Are you adding a host or a gateway?
try route add 134.99.162.0 mask 255.255.255.0 <gateway address.>
if all the 134.99.162 net can go to that gateway.

What about the subnet mask ? Is it 255.255.255.0 or 255.255.0.0 ???
It can't work if you are using the first one (class C) !

Hi there Andy
You should enable the following:
- ip forwarding in /etc/sysconfig/network (ip-forwarding = YES)
- add a default route to your routing table for your cable-modem device (see
NET3-HOWTO)
- Enable IP-masquerading
- Set-up a firewall (ipchains)
I am currently working on a HOWTO for this stuff.... be patient.

Date: Fri, 17 Sep 1999 15:14:55 GMT
I ping using the ip address. Just good ol' xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx type. And
the NT boxes can ping each other, just not my linux box. And, as I said
earlier, my linux box can ping all of them.
To attempt to open shares on the Linux/samba box, I have used various
means, including the run command (\\servername\share), and the net
neighborhood shortcut. I get the same response: "Share cannot be found
on the network." This is no surprise, since tcp/ip must be working
correctly for samba to work correctly. I suspect that as soon as I can
ping my linux box from the NT boxes, I will be able to open samba shares
via the "network neighborhood" shortcut, dos box, run command, or
whatever other means are available.
Incidentally, there is a win95 box on the otherwise completely NT lan,
and it is responding the same way, which REALLY boggles me, since my
little server works perfectly on my lan in my shop, which has
win31/95/98 boxes.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Here is what I have already setup:
I'm Running Redhat 6.0 with ipmasquerading enabled.
I have an account on my isp. My isp picks up all the mail that goes to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] then delivers it to my local account.
I have my linux box dial my isp and use fetchmail to grab all the mail
that my isp has deliver to my mailbox. -I don't have a dedicate phone
line so staying connected is not an options -A static ip is not an
options either.
Now that I have the mail on my box, How do I sort these mails on my
linux box and deliver these mail to the correct users mailbox so that it
can be accessed by windows 95/98 machine on the lan. How can I get this
done without going back to NT?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Date: Fri, 17 Sep 1999 15:19:44 GMT
I've read your post several times and I'll have to admit that it is
tempting to do what you suggest. However, I'm concerned with the
implications of renaming my domain to the same as that of my ISP.
Certainly there must be other things that get affected by such a move.
My first question here is: how will our DNS look ups be affected? If
we have mediaone.net on one side of the firewall, and mediaone. net on
the other, how will our caching server determine that a mediaone.net
host is not in the internal net and go out to the internet to get it?
Also, won't having the same domain names cause confusion for our
internal hosts? And, how about the ISP? Won't they find out that I'm
using their domain name?
I already compiled a list of all the files that have to change if I
want to change my domain name (see below). But I'm unsure about
problems not occuring...
/etc/HOSTNAME
/etc/dhcpd.conf
/etc/exports
/etc/hosts
/etc/httpd/apache/conf/httpd.conf
/etc/mail/relay-domains
/etc/named.conf
/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/samba.d/smb.conf
/etc/sysconfig/network

strange, I run 6.2 and I have never had any problems. I usually connect with
long addresses but no problems. anyway, I'll have a deeper look.

Don't know about RH 6 in particular, but on Unix/Linux in general
the jet direct printserver appears on the network as a remote Unix
machine with print queues called 'raw' and 'text', as I recall.
You need the HP Jetadmin software from www.hp.com (which MAY be
availaible in a Linux version; if not, get the w95 or whatever version)
to discover what those ip addresses are on the jetdirect box, or
to set them with a valid network address if the addresses have not
been set. Then you edit your local /etc/printcap file as described
in the Printing HOWTO at metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO
giving the parameters rm=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx(jetdirect IP address) and
queue = raw. I'm glossing over details; but a quick reading of that
howto will fill you in.
