There are two ways that I can think of to do this:
1. use NFS. The How-To is here:
http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/NFS-HOWTO
2. use Samba. I don't have the How-to address handy but it's probably on
your machine.
NFS was designed for unix but IMO it's hard to configure. Samba is actually
intended to allow linux to serve directories to windows machines, but it has
a client program too so there's no reason you can't make it work for two
linux systems.
hope that helps

Some cheap 10BaseT hubs also have a BNC on the back - a cheap 4-port
hub with BNC should be easy enough to locate if you can't find a
specific adapter.
I do have such an adapter, although its age and exact origin is
unknown. Looking at the case, it claims to be made by "Transition
Engineering Inc" and appears to have a part number of E-CX-TBT-03. No
idea whether the company still exists though.

You need to say what Linux distribution you have.
If Red Hat, most people are using pump (upgrade to latest version, > 0.7)
If Slackware, most people seem to be using dhclient (me too).
etc.
Look in /etc and search for *.conf. There should be dhcpd.conf, dhclient.conf,
etc. for non-Red Hat distributions.
Some have GUI setups.
Anyway, post distribution and many will help you from there.

StarOffice is a memory hog - I am suprised it opens that quickly.
Netscape is also not known for being a small footprint application. With
only 32M of RAM you will be swapping to disk a lot if you try to run
both at once.
IIRC Star Office uses around 24M RAM so I think you best bet is to get
some more memory. I did and it makes quite a difference....

Date: Wed, 15 Sep 1999 18:08:03 GMT
Thanks for the post! If you don't mind, I have a couple of questions:
1. Did you get a lot of entries in /var/log/messages from identd
telling you that 127.0.0.1 had connected? If yes, do you still get
those entries? If you got rid of them, how did you? I think they
come from sendmail when fetchmail starts each session with it, but
don't know how to get rid of them.
2. Do you modify the e-mail headers when you route locally? Since
you have an account on an ISP, the FROM and REPLY TO fields need to be
that account's e-mail address, right? That way, external recipients
can reply back to the account on the ISP. But, when a local user
sends to another local user, do you modify the fields to reflect the
local system, so replies don't have to go from the replying local user
to the ISP and then back down to the original local user?
In exchange for any information you provide, since you mentioned that
IP Masquerading is next for you, here's a URL to a site that was
incredibly helpful when I was working on my firewall. They even have
a solid, well documented sample rules script you can start with.

Subject: AutoPPP and assigning ip numbers based on port!
Date: Wed, 15 Sep 1999 18:42:59 GMT
It's simple enough to enable AutoPPP and allow Windows DUN users to
dial-in with PAP. However, to make the process simple for the remote
user the system needs to autoassign an ip address to each PPP client.
I realize this can be done within the options file like so:
aa.bb.cc.dd:ww.xx.yy.zz
where aa.bb.cc.dd is the server and ww.xx.yy.zz is the client. But how
does this work with AutoPPP? I can only specify one options file for
AutoPPP to call when bringing up pppd, so how can I assign an ip
address to each port?
Better yet, is there a better way? Any help or advise would be greatly
appreciated!

Hi,
I've got 3PC's, two running Linux one running Win98, they're all connected
by a 4 port 100MBs Netgear HUB. Each machine has a Netgear FA310TX (tulip)
card and one linux box has another cheap PCI NIC. I've just downloaded a
10mb file from one of the Linux machines and it came down at 5347ish KB/s.
This is fine. I've just downloaded another file which was 70MB and it only
managed to get 2000ish KB/s and I noticed the collision light on my hub was
on a helluva a lot. Is this normal?

Although I admire your attempt to post a solution, I don't believe you have thought
about
the long term impact of what you have done at your end by configuring your system for
static IP assignment, along with the impact of others adopting your solution.
Before long, your "lease" on that IP address will "expire" with the DHCP server that
your
ISP is running. (pump --status will print the "lease" information that you ethernet
card
has for that IP address). But once that lease expires, that IP address goes back into
the
pool of "available" IP addresses for the next ISP user attempting to connect over
ADSL. At
that time, there will be duplicate IP addresses attempting to access the internet with
different MAC addresses. Trust me, your ISP will eventually figure this out and knock
one
of you off their system because of complaints. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to
figure
out that the DHCP registered MAC/IP address is valid and the other is the culprit. In
short, your system will be knocked off by your ISP.
If I was you, I would be trying to work with your ISP in trying to resolve why your
system is unable to work when configured for DHCP assignment. Eventually, what you have
done (going static) is going to backfire on you.
You might want to take a look at "man dhcpd" and "man pump" There is some good
information
contained in the manuals, especially on "theory of operation" with regards to DHCP.

Subject: Re: How do you configure a second NIC?
Date: Wed, 15 Sep 1999 16:00:45 -0400
linuxconf should give you a nice GUI interface for adding the second nic
card.
You did not specify what type of NIC cards you have. If they are PCI there
should be
no problem. However, if they are ISA cards you usually must specify the io
address
of each card (and in some instances the irq as well.
When I set up a system like this with ISA cards I had a problem in that the
second card
was always being interpretted as eth0. I finally figured out it was a quirk
with the way linuxconf
creates the /etc/conf.modules file. When entering the io address for eth0
put both values
separated by commas. Do the same for eth1. (If you must enter the irq
values follow the same
procedure. This will make you /etc/conf.modules file look something like
this:
alias eth0 ne
alias eth1 ne
options ne io=0x300,0x320
This should then get you going with like ISA NIC cards.

I would suggest tutning off kdebug in the pppd options. It makes it hard
to read and (at least I) cannot make any use of the kdebug output.

This appears to be the crucial line. I do not know where they got this
from?
Anyway, I would suggest trying NOT to do login authentication, but
rather trying pap/chap. Ie, terminate the chat string with
CONNECT '\d\c'
and see what happpens.

Would you tell me how you start pppd up in dial-on-demand mode and how
you have it setup?
