Unlikely.  I've got an actual SOHOware 10/100 NIC, and it's DEFINITELY a
Macronix Tulip clone board.

You (Vidar) haven't stated whether you've actually got an NDC SOHOware
10/100 NIC.  It looks from your post as if you've just located a matching
string in the kernel source.  These things happen, and don't mean the
products are compatible.  If, OTOH, you have evidence that NDC has done a
switch on the design without changing their model number (or if there are
two different models of SOHOware NIC), then please elaborate.

Subject: How to split a TCP connection ?
Date: Tue, 20 Jul 1999 17:45:32 +0100

Hi again ;-)

I would like to split a TCP connection into two connections using linux.
I have two PC-linux connected through a TCP connection via a network
emulator. For test prupose, I want to have 2 TCP connections, one via 1
Network emulator, 1 via another network emulator.
Of course this is a proxy work, but someone know a software able to do
that ? (open src, if possible...). Will I need three PC's ?

Thank you
julien

Subject: Linux DNS  Windows CE name resolution
Date: Tue, 20 Jul 1999 17:48:05 GMT

I'm in a bit of a bind and would appreciate any help on this.

I've got a Windows CE client and a Linux DNS server.  When the CE client
fires up and tries to make a connection, it sends a query to the Linux DNS
server asking it who "webserver" is.

The Linux box ignores this request.

After a short period of time, the CE client will send a 2nd request to the
Linux DNS server again asking who "webserver" is.

The Linux box ignores it again.

Finally, on the 3rd request, the CE client will send the FQDN request -
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

The Linux box accepts responds to this with the correct IP address.

My question is:
1)  Can the Linux DNS server be configured to respond to just "webserver"
(maybe some kind of wildcard)?
2)  Can CE client be configured to send the FQDN from the get go?

Any help would be much appreciated.

... in other words, I specify the local IP address in Window's TCP/IP
configuration. I was just concerned, because the ISP's directions said
to choose Dynamic allocation there.  If dial-up adapter can still assign a
dynamic address and route most packets that way, then it should
work. Is this correct?

You specify  local IP address in Windows TCP/IP configuration for
_ethernet card_.  For dial-up adapter, you can still choose either
dynamic IP assignment or static IP assignment.  For every adapter, you
can choose a different IP.

Only possible problem might be that unlike IP addresses, default
gateways, etc., there can be only on DNS configuration.  If you need
to use internal DNS, this might cause problems if you don't know what
you're doing.

Anyway, it will work.

If what I wrote above is true, then I have another question: does Win
have a routing table? If not, how can I tell it to talk to the linux box
when it sees its IP address but send everything else via the dial-up
adapter?

Yes, it does.  Try 'route print' in a dos prompt.

I am a newbie to Linux (less than a week on this OS)

I want to basicly do the same thing but i have a stupid winmodem in my
 win98
machine that i want to use to dial the internet and then use a proxy
 app to
have linux connect to and be able to see the internet.  Is this
 possible??

I believe so, but it's far more complex and involved than getting a real
modem, putting it in the linux box and then connecting with that.


Also I would like to do printer shareing from the WIN98 machine to allow linux
to print to this printer.  Can I also do this??

You need to use SAMBA.

Luca Filipozzi [EMAIL PROTECTED] scribed to us that -
 Am I correct that only traffic with an address on the other subnet gets
 routed?

Trafic on one subnet will not pass to the other unless you have
masquerading active on the Linux box.

I would not use .255, as this is a special address, use something like
192.168.1.* and 192.168.0.* for the two different subnets. Then you can do
something like

ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 up
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 up

route add -net 192.168.0.0 eth0
route add -net 192.168.1.0 eth1

Or whatever.

Does this mean that I've been hacked???

I should say so.

Coul;d have this person have done any damage??

More than likely. Unless they were just playing around.

And am installing kernel 2.2.6 with ip chains, will this help to ensure
that I'm safe???

If I were you, I would re-install this box, and change the passwords.
They could have left trojan programs and/or taken all your passwords
(including your dial-up password if you have it on the box.)

 If the machines are connected direct, there cannot be any collisions.  Two wires
 are for transmit and two wires are for receive.  This is why you need a crossover

 Computer "A" Computer "B"
 
 Xmit ---Rec
   Rec---Xmit
 
 There cannot be a collision.  One computer the Xmit is connected directly to the
 Rec and the Rec is connected directly to the Xmit.
 
 With a Hub, all the Xmit's are connected on the same side, and all the Rec's are
 connected on the same side.  It's up to the Hub to allow only one Xmit or Rec at
 a time between one set of computers.  If two sets of computers try to communicate
 to the same computer at the same time, there is a possibility of a collision.

  "A hub takes any incoming signal and repeats it out all ports."

That is, a hub is just a multi-port repeater.
It makes _NO_ decisions about the communication going on between
machines.

   Perhaps I am wrong, but I thought a hub simply made the appropriate
   electrical connections.  That is, to my knowledge, a hub does not
   deal with packets, only with electronics.  (If it deals with packets
   and distributes them to their destinations appropriately, then it
   is probably a switch.  Granted, one could say "hub" and mean
   "switching hub", but in those context (microhubs) that's probably
   not the idea.)
 
   So, in my understanding, you're *just* as likely to have packets
   collide on a two host network whether or not you have a hub.

Well, I'm having a problem getting DHCP to work. I have Red Hat 5.2 and I've
read both HOWTO's on dhcpcd and cablemodems. I've gone as far as rewriting the
scripts and still nothing works...if I set the modem as a static IP (which I'm
really stealing use of an IP) it works just fine. And I can get dhcpcd to work
if I manually set -h switch to my host name.

If any one has any answers than send me an e-mail.

Thanks
