I have a little inconsistancy though, and wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that computer A has internet access presently (still working on my firewall) and thus more protocols, etc. than computer B. Here's what happens when I restart both computers: Computer A doesnt prompt for a password for Windows login. Computer A does prompt for a Samba password, but doesnt remember it, even when saving is checked. Computer B does prompt for a password for Windows login, and wont let me see the SMB server until I login properly. Computer B doesn't prompt for a Samba password, and lets me access the SMB server without hesitation. I have deleted my .pwl files on both machines, and rebuilt new .pwl files, but still get the same results. Both computers now show Computer A, Computer B, and the SMB Server in the Network Neighborhood. And when I open the Server from Computer A or B, I see only their respective directories on the server, and nothing else (good). I have yet to make a shared directory on the SMB server, but the simple things first. Also, note that computers A and B both have a single folder on their drives that are shared, but no permissions have been given to any users. This is a "leftover" from my Windows Net Neighborhood prior to my Linux server (I had simple sharing only then). My guess is that Computer B is correctly logging in, even though both Network Neighborhoods are configured the same, except for the differences found in Computer A (Computer A is configured for Internet login to local ISP).

Date: Thu, 10 Jun 1999 08:43:44 +0200 I have a number of NT servers, and they're not THAT bad. They stay up for a couple of months at a time. I wouldn't consider ANY mission critical database on an NT server, because they simply don't appear to hold up in my expierence. I agree, a NT server prolly wouldnt, but a NT cluster will. Once again, we run both our Unix servers and our NT servers (Volvo Aero is converting all rdbms to NT) with a maximum of eight hour service unavailability / year. I have a linux box that I'm running on a P100 notebook with 32megs of ram, and it outperforms my P166 server with 64 for fileserving, and I don't have to reboot it except to take it home. A change to the shares takes less than a minute, as do almost any other type of change to the system. I'm not saying that Linux is what I would choose for a couple hundred gig database, I'd probably go with something like Solaris or VMS, but only because those are a bit more time honed. Linux is the KILLER OS for small to mid sized shops, and it's getting to the point where it will be good enough for true enterprise size shops. Im not disagreeing there either. Linux is fast, stable, and faily easy to set up with a little bit of work. Anyway, I think that's enough rambling for now.

Apologies to Apache Week, but I don't have their page bookmarked, I only saved the informatiom. First published in Apache Week issue 37 (18th October 1996). Using User Authentication There are two ways of restricting access to documents: either by the hostname of the browser being used, or by asking for a username and password. The former can be used to, for example, restrict documents to use within a company. However if the people who are allowed to access the documents are widely dispersed, or the server administrator needs to be able to control access on an individual basis, it is possible to require a username and password before being allowed access to a document. This is called user authentication. Setting up user authentication takes two steps: firstly, you create a file containing the usernames and passwords. Secondly, you tell the server

I have 2 O2's running IRIX 6.5 and an Origin running IRIX 6.4. I have both versions of IRIX binding to the NIS servers. YPWHICH and YPMATCH/YPCAT all work just fine. Here's my problem. I can not login with a user account that was created on the Linux box and can only be authenticated thru NIS. When I try to login is get - 'UX: login: ERROR: login incorrect' - as if the account was invalid. Now if I remove a user account from the local passwd file so that NIS has to be consulted it works fine. I am using shadow accounts on the SGI's but the Sun's are the same way and work just fine. I have added the '+' to the /etc/passwd files and as you can see above they all appear to be checking NIS for authentication. Any hints, tips, etc., are extremely appreciated. Thanks BTW.

It actually seems it is not a routing problem. I tried connecting to another ISP (a friends', so I still need to fix the problem) and everything worked fine. The discovery I made was that with the first ISP (mine) the local ip address was not being assigned properly. My eth0 ip is 192.168.22.42 and this was the address the remote server was assigning me for ppp0. The second ISP assigned a local address that was in the same domain as the server I was connected to (remote ip). This is the correct situation as I understand it. Does anyone know why this is so, is it something at my end or something at the server end. Chris Chapman wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]...

(I'm sure your mother is a very nice and very intelligent person, BTW.) She thinks Windows is confusing because she doesn't handle icons and graphics well. The majority of her computing life has been spent on Trash-80's, Apple ][ series computers, UNIX (non-administratively), etc. She's very set in her ways, and very used to command-line life. She loves the SCO server at the office because the command line is straightforward. She was sad to see DOS go. Now, if there's one thing I've learned from Linux, it's this. It's a good toaster. Once you can plug it in and learn to set it so it won't burn the bread, you can pretty much press the button and get quality toast for life. Linux is NOT tricky to use. It IS, however, tricky to administrate for a while. Once you set it up correctly, though, it really does take care of itself. Linux doesn't give you the solution (Win98 tries to...it doesn't solve much, but...). It gives you the tools to come up with whatever solution you think is necessary. For my family's business, this is really really simple: 1) Set up Linux- configure system for dialup networking and SLIP networking 2) Set up script to get the keybindings for the custom terminal emu. correct. 3) Alias a suite of personal commands that my mother likes. Lock and load- we're done. Maybe I customize them a little WindowMaker root menu or something...leave a dockapp laying around so they can easily restart the dialup. Their other choice is a $300 program from their office solution supplier that's nothing more than a program to run telnet over a SLIP LAN with some special keybindings. And my mom is still trapped in a look-and-feel she hates. This isn't too out-there, either. I've seen a lot of tech column articles about people setting up Linux boxes for their relatives/friends/etc who are computer idiots but love Linux because "it's so simple." A properly configured Linux box is VERY easy to use.

It can't be explained in a short reply. Let me list the big steps, to direct your attention. 1) recompile your kernel to support masqerading and reboot. 2) issue the appropriate forwarding policy using ipfwadm (once you are sure of the commands, you can put them in rc.local) (also, make sure you allow forwarding) 3) Configure your 5 plus windows 98 machines to use your linux machine as a gateway. You can either make your linux box be a DNS or tell the windows machines to use whatever your ISP gave you as a DNS.

It is very detailed and very specific to exactly what you want (and I wanted) to do. However, I'm not feeling patient

Win98 comes with the client for "Microsoft Networks" and Netware, so no additional software will be required, but if you choose to use NFS, you'll have to acquire and install a (likely commercial) NFS client on each Win98 system. 2) TCP/IP enabled on each of the Win98 systems, and 3) A suitable file system driver installed on Linux (i.e. VFAT, DOS, etc.) Since you are using a ZIP drive, you'll probably be exchanging disks with other systems, and these disks are likely to be formatted for MSDOS/Windows, rather than Linux.

I have a couple problems here. I have recently acquired a few old 486's for a home network for practice. My main machine is a P2-400, which has a Netgear FA-310TX 10/100(tulip driver) Ethernet PCI card. My P2-300 laptop has a Netgear FA-410TX(pcnet_cs driver) PCMCIA card. The laptop is running RH 6.0, and the tower is running Slackware 4.0 beta 3, both pretty much configured ala cookbook out of 'The Linux Network'. When I connect the two thru a hub, I can ping btwn the two, but the results are kind of odd. One ping will be fairly quick, say 0.5 ms, and the next one will be around 1 _second_, followed by the same pattern until I kill ping. Has anyone ran into this before? I'm fairly sure that I probably overlooked something on the laptop, as it has been configured pretty much on the run when I get a chance, but I am at a loss as to just what I missed. As to the old 486's (and one P-60), I had intended to network them together w/ the tower and the laptop, using more FA-310TX PCI cards. That is, until I opened up the P-60 (a Compaq DeskPro XE 560) and realized that it apparently doesn't _have_ a PCI slot. I really don't want to 'cripple' my network by having part of it at 10MB instead of 100MB, plus my original Netgear FE104 four port hub is 100MB, and dual speed hubs/switches look rather expensive relative to 100MB hubs. Is there a 100MB ISA NIC out there that works w/ linux, and hopefully *BSD? Or is the ISA bus speed too limiting? Any assistance is appreciated.

According to my slightly provocative subject :) i wonder if the romours talk true - i've read it in some computer magazines. So whats the main advandages of linux compared to windows? (I'm a kind of new to this :) 1) Reliability -- Linux boxes don't go down. In four years of running Linux I've NEVER had a kernel panic on a production system. Compare this to the, on average, monthly BSODs on my NT 4.0 server (both the Linux Apache and NT IIS servers are running on PII/266 boxes, 128M RAM, 5.7 Gig IDE, 5 Gig SCSI). 2) Performance -- The magazine articles you mentioned are probably referring to the Mindcraft study. There were problems with the credibility of study that have been documented elsewhere. Admittedly, the test did show some shortcomings with the old Linux kernel on high-middle PC hardware. However, on machines that I use (one to two processor, PII/400, 128-256M RAM average), Linux blasts NT away for file and web serving. The newest Linux kernel addresses the problems with the version in the study. 3) Availability of software -- This is usually opposite to what Windows folks might say. However, I use mostly development, graphics and mathematical software. The cost of these packages would be prohibitive on other platforms. The shortcoming is that there are relatively few production applications (like Office, contact and project managers, etc). 4) Price -- Buy one copy of any Linux distro and I can install it on as many machines as I choose. When someone purchases a machine, I burn a CD for them without paying another nickel (or $600 as the case may be) for the OS license. -- From: Wayne Veilleux [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: dhcpd server with a dhcpc interface ?

Under Linux, run the setup program (setup, linuxconf, etc.) and find your NIC (eth0). It should have a few options about assigning an IP address: DHCP, BOOTP, or Static IP. Make sure "Static IP Address" is selected, checked, etc. It should give you a place to type your IP address. You should use the following format: 192.168.x.x (where x.x is your last two #'s). 192.168.x.x are IPs for private machines and networks. Once you have chosen this, it will probably try to guess your netmask, gateway, nameserver, etc. Make sure your netmask is set to 255.255.255.0 and the rest should be null.

([EMAIL PROTECTED]) From: "Stephan Beal" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Playing Audio CDs Over a LAN Date: Tue, 8 Jun 1999 12:46:42 +0200 No chance on the remote audio. The CD audio is not piped through your CPU, but it sent directly to the sound hardware on the source machine, meaning that it can't be redirected. Look for a (normally) grey wire connecting your CDROM to the sound card or main board (depends on the system). Now you CAN play sound files from one system when the sound files reside on another machine. But you can't be on machine A and play a sound to have it be heard on machine B. Machine B has to pull the sound from machine A and run it, since machine A doesn't have access to B's hardware (in this case, the sound card). Yes, you can use cron to start a CD if you use a program (like workman... or is it workbone?) that can run CDs from the command line. Desmond Coughlan wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]... Ok, my question is (I suspect) quite simple. I have a 3-node LAN, but the server is buried away in a corner. How can I put an audio CD into the server, and play it (i.e., have the music heard) in another room ? If I try to export the CD, it needs to be mounted. If I don't mount it, then my host can't see it. Another question: I plan to put four speakers onto my sound card. How can I set cron to play a CD at a particular time?

I am connected via @home cable service. The NT box is a dual boot that also has Linux on it, and from there everything works fine. However when I am logged into Linux on the box downstairs and it goes through the NAT software it can not find the @home mail server. I solved the problem by pinging the mail server to get it's IP address and entering that in the Netscape dialog box for mail server name. When I ping I see that the mail server name is not just "mail" (which works when connected directly to the internet via any OS) but actually "mail.sttln1.wa.home.com" I assume that there is no difference if I enter this or enter the IP of the server, correct? No advantage to either method? Also, I have to enter the @home DNS numbers on the box behind the Sygate NAT software. The Sygate doc's say to enter the the IP of the Sygate server for the DNS, however this does not work. In order to go anywhere I have to enter @home's DNS numbers. Now, the idea of the Sygate NAT software is to allow more than one box to connect to the network yet appear to the network as only one box. Does my having to enter the DNS numbers on the second box (behind the Sygate server) change this? I am also rather perplexed by the whole NAT idea. I understand that it changes the headers of the packets to reflect the MAC of the NAT server (at least I think I understand that is the case) but how in the world does the NAT server know when it gets a packet that it is intended not ofr it, but for a different box? I assume that it it adds information to the header, but then why is that information not seen elsewhere? At what level is the info added? The network level? The data link level?

I've got an NT network, to which I've just added a SAMBA server. It's a CD-ROM tower with 28 CD's, that I've asked a couple of other questions about. That shouldn't really make any difference for this question, though. The version of the samba RPM on this server is samba-2.0.3-8. I've noticed that when I go to the Server Manager and bring up the properties for this server, it gives me some statistics, but they seem a little bogus. I've always got 1 session open, with no files open or locked, and zero named pipes. This is always the case, even when I go and open a file on one of those shares for editing, server manager still only reports the one dummy_user session. Should this work at all, and if it should, then can anybody help me fix it? I'll upgrade to 2.04b if that will help as soon as I find some RPMS for it.

Paul Raymonds Doetjes wrote: Well there is a simple but not really a load balancing idea that is to add several A records to differnt ip address to de DNS. f.i: wwwA192.168.0.1 wwwA192.168.0.2 wwwA 192.168.0.3 etc etc etc Now every time a call comes to www the next ip address will be given to the quering host. This way you will have a spread load. It does'nt do failover though if one host is down, then the ip address wont be updated (at least in the BIND 4 I don't know if that has been changed in BIND 8 I can't imagine why). In our example you will lift the load 33.33% of each server. But you can build a so called dispatch agent your self using C or Perl with the socket libs. You read a config file with hosts/port number that acompany the "cluster" Now the deamon will check the load on all these servers say every 30 seconds (also works as a watchdog timer). If a call comes on a certain port you will redirect this call to the leased loaded server at that point. The most tricky part is getting the ip data and sending it to the right server over and over again. So you need to trace certain calls. For HTTP servers that is'nt that important since http is a non connective protocoll. Raymond Chris Goebel wrote: I have a linux firewall and an NT web server.

I have win98 on the same machine and according to it and the diags that came with the modem it is working fine, however I cannot dial out using "Dial up Networking". I got the irq and the io ranges for the modem and booted into linux, which is RedHat 6.0. I tried to use setserial to set the irq and i/o ranges for /dev/ttyS1 that win98 had given me. The irq was fine, but how do I set a pair of i/o ranges ? Win98 gave me two ranges for the modem, but it seems that setserial will only allow me to set one value for the ioport. I set the ioport to be the low values of the first range win98 specified, but when I then ran setserial it did not identify the UART correctly, it just said it was "unknown". When I ran it on /dev/ttyS0 it was fine. Unsurprisingly when I ran minicom and just typed "at" I got no reponse from the modem. Chat just said that it couldn't get the terminal i/o.

In case I posted in the wrong news groups, any pointers would be apprecited. Also, I am new to Linux. After a while I have figured out that Linux v2.2 has support for SMP and that the Linux v2.2.10 kernel uses a giant lock with a global run queue for thread scheduling. Am I right or am I mistaken? Secondly, is Linux TCP/IP (more generally the networking code) multithreaded/parallelised? I downloaded the Linux v2.2.10 source and am trying to figure out whether the TCP code is multithreaded/parallelised or not, but it would be easier if someone could give me some pointers on it. Does the SMP version distribute interrupts (specifically LAN) across all processors or do the interrupts fire only one processor? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Scalability concerns stem from the fear of not being able to give your applications enough horsepower. If you develop open Linux solutions, you can always scale on up to any "big iron" UNIX you wish to. Actually, I would think that Scalability stems from having the data available available to your customers, when they need it. Big Iron's days are numbered. I worked for an HMO that even clustered their IBM 390's to ensure availability. If you doubt the value of redundancy, check out a VAX cluster sometime, two to four machines acting as a single entity, you could run over one with a truck and the customers wouldn't notice. That there is the key, the pieces can die, but the system must be available, it's a notion called fault tolerance. Sun, IBM and HP all understand this (and that is why they support Linux). Can't speak for Sun, they've always been the Apple of the UNIX world to me. IBM also sells, and supports NT, The Domino Server will run on Solaris, HP, NT, OS/2 but Not Linux. (Lotus is an IBM subsidiary) HP and MS have a fairly close relationship as well. HP PC's and servers come with NT preloaded as well, and some friends who work at the nearby HP campus speak fairly openly of an NT port to their systems in the works. Compaq supports Linux too, but MS's website is almost completely Compaq machines. You left out SGI, they used to be called MIPS if you recall, an early NT supporter, and current one. Then there's Intel, remember them, they're part of the glue that keeps this mess functioning they've got relationships with all these companies, and more. One must remember that Intel makes more than just processors. If you develop NT applications, your scalability lies in how many machines you can cluster. (How many IIS servers does microsoft.com have again?) 26 as I recall, in eight redundant clusters, supported by redundant fast ethernet, supplied data by redundant SQL servers (something eBay should consider) serving millions, yes millions of customers over redundant OC3 circuits, further backed up by multiple DS3's all from different vendors.

I've also searched the WEB for instructions and not had much (any) luck. There was a short article in the latest Linux Gazette (No. 40 or 41 I believe) on setting up diald. The URL is http://www.linuxgazette.com. My setup: I'm using slakware 3.5, kernel 2.0.34. IP masq - Diald on a home network, all work great, except it dials at the slightest action. So here's my questions: I'm using the example diald.conf from the mini-howto and I put it in /etc/ but is that the right place? Because it's not ignoring things that the script says to ignore. Where/what do I do with the diald.defs? They appear to define things in the diald.conf, but the howto didn't say anything about them, just shows them. Do they need to be somewhere when you build diald? or are they interpreted during load and execution? Finally, I also have samba installed, and it works great, with one minor complaint. When I try to browse the linux box from WIN (Nt and 95 network neighborhood), it causes diald to dial as well, and the linux box won't answer the Win box until the dialin is complete. All I want is to browse the directories in the linux box, I don't want it to dial into just to do that. [Snipped] As far as the accessing samba causes link to go up problem, I'm not sure. There is an option in smb.conf about resolving netbios lookups using DNS. Do you have it turned off? maybe that would help. Also, if you configured your linux machine to be a caching name server for your windows machines, I imagine you could squelch the external packets. If you find a solution please post it! This is clearly, as you have perceived, a common problem. I know people have posted rules that can be used with diald to keep the above from happening. I did not have the time to search to find them. One suggestion I have is did you set up a hosts file on the Windows machine? It has the same format as the hosts file on the Linux machine. It goes in the c:/windows directory. Something else to look at is what networking protocols are being used on the Windows machine. The only one I am using is TCP/IP, not NetBui or whatever MS Windows uses. While at the Linux Gazette web site, look for the No. 20 issue I believe. It was from August 1997. Look for the Weekend Mechanic article. It covers some of this. A problem I had at one time was that Netscape was set to check email at my ISP every 10 minutes. I did not realize it. I spent 2-3 weeks trying to figure that one out until I realized what was happening. I have the diald.conf file in the /etc directory. The other files of mine are in /usr/lib/diald. The diald.defs file has not been changed. I only changed the standard.filter file to lengthen the time diald stayed up. -- Frank Hahn Sweater, n.: A garment worn by a child when its mother feels chilly. -- From: Rage-DCA [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: printing from windows to a linux print spool Date: Thu, 17 Jun 1999 06:35:05 GMT Frank Hahn wrote: On Tue,

Currently, there are a number of terminals (IBM 3151) but they are getting quite expensive. I'm thinking that a low-end PC with terminal emulation software on it will do the trick better and that would also give me the ability to put spooled printers anywhere there is a terminal and it eliminates the need for a terminal server at remote sites.

AFAIK the demand dialing in 2.[012].x is all the same from the user file standpoint. See 'man pppd' for the options.

From: "Tony C" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Need some help with RH5.2 Networking Date: Fri, 18 Jun 1999 18:17:07 -0700 Greetings, I apologize if this post is redundant, but my previous post doesn't seem to have made it. Anyway, I have constructed a home network that includes a Linux host that serves as a front end to a DSL internet connection. There are 2 Win98 machines on a private net (192.168.1.xxx) that share the internet connection. I am also using IP_Masquerading. Everything works great, when it works. The problem I am having is this. After a period of time the Linux box will quit forwarding any requests to the Internet and for all intents and purposes 'hangs'. Usually a reboot of the Linux box will re-initialize everything and I am back in business. Sometimes I need to reboot one or both of the Win98 machines too. I can see from the messages log in /usr/var that I am getting a flood of UDP packets from an address within the ISPs network. Ipfwadm is dutifully denying the request but it would appear that this UDP flood is a possible cause of the hangs. I am wondering if this is a hacker attack or just some wayward machine 'spamming' the network with junk UDP packets. What I am wondering is: 1. What patches do I need to load to RH5.2? I checked the Errata site at Red Hat and there are a number of updates to 5.2, some effect networking and some do not. 2. What log files can I look at that will help me determine if there is a security breach? Is there anything beyond what is found in /var/log? 3. Do these Masquerading rules look correct? For input rules: Default Policy: Deny typeprot source destination ports acc all home.net/24 anywhere n/a home.net is my private network (192.168.1.0) deny all home.net/24 anywhere n/a acc all anywhere 207.xxx.xxx.xxx/24n/a 207.xxx.xxx.xxx is my ISP network, I edited out the specific numbers for security acc all anywhere anywhere n/a deny all anywhere anywhere n/a For output rules: Default Policy: Deny typeprot source destination ports acc all anywherehome.net/2 n/a home.net is my private network (192.168.1.0) deny all anywherehome.net/24 n/a deny all home.net/24anywhere n/a deny all anywhere home.net/24n/a acc all 207.xxx.xxx.xxx/24 anywhere n/a 207.xxx.xxx.xxx is my ISP network, I edited out the specific numbers for security acc all anywhere anywhere n/a deny all anywhere anywhere n/a For forwarding rules: Default Policy: Deny type prot source destination ports acc/mall home.net/24anywhere n/a accall anywhere anywhere n/a I am confused by lines like: acc all anywherehome.net/24 n/a followed by deny all anywherehome.net/24 n/a First I accept then I deny everything.

I think I have two problems: : 1) Since my ISP (erols.com) uses dynamic IP addresses, I have set the : noipaddress arguement to PPP. After all the pppd negotiation, I get : messages that state that ppp has determined the remote and the local : IP addresses. Two lines later, it says it cannot determine the local : address! There's no "noipaddress" option, there's noip and noipdefault. With the noip option you deny pppd IPCP negotiation and IP communication. The noipdefault means that pppd is not to get an IP address from the local hostname, which is often appropriate. : 2) Since my ISP uses dynamic DNS assignemnts, I use the usedpeerdns : argument. I guess that pppd is reading them correctly since : a new resolv.conf is created every time I connect. But it's not : in /etc, it's in /etc/ppp. Is this a going to be a problem once : I get problem #1 fixed. Very likely. What you mean is that the peer supplies DNS addresses with the Microsoft hack of IPCP to do this. That hack is not a part of the standard PPP protocol and very unlikely to become a part of it. It's doubtful that the DNS addresses will change very often if at all. Once you know the DNS addresses you probably don't need the peer to supply them time-after-time, dropping the usepeerdns option and putting the addresses in /etc/resolv.conf should work. Otherwise you'll have to do something to get it linked to the actual file that has the DNS addresses along the lines suggested in the README. It's surely significant that this option isn't in the man pages, the pppd maintainer certainly knows it's a hack. : So, in order you you to help me solve this, what information should : I post?

A grossly misconfigured ppp-on-dialer script could also cause the "looped back."

I cannot afford to use repeaters or expensive hardware and so can i use a BNC cable to induct this computer into the peer to peer thingy? I use the LAN in a cyber cafe setup to surf the net through a 56 kbps dial up line You can have up to 30 attachments and a total of 185 meters on thinnet coax. Note that a 10BaseT hub is actually a repeater. They are not all that expensive and some include coax connectors if you want to keep your existing segments. Coax should handle your situation but 10Bt tends to isolate problems and it is easy to add and disconnect stations without disturbing the others. Secondly : what is the maximum distance that a Hub-NIC-BNC cable peer to peer network can sustain at 10base 100 Ethernet LAN ? Hubs are typically simple repeaters. An all-10Meg hub allows the full 185 meters on the coax, 100 meters on each 10BaseT. If it also allows 100Meg, it is acting as a switch although it may combine all of each speed and only act as a switch between the two. There are differences between brands in respect to the way the different speed connections are handled. The 100Bt length is also 100 meters (each) but the cable must be rated at cat 5. Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] I thought that the total length of thinnet (coax) was 500m (hence the reason it is used for longer runs) A twisted pair can only be 100m between hub and computer (90m cat 5 + 10m patch) With Thicknet (AUI) having a total length of 1500m and fibers are something like 20km without a repeater Tim Tim, The IEEE 802.3 ethernet specs are very clear on maximum cable length. Thinnet (10Base2 is the official term) is 185 meters total bus length over RG-58U coax. Back when Thinnet was the dominant media, a number of ethernet manufacturers (including 3Com) made all their Thinnet hardware to run overspec to 1000 feet. It worked well as long as you made sure everything on an overspec cable run was overspec hardware and only used top quality connectors. I built an emergency campus network after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake by running overspec thinnet through trees between buildings and putting 3Com repeaters in each building. Don't try it at home or anywhere else for that matter. I'm still trying to figure out what kind of drugs they gave me to get me to agree to it... The squirrels absolutely loved it, it was a new highway system for them. Yes, squirrels can run on cable that small. Thicknet (10Base5 is the official term) is 500 meters total bus length over RG-8U coax. I may have that coax type wrong, it's been a long time since I have worked with Thicknet. 10BaseF is 2000 meters point to point over 62.5/125 multimode fiber. 10BaseT is 100 meters point to point over Cat 3 twisted pair. 100BaseT is 100 meters point to point over Cat 5 twisted pair. 100BaseF is 500 meters point to point between repeaters (half-duplex) using 62.5/125 multimode fiber and 2000 meters between switches (full-duplex) using the same media. There was a broadband coax spec (10Broad20?), but I forget the details on it. It's obsolete anyway. There is nothing in the specs about patch cable length. The specs only care about total cable length. Thicknet and AUI are not the same. AUI refers to the cable (using a 15 pin D type connector) between a transceiver and the rest of the ethernet interface. I think the maximum length for AUI cables was 75 meters. There are implementations of fiber ethernet that run over singlemode fiber that run

Under Samba that works fine with the "smbclient -M" command if you know the computer's name. But: Windows NT also allows to use the "net send" command with a USER's name, i.e. "net send charly" where charly is the login name of a user. Then the popup message will be delivered directly to the computer where the user is logged in at this moment. If the person is not logged in, you get an error message. This is a great function because you don't need to know the name of the NT Workstation to send a message to a certain person: "net send USER" is able to locate the user (if he is logged in under NT).

Your dhcp server will look at the MAC address of your nic card every so often and update the ip and hopefuly assign you the same one everytime (no promises).

I'm not that familiar with 98 so I'm not totally sure. The problem lies in the fact that win9x wasn't really designed to be server OS, and is peer-to-peer, or a client. There might be some software out there (ie WinGate) that might help, though. Good luck in your efforts. Ryan Another option to investigate (if you care to spend the money) is the new Windows 98 "Second Edition", that was just released on June 10th. Kind of like OSR2 was to Windows 95, the "Second Edition" version of 98 is supposed to add some new features to 98. One of them is peer-to-peer modem-sharing like WinGate, I would think, but I dont know all of the particulars since I havent played with "Second Edition" yet. I would ask around first, to see if anyone could give you more specific info about its abilities and limitations. I saw it retailing for $79 U.S. for the upgrade version, and $179 U.S. for the "no previous version of Windows required" version.

You need not comment "Just plug it in." :-) I have one of these parallel version drives and I use it for back-ups and downloading to. I don't know if this will work in any other version than RH 5.2. First you must re-compile your kernel (read the KERNEL HOW-TO if you're not sure how to) with parallel support and Iomega Zip Drive as modules. Then you type this command: "mkdir /mnt/zip" (omitting quotes). When you want to use the ZIP drive you type this command: "insmod ppa" (omitting quotes) To mount this drive, the command is: "mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip" - provided the zip disk is MS-DOS formatted.

Date: Mon, 21 Jun 1999 22:31:11 -0700 Why mess with winsock if there is ip_masquerading? Ken Cormack wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]... Hello, all. I'm seeing related postings about this, and since I am in a similar boat myself, I was wondering if anyone has given any thought to creating an "MS Proxy-fied" version of the Linux IP stack? I'm not talking about the "Socks" functionality, or even the "Reverse Proxy" stuff... Specifically, I refer you to the "Winsock Proxy" client functionality of MS-Proxy 2.0. If I understand MS Proxy's "Winsock Proxy" functionality, a Win9x or other MS Proxy-supported client's WINSOCK.DLL gets re-named, the Proxy's own Winsock version gets put into place, and calls the renamed original file's services when needed. The advantage to this is that you dont need to putz with each individual client app's own proxy settings (when they are available and/or supported), or try recompiling every client app to "socksify" it, etc. If it calls the services of WINSOCK.DLL, it just normally works (for outbound stuff, anyway. For inbound UDP's etc, well, thems is the breaks.) It's far more elegant (and much less a hassle for the end-user) to attack the problem at the point of commonality on the client, and you gain the advantage of making many otherwise proxy-ignorant apps available to the user through the proxy. It strikes me as practical to impliment something similar in Linux, "intercepting" calls to the IP stack, and in a fashion similar to the MS client, tweak the packets on-the-fly, steering them to the MS Proxy server. Adding the needed functionality and configuration parameters as configurable options to the kernel "make config" or "make menuconfig" would be terrific. If it could be implimented as a module, it might be even better. A few of you will suggest using a Linux server with IP Masq'ing instead of MS-Proxy, but in situations where that is just not an option, wouldn't it be better in the long run to consider such a cross-platform coexistance? (Especially if you want to make Linux a more attractive option for corporate desktops?) Just a thought. Any comments?

When I receive a file over about 100K (I guess it is possible that all messages are being corrupted and I can't notice it on smaller messages) it seems to get corrupted. Some characters get translated or if there is an attachment, then I cannot open it. The problem is only for incoming eMail ie. eMail that I receive, I can send files as large as I like and there is no problem. Web surfing seems to be OK, but again it may be that I dont notice the corruptions on smaller transfers. I have a socks firewall, and if I try to access my mail without the firewall I dont seem to have the same problem. This would seem to indicate a problem with the firewall, but then shouldn't the problem be for traffic going both ways.

After a fairly painful upgrade (you name it, fun with bios, disks, etc.), I was up an running with Mandrake 6.0 Previously I had my DSL modem connected to eth0, a 10Mb onboard ethernet card using dhcp[client]. The second NIC, 100Mb was connected to my internal network with a static ip, and was running fine with IP masquerading, etc. So even though I managed to lose all my config files, I didn't expect too much trouble recreating the previous setup. No such luck! Everything works fine when I havethe 100Mb card connected to the DSL, using dhcp and the 10Mb card using a static ip. But clearly this is not ideal and it makes much more sense to have the 100Mb card connected to the LAN. The primary symptoms (other than it not working!) are: -I cannot reliably get the 10Mb card up using dhcp. -Even when I do, I get logs of "kernel: eth0: transmit timed out, status 0073, resetting." I have mucked around with it for quite a few hours, and am not happy. -How is the kernel discovery order

It's just the serial port speed (from the pppd global variable "baud_rate"). You can catch the modem's initial handshake speed via chat and then pick it up in the ip-up script, though. This is done using the "-r" option on chat to set up a "report" file, and then using the "REPORT CONNECT" keywords in the chat script to tell chat that any string beginning with the word "CONNECT" should be copied to the file. This is just the raw connect string. You'll have to configure the modem properly to report DCE rather than DTE rate, and do some light parsing on the contents of the file. You should probably also note that initial connect rate probably isn't as interesting as it might seem. Modems are able to renegotiate rates up and down during the life of the call, and many popular brands will always report the highest possible speed and then immediately negotiate downward to more usable speeds. If you're using this connect speed to estimate transfer time and so forth, it's probably not useful.
