HELP: Telneting Inbound via a PPP Connection

1998-04-20 Thread Rob Goodwin
Hi there,

I'm having a serious problem here.   I have been able to set up my machine
to accept PPP connection.  I can dial from a win95 machine and use PAP to
authenticate and connect.  The IP address is assigned to the win95 machine
alright and I can then ping my linux box but that's about it.  Any attempt
to telnet or ftp yields nothing.  no login prompt, etc.

What could be the problem?

The linux box IP is 192.168.1.1 and the IP being assigned to ttyS2 is
192.168.1.10.  I also have IP masquerading set up for the LAN. (although it
isn't connected at the moment when it was it was working fine)  I thought
the most obvious things would be  in the hosts.allow or the ipfwadm set up
in rc.local  so I posted them below.  If it could be something else please
let me know.

like I said, a ping to 192.168.1.1 over the modem works without a problem
as does using the linux box as an Internet gateway for the LAN.   I just
can't telnet or ftp in over a modem.

thanks,

rob

1998-03-12 Thread Rob Goodwin

hi folks,

can someone tell me where i can find the information i need to set up a 
POP3 server.  First I guess i should ask if there is even one out there 
freely available?  I imagine there must be though as there seems to be 
everything else.

loading support for 2 ethernet cards

1998-03-04 Thread Rob Goodwin
I am having trouble autoprobing more than one Ethernet card at boot
time.  I have compiled support for the cards I am using (they are both
of the same type) but only one is detected at boot time.  I found a
howto that describes a method that involves adding the line
"ether=0,0,eth1" to my lilo.conf file but I continuosly get syntax
errors when doing this and I cant figure out where in the lilo.conf file
to put this line... Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance 
Rob

tape backup regiment

1998-03-04 Thread Rob Goodwin
I would like to set up a "fail-safe" backup system for a linux box that
i am putting together for a client of mine.  Ideally the client will
just have to make sure there is a new tape in there every other day and
a cron will take care of backing up the entire 2G drive to tape sometime
when everyone else is sleeping.

In the event of a drive crash I would like to have some kind of a boot
disk handy such that once the drive is replaced they can run a script to
fdisk/format/restore from tape.  Has anyone heard of or done something
like this?  how?

any suggestions on tape hardware? 

thanks,

rob
