Pregunta!!
Hola.. Donde trabajo hay una LAN de 4 computadores los cuales son utilizados para navegar en Internet con windows. Quiero hacer practicas de IP Masquerade, pero pues no tengo acceso al servidor... podría utilizar uno de los puntos de la red para hacer IP Masquerade y conectarme con otro compu de la misma red con windows pero utilizando como pasarela el punto de la red con IP Masquerade??? Ya lo intente pero no me da ping por ninguno de los dos... Y claro esta antes carge los siguientes modulos manualmente. /sbin/depmod -a /sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp /sbin/modprobe ip_masq_raudio /sbin/modprobe ip_masq_irc y luego configure en el cliente windows con la direccion del equipo linux con IP Masquerade= 198.77.242.20 como pasarela y le asigne una direccion IP=192.168.0.1... la submascara de red es: 255.255.255.248 los demas datos en ambos equipos estan igual, DNS, etc... En espera de una respuesta y dando muchas gracias :) _ Ricardo R.
Conectar a Internet : problemas con el módem.
Hola a todos y, antes de nada, quiero daros las gracias a todos por vuestra ayuda. Sigo sin poder conectarme desde Linux y creo que todo es debido a problemas al detectar/configurar/inicializar... el módem. Vamos por partes. Bueno, primero decir que mi módem es interno aunque no tengo claro si es un Winmodem o no. Se trata de un Rockwell SoftK56 Data,Fax PCI Modem. ¿Alguien sabe si es un módem sólo para windows? Ya en lo referente a la conexión, Romón Sánchez, Enver me dijo que probase con el programa 'wvdial'. Probé ejecutando wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf y obtuve la siguiente salida: Scanning your serial ports for a modem. ttyS0*1: AT -- AT -- AT -- nothing. ttyS1*1: AT -- AT -- AT -- nothing. Port Scan*1: S2 S3 Sorry, no modem was detected! etc, etc. He mirado en la configuración de windows y sobre el módem pone que está instalado en el COM3 de DOS, que creo que corresponde a ttyS2, ¿no? Además he visto que la dirección es 3E8, el UART (que no sé lo que es) NS 16550AN y la velocidad máxima 115 Kbaudios (115200 en realidad, creo), además de otras cosas. Pero en Linux inspeccioné cada ttySx con 'setserial' y obtuve: setserial /dev/ttyS0 - /dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4 setserial /dev/ttyS1 - /dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3 setserial /dev/ttyS2 - /dev/ttyS2, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 4 setserial /dev/ttyS3 - /dev/ttyS3, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02e8, IRQ: 3 donde parece decir que en los dos puertos en los que hay algún dispositivo son el ttyS0 y el ttyS1, porque en ttyS2 que es donde se supone que debería estar el módem (coincide además la dirección), no aparece nada conocido. Por otra parte, David Charro Ripa, me dijo que probase a conectarme con mi módem con el programa 'minicom'. Lo ejecuté y nada más lanzarse apareció un mensaje que decía Initializating Modem y después, en la parte de abajo de la ventana de la aplicación, junto con otras características técnicas de la supuesta conexión, aparecía tb un mensaje de Online junto con una especie de contador o reloj que supongo que contabilizará el tiempo de conexión. Pero, a pesar de este mensaje, sigo sin estar conectado. A continuación, con CTRL-A Z voy al menú de comandos y desde allí al menú de configuración de minicom, al apartado de Serial port setup donde dice que el device que emplea es /dev/ttyS3 (?), aunque se puede cambiar, al igual que la velocidad de conexión, etc., pero lo cambio al resto de /dev/ttySx y nada. Por último está el tema de la cadena de inicialización del módem. Me han dicho que mire en el manual a ver cual es, pero el problema es que yo no tengo ningún manual. Como ya he dicho antes se trata de un Rockwell SoftK56 Data,Fax PCI Modem pero lo único que tengo es un directorio con drivers y tal. De todas formas he buscado entre esos ficheros y en la parte de configuración de windows, además de por Internet, y he encontrado algo, aunque son cadenas muy raras del estilo de: ATFE0V1S0=0C1D2+MR=2;+DR=1;+ER=1;W0cr Lo que me pasa es que no sé qué hacer con esas cadenas (¿sólo vale una o pueden valer más?). No sé en qué parte o en qué archivo especificarlas (y si hay que escribirlas tal cual aparece la de arriba). En la ayuda que traen los CDs de accesos gratuitos a Internet que circulan por ahí, en la parte de Linux, dicen que crees un fichero que debes hacer ejecutable y que es del estilo de: #!/bin/sh chat -v atdtwX CONNECT con un número de teléfono en lugar de las X's, y no sé si habrá que poner la cadena de inicialización allí en lugar del atdtwX pq si fuese así, ¿cómo indicas luego el número de teléfono? En fin, que ando un poco perdido. ¿Alguien tiene un módem parecido al mío y puede decirme dónde especificar las cadenas de inicialización para Linux, o dónde encontrar información? Muchísimas gracias... otra vez. Emilio.

ADSL funcionando en el curro (con Linux ;-)
Hola a todos, Ya tengo ADSL funcionando en el curro y con Linux (estoy desde el dia 1 de este mes intensivamente en ello... ) - He contratado el servicio con www.mundivia.es - El modem interno de Teleline no vale pa Linux (al menos cuando lo miré yo...) Todavia no me he quitado el babero desde que el primer dia me bajé 13612 KB en 8:38 minutos (unos drivers de HP) esto son: 1576 KB/min - 26277 Bytes/seg - 210223 kbps ¡¡¡ De promedio !!! (esta proeza la hice con un Win-95) Hasta el viernes (al menos) no me han cambiado la IP, pero como te la da el router por DHCP cada media hora podrian hacerlo en cualquier momento... No todo es bueno, hay dias que ni funciona, otros se arrastra, como he tenido problemas con resolv.conf y bind hasta hace poco no puedo dar muchos datos mas... Espero que telefónica mejore el servicio... Cuando llamé para quejarme me dijeron que tengo que esperar a que vengan los de Telefonica Data a acabar de configurar el invento, cosa que ya me dijeron los que vinieron a instalar el splitter el dia 1, pero como que funciona no me he podido resistir a usarla. En principio eran dos semanas ¿ya tocaria no? La impresión es que es en general algo más rápido que el modem, y no hay que conectar (ni sufrir por la factura del telefono) Supongo que ahora el cuello de botella no es la conexión telefónica sino el site que visitas :-( Saludos, -- - Manel Marin e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux Powered (Debian 2.1 slink) kernel 2.2.14 - Mi petición de drivers para Linux es la nº 33126 (Pasate por http://www.libranet.com/petition.html ;-)

It is recommended that you make use of the MOZILLA_HOME environment variable in your .cshrc, .profile, or equivalent. MOZILLA_HOME should be set to the directory in which you installed Communicator. For example, 'setenv MOZILLA_HOME /usr/local/netscape'. If you intend to move the 'netscape' binary into another directory (like /usr/local/bin), then you must set MOZILLA_HOME in order for Communicator to find all of its components. (MOZILLA_HOME would be set to the installation directory in this case, NOT the directory in which the binary resides.)
Re: XEmacs use 'Alt' as 'Meta'
I've been rather fighting the inconsistancies myself. I might get to fixing up console someday. Oh yeah, there's something called ICCCM which xemacs follows under X which among other things describes a method (IMO the Right Way) to consistantly read and interpret keypresses. Basically (going from memory) Apps like Enlightenment and gnome seem to assume that any key that generates mod1 modifier is ALT ICCCM apps like xemacs assume that the shift keys that generate ALT_L and ALT_R with the same modifier bit, said bit not shared with any other shift keys, is ALT. Also assumes that the shift keys that generate META_L and META_R with a dictinct modifier bit (doesn't matter exactly WHICH modifier bit) is META. I mean, you can map SHIFT_L and SHIFT_R to use mod1 and Eterm will suddenly decide that pressing SHIFT+R will be ALT-R. People in general don't seem to care, at least not the last time I brought up the subject. See the list archives and the bug system. Heh, maybe I'll make a proposal in my spare time, if I could get at least one official developer to back me. This is on my list of peeves. -- Beiad Ian Q.

Networking
I have a question about networking.. here's the situation: I have 2 Debian boxes with Ethernet cards, respective cabling. I have an on-campus Ethernet connection, with 1 static IP 1 etherjack allocated to me. Currently, I have the two PC's both online and configured to use the static IP, 160.94.138.145. I read the Net-3 IP-Masq Howtos, and I am pretty sure I can configure one of the boxes as a firewall if I must. Currently, I have only one box connected to the internet at a time, and I have to ifconfig eth0 down on one box, plug the RJ-45 into the other box, and ifconfig up on the other one. I'd like to be able to have both online at once, though. (Especially since the main thing I want to do with one of them is play around with remote X apps.) The question I have, which I don't think I could glean form the Howtos, is, what other hardware do I need? If I get an Ethernet hub with, say, 8 ports, can I connect one port to the jack on the wall, and two more of the ports to the NIC's on my boxes? Or do I need a third NIC on one of the computers that will be connected directly to the hub? I guess my real question is, can I do a connect like this: inet hub --- box1 | +- box2 or do i need to do this: inet --- box1 --- hub --- box2 And, if I do that second setup, won't I need two NIC's on box1, one ingoing one outgoing?

Re: Unresolved symbols potato and kernel 2.0.36
Don't upgrade unless you have to. I always have to remind myself of that - if my machine is working and I can do the tasks I need to do, even though there is a new fangled a super-cool version of my software, I don't have to install it. I still need to remind myself. That said, I just installed Potato as well, and killed my sound support. I don't know if I can offer you much help, as my sound is also still dead, but I can make some comments. First, is sounds to me like you are using stock debian kernels. I don't know if it is true, but it would not surprise me if the Potato kernel is not set to deal with sound modules. I always think compiling your own kernel is a good idea (you learn a lot about your computer and about linux), but others have differing opinions. Oh, and yes, shared IRQs are impossible. At least, I don't think Linux can deal with that setup. But, any linux kernel can deal with any number of serial ports if properly configured. Again, this gets back to building your own kernel. The 'unresolved symbols' warnings have to do with module dependencies. Did you run 'depmod' after compiling and installing your sound modules? You can try to insert the modules by hand using 'insmod', and when you run into troubles, you will at least know where you are in the process - which modules is not configured correctly or missing. I wish I could help more. There should be a modules howto Maybe I should write one. As soon as I figure them out. -Percival On Sat, Mar 18, 2000 at 10:44:49PM -0500, Jonathan Markevich wrote: depressed_tired_of_pointless_hacking_mode I suppose it's the height of naivite to expect an answer about Debian around here, but here goes... /depressed_tired_of_pointless_hacking_mode Once again...

RealPlayer, frozen and frustration
A day or two ago I took the plunge and upgraded to frozen. A few small glitches, but they were easily dealt with and mostly I was very pleased by how smooth and how straightforward the upgrade process was. Thanks and praise to the developers. I have one problem however. I had three versions of RealPlayer on my slink system---RealPlayer 7, RealPlayer G2 and RealPlayer 5.0. I had the three versions because there are certain sites that I visit regularly whose archived files always produce an error when I atttempt to listen to them with more recent versions of Real Player than 5.0 (the error-message is `Invalid Metafile'; the real.com site contains the helpful information that this is not a common error-message). So for those files. I would use version 5. (All of these versions were installed by hand in /usr/local.) Now that I've upgraded to frozen, though, rvplayer5.0 always produces a segmentation fault; G2 has expired; and the performance I get with RealPlayer 7 (on the files that it will accept) is not great (it doesn't seem to handle buffering very well). This doesn't feel like progress. What I would like most is to be able to run the old version (5.0) in frozen. Does anyone know of a way to solve the seg-fault problem? Or any insight into the `Invalid Metafile' problem? Thanks very much, Jim
Desktop
First, I want to thank all who helped me install my printer. Running magicfilterconfig was the anwser. Now I would like to know how to enable the GNOME desktop. It came with my Debian/GNU Linux package, and I tried using dselect. So far I have several window managers available: fvwm95, olwm, icewm, wmaker, and scwm. One of them automatically loads at boot up. I have searched through the various applications in the window manager, but I see no desktop. Do I have to edit a configuration file somewhere? Or do I need to go through the dselect process again? Thanks, Sandy Shapiro
Re: Desktop

Also assumes that the shift keys that generate META_L and META_R with a dictinct modifier bit (doesn't matter exactly WHICH modifier bit) is META.

And, if I do that second setup, won't I need two NIC's on box1, one ingoing one outgoing? you need two nics. the inner net is configured with local IPs, like 172.16.96.x or 192.168.1.x (which are reserved for this purpose). read the IP-Masquerade mini-howto! -- Hi!

I can, however, use ICQ and ssh with no problems at all. The problems don't go away if I stop the masquerading for those ports - and even if I unload the kernel module!

potato: mgetty and strange new behavior at startup
I'm using mgetty on a modem so I can call in from elsewhere. I also have pppd set up to use the same modem to dial out. This arrangement was working quite well for a long time. Now at startup, mgetty is not releasing the modem, and if I kill it, init restarts it with the same behavior. The problem seems to be that exactly described in the mgetty info page for BSD systems. Quoting: I think it works quite well, except that the `VTIME' mechanism to timeout `read()' calls doesn't work in older *BSD versions. If `mgetty' hangs, with the last line in the log file being something like waiting for line to clear, upgrade your kernel, or, if you can't do that, compile `mgetty' with `-DBROKEN_VTIME' (in that case, select() will be used).

No good, but... when switching off gpm (/etc/init.d/gpm stop) with that config, and relaunching it with type=ps2 in the config file (as I had it before trying to use the wheel), it works. hehe - i had the reverse effect: when x is configured for imps/2, then i HAVE TO run gpm with imps2 - in the other case i get only protocoll errors. as somebody already mentioned before me, only one type of logitech-mice works well for sure: the boxed version. the oem version has a zilog-chip, which is (was(?)) not supported. the so-called bulk-version might work or not. newer versions seem not to work (they have the zilog-chip also). there is a reference to a nice page about wheel-mice in the 3-button-mouse mini-howto. the url is http://www.inria.fr/koala/colas/mouse-wheel-scroll/ however - X has (had(?)) the problem with the zilog chips, too. but possibly this has been fixed. -- Hi!

X stability issue
Hi I'm wondering how other debian potato-boxes behaves in X. I have a 2 month old potato system running on a dual-celeron, 256Mbyte ram and a Matrox G400. The kernel is a patched 2.2.14 (using the IDE-patch from hedrik). X freezes totally after a few days of use. Sometimes I'm able to go to a console and kill X as root other times it's necessary to log in from another workstation and kill X remotely - this is due to fact the my keyboard freezes too... Today it went really awfull. I wanted to try CivCTP on Linux to test the performance of my box. In the middle of the game everything freezes and I turn to another workstation to kill X remotely. This time it's not enough. I have to reboot the machine to get some new output on the monitor. Now my questions are: Has anyone else experienced the same kind of instability? Does anyone know if this could be due to... - kernel instability? - X instability? - my hardware? - potato instability? The fact is that I really hate to reboot my machine - it feels like I'm running Windows. X is XFree86 version 3.3.6-6 (svga). Mboard is Abit BP6 (not OC'ed). Regards Sven Esbjerg
I have a hardware question.
I am currently running Mandrake 7.0 Air and have become inspired by Debian. I want to run Debian. Currently , (Air) supports my Ultra 66 Hard drive and my Sound Blaster Live audio card. If I install Slink, do I get support for these two peices of hardware? Or do I have to wait for Potato to come out? I've spent 5-6 days attempting to find the answer to this question looking at other sources and I can't seem to answer my question alone. I know these two hardware items ARE supported in the LINUX of today but does the LINUX of today cover any of the 2.1 releases??? Thanks in advance Charlie

one machine, two IP addresses?
I usually dial-up to my ISP and get an assigned IP address for the session. I am thinking of connecting my ethernet card to a network, so I might have two connections at once.

Re: no merit from using DMA-66?
Hello! That has something to do with your hard disk cache. Because, when the data requested by the PC happens to be in the internal cache (typically 512k-2megs), it can be transferrred to the mainboard at full bus speed rate! That's an improvement of UDMA! And, the interfaces are always a little bit faster, then the disks are getting faster, and then they make a new interface standard again. That's how it always is, because, it is better to not to have problems with a slow interface. So, either your benchmark doesn't manage to switch off the cache for its measure or it only shows you the highest bus speed rate. But, 33MB/66MB is definitely not a data rate any recent IDE HDD can achieve.

Because the bus speed (UDMA33=33MB/sec; UDMA66=66MB/sec) is only the maximum data rate which can be transferred. However, the magnetic disk can never be that fast, so that data rates of 16MB/sec are quite normal and not bad. 25MB/sec must be a very good hard disk.

It really sucks, basically. I found out that I had to track down the manufacturer of my large hard drive, get the specs from them, and then pass them on to cfdisk/fdisk and ignore the warnings that those programs gave me.

How are you connecting the two machines? If you do not have a hub, you need to have a crossover cable to go direct from one ethernet card to the other (adduming you are using 10/100baseT, not coax). After figuring out that, you should be able to configure the rest. Use swat for the samba configuration (for both the printer and the share), and debian does a wonderful job of getting ip masquerading correctly the first shot out of the box (most of the time); you just need to install ipmasq package or ipchains, and compile the kernel for ip forwarding and all the options mentioned in ip masq. howto. -Percival On Sun, Mar 19, 2000 at 12:54:44PM -0800, esoR ocsirF wrote: Hello fellow Dusers, I am (and have been) trying to get my home machines running with the following configuration.

Re: one machine, two IP addresses?
You have understood my question, and thanks to you and Jean for your answers.
The key is the IP address is a property of the connection, not the
computer. Because of the way the initial system install works, I had
thought it was a property of the machine (where it asks for your ethernet
configuration).
I've taken the liberty of forwarding this useful information to the list.
At 12:02 PM 3/19/00, you wrote:
If I understand your problem (I don't post to the list because I'm not
sure of having understood).
IP addresses are 'linked' to each network device. So, if you have two
network devices (e.g. a modem and an ethernet card) they will have an IP
address each.
In a typical PPP configuration, if you only intend to give internet access
to the machine having the modem (well, maybe not so typical...), the IP
address of the modem is assigned by the ISP dynamically, and will last for
the time the interface (normally ppp0) is UP. As soon as the line is cut,
the interface goes DOWN, and that address is released by the ISP, who will
assign it to any subsequent caller.
For the ethernet card, you do not have to worry, as you will have a fixed
IP address assigned (by you on your machine, and by your network
administrator in the network, meaning that IP addresses should be unique
in your network).
So let's suppose you have:
ISP ---phone_line--- modem YOUR_PC ethernet ---cable--- ethernet OTH_PC
^ ^ ^ ^
1 2 3 4
You'll know of 4 IP addresses, one on each (^).
1 and 2 are ISP assigned, so no worry...
3 and 4 are locally assigned on each PC (or other computer). You have to
choose them and assign one to each ethernet card by configuring your
/etc/init.d/network to include the lines activating your ethernet:
ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST}
and enabling routing and so on. If you read some howtos you can find the
answer.
Well, that's all, and sorry if you already knew all this, and I have not
understood your question.

I usually dial-up to my ISP and get an assigned IP address for the session.

My understanding is that the IP address comes from the ethernet card

this is wrong..). At any rate, is there a problem with the machine doing
both networks at once?
