[expert] ximian connector for exchange
Has anyone used the ximian connector for exchange? If so how was it? At the office I am so close to switching over to Linux, but the connection to exchange is the last thing stopping me. I would prefer not to buy a connector license. Does anyone know of another solution? Thanks Dan Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[expert] Linux Backup
Hi Guys! I have a couple Mandrake boxes running on my network, and I would like to know peoples opinions on the best way (also cost effective) to do a backup. Now I know this depends on what the uptime that I require is but.. I have a firewall and another box that is a mail server (just relays to another mail server) Would you guys suggest getting into disk mirroring / RAID (does it work well?) if so what would the config have to be? 4 disks? 2 for boot (and to mirror it) and 2 for data (and to mirror it) What about just tar cvf backup.tar ./ Thoughts?

[expert] 4 LAN cards
Hey Guys! Ok I have a box, acting as a firewall / router. All is good. It has 2 NIC cards in it of course Ok now I might be going way out, and maybe someone can tell me a better way to do this... I have 2 static IP's and I want them both to run into the same box. I want to put 4 NIC cards in the box. 2 (1 for each static IP) and 2 for non-routable. The reason for this... I want to have some mail servers and webservers on one network (192.168.0.1) and then have another network for the office (10.10.10.1) I would like to have my office people able to surf the net and be on a dif subnet then the webservers.. so no one monkeys around Is this a good way to do it?

RE: [expert] 4 LAN cards
I'm not sure I follow. I have 2 static IP's with my DSL provider. They do authentication my MAC address. So I will not be able to bind 2 static IP's to 1 NIC. (?) I will have two networks in the office. Network (a) for 20 or so computers to surf the net and play LAN games. Network (b) for my webservers email servers etc. I assume network (a) can connect to 1 Nic on the box lets say network 10.10.10.x Network (b)to another NIC and will be on 192.168.0.x. I guess my question can static routes do all this? Also how will internet connection sharing work? Or should I just leave that GUI alone? Thanks in advance guys!! Dan -Original Message- From: Lieven Van Acker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: December 1, 2002 7:00 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [expert] 4 LAN cards Hi, I suppose you only have one DSL connection, connected to only one ethernet interface. It will be this interface's mac that's used for autenthication with your DSL provider. The other NIC's and their resp. MAC addresses are not taken into account for connecting your DSL. So, as long as your outgoing connection only uses 1 IP address, there won't be a problem, no mather wich and how many NIC's / IP's you use for your internal LANs. Of course, if you are provided with only one registered, public available IP address, you will use NAT to hide your internal configuration from the outside world. From your configuration, I think 3 NICs will suffice: 1 connected to DSL provider 1 for your office subnet 1 for your servers subnet Each interface will have a primary IP. Outgoing traffic to your provider will be masqueraded, unlike ip-traffic between your office and servers subnet. If you want to host a number of services on this router/gateway, you can choose to assign some more virtual IP-addresses to your internal interfaces (office/servers subnet). To control and protect the traffic, you have several options. Bundled with linux mandrake comes shorewall (9.0) - controlled with mandrake control panel, guarddog (don't know if it's in standard edition, mandrake packages are available on the developer's site) - provides it's own graphical user interface to control the rules, and a bunch of other tools from very low to higher level control.

Hey Guys! a little background on my problem. I have a Mandrake box 8.0 acting as a kinda DSL router. It has 2 NIC cards. One with a Real IP and one with a non-routable (192.168.1.1) I have a web server on the inside on the following IP: 192.168.0.110 I have forwarding set up to send any request coming in on port 80 to 192.168.0.110. It does not work :( but the Linux box CAN ping the web server? If the web server is on 192.168.0.110 I assume it will work. (because I have used the iptables script on another box, and it works fine. The box is working as a gateway for the 3 or so computers behind it grabbing a DHCP assigned address. ;) Sooo I assume I need to do something n the Linux box for routing? Ideas? Here is a quick snip of the iptables script: #!/bin/sh modprobe ip_tables modprobe iptable_nat echo 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward iptables -F -t filter iptables -Z -t filter iptables -X -t filter iptables -F -t nat iptables -Z -t nat iptables -X -t nat #Setup your table policies; iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT #connexion share iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 142.179.182.112 -p tcp \ --dport 80 -j DNAT --to 192.168.1.110 Thanks!

[expert] Mandrake SNF
Hey Guys! I loaded SNF on a new box this weekend. (very cool little util from what I can tell) On the SNF: I can ping www.yahoo.com, and it replies. (so I assume all is good with the internet connection on that box. On a client machine behind the firewall I set: IP: 192.168.1.9 NetMast: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.1.10 (firewall IP) DNS: 192.168.1.10 ( I have also tried a live DNS servers IP) I can ping the firewall from the machine behind the firwall, but if I try to ping www.yahoo.com it does not work. However I CAN ping live internet addresses from behind the firwall without a problem. Can anyone guess what im doing wrong?? I thought maybe the firwall just blocks pings from the inside to the outside, but my browser does not seem to be able to surf the net. (I can get to the web admin) on another not, I cant seem to get the DHCP server of the firewall to work either, but I assume that is another problem, but I thought I would throw it in in case it might be connected.
