address 192.168.1.1. , which works correctly with
other PC's in the local network.
The cardmgr recognizes the D-Link 660 correctly (I think). ping to the
own host-address (192.168.1.242) works correctly, too. But when I send a
ping to the other Linux-PC (IP-address 192.168.1.1), it does not work.
With tcpdump on the 192.158.1.1 you can see the arp-request from the
PCMCIA-PC and the 192.168.1.1-PC sends an arp-reply, (which you can see
with tcpdump too)
But on the PCMCIA-PC you see only the arp-request of the PCMCIA-PC and
no other network traffic.
Does anybody know, what is wrong?

Hi,
I am hoping someone can help me with this. Basically I have a bunch of
devices that are managed using serial cables only. I want to hook these
devices to my ethernet network so I can telnet to them. Right now I
have a couple of these devices plugged into a linux box and I use
Minicom to talk to them, but I'd like something a bit more
sophisticated. Basically what I want is the flexability of the
Portmaster. I want to be able to assign a IP address to a serial port
so that when I sit down at my PC (not the linux box) and I type
telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx it just takes me straight into the serial
device. I've been looking for a while for something that does this and
I have been very unsuccessful.

Actually if you use the clone utility you can copy it to a HD to make
it boot, however it will still require the startup floppy (only for
configuration info, NOT for booting).. I'm not sure why I still need
that disk.. Anyway, if you don't use the clone utility, you can still
just boot all the floppies each time you need to reboot. Which is slow
and painful. However, once the floppies are loaded, the OS runs without
any disks at all.
I had no problem getting MuLinux to recognize my NIC card. I have a D-
Link 220 which actually uses the NE2000 driver (oh yay). Because there
was no direct support for my card (there isn't a D-Link driver for
Linux either) I actually had to use the DOS configuration utility for
my NIC card to TURN OFF PNP mode. Heh, this is really important.
Especially on PC's without PNP support! And then I specified a memory
address and interrupt and then passsed that info to the NE2000 driver
(During the MuLinux setup it asks you for any additional info for the
driver and I typed something like io=0x320 irq=11.. check the docs for
the specific syntax) But as soon as I did that, it worked like a charm.
Also, you can save your configuration after you answer all of the setup
questions using the setup command.
Hope that helps. If you'd like any additional help, write me direct
since I don't check back here too often, at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you're familiar with Berkeley-style sockets, it's not hard. Linux
2.2.x has a socket interface to raw-IP and raw-Ether packets.
For some documents to get you started, check out these man pages:
ip(4)
raw(4)
packet(4)
socket(2)
socket(4)
If you're a UNIX newbie and not just a Linux newbie, this might be more
work than you want to deal with. On the other hand, there's no better
way to learn than to start writing code.

It tries to resolve names when you telnet. So put the host names and IP

on the 172.27.0.0 side of the network ?!?!???! and the system admin
made me shut down the research project. I really think Linux routing
could save our company a lot of money and trouble. I don't understand
how the second ip alias of 172.27.222.222 conflicted with 172.27.14.1.
I think maybe it had something to do with routing discovery on the
172.30.0.0 side of the network. Whenever something tried to go to
172.27.14.1, they would get the Linux machine on the 172.30.91.62 side.
Weird as hell??!?!? I don't know what could have caused this! Thanks
for all your help, I hope I can try again soon.

HI,
I just got my hands on a 3COM Netbuilder II 8 Ports with
RS232
V.35
Token Ring Interface's
The intention is to try and learn as much as I can from this machine, does
anybody have any idea how I can do this the best way.
For instance to configure the machine Do I just link my pc and the
netbuilder machine with a ordinary serial cable from the console to the com1
port in my pc ??
If I would like it to understand Ethernet I have to aquire a Ethernet module
to insert into the netbuilder ?
If I would like to go to the Outside World what do I need in my case ?
I hope you can assist me in providing some nice links and hints ?
PS: I have already downloaded the PDF file's from the 3com website on the
hardware installation and configuration.
