Convert MAC to IP
Are there any utilities to convert a MAC to an IP address. Is that even possible ?
Kernel Error in Syslog and X keeps crashing!
Every once in a while X just freezes up on me. I have to hard reboot.

Firwall Problems
I just put together a new firewall at the house. It is a fresh install of Potato with a 2.2.19pre17 re-rolled with IP Firewall support and the IP-Masq-ftp, and IP-masw-pptp modules installed. Then I installed IPCHAINS, IPMASQ, and IPMASQADM. The box makes a pppoe connection to my DSL provider at bootup and then it starts the masqrading. This generally works fine. But I must have some prt block, becasue I cannot get out from behind the firewall to certain ports (i.e. 1). With the ipmasq-modules I have no problems with pptp or ftp from behind the wall. And most traffic is fine (web, tribes2, etc.). I was going to modify some of the IPchains rules, but I noticed this. When I flushed the rules IPCHAINS -F. They dissapeared, but soon returned. How did they get back ? Also, I have not been able to get ipmasqadm working. I have used this befoire without problems, but for some reason my port forwards dont work. Any suggestions on determinig exactly what I have forgotten. Why wont impasqadm work ? How can I fully manage this firewall ? It seems krules are being applied from somewhere I have not checked. Thanks! Ben
Debian Firewall
I want to setup a firewall for my home LAN. I will have 5 - 10 PC's behind it. It will be running on a PPro 233 w/ 80mb RAM, and 2 Intel 100mb NIC's. I want a lot of features. I want a lot of features: Security, Security, Security SSH Daemon NAT (Masq) Port Forwarding Graphical (web based ?) Network Analysis PPPoE support VPN support Convenient Method of Configuration (Web based, GUI based ?) I would also like it to be fairly upgradable. I love APT-GET, and would love to have the core of this firewall be Debian so that I can do my updates with this method. I also would like to experiment with the CISH (Cisco simulated) shell provided by the Linux Router Project. What is the best apporach to creating this Firewall. Should I start with my own basic install of Debian and build from there ? Is there a floppy or CD based image worth trying that is based on Debian ? ben
Smaba problem
I just installed smbclient on my Laptop. I have another Win2k box on my LAN. I have shared a folder with Read access for Everyone. The Win2k pc is called BEN. The shared directory is called SHARE. I run: # smbclient BEN\\SHARE This returns a request for a password. Since I gave Everyone access, I just hit enter with no password. Then I get Anonymous Login Successful Domain=[MYDOMAIN] OS=[Windows 5.0] Server=[Windows 2000 Lan Manager] tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (access denied.) What am I doing wrong ??
PPPoE +Debian ?
Where can I find documentation that will explain the install and usage of PPPoE with Debian ?
Safe File Manager to run as root ?
Is there such thing as a GUI File Manager that any security and safety consious Debian users would use, as ROOT, to manage a file system (i.e. move, copy, change permissions) ?? Is it just a better practice to use CLI w/ suid to make those kind of changes.
PCMCIA Network driver.
I just got an ENCORE PCMCIA Netowrk Card. From their website I d/l the linux drivers. This consisted of these files: 8390.c, gen1, gen2, and PCNET_CS.c. as well as a readme with the following instructions: 16-bit 100/10M Fast Ethernet PCMCIA Adapter LINUX DRIVER INSTALL Note: this driver for linux 2.0.30 1. copy driver to /FASTPCM # mcopy a:/* /FASTPCM 2. download pcmcia-cs-3.0.x.tar.gz from hyper.stanford.edu in the /pub/pcmcia directory readme PCMCIA-HOWTO file install it 3. add the following lines into /etc/pcmcia/config card 16-bit 100/10M Fast Ethernet PCMCIA Adapter version PCMCIA, 100BASE bind pcnet_cs 4.# cd /FASTPCM # chmod +x gen1 gen2 5.# gen1 # gen2 6.# reboot None of this is working. I have PCMCIA services working fine with another 3com PCMCIA network card, so I think I have the SLOT configured properly. Is there anyway to simply compile that 8930.c file into 8930.o and 'insmod' it ? I have never used linux on a laptop, and I have never worked with PCMCIA before. I assume the list doesnt like attachments, so if anyone is intereseted in the files, I will be happy to provide them. As an alternative I will make this e-mail extrememly long and attach the text of the files below: -- -- (/* 8390.c: A general NS8390 ethernet driver core for linux. */ /* Written 1992-94 by Donald Becker.

Sound Support
I apt-got the kernel-source-2.4.6. I have compiled a kernel and it works great. I just d/l the source for pcmcia-cs and comiled that and I use that module now too. I just realized I forgot the modules for my Soundblaster. How can I add the necessary modules for this card without having to re-compile? ben
AX88190 Chipset Not Supported ?
I have found alot of postings , via a google search, that the AX88190 chipset for my PCMCIA network adapter is not supported in the 2.4.x kernels. I am unable to get the drivers provided by ASIX (the company that makes the chips). Has anyone had any experience getting this card to work ? This is the dmesg quote for the card: pcnet_cs: sorry, the AX88190 chipset is not supported. pcnet_cs: unable to read hardware net address for io base 0x300. thanks, ben
Kernel Compilation Error
I just apt-got the kernel-source-2.4.6. I make menuconfiged it and then I make-kpkg cleaned it, and ran make-kpkg --revision custom.1 kernel_image.

Newbie
Ok..I just moved into a new house and my DSL wont get hooked up for another week. I have a 28.8 dialup account, but that isnt much for getting most packages. I went ahead and burned the 3 ISO's for Debian 2.2r3 (Potato). I want to run UNSTABLE though. Where can I d/l all the UNSTABLE packages to a CD for use with APT-GET ? ben
SID out of Date ??
I am currently d/l all the SID Cd images from ftp://ftp.uni-bremen.de/pub/mirrors/debian_cdimages/debian-unofficial/sid/ . I noticed that they are all dated 3/10/2001. How far behind will these discs be ? ben
More SID CD Image questions.
OK.. I am d/l all of the SID CD's from ftp://ftp.uni-bremen.de/pub/mirrors/debian_cdimages/debian-unofficial/sid/ . Would it be possible to mount those images without burning them to CD. If so, how would I do that ? ben
RE: SID out of Date ??
That makes complete sence. Is 3/10 ancient times as far as SID is concerned ? I just want to work with the 2.4 kernel, some Xfree 4 stuff, and I know that there are SID level dependancies that I will need to meet for those. This is just temporary until my DSL comesso I am d/l all of SID to have for the next week or so. Does that sound like a good apporach, or am I goin overboard. I just dont want to find myself in search of Packages without any internet to get them with. ben -Original Message- From: D-Man [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 13, 2001 3:41 PM To: 'debian-user@lists.debian.org' Subject: Re: SID out of Date ??

Any CD is, therefore, out-of-date almost immediately after its creation. If you want CDs that aren't out-of-date get Potato discs. Of course, much of the software in Potato is out-of-date because development has continued. :-) -D -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
