Subject: TCP/IP connectivity on LAN
Date: 26 Jan 1999 09:11:34 GMT
Guys,
I don't want to use SAMABA. I want to just use TCP/IP.
I have a Win NT machine 192.168.1.1 and subnet 255.255.255.0
and a Linux box 192.168.1.2 with subnet 255.255.255.0
What should I use for their default gateway?
I want the NT boxto be able to launch a telnet to 192.168.1.2
This is just a LAN with no Internet connectivity.
Thanks! Can someone please e-mail me the answer?

Subject: need help setting up realaudio IP masquerading
Date: Tue, 26 Jan 1999 00:21:59 -0800
Ok,
So I have two linux boxes. One's directly connected to the net via DSL.
This machine has IP masquerading set up for the second machine. The
second machine is doing fine with connecting to the Internet, *except*
for real audio. The realplayer on the second machine cannot play
networked real audio files. When I try, it says it's "buffering 20.0 k
file" but never gets beyond that. A look at Preferences->Statistics
shows that nothing is getting through the network to the player. It can
play the local "welcome.rm" file with no problem, though.
From what I read on the real audio firewall pages, the realaudio
protocol uses UDP port 7070 to send data from the client to the server.
So my question is, how do I modify my IP masquerading so that this
machine can send and receive at the proper ports? I tried doing on the
first machine : insmod ip_masq_raudio ports=7070
which *seems* to have worked, (no feedback from the shell), but no
improvement on the second machine's ability to play remote realaudio
files.
Thanks for any insight, HOWTO references, etc...

You can start your ppp up and then monitor it with
tail -f /var/log/messages
this updates in real time so you can see what is happening
( CTRL-C to get out of it )
You can do cat /var/log/syslog to get other information as well if you
have syslogd deamon running

Maybe you need to add netbios name-ip pairs in mpts for Netbios over
TCP/IP and set the name-pairs variable to non-zero.
Also the userid/password on the samba server needs to be the same as the
domain logon userid/pasword.

You must be pointing something at the unconnected nameserver? Either=20

Ditto for US West. Their tier one techs can't do anything at all for
you unless it's a supported OS. Keep a Win 95 partition and always
tell them Win 95 when they ask OS. US West's tier two and three techs
are mostly Linux/BSD people anyway.

I have a RH5.2 2.2.0-pre9 box talking to a Win98 machine using Samba. We

I have compiled the kernel with smbfs support, and the "Win95 bug

smbmount //Dendarii/stuff /mnt/mark -I 192.168.0.3 (yes,...
/mnt/mark is a valid empty directory)
... and I get :

Please look at smbmount's manual page for possible reasons
... even though there is no password on the '98 machine for the share.
If I use the "-n" option I get:
mount error: Invalid argument
Please look at smbmount's manual page for possible reasons
... almost like smbmount doesn't like the "-n" flag, even though it's in
its man page.
Any ideas? Do I need some wierd entries in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab?
Should I provide more info on my setup?
P.S - The linux machine is running IP masq to share it's internet
connection. The '98 machine has full internet access, and both machines
can ping each other, so I don't think it's a network configuration
problem.
Thanks again,

You're probably going to want to start with form of `ifconfig`; try
`ifconfig -a` and then go from there. Then, grep and awk to your heart's

It has been my experience that A LOT of 56k modems are soft 56k and soft v.90
meaning the best you will do in linux with these modems are 33.6.

This may be true -- but I have to back up Phil's plug for QVT. It
