Tomislav, go to linuxdoc.org and read all the documentation pertaining to
general setup and ppp. That is the first stage. It will take you a week
or so. Then lurk here for a week or two. That's the second stage. Then
you should be able to post a more specific question.

I have a Linksys Hub (5 dual-speed 10Base-T/100BaseTX Autosensing ports)
and a Linksys LNE100TX PCI NIC card.
The second diskette with the NIC has a linux directory with a copy of
tulip.c on it.
I am using Mandrake 6.0. I followed the instructions at
http://www.linksys.com/support/solution/nos/linux_lne100tx.htm#module for
recompile
module method. The only difference I noted was that the include
directory -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet
did not exist in my source distribution. I guessed at using ipv4 instead of
inet and all went fine
except the compile generated two warnings about ambiguous else statements.
Other than that all worked well. I have tested it communicating with a Win
98 box with a D-Link
DFE530 card and Win 98 and Linux running with a 3c574 card. At this point
all seems fine.

If you only have one route to the Internet you don't need gated or routed.
Remove the package. DHCP will take care of setting your default route, and
that's all you need to worry about.
gated/routed are only needed if you have multiple routes to the Internet;
they manage routing table entries so that the most efficient single path of
the several available paths is used.

The Windows client I used for testing was very unconfigurable and barely
told me any technical details at all. I would assume that all of the IPsec
configuration would need to be performed at the central host, which is why
I recommend you speak to your VPN administrator.
The use of a SecurID token has no bearing on the AH/ESP configuration
issue, as the SecurID token only provides authentication that you're you.

Try using fips on the red hat cd \dosutils directory for partitioning if the
drive is under 8 meg
and use lilo to dual boot.
install each operating system in to its own partition and
install the default Operating system loaders in there own partitions.
install redhat last taking note of what is installed where.
then edit /etc/lilo.conf and add the relivent entrys for each os
make sure lilo is installed in the mbr of the drive...
eg hda not hda5 as caldera trys to
note to remove type (in dos) fdisk /mbr
instructions for the windows entry of lilo are in red hat.
if you by partition majic it can do all this to but why spend money.

Actually, you have a 1 week "lease" on the IP address. So if you
don't fire up the cable modem for a week (like if you're on vacation),
when you come back you'll probably have a new IP.

Computone's INTELLISERVER and INTELLISERVER-II do approximately what
you want. I have several INTELLISERVERs.
If the intelliserver's hostname is "iserver", then from another host
you'd type e.g.
telnet iserver 9003
to connect directly to serial port 3, assuming the intelliserver is
configured correctly (see the chapter on "reverse TCP and printing"
in their user manual).

What happens if you do "ping 216.13.42.2" from NT when Linux is
connected via PPP?
Even if you get a reply, it won't work if your ISP is not routing
10.22.100.0 to your (fixed?) 216.13.42.2 address.
Most people are choosing 192.168.*.0 for C class private networks (read
the NET-3-HOWTO) and IP-Masquerading or some kind of http/ftp caching
proxy server on the Linux box:
Masquerading:

Are you looking for a driver for your specific network card? If so,
what
network card? Or are you looking for PCMCIA support for your Thinkpad?
You can get the latest PCMCIA Card Services for Linux at:
http://hyper.stanford.edu/HyperNews/get/pcmcia/home.html
Last I looked, v 3.0.14 is the latest. I'm running a Thinkpad 600
(2645-51U) with RedHat 6 and this version of card services, and it works
wonderfully.

192.168.0.0/24 is a class C network:
Network = 192.168.0.0
Netmask = 255.255.255.0
Hosts = 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.254
Broadcast = 192.168.0.255
From the NET-3-HOWTO :
"These classes provide a number of standard size networks that could be
allocated. The ranges allocated are:
----------------------------------------------------------
| Network | Netmask | Network Addresses |
| Class | | |
----------------------------------------------------------
| A | 255.0.0.0 | 0.0.0.0 - 127.255.255.255 |
| B | 255.255.0.0 | 128.0.0.0 - 191.255.255.255 |
| C | 255.255.255.0 | 192.0.0.0 - 223.255.255.255 |
|Multicast| 240.0.0.0 | 224.0.0.0 - 239.255.255.255 |
----------------------------------------------------------
" <end of quotation>
So, for instance, 192.0.0.0 is a class C network too.
Linux automaticaly recognizes the network class of an IP address:
[root@localhost /]# for a in 122 172 192 ; do ifconfig dummy0 $a.168.0.1 \
> ; ifconfig dummy0 | grep Mask ; done | column -t
inet addr:122.168.0.1 Bcast:122.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet addr:172.168.0.1 Bcast:172.168.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0
inet addr:192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
Note the different Network Masks and how look the broadcast addresses.

I went through this and about went crazy. I asked everyone and
NO body knew the answer. BTW, off hand, I don't even know what
an IP chain is. I do know this: I have a quaint 1992 486 running
as my Internet server and my other computers are networked to it
and can do anything with the Internet they like - EXCEPT ftp!
What's up? I still have no clue, but I did find the answer.
When you start ftp, use the "passive" command. Why do I have no
idea what this command does? Go to 'man ftp' and type
'/passive'. That's right...there's nothing there. BUT ftp works
after that. You can do a 'help passive' in ftp and get a
down right Microsoft-like help message. If this works for you
great. If you figure out what's really going on and how I can
configure lynx to behave this way too, let me know. Good luck.
[This is my first posting here and I'm kind of unsure about
this form box in lynx. I hope it looks ok. Couldn't be any
worse than NS :-/ ]

What netmask are you using? 255.255.0.0 ?
If it is 255.255.255.0 you have the two boxes on different nets and
they will not be able to talk to each other.
It is likely that you have configured win98 == win98 && lin == lin but
win98 != lin. check your setup.

Check out www.moongroup.com and look for mail help on 'masquerading the
envelope'. Great site for mail problems, with a good mailing list too.

Ruel,
I found that if you press and hold (for 10+ seconds) the reset switch
on the back of the cable modem (when your linux box is up), the cable
modem will then read the MAC on your card and then it will work.
Nothing works before this.

Subject: similar problem
Date: Wed, 15 Sep 1999 18:40:57 -0400
I have a problem related to this issue:
I'm running Samba on a Suse6.1 system and before I turned on IP_Forwarding, I could
hit a
Samba share from the internal interface (eth0) but not from the external one
(eht1). Of course, IP Masquerading didn't work either but that's beside the point.
Now I have masquerading up and running but my Samba server is visible to the rest of
the
world!
Where does one assign a daemon to an interface? I would think inetd.conf but that�s
not it.

Subject: ether16 with linux, need help
Date: Wed, 15 Sep 1999 22:20:00 -0400
I can't get redhat 6.0 to work with my network card (Linksys Ether16
combo). I have disable the PnP mode and I'm using ne.c module. I have
rebuilt the kernel with 2.2.11 to support USB mouse which works now. In
conf.module, I have added the appropriate option (io=0x300, irq=3).
During bootup, it says something like...
/sbin/ipx-(something) inappropriate network address 000000
eth0 delay startup
(something I forgot)..............................FAILED (in red)
I downloaded ne2k diagnostic from Don's ftp site and it says that NE2000
found at 0x300, but one the 2nd line it says
Register Misalignment (0x30d) is ff.
Please help, I have tried everything that I can think of.
Daniel
