I don't use scp from outside a firewall... but scp passes through a single ssh tunnel, so if ssh works, the networking portion of scp should work, and Bering should have absolutely nothing to do with it. I would review the names for your hosts... each endpoint should be able to identify the other. To eliminate name resolution from the picture for troubleshooting, use ip addresses in your file-specifications. Also, confirm that scp is installed and working on each end. Try ssh'ing to the other end, and scp'ing from there. Also try the -v option. --- Jeff NewmillerThe . . Go Live... DCN:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Basics: ##.#. ##.#. Live Go... Live: OO#.. Dead: OO#..

It is a skeleton package available for you to put your own executables into, to run out of the "/usr/local/" directories. This comes from the tradition of having system installed software in /bin and /usr/bin, and putting stuff that came from sources other than the source of your system install put in /usr/local. I don't think it is actually used very often on firewalls, which is why deleting it is a practical way to obtain some space.

Log on to the LEAF router and try to ping, BY address, the gateway your ISP gave you (one of the numbers that should have come with the static address you say you have). If that works, you can probably access the Internet. If it doesn't, tell us HOW the ping fails (see the LEAF FAQ for help with ping details). >And if it can, then >why is my w98 machine not able to get access. This is a bad way to ask the question. "get across" doesn't describe anything. What happened is that you couldn't access Websites using Internet Explorer, or you couldn't send e-mail, or you couldn't ping out, or you couldn't play Quake, or ... well, these are just examples, and only you know what you actually tried to do. >Here are some of the settings i've made and some of the trouble shooting >i've done. > >first of all, using the instructions from the service provider to set up my >W98 machine, I got a connection and have been using, so the modem and the >service is fine. > >1.

There is no default value for this. Did /32 work on your Windows host when iti was directly connected? If not, what setting did you actually use on it? As a general matter, the netmask has to be such that your IP address and the gateway IP address are on the same network (because the router needs a route to the gateway). There are other ways to do this -- you can use a /32 plus a static host route, for instance -- but making the netmask fit is the usual one. I think the LEAF FAQ has an entry on computing netmasks. (I certainly hope it does, because several of us have written good tutorials over the years.) >2. My provider gave me a username and domain name to set up my W98 machine. >However, I did not find where to enter this info into the LEAF machine. Is >it necessary for a static IP? Whether it is needed or not has nothing to do with whether your address is static or dynamic. You may need it as part of your e-mail address. It may be part of the ISP's system for authenticating you as a customer. It can matter for DNS resolution.

"retrieved an IP?" Do you mean you are running the LEAF system as a DHCP server and the WinXP host got a lease?

Yuou haven't reported anything like enough information to detetmine where the problem lies. Especially, we don't know if the WinXX host can communicate with the LEAF router, never mind whether anything on your LAN can reach the Internet.

[Leaf-user] Newbee troubleshooting Q (a bit long)
I'm fairly new to networking and so I maybe doing something obviously wrong. but here goes.

I am mainly intrested in the W98 machine, as that is the one that needs to work first. Here is my question. How do I know if the LEAF box is able to access the web? And if it can, then why is my w98 machine not able to get access. Here are some of the settings i've made and some of the trouble shooting i've done. first of all, using the instructions from the service provider to set up my W98 machine, I got a connection and have been using, so the modem and the service is fine. 1. I have a static IP from my provider. so I followed the instructions for setting up the LEAF box to work with a static IP. However, I did not get a clear answer from them on the the network mask length. They said it is 32 and this is what i set it to ie. eth0_MASKLEN=32 but I am not confident in this and will call back to talk to the network admin directly on monday. btw, is there a default value for this? 2. My provider gave me a username and domain name to set up my W98 machine. However, I did not find where to enter this info into the LEAF machine. Is it necessary for a static IP? 3. I believe that the conection between the LEAF box and the client machines is porbably ok, since after pluging the cable from the LEAF box to my XP machine and telling it to "fix conection" it retrieved an IP and established a conection, but still could not access the internet. as far as the hardware, all the cables are ok and all NIC's light up when pluged in. so i think it comes down to the setup of the LEAF box. in these areas. mask lenght setting. or Host and Domain information.

Re: [Leaf-user] more than 2 3c509 NIC (was tulip problems)
Brad and others, Thanks for your great help - I didn't have to install DOS onto a hard drive!! I downloaded the 3c5x9cfg.exe, about 230 kB. Before using it to configure the cards you have to disable pnp. That's done using the same executable, but with some command line args. I found pnpdsabl.bat which does the trick. fog.bio.unipd.it/pub/Networking/Drivers/3Com/3Com509-3Com509B/Disk2/pnpdsabl.bat After that I got five cards configured and when Bering boots they load at the correct addresses and show the selected IRQ!! cat /proc/ioports looks good, however cat/proc/interrupts doesn't show any interrupts for the cards. I don't have any cables plugged in at this point - are interrupts actually required before /proc/interrupts show up? I used irqs 3,5,7,11 and 15. What I get for cat /proc/interrupts is: CPU0 0: 886070 XT-PIC timer 1: 1190XT-PIC keyboard 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade NMI:0 ERR:0 I'm guessing that the column under the CPU0 is the count of occurence since it goes up every time I run the command.

Can you explain the steps explained by your ISP required to connect using Windows ? I use exactly the same hardware but the configuration really depends on the ISP and the kind of contract you have.

Sure sounds like you still have an IO port or IRQ conflict. If you configure the cards properly with 3c5x9cfg.exe, you will only need a single 3c509 line in /etc/modules and the driver will autmagically recognize all your 3c509b NICs. That's the setup in my 6 3c509b Bering box, and they all work fine. > I have a couple of other old NICs that aren't PNP, but without enough > information to know what driver they take. > > I don't want to waste a good machine for a firewall, but it's looking more > like that will have to be done. How is everyone else handling more than > two interfaces? In my opinion the 3c509b NICs are great cards. I bought a lot of 25 for about $2 a piece on eBay and whenever I can, I use them exclusively in the firewalls I build. Before I use one, I configure it with the copy of 3c5x9cfg.exe on a dos bootable floppy. Here's the uptime info from one of those firewalls right before I unplugged it to hook it up to a UPS: [brad@brad-nb brad]$ cat systen_router_uptime systenrouter: -root- # uptime 16:18:16 up 218 Days (5254h), load average: 0.00 0.00 0.00 I had *zero* problems with the NICs during that period and the same is true for the 3c509b NICs in my other firewalls.

Thanks for you response The modem I have is Alcatel Speed Touch Home ISDN Network Modem, and connected to LRP via Ethernet Cable, not USB. I have not been able to get the information regarding which protocol is used, PPP, PPPoE or What, but I´m still working on it. I got the following information from the ISP. With this information in the given places, I lack the knowledge how to test the modem, if it is connected or not. 1. I can ping the modem. 2. I can ping the HUB. 3. I can´t ping the outside world because I have not been accepted by the ISP, I have no connection to the outside world. Information given by the ISP Start- /etc/hosts 10.0.0.138 alcatel /etc/ppp/options noipdefault name "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" noauth defaultroute /etc/ppp/pap-secrets [EMAIL PROTECTED] alcatel password /etc/resolv.conf domain simnet.is nameserver 194.105.224.1 nameserver 194.105.277.20 End- These are the lines that are to be included in the given filenames. The next step would be to connect through the modem with the command: pptp alcatel whereafter I should be able to ping what ever address on the internet.

Be careful to load the USB modules if you have got the USB version. AFAIK this modem requires a special driver. Check: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/DSL-HOWTO/speedtouchusb.html You also need to know the type of connection you will need to talk to your modem. Speedtouch supports both PPPoE and PPPoA but you have to check the one which is supported by your ISP. Bering supports both types of connection. Let me know the precise reference of your modem. http://www.speedtouchdsl.com/homeprod.htm Let me know the type of connection you need to use (PPPoE or PPPoA) and I will compile the driver (if required) for you and help you to setup your connection. This is a very popular modem here in Europe and could be useful to some other folks.

[Leaf-user] more than 2 3c509 NIC (was tulip problems)
I don't know about using as many as 5, but I have successfully used 3 of the 3C509 NICs with Dachstein. I haven't tried the same config with Bering yet, but I would not expect the situation to be any different. No special tricks with the drivers were required, a single instance of the standard driver detected and initialized all 3 NICs. It was necessary to use the DOS utility provided by 3COM (3C5x9cfg.exe) to configure each NIC with unique IRQ and I/O addresses. The same utility can be used to disable PNP support in the 3C509B NICs. (Turning off PNP support in the motherboard BIOS might be a good idea as well.) As far as I know, the original 3C509 NIC did not support PNP. Note that you do not need to actually install all of the 3COM tools on the LEAF system to accomplish this. you can uncompress the files to a temporary folder on another machine, and just copy the 3C5x9cfg.exe utility to a bootable DOS disk. While you are at it, if the NICs you are using support multiple transceiver types, now is the time to select which one you intend to use most users will only be interested in 10Base-T. When I get a chance, I'll try the same config with Bering to compare results. Hope this helps! -original message below - FROM: David SmeadDATE: 04/13/2002 21:42:51SUBJECT: RE: [Leaf-user] tulip problems Thanks for your help, but I'm about ready to buy some new hardware. I have 5 of the 3C509B NICs. I downloaded the 3Com PNP tools which are a self expanding .exe. That didn't do me any good, because it expects to have a hard drive in the system for the expansion. I really don't want to install M$ on a hard drive!! But I discovered the isapnp site, ock.demon.co.uk/isapnptools/ and from there found a dos version that lets me boot dos, then swap disks and run a couple of tools to configure the cards. The tools say they configure with the io and irqs that I set. However, that doesn't work with Bering. I still get just two interfaces instead of four. I've tried linking to 3c509.o to make it look like I have another driver, and I've copied 3c509.o to another filename and listed that in /etc/modules and I still get operation not supported by device. I have a couple of other old NICs that aren't PNP, but without enough information to know what driver they take. I don't want to waste a good machine for a firewall, but it's looking more like that will have to be done. How is everyone else handling more than two interfaces? ___ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
