I have a USR/3COM 56K v. 90 internal. I notice that when I do a "3COM
search" on www.pricewatch.com that this modem is frequently marked
(various vendors and prices):
...
Model 1171 / 1749
- Data/Fax/ Voice

Maybe these vendors are starting to get the picture?

dynamically assigning IP addresses has nothing to do with IP masquerading.
You need to set up a DHCP server for that. I really don't see why you'd want
to do that on a small home network.

uh-huh. You need SMTP server to send mail which also has to have a static
IP.
Theoretically, you can set up a DNS server which will resolve host names to
their IP addresses, but:
DNS server absolutey must have a static IP
There is a delay in updating the DNS entries. e.g. if the IP address of
mymailserver.com changes from x.x.x.x to y.y.y.y, DNS server will NOT update
the entry instantly. Every DNS entry has a time-to-live (TTL). It gets
updated when it expires.

Subject: Re: HELP!! Final attempt at Samba installation
Date: Thu, 01 Apr 1999 00:02:27 GMT
First, I'm no guru. I do have Samba running on my Redhat Linux based
machine, but aren't doing anything serious with it, yet. I've seen
several replies you've recieved, and would like to reinforce one of
them.
First things first. Is your TCP/IP networking set up correctly? If
it's not, Samba can't work. Can you ping from your Win95/98 machines
to the Linux PC? How about the other way? The first time I set up
Samba, I reconfigured the Win98 machine over and over before it would
see the server in any way.
Is samba even running on your server? From what you've written, my
impression is that Debian requires a higher level of administrator
input and just because you've installed and configured Samba, doen't
mean it was started at boot time.

You're using your Linux box as a proxy. You need to run some proxy
software such as SOCKS5.
Squid proxies ftp from web browsers. I wonder why that's not working.
Check squid.conf to make sure it's configured properly.
Good luck,

Subject: COM ports switching?
Date: Wed, 31 Mar 1999 20:06:17 GMT
My system:
homebuilt w/TX PRO II motherboard and Cyrix MII-300 CPU
64MB EDO
ATI All-in-Wonder 4MB PCI
CMI8330 on-board audio chipset
Zip Zoom SCSI card (Adaptec 152x)
6.4GB WD UDMA HD
I'm running Win98 and Linux-Mandrake 5.3 (Red Hat 5.2 + KDE) and have
developed a problem. My motherboard has two onboard serial ports, only one
of which is enabled via the BIOS. Up until a few days ago, the serial port
was COM1 and my modem (Motorola MODEMSURFR 56k) was listed as COM2. Now, for
no apparent reason, my serial port has become COM3 and my modem COM4. This
presents no problems in Win98, but under Linux I can't access the modem now.
The KPPP setup program finds the modem as /dev/cua3 (it can't use /dev/cua1
anymore), but the ATI tests return no codes and the dialer locks up at the
"setting modem speaker volume" screen.
So, my question is -- how do I force my serial port to stay as COM1? There
seem to be no jumpers on the motherboard that would be relevant for it.
Thanks,
Michael

Does anyone have any experience with IPIP and the tunelling modules in Linux
2.0.x (Specifically -- 2.0.36 in RH5.2). I can't for the life of me get
this to work outside of my LAN. Can anyone give me a sample setup for
talking between two machines?
Machine A is in the 10.0.0.0/24 subnet and Machine B is in 192.168.1.0/24.
Machine A's IP is 10.0.0.1, B's is 192.168.1.1. I want B to have
192.168.1.2.
Throw me a bone, guys =)
Is it possible my provider (Videotron Cable in Canada) is filtering out the
necessary packets? I believe this is transmitted through UDP. Is there an
easy way to test it?
Thanks in advance.

I've run into this problem twice. The first time it was because I had a
windmodem and didn't know it (I thought it seemed awefully inexpensive).
The second time, however, (this time with a US Robotics internal modem
with jumpers) the problem was with the IRQ and COM (cuan [where n is a
number between 0 and 3] in Linux) settings. Now if your modem is
external, you will have to consult your documentation on how to change
the IRQ and COM settings, but if it is internal, the only way to
configure the IRQ and COM settings manuyally is with jumpers. If you
don't have any jumpers, you either have a PnP (Plug and Play) modem or
you have a windmodem. I will assume that you do have jumpers.
The problem I ran into was that my mouse (serial mouse, not PS/2) was
already using COM1. Keep in mind that COM1 and COM3 use IRQ 4. COM2 and
COM4 use IRQ 3. So, I originally had my modem set to COM1 (IRQ4) so I
just switched the IRQ jumber to IRQ3 and the COM jumper to COM2. I don't
know if this addresses you problem, but this has been my experience.
-Matt
p.s. You might want to poke around your /proc directory to see what's
going on.

Start the machine in single user mode and correct your problem. It
sounds that the network card is not being configured correctly so check
the config of the card.

Subject: Printing to a QMS2425 printer
Date: Thu, 1 Apr 1999 13:29:46 -0600
I am trying to print to a QMS 2425 network printer. Currently the printer
only shows that a job appears, but the job is empty and nothing prints. I know
that at least it is talking to the printer because I can telnet to the printer
and then send a job and the printer queue updates, but the number of pages is
zero and the data size is zero. I am doing this using lpd and sending jobs
using who | lpr. Here is a copy of the relevant portion of my printcap file
t3qms:remote-t3qms:\
:lp=/dev/null:sh\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/t3:\
:if=/usr/lib/lpd/filter-t3:
t3qms-remote:\
:lp=/dev/null:sh:\
:rm=T3QMS:\
:rp=raw:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/t3-raw:
You can ignore the filter, it is a simple filter that calls t3qms-remote. I got
that off of a website or something. T3QMS is in my hosts as the printer IP. I
have tried many ways of setting this up and the HOWTO simply mentions that it
can be done, but doesn't say how. Even the remote printing section is a little
vague unless I am just reading it wrong (maybe, i've missed simpler things).
Anyway, if anyone can respond with a simple remote printing entry for printcap
or a solution, I would be much obliged.

Just to get the names right. The program you're running on your windows
machine is not the X-Client it's the X-Server, because it serves the
x-calls you're linux box is performing.
Common mistake. And very confusing at first.

Assuming you're on at least a base10 network, try VNC. You can port
you're wintel boxes to X or X on your wintel box's. You also can use
most WM's, including KDE for sure and maybe Gnome too. MIX is
available, simpler and a little faster but doesn't run as much X
software as VNC. It also will only do X on windows and not the other
way around.
VNC has it's own host software for both platforms but MIX only
requires on the linux
box, then you telnet in from windows and run Xterm & mimimize X,
that's it.
Here's links for both. VNC has binaries for both win32 and linux.

I have never done masquerading myself, but something about
masquerading modules comes to my mind. The right way to do it is
splitting the network.
My solution is based on these facts:
The wireless link is slower than the wired network.
The wireless "LAN" C is only a link between 2 linux boxes.
The number of computers in network A is about the same as in network
B.
You have official IP's for every network card
A big percentage of traffic stays inside network A and B, i. e. one
server in each network.
I'd suggest subnetting. You can split your network in 2 smaller ones.
Instead of using a full class C (254 hosts) with netmask 255.255.255.0
you use netmask 255.255.255.128 (=2X 126 hosts). Network A uses IP's
lower than ...127 and network B bigger than ...129.
This is explained in the IP subnetting mini howto.
This way you send the least traffic over the wirless link. Briding
sends every broadcast over the link.
You end up with these routing tables:
network B:
gateway: wired card on linux box in network B
linux box in network B (and "C"):
default route: wireless card
ip forwarding enabeled
wireless card:
private IP (192.196.0.1)
netmask 255.255.255.0
linux box in network A (and "C")
wireless card:
private IP (192.196.0.2)
netmask 255.255.255.0
ip forwarding enabeled
If you have a internet connection in A: default route: provider's
router
network A:
gateway: provider's router
With fixed IP's (no DHCP) you have to configure every computer. If
your link is fast enough: try

Hi thank you for your response Bob.
This is a new setup that never worked at the correct speed.
In the meantime I have done some additional testing and here are some
new facts:
When I ftp from client to server I get 5kb/sec. When I ftp from server
to client I get .7Mb/sec. An assymetric problem as you describe.
I run ping "ping -f -s 100", "ping -f -s 200" etc. between the two
machines and I get inceasing packet loss with increasing packet size.
Loss gets upto 35% -- too high. I also get duplicates.
On the client box, Ifconfig gives some frame errors:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:CC:27:4D:36
inet addr:192.168.0.27 Bcast:192.168.0.255
Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING PROMISC MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:2705 errors:179 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:179
The cards on the two machines
Server: eth0 to ISP Kingston 110TX using tulip driver
eth1 to LAN 3com 3c905
Client: eth0 to LAN LinkSys EtherFast 110TX (LNE 100) using Tulip
driver.

Hi,
After some months of struggling with diald and IP Masquerading, i've finally
set it upbut with some problems.
I am only able to access some websites. I suspect there might be some
problems with my ipfwadm rules, and included the rules under this message.
here's my setup :-
MY ISP == PPP ===Linux box -- Win98 clients
In case you require, I'm running the following services :-
Redhat 5.2 kernel 2.0.36
DNS
resolv.conf having the following :-
search my.domain
nameserver 10.0.0.10 (my linux box ip number which is a DNS server in my
local network)
nameserver 203.122.23.10 (MY ISP DNS server ip number) (am i require to put
my ISP dns ip numbers ???)
nameserver 203.122.23.20 (My ISP secondary ip number)
named.conf without the forwarder and slave statement (do i need the
forwarders and slave statement??)
IP masquerading and ip forwarding turn on
My win98 workstations are configured with the following :-
Gateway = pointing to my linux box which is connected to the internet by ppp
DNS contains my linux box ip number, and both my isp dns number (do i
require to put the isp dns ip number here??)
Oh yes, by the way, I'm intending to run samba, sendmail, apache, and
probably hylafax services in the same linux box as well, will there be a
problem with IP Masquerading and Forwarding ??? Will there be any conflict
with the rest of the service???
Thanks for your help in advance.

And not even being released makes it something I wouldn't put on a workstation with an itchy reset-finger, let alone a server. Them being based on RedHat is not my idea of a good recommendation. GUI tools and mature GUI ,, and a nice install is definately NOT something one should look at when looking at adding servers to a network. Debian does that job well. Sure, the install maybe a bit more difficult and may take a little while longer than RedHat, but in return you get a kickass server. Why Debian over RedHat? - Just compare the RedHat errata to its counterpart at Debian. Only a handfull of vulnerable things at Debian as opposed to such a number of vulnerabilities that it would make Microsoft ashamed. - Upgrading? Debian beats RedHat hands-down. Upgrading from Debian 2.0 to Debian 2.1 is just a matter of two commands (short ones -- is there anything apt can't do?=). And you don't even have to reboot! AFAIK this is not the case for RedHat. - Stable? Debian 3, RedHat 0. The Debian team doesn't release anything unless they're 100% sure it works, and works well. RedHat releases when it thinks its MARKET is ready. This makes all packages more stable than .. uh.. something really, really stable. So, uhm.. Debian would be my pick.

Quick point: you'll probably want to use a number much higher than
28800 to allow for compression. There's no harm from using the max of
115200. (unless you're using a much slower modem - my 2400 didn't

That's curious... It should start spitting a jumble of odd characters
out when it's ready to start PPP. Perhaps it's using some
authentication that I don't know - PAP or CHAP - though I don't
*think* that it would ask for your login in that case. Did it work in
windows without tweaking?

That would point at bad cables in my experience.

A MUCH lower error rate.
Try replacing the cables.
(And, yes, you can see assymetric failures with bad twisted pair cables,
since one pair is Tx and one is Rx, the system with the icky Rx pair
will have problems receiving, though less problems sending.)
You may also want to see why you're running in promiscuous mode: that
will generate a LOT of extra interrupts (though not too bad on a
two-machine LAN).

I have just run
ifconfig eth0
and it knows the irq which is now 3 and the ioport which is now 300
but just typing ifconfig still doesn't see it
any ideas?

Actually, Ralf, Netscape did go open-source about 9 months or a year ago,
though I no longer know where to look for the sources.
Barring that, however, Lynx will certainly let you navigate, even if you do
have to download the graphics manually.

Hi,
I am trying to get Pine to recognize my local machine running
leafnode as the nntp server. Pine is looking for a .newsrc file, but
leafnode doesn't generate one AFAIK. I can't seem to figure the right
combination for Pine to do this. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks,

Sean, I think you need to walk down the hall and talk to Donald Becker
[ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] who will know if there is such a driver and
may even have a copy.
