Dear all,
I am going to set up a system with two ethernet-cards. Now I'm looking
for literature on how to configure the machine as a router (connecting
a few machines with a LAN (no subnet used).
The Multiple-Ethernet-mini-HOWTO doesn't exist anymore on either
sunsite.unc.edu nor www.lycos.com. What happened? Some other
resources?
Best regards,
Rene

Subject: Running MSDOS programs over PPP
Date: Tue, 16 Mar 1999 16:42:58 GMT
I have a working dial-in ppp service (using mgetty / mgetty+sendfax) that allows
me to telnet, ftp, etc into a Linux Server machine. I (also) have a working
SAMBA Server that appears in the 'neighborhood networking' of any/all Win9X
machines that are networked to the server (via eth0).
I have modified the '/etc/smb.conf' file so that SAMBA provides 'wins support'.
On the Win9X machine (that will be dialing into the Linux Server), I have
modified the TSP/IP (for the dial-up adapter) to show that the Linux Server (at
192.168.0.1) is going to provide WINS Resolution.
What I need to do is to dial into the server and see the SAMBA shares (so that I
can map a SAMBA share over to a drive letter) and run a MSDOS program (that is
stored on the Linux machine). Right now, it doesn't work.
When I dial into the Linux server, the Windows9X IP configuration program shows
that it knows that there is a Primary WINS Server, but shows that Wins Proxy is
disabled.
Where do I go (go a HOWTO or URL) to find that answers for what I need to do to
finish this project? TIA KAS

The delay is casued by the linux telnetd trying to do a reverse dns
lookup on your Win98's Ip address and getting no response from its dns
server. Have a look in /etc/resolv.conf and see what name servers you
are trying to use.
Hope this helps.

Using VNC on Windows to view the Linux box, it works quite well -- as good
as the free X I was using, or better. Yes, even running Netscape on the
Linux box from a window on Win98 (I needed to download some stuff directly
to the Linux box).
Trying to go the other way, viewing a Win box on Linux, vncviewer seg faults
and dumps core instantly. Doesn't matter what parameters I try to give it,
or none. I'm using VNC 3.3.2 on RedHat 5.0, kernel 2.0.35.
If anyone has a clue, I'd be grateful.

hehe... a strange think indeed...
Ftp has two working models: passive and non-passive (someone called it
active)
I never know the order but:
- One uses port 20 to connect and port 21 to send data (ftp-data)
- The other uses port 20 to connect and port > 1024 to send data.
Don't know why, but ie or netscape, both use this later model, so the only
way for you to let the data pass is to open incoming connections to ports
>1024, I think...
Hope it helps,

We have the same problems with our Win95 and NTs.
Basic Win95 and NT4.0 works with Linux/Samba,
but Win98 (95+sp3) and NT 4.3 (4.0+sp3) does not.
We just have to avoid all the service packs and software

Fortunately, netscape still works without Microsoft Security Packs.

Date: Tue, 16 Mar 1999 17:42:09 GMT
I was able to get masquerading working such that ppp0 is my v.90 modem and
eth0 is the nic connected to my win95 box. I'm trying to prepare for a
future installation of a cable modem and so I also have a second nic, eth1
installed which will hopefully replace ppp0. The funny thing is, if I
activate eth1, masquerading stops working. As soon as I deactivate eth1, it
works again. I tried messing with the routing table, but it didn't work and
I think it hosed linuxconf somehow. Can anyone elaborate on setting up the
routing table ?

Subject: write about networking
Date: Tue, 16 Mar 1999 11:39:49 -0600
I'm editing a networking textbook for Course Technology, a major publisher
of computer books. This book is designed to prepare students for the
COMPTIA's Net+ certification exam, and covers a broad range of topics. The
author is Tamara Dean, of Berbee Consulting, in Madison, Wisconsin.
In order to make the information as meaningful as possible for rookie
networkers, we'd like to include "real-world stories" from practicing
professionals. We're looking for short (2 to 3 paragraph) accounts of events
in the life of a networking professional that underscore the need to master
the topics covered in the text. A typical story might go something like:
"Early one Monday morning a client called me in a panic because....."
We need stories for the following topics:
Networking Standards and the OSI Model
Network Protocols
Topology and Architecture
Transmission Media
Networking Hardware
WANs and Remote Connectivity
Networking with Windows NT
Networking with Novell NetWare
Maintaining and Upgrading the Network
Analyzing and Improving Network Performance
Ensuring Data Integrity and Availability
Managing Network Design and Implementation
Documentation and Standard Operating Procedures
Training and Support
We can pay $100 per story. One story will appear at the beginning of each
chapter, along with the writer's name and company.
If you're interested, please contact me via e-mail at: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

To get the 3c900 to detect cable correctly get a T connector and 2
termnators and attach them to the back of the NIC and change the
config again. You should not see the msg. again. It is some type of
cable test the card is doing and it is failing, dunno what causes it.

Get a netgear router instead. It is totally system independent so, it will
run with Windows, Linux, et al.
You will spend a little more money (total of about $300 US), but it is well
worth it.
BTW, Netgear has switched out the chips on their network cards. They might
not work out of the box now (like mine did), so you might look at 3Com if
you are not familiar with compiling new drivers.

I think you are all dismissing his point too lightly.
I have been a UNIX sysadmin since 1990. I have used many
of the major variants of commercial UNIX from my early BSD
days with SunOS up through currently being surrounded with
mostly SysV systems like IRIX and Solaris. I have dabbled
my toe in Linux every now and then. Last month I decided I
was going to get serious about Linux and cleared out my office
except for one Celeron PC on which I was going to load Mandrake
and since it was my office PC I would be sitting in front of
it everyday and thus be forcing myself to learn it.
Installing and getting it basically up and running was fairly
simple. However, as I dove into more complex things than just
getting an X-Windows box, like PPP dialup and sound, things got
hairy quickly. Merely finding the documentation I needed was a
trial. The Documentation people are light-years behind the
kernel people. So while we have very excellent code in 2.2.3
the docs will be from 2.0 quite often, and you end up reading
the source code to figure things out. I am still struggling to
get my Creative SB PCI64 to work correctly. Doing a web search
always seemed to result in so many hits that I was drowned in
trying to search for the needle in the haystack of postings that
were about something close to what I was doing, but not exactly.
Linux is like any other UNIX. It does certain things frighteningly
well, like for instance not having to be rebooted every day :-)
Friendly, no. I like KDE, but it is closer to CDE than to MSWindows
despite some nods in the MS direction. The rest of the OS is a
bit of a mish-mash of things. For instance in Redhat, there seems
to be a blend of startup methodology. In /etc/rc.d/ you have some
elements of SysV-style startups. Yet mixed in there is some BSD
mentality, for instance /etc/rc.d/rc.serial to set serial ports
instead of putting them in the /etc/rc.d/rc#.d run level startups.
Geez, make up your mind people! I hated it when I first started
playing with HPUX and had to remember that on THIS variant, it's
not /etc/fstab it's /etc/checklist, etc.
It's strength I think is it's background from a mainframe
environment. It's a design for many users that is making it's
way DOWN to the desktop. NT on the other hand is trying to evolve
it's way from the single-user desktop upward, and is having a lot
of problems trying to keep it's reptilian brain compatibility.
To borrow a line from Star Trek, it's much easier for a civilized
man to act as a barbarian than a barbarian to act civilized.
I love UNIX I truly do, but you are going to have many people
including me, who expect Linux to not only do UNIX well, which
it does, but also do PC stuff well, which it doesn't. Like I said
I shouldn't expect any variant of UNIX to do sound stuff well, but
yet I find myself inexplicably frustrated at for example the very
limited sound support in Linux. And I should know better.

Go get this and run the script. It will setup everything correctly IF you have
the right info that it asks for in the script.

I found a really good resource called Diagnosing Your Samba Server at
http://gd.tuwien.ac.at:8020/samba/docs/DIAGNOSIS.html
It really helped me get SAMBA up and running
Hope this helps.

If you don't know how to install a kernel, the HOWTO will work.
However recent information can be found in the Documentation directory
of the kernel source tree.
