Ok, sweet and simple, if I type "diald up" at a prompt, the linux box
dials out and all works fine. BUT, if I just type "diald", the daemon
starts but never dials when I start my web browser or email or ping. It
was working for all of an hour or so then just quit. Any ideas?

Subject: Help! Linksys PCMCIA EthernetCard
Date: Sun, 13 Jun 1999 00:01:04 GMT
I'm trying to get a Linksys Combo PCMCIA EthernetCard working in my
Toshiba 2535 Satellite laptop. The PCMCIA modem card works fine. When I
installed RH 6.0, I asked for networking. I can run the "cardctl status"
command and it sees to PC cards. Both cardctl and cardmgr are in /sbin.
But I cannot find cardinfo anywhere. (It is strange. I also loaded RH
6.0 on a desktop and I could find cardinfo (although I don't remember if
it was in /sbin but I think it was there). Of course the desktop doesn't
have an PCMCIA slots.) (This PCMCIA card is supported in Linux.)
How can I fix this? How can I get the ethernet card working? Do I need
to try to reload the networking software from the CD? What else can I do
to track down the problem?
A related problem occurs when the laptop reboots. It gets error message
101 and repeats the line with RCP (if memory serves), something to do
with NFS. I guess because networking is not working, NFS isn't working.
However it sits there for over 5 minutes or so before completing the
boot process. How can I fix this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well, what you want to do isn't that trivial. It can't be explained
in a short reply. Let me list the big steps, to direct your
attention.
1) recompile your kernel to support masqerading and reboot.
2) issue the appropriate forwarding policy using ipfwadm
(once you are sure of the commands, you can put them in rc.local)
(also, make sure you allow forwarding)
3) Configure your 5 plus windows 98 machines to use your linux machine
as a gateway. You can either make your linux box be a DNS or tell the
windows machines to use whatever your ISP gave you as a DNS.
I learned how to do all three of these things from a book called _The
Linux Network_ by Fred Butzen and Christopher Hilton. It is very
detailed and very specific to exactly what you want (and I wanted) to
do.
However, I'm not feeling patient enough at the moment to condense and
paraphrase two chapters ;-)

The only thing that you have to do is set the defauklt gatway address of
your winbox to trhe ip address of your Linuxbox, the Linuxbox will then
forward those Notes calls over the Net to the appropriate Notes server.
Nothing to it!

Dhcp is supposed to supply the nameserver information. Since pump is the
dhcp client, the problem must lie somewhere therein. First I'd upgrade to
the latest pump package just in case that fixes the problem
(ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.0/i386/pump-0.6.7-1.i386.rpm, or use a mirror
from http://www.redhat.com/mirrors.html).

do you know why the cisco dsl modem is giving your nic a non-routable
lan only ip?
192.168.x.x are reserve for use in a local area network and will not
be routed on the internet.
does the dsl modem acts as a masquerading server?
check ifconfig to see if the ip address is assigned correctly.
>From what I've deal with ADSL, you actually need to get a real ip
address for it to work, not one of them lan only ones. the dsl modem
acts more as a bridge than a router.
let me get this straight, you assigned your nic 127.0.0.2 but the dhcp
server assigns your nic 192.168.1.4. which is the correct ip?
what I would do is make the adsl line works on another OS before
trying to fix Linux. Get a windows box and see if you can get it
online.

Greetings,
I have the following at the end of my /etc/rc.d/rc.local
/sbin/ipfwadm -F -p deny
/sbin/ipfwadm -F -a masquerade -S 192.168.1.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0
But I still have to type it in at a prompt to get ip masquerading to
work after booting. It doesn't matter when I do it as long as I do it
after I boot and before I try to got outside of my network.
Why isn't this going into effect upon boot-up?
Thanks,

I'm using isdn4linux to connect to my ISP and my employers network (10.x
private range). The ISP connections runs fine, but the connection to my
employers network won't work. Physical connection is OK, but then after
30 seconds the remote site disconnects. I presume something goes wrong
in the negotiation, but I cannot see what. Tried all the hints (Yes I do
read DejaNews..):
Added debug to ipppd at startup
Added daemon.* /var/log/ppp-log to /etc/syslog.conf (File is created but
zero length)
Even tried kdebug 7 in the ioptions file.
I'm running RedHat 6.0 kernel 2.2.9 with latest isdn and isdn4k-utils
releases.
How can I setup ipppd to show the LCP negotiation in some log???

You can try nslookup with IP address instead of the server name (try your
ISP's DNS server for example).
But if your nslookup hangs even after that, you may have problem related to
your routes or DNS in general.
If routes are ok, then try using different DNS server (fi. UUNET's DNS -
198.6.1.1)
Good luck!

(I'm nto sure of the exact command, check the man pages)
Also you will need to tell your Win95 machine how to route to network

working well in Windows 95 and Windows NT. I am trying to add IP

Samba operates on the standarts of smb protocol, which is not unique to
Samba only.
So when you create Virtual Private Network over Internet or another public
network, you will have your own WAN and YES you can transfer smb packets
over it.
