[leaf-user] LEAF Printing
I'm sure this topic has been covered to one degree or another, but here it goes: Is there a LEAF package available to allow me to connect up my inkejet printer to the router for shared printing across my Windoz network?

RE: [leaf-user] Cable Connections
Far from being an expert, I'm going to say 'no' right off the bat. An educated guess would say that, yes, you could take the cable signal, connect to a modem and then to your box. But you would have to separate the 'sub-low' from the rest of the cable signals, re-inject them back onto a common wire and then it gets messy. You would have to make some arrangement where you have a separate wire to each household from your central location. If there is equipment ready to do this, it would probably be of prohibitive cost.

You have two options afaik. The p9100.lrp package, or a suitable version of samba packaged for LEAF. Personally I think I'd prefer the samba-based solution but I had trouble getting it to work at the time. The p9100 method was so much easier and I had to get things going in a rush.

RE: [leaf-user] Cable Connections
OK. I could be misinterpreting. I was under the assumption that the builder is buying cable service from a provider (wholesale) then supplying his development. If he is playing the whole cable provider scenario, starting with the whole 'head end', then it probably gets a little more simple. Still a bit of a cost associated with being the head-end. I would imagine that using LEAF router to interface between backbone and higher-speed cable modem (1000mbps?) to keep up with the 'subscribers' cable modems makes sense to me. If, however, he IS buying cable signal from another supplier, he would have to make some sort of arrangement to integrate with their internet service, or block the sub-low band (where the data is) and supply his own. OK. I'm rambling about something I am not totally familiar with and haven't really investigated.. :-) Cheers. === Work: http://www.olgclotteries.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] 888-345-7568 ext 2205 Personal: http://www.mullan.ca [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSN:[EMAIL PROTECTED] === S Mohan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: John Mullan [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]cc: ceforge.net Subject: RE: [leaf-user] Cable Connections 12/10/2002 06:29 AM There must be some place where the provider converts to ethernet to connect to the Internet.

I thought my problem was Java related but maybe not. well, I've seen it working on plenty of Dachtstein boxes (and the odd Matterhorn box as well) - so as far as I can tell, it _does_ work. And I guess Charles would have removed it from Dachstein, if it didn't work at all. Since Weblet ran out of the box on the images I tried, I tend to agree with you that it indeed is a Java related problem on your browser - but lacking any info what it is (or isn't) doing, I could only speculate on what's happening. The short version is, if the applet loads, but displayes No data, it's likely a problem with your setup on Dachstein (the most common being settings in hosts.allow/hosts.deny and the firewall settings - check http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/hejl/troubleshooting.html for more info about troubleshooting that part). If you don't even see the applet starting (but rather a some message about getting a plugin, or simply a gray window), it's likely an issue with the browser. The easiest to check that would be to go to a page that loads a java applet (for example, on http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/applet/overview/compon entMethods.html - there should be a small applet near the bottom of the page) and see if it works there (if it does but the status monitor of weblet still doesn't work, please let me know - you might be the first to come across a new bug...)

Re: [leaf-user] Cable Connections
I think others have mostly answered this one, but your follow-up suggests there may be a gap in the details. If the client is actually *providing* cable service himself (and not just running the wire to distribute some cable company's feed around the development), then he has to have something at the headend (the central location you refer to) that puts all the signals ... the local broadcast TV channels, satellite feeds, whatever he is providing ... on *his* cable. If that equipment provides a way to add an IP-baed feed to the mix, then that equipment handles the hardware requirements on the distribution side. It simply needs to accept the IP traffic from some sort of interface that the LEAF router knows about (most likely something that can connect to an Ethernet interface). To sell (or give away) Internet service, he has to get it from somewhere. It will come in as a cable feed, or a DSL line, or a DS-1 line, or whatever he buys. That incoming service will need an interface, either one that converts it to Ethernet (e.g., a cable modem) or one on the LEAF router that handles that type of connection (e.g., a Sangoma card). If those requirements are met, then a LEAF router should serve him well; just make sure you scale the hardware right for the expected traffic levels. The converting it issues are just hardware issues, and if you can make the connections to an i86 box, then LEAF should be able to handle it. OTOH, if he is just resistributing someone else's cable feed to the development, then what you want to do is a bit trickier, probably not doable without the cooperation of the provider. If this is the situation, give us more details.

[leaf-user] Prism2_usb Kernel Panics - WISP
I am getting so close to getting this thing work I can smell it. With WISP-2397 I can load the prism2_usb and p80211 modules (from Bering 1.0) and using a configuration script from the wlan-ng site I can start and stop the usb wireless adapter. The usb adapter syncs up with the access point, and I can view stats from the adapter. However as soon as I set a *correct* wireless encryption key, the first byte of actual data over the link causes a kernel panic. If anyone has managed to get a Prism2 USB adapter working I'd love to learn the trick. derek --- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
Re: [leaf-user] dhclient to dchp server handshaking
John
I had to wait for my cable modem to forget the mac address of my interface
to reply... ;-) too lazy to reset the bugger.
I am not completely convinced by your reasoning. I can believe there is
something fishy with the DHCP server but apparently some drivers handle it
better than others.
I have a cable modem which connects to a switch to which I connect 2 Bering
1_0rc3 boxes, one is my real firewall, a notebook with a xircom and a
d-link pcmcia card, the other a plain vanilla desktop with 2 OEM ne2k-pci
cards.
The notebook shows exactly the same symptoms as the one show below whereas
the desktop does not. The error message is generated by the dhclient
program which notices a difference between the lenght in the packet header
and the actual length of the packet returned from the driver. Here is the
responsible code from packet.c
/* Check the IP packet length. */
if (ntohs (ip - ip_len) != buflen) {
if ((ntohs (ip - ip_len + 2) ~1) == buflen)
ignore = 1;
else
log_debug (ip length %d disagrees with bytes received %d.,
ntohs (ip - ip_len), buflen);
}
So this is where the error gets loggged, the buflen parameter gets passed
from the calling routine and apparently it does neither match the value of
the lenght field in the ip header nor the next multiple of 2, (obviously,
it is always 4 bytes longer) This apparently does not happen with all
drivers/hardware. so your test is IMHO not completely conclusive because
the only system which exposes the error is also the only system using a
3c900 NIC according to your description
I believe we have to refer to the driver gurus to get further in this matter.
Here is the lsmod of my affected system:

Based on the above snapshots, it looks like the DHCP server used by my
cablemodem ISP may be the culprit causing the dhclient error messages. As
a recap, I was getting the same dhclient error using both a 3c509
(3c509.o) and a pci Linkys (ne.o). So this seems to point to the DHCP
server used by my ISP as the problem. Since I don't have a Linux system
where I can build different versions of the RTL8139 driver or other
drivers and don't have a RTL8139 card, I can't try the RTL8139 type NICs
or try to fix the other drivers.
So I guess the end result is that I'll have to live with the dhclient
error in hopes that its doesn't cause too much of a problem and hope that
my ISP eventually fixes the problem on their end.
This has been quite an interesting exercise.

In /root/.profile, put the following code:

export PS1=`echo -n -e \n$HOSTNAME: -$USER-$PWD`
}
alias cd=cdp
Thus for every cd, the new directory is also shown in the prompt.

The technique of creating an alias for the cd command is only required
to mimic the behavior of bash, which allows dynamic expansion of the
prompt for things like current directory.
To change the basic Dachstein prompt, it should be enough to edit the
.profile file in /root/. Note that in Dachstein, root has a .profile
file that assigns PS1, which will override global changes made in
/etc/profile (which may be part of why you're having problems), so if
you want to make changes that affect *ALL* users, you'll have to edit
/etc/profile as well as /root/.profile

Re: [leaf-user] Cable Connections
Thanks for the answers so far on this issue. Although it leaves me with questions to ask the developer rather than my friend doing some of the construction work :) Basically the information I've gotten so far is from a friend of mine who got a contract to do all the porches in this development. Currently there's only 1 house in the area it's for the guy who will be managing the whole housing development. As far as I know, nothing else will be bulit until at least next spring. The plan is a higher end housing development, the pricing for the land itself is definately on the high end, but the people coming in from East West Coast aren't blinking an eye at the figures for just the land. Unfortunately this tosses out the idea of the easy way of simply running CAT5 cable through an apartment complex (I've thought of doing this before also). Another idea I thought of was to set up wireless access points throughout, but that can get messy and/or complicated... however a possible idea considering it's a new toy :) As to the questions of whether he is providing the cable service or simply forwarding someone elses I don't know. More than likely either way he will be getting the cable service from Comcast (I'm not sure if Roadrunner is in that part of town or not). If anyone has any knowledge of either of these how easy they are to deal with, please let me know. The guaranteed way to solve this is to simply dump a leaf box in each house built which might be the better way as Jim might want to set up a Quake server, but Bob doesn't want anyone even trying to connect to his computers. Either way I'm wondering if anyone has found a good place to get the necessary hardware? I was sort of hoping to find a small case just large enough to fit the hardware inside. Someone suggested I look at the shuttles, but those seem to much of a powerhouse and cash output just for a leaf box (or 20). At this point its all talk, but I'm interested in answers so I can pull this off :) Btw, is there a LEAF advocacy group or anything? I keep getting luser responses such as 'I don't have any info on my computer worth stealing, why do I need a firewall?' Not to mention I might have a media outlet... my neighbor is a news editor for one of the local news stations (can't remember whether it's fox, nbc, or what).
