Don't bother. The original poster is at Earthlink, and we do not
allow multiple logins under any circumstances. You can get a two B
channel connection, but it's up to the routers at the PoP to give it
to you. (Second channel gets the same IP, and if it's on a different
router, down it goes.)

Subject: modem hangs with 56K USR external on RH5.2 Please help!!
Date: 12 Jan 1999 02:28:51 GMT
hi:
I am trying to get my PPP conn set up on my RH5.2 (2.0.36) and my modem
seems to hang when it reaches the 'OK-+++\c-OK' part of my dialer
script. I am using the dialer script as in the PPP HOWTO document.
The same thing happens when I use minicom too (I dunno where it hangs
in this case).
I am using an external modem and my serial port looks fine. I dont have
any conflicts (I/O port or IRQ). And the modem is not a winmodem.
I have a static IP from my ISP.
My /var/log/messages just says that my connect script failed.
The bizarre thing is when I run ppp-on, sometimes the modem doesnt dial
the specified number. It omits one or two numbers. I have never seen
this before.!!!!!
I am really exhausted and frustrated :-( Please Please somebody out
there
HELP ME PLEASE!!!
thanks a bunch

The main screen is called a "dashboard". It has 3 analog instruments
(side by side) in Q1 and Q2. The analog instruments show
packets/second, %utilization and errors/sec. Three pushbuttons allow
you to select a network, server or router to display in the analog
meters.
In Q3 and Q4, there is a scrollable listing of the machines on the
network and stats such as packet count in & out, pack velocity, errors,
etc.
It looks like other features include:
monitors
alarms
packet capture/time for logging
Definately an awesome looking tool. It's a commercial product by
Novell....

After much digging, watching and reading I've noticed that the
software isn't creating the scriptfile in /tmp that it's supposed to
create. It's not generating any errors in the software so I am assuming
that it thinks the file is there, but for the life of me I can't find
it.
So as the docs state, it calls this file /tmp which in turn calls the
actual file that does the setup, /etc/dhclient-script .
This would oc course explain why I'm seeing Network Unreachable errors
when the client is running. It of course doesn't explain why it thinks
it's creating a file that it isn't. Maybe I'll poke in the source code a
little more till I can convince it to create this file.

Another wierdun. I've managed to get my PPP up and running by enabling
WINS resolution (dunno why it worked, my wife's machine was set like it
and worked, mine wasn't and didn't, changing worked).
Using client Win95 machines, I can access sites like www.webcrawler.com,
but only if I miss off the leading 'www.' in Netscape 3.0 (Webcrawler is
not the only site to do this).
Does anyone have an explaination of this wierd behaviour?
I was told to tell Netscape to use a LAN connection, which I assume
means to not use a proxy. My wife has Netscape Communicator 4.0 with
this option set, and has the same problem anyway.

The strange thing is that redhat standard installation procedure will
put fully qualified domain names in /etc/hosts, even an alias for
localhost is defined with a domain part: 'localhost.localdomain' for
the case the system doesn't have a proper name. This is a FAQ BTW.

Just a little bit - there's a patch for Linux Masq that makes it work
better for several UDP games from at least two vendors. Info
at http://www.alumni.caltech.edu/~dank/peer-nat.html
The patch is in 2.2.0-pre6, I believe, so people who wait for 2.2
will get it by default.

Do you need to use encrypted passwords even if you set security = server,

Partition a portion of drive in FAT with extended; leave rest of drive
unpartitioned. Install WIN98, then NT (WARNING: Linux kernel can't read
NTFS, except for 2.1.xxx and upcoming 2.2) Then, install Linux which will
setup a procedure enabling you to partition the rest of the drive in ext2.
Upon reaching the LILO installation, set it up where LILO is installed on
partiiton boot sector. Make sure you make an emergency boot floppy. After
installation, reboot with the floppy and issue the following command to peel
off the linux boot sector:
# dd if=/dev/hda3 of=bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1
Replace "hda3" with wherever the linux boot partition is. You've just
created a file called "bootsect.lnx" in the current directory. Move or copy
this file to the active partition, normally C:\ Either copy to a DOS floppy
or mount the C:/ drive in Linux:
# mkdir /mnt/dos
# mount -t msdos /dev/hda1 /mnt/dos
Now, move or copy "bootsect.lnx" to /mnt/dos:
# mv bootsect.lnx /mnt/dos
Then, edit the boot.ini file for NT. You can do it from Linux or NT. Change
the attribute to boot.ini to archive,
[boot loader]
timeout
default
[operating systems]
multi .............."Windows NT Workstation Version 4"
multi...............
C:\ = "Windows 98"
C:\bootsect.lnx = "Linux"
Insert the last line, and now you have a triple boot PC.

the linux box that you have masquerading set up on should be your

That is the only reason I can think of, unless you have proxy settings

There is a utility called BROWSTAT.EXE on the Windows NT resource kit cd
(I think) which can be run on a Windows NT machine to tell you who the
master browser is.
Any machine running Microsoft networking CAN be a master browser, but if
there is a domain controller on the segment, it normally will be the

But denying access via /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow won't prevent
denial of service attacks on the various ports. Using ipfwadm gives
greater control over which ports can even receive packets.
Further, if the service isn't required (like you don't want anybody to
telnet in anyway), then it should be removed from the /etc/inetd.conf
file. Same for all the others.

Subject: Linux "Proxy" Server for win95/98 Inet Access
Date: Tue, 12 Jan 1999 22:30:15 +1100
Hi,
I have been asked to figure out a way that mulitple computers on a lan can
access the internet. I have mucked around with linux a little bit before so
I thought might be the best way to go (due to flexability).
There are:
30+ computers on a LAN with hub and IPX network all ready in place for
central database access.
Of these there are 8 (win95/98) that need internet access. These are
already hooked up to the hub. These do not need IPX access but the
cables/NICs/hubs are all setup.
I was reading through the various HOWTO's on using SOCKS proxy server to act
as a firewall/router for the access to the net. The linux box would have 1
modem *(more on this later) and 1 ethernet card hooked up to the hub and
thus all the computers.
With SOCKS proxy server I can permit and deny certain machines access which
is good.
My questions are...
1. is this the best way to go about it (I can't change the hub IPX network
config) to go about it (ala wingate type setup)..
2. If it is... is it possible to have 2 modem and inet accounts to increase
the speed. My ISP doesn't support EQL. I know that there is a windows
program that can do it, Midcore Modem Teaming, is it possible on the linux
machine?
Thank You for your time...

hi,
i have no knowledge of redhat and what its install-routine is like,
just a few hints:
a) normally you would need two nics, plus cable, to share your cd over a
network. now a parallel-cable-link ( or serial) is kind of a substitute for
this. but i do NOT think that it is fit for installation. sinc eyou have this
kind of small linux on the 486 anyway, you might be able to setup the link
with that one - look for PLIP-howto, thats a kind of networking protocol for
these links - , copy the cds to your local disk that way and setup locally
after that.
after that, you can again setup a network via plip.
sorry i have no time to go into more detail.
try and ask again if you get no further

Is there any way to do it and How?.
Any comment is welcome..

I am not using the same flavour of Linux as you, however on my system the
dhcpc installation created a symlink from the /etc/resolve.conf file to
/etc/dhcpc/resolv.conf, which the dhcpcd then fills with data obtained
from the dhcp server.
Is it possible your delays are caused by DNS lookup failures?

Recompile the kernel with support for IP-Aliasing. Enable the aliases
using ifconfig.

normally, the counters are only reset by ipfwadm -A -z. There might be
a cron-job calling that for gathering the information.
Look into your crontabs (/etc/crontab and root's crontab) for a job
that calls ipfwadm.

Subject: How to define IP accounting rules for NAT connections only
Date: Tue, 12 Jan 1999 10:39:54 GMT
I want to define IP accounting rules that are only counting the
"expensive" packets. Is it possible to define rules that are only
counting the NAT(masqueraded)-packets? Or only the packets
going via ippp0?
What I have now is
IPFWADM=/sbin/ipfwadm
NET_INTRA=192.168.168
case "$1" in
start) echo "Start IP accounting"
$IPFWADM -A -f
while read i
do case "$i" in
[0-9]*) $IPFWADM -A -a -b -S $NET_INTRA.$i/32 -D
$NET_INTRA.0/24
$IPFWADM -A -a -b -S $NET_INTRA.$i/32 -D
0.0.0.0/0
;;
esac
done </sbin/init.d/ipfwadm.allow
where ipfwadm.allow is a list of IPs that are allowed to access
the Internet. But this also counts the "inexpansive" packets,
eg. my telnet-sessions to the machine and connections to
the HTTP-Server installed there.
Or is there a way to exclude telnet and HTTP-connections
to the gateway-machine?
