Re: [expert] network question
i think with netconf or linuxconf you can also name your host and your domainname. if not maybe you can set it in /etc/sysconfig/network and/or /etc/Hostname /etc/Domainname.

Edit your HOSTNAME file, or run LinuxConf and select your "network" setup and change it there. I'm *guessing* the problem is that your system is saying "Hi, I'm 'localhost.localdomain'" and your gateway is saying "Heck, I don't know anyone by that name. Go away!"

Run linuxconf from a terminal. It deals with such setup and other stuff, like file systems and user accounts. Linuxconf is your friend. To replace the question with one of my own, I'm not really understanding the "basic host information" group (that's where you set the host name).

So in your case you would probably configure your Linux machine at work to do the routing/masquerading, and your home machine could access the Internet (and/or your company network, if you wish) without having to configure _anything_ on your workplace network (except for the linux machine). You have to install: 1. a kernel with IP masq enabled (most distributions will do). 2. management utilities for firewall rules (also most distros have them). As to configuration, you have the man pages for the utilities (man ipchains) and the HOWTOs: . IP Masquerading mini-Howto .

Re: [expert] Network Question:
Well the problem that you are having with the envizex terminal is not surprising. In order to get it to work you need the code for the xterminal either on a floppy disk or loaded on the linux box. Since the Xterminal is an HP and the software is propriatery software (Netstation 9 or 7.1) I doubt you will get it to work. But if you do have the code loaded.

But, I don't understand: do you plan to put this on your workplace LAN as port of entry from your home ? Wouldn't it be much less expensive to put a modem on your workplace PC, and configure it (the workplace PC) as a router/firewall for your home PC ???

Well, it's possible to connect system 2 to system 1 (will need some modem line on system 1, or its network, too...) but obviously you _cannot_ benefit fully of the T1 speed, because everything will be limited by your modem line's speed ...

Your home computer then dials into the webramp via its regular modem/phone line. The webramp answers and puts you on the ethernet at the office. How you go from there is up to you. http://www.rampnet.com Its a small box, size of a paperback or cigar box. It has 3 serial ports for up to three modems. Other end has a small ethernet hub. It is a complete dial in/dial out and IP Masquerade solution in a small box with no moving parts. About $300, far cheaper than a computer. From the ethernet side it is managed via a built-in web server interface. Out of the box it is 192.168.1.1, but that can be changed easily. There are several models; be sure you get one that allows dial-in. You can do the same thing with an older 486 or Pentium box running IPMasquerade, Coyote Linux, Linux Router Project or FreeSCO (Linux based) or IPRoute (MSDOS based). Of those, it seems Coyote has its act put together the best. I am playing with one here right now. Coyote does ether-ether and does not do PPP, but the others all do ether-ether, ether-PPP or PPP-PPP. In my experience, using a dedicated box like the WebRamp is a better solution if it fits your requirements. Cisco, Bay, Ascend and others make similar equipment. -- Ramon Gandia = Sysadmin == Nook Net http://www.nook.net[EMAIL PROTECTED] 285 West First Avenue tel. 907-443-7575 P.O.
