Hi,
I'm trying to set up two of my Amigas for Internet access. My A4000
has the modem and my A3000 is connected through the parallel port
using magPLIP. Both machines talk to each other fine but I'm
having problems with the DNS on the A3000.
Here is my set up:
+-------+ +-------+
| | parallel port | | Internet w/
| A3000 |--- using magPLIP ---| A4000 |-- MODEM --> Dynamic IP
| | | | (using PPP)
+-------+ +-------+
100.100.100.1 100.100.100.0
(alias a3000) (alias a4000)
Both of these machines communicate fine between each other, and only
have problems once SOCKS5 is introduced. :(
Below are my current settings on both Amigas.
On both Amigas I have aliases in Database/Hosts for
A4000 (100.100.100.0) and A3000 (100.100.100.1).
On the A3000, the socks5 program is ran immediately after running
Genesis. I don't even have to be connected with magPLIP.
The A4000 never runs socks5 correctly.
Server (A4000 with MODEM; 100.100.100.0)
----------------------------------------
Interfaces/Interface = PPP
magPLIP IP: 100.100.100.0
Dest: 100.100.100.1
Gateway: dynamic
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Interfaces/Resolv = No domain name servers or local hostnames.
They are in the PPP interface section.
Options/Advanced = Gateway checked
Database/Services = socks 1080/tcp and socks 1080/udp
Database/Inetd = socks stream tcp nowait root
AmiTCP:serv/socks5 socks5 -i
socks dgram udp nowait root
AmiTCP:serv/socks5 socks5 -i
SocksServer/Commands = auth - - -
route 100.100.100. - 100.100.100.0
permit - - 100.100.100. - - - -
SocksServer/Passwords = none
Socks = Enable SOCKS Wrapper is not checked
Client (A3000; 100.100.100.1)
-----------------------------
Interfaces/Interface = magPLIP IP: 100.100.100.1
Dest: 100.100.100.0
Gateway: dynamic
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Interfaces/Resolv = I have the domain name servers and local
hostname entries that are present in my
PPP connection on the A4000.
Options/Advanced = Gateway not checked
Database/Services and
Database/Inetd = no entries for socks
SocksServer = none
Socks/General = Enable SOCKS Wrapper is checked
Server: 100.100.100.0 Port: 1080
Fake all hosts is not checked
Log level is currently at Debug (16)
Use current user is selected
Socks/Filters = noproxy all 100.100.100. - -
socks5 all - - - 100.100.100.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------
On the A4000 I got an error when a connection attempt is made from
the A3000. SOCKS5 says it can't find etc/socks5.conf and never
runs. This file does exist in the AmiTCP:db directory. So I have
made an assign of etc: to that directory and it seems to have solved
this problem on the Server side.
On the A3000 I get an error stating the "db/interfaces:1" could not
be found.
Everything seems to work OK as long as I use the doted IP address.
What doesn't work (on the client) is the DNS. I have the same
IP addresses entered on the client that I have on the server (for
the PPP connection) but the client cannot resolve the names.
I tried PINGing the DNS and it worked fine from the A4000 but the
A3000 would send the pings out but never receive a reply.
I hope this is enough information so you can help me figure out
what's wrong.
Thank you very much for taking the time to help me with this
problem. I think my situation is a very typical usage of SOCKS, so
I believe it should be able to be resolved.
Thanks again.
Lamar
