Re: [Leaf-user] LRP Oxygen CD and floppy disk boot question
My box is working I would like to a few minutes to say thanks to all of you who provided me with such wonderful and unselfish assistance. Thanks Dave and Jeff Lynn and everyone else on this post.

I forgot about one more thing you need. Find the ipchains.lrp package and make sure it's on one of your diskettes so that it gets loaded. Then you can type in the rule that gets you internal networked and masq'd and gets the packets forwarded back and forth: ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -i eth1 -s eth1_network_address/eth1_netmask for me would look like ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -i eth1 -s 10.2.3.0/24 or maybe on yours it would be ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -i eth1 -s 192.168.1.0/24 you get the idea. Then, everything else being in order, you should be on your way. The portfw and autofw modules are used with the ipmasqadm command. That is used to forward port from the external interface to a server on the internal network somwhere. Not an issue for you at this time.

I open the resolv.conf file and wrote something like this: XXX.XXX.XXX # DNS0 XXX.XXX.XX # DNS1 If you put valid statements into Oxygen's resolv.conf, then you can sit down at the Oxygen terminal and type nslookup www.google.com and it will return the correct address, assuming the network is up and the default gateway is set correctly on Oxygen. A valid resolv.conf looks like this: nameserver 206.13.28.12 nameserver 206.13.31.12 search schalit.net The search line says that, if I type at the Oxygen prompt: nslookup ftp it will automatically append the .schalit.net part of the search statement and then try to look that up as in nslookup ftp.schalit.net So that's the story with /etc/resolv.conf. Now onto your internal network. To get your LAN computer functioning correctly, you need to assign them ip addresses which are on the same subnet as the internal nic. Thus the whole internal network is on the same subnet. I think you did this already, something like: 10.1.2.3/24 Internal comp 10.1.2.4/24 Internal comp 10.1.2.5/24 Internal comp ... ... 10.1.2.254/24Oxygen fireall or something like 192.168.1.1/24 Internal comp 192.168.1.2/24 Internal comp 192.168.1.3/24 Internal comp 192.168.1.4/24 Internal comp ... ... 192.168.1.254/24 Oxygen Next you have to set the Default Gateway on the LAN computers. You would set that to 10.1.2.254 if you were following my first example. Next you have to set the primary and secondary DNS on the LAN computers. You set those to be the same ip addresses as the ones you put in resolv.conf. So now all your computers have the same dns addresses listed in their network configs. Once you do that, you should be able to sit down at the LAN computers and ping 10.1.2.254 ping 63.194.213.179--- that's me :) ping 216.239.35.100--- that's www.google.com ping www.google.com--- and finally by name. Does it all work now? That is the only thing in that file. From behind the firewall I can ping to both network card address. from the router I can ping to the gateway fine. But if I type: ping cnn.com or ping XXX.XXX.XXX (actually ip address for cnn) it wont resolve it. all packets are lost. It that doesn't work on Oxygen, if you can't ping 63.194.213.179, which is my ipaddress, then Oxygen still needs work to get the default route setup, I think. Check that with ip addr show ip route show grep GATEWAY /etc/network.conf and paste the output into your reply for us to see. also does ipsec comes in the 1668 self contained floppy image or do I need to copy it there? (oxygen 1.8.0 with openwall floppy) No, I don't believe it does, but I'm not sure ot this... Ipsec does not come as part of the 1.8.0 floppy. It's an add in package, as Lynn mentioned.

I'm not sure I followed all that, but there are some things to remember: Oxygen is not set up to use 1.44 floppies by default anywhere. By this I mean when you do a backup it uses 1.68M floppies (or tries to); the configurations (*.cfg files) all assume 1.68M floppies; etc. If you want to back up to 1.44M floppies I tend to do: mount /dev/fd0u1440 /mnt/floppy cd /tmp apkg -c whateverpkg cp whateverpkg.lrp /mnt/floppy umount /mnt/floppy ...crude (somewhat), but it works. /dev/backup is supposed to eventually be used in this capacity - so that 1.44M floppies or 1.68M floppies could be used for default backup disks by apkg and bpkg. Secondly, when you boot from floppy you can control what formats the disks are in that are requested - look at oxygen.cfg and other *.cfg files for what you want. oxygen.cfg is the default for floppy boots, and cdrom.cfg is the default for CDROM boots. Thirdly, when the CDROM boots, your configurations are fixed since they are on CDROM - if you need a 1.68M floppy, that's what you need. Fourthly, you need to format the 1.68M floppies for use beforehand - using a 1.44M floppy off the shelf doesn't work. The CDROM should come with syslinux.lrp and fdformat.lrp just for this purpose.

RE: [Leaf-user] LRP Oxygen CD and floppy disk boot question
In regards to your question about using static ip's on the internal machines, there's two different dhcp-related modules... there's dhclient, which is a dhcp client for your router, enabling your router to pick up an external IP automatically. I gather from what you said that you have a static external ip, so you're not using this. HOWEVER this does not preclude you from using the other dhcp-related module, dhcpd. dhcpd is the dhcp-daemon, which acts as a dhcp server on your router allows internal machines to automatically grab their ip addresses from the router, so you don't have to pick and choose ip addresses for your internal machines. You can use dhcpd without dhclient with no problems (I do on my dachstein router).

You need to use a floppy that's been preformatted to 1.68M... 2)inside the /etc/ folder the file network.conf presented me with some questions: should I set eth0 as local or as external? the entries for eth0 and eth1 both requires IP, netmask and gateways setup should they be the same or different? You need to have a firewall package like rcf.lrp or seawall.lrp loaded. You also are setting up two interfaces on two different networks; the IP addresses, network addresses, and netmasks are likely to all be different. 3)I also saw two files that look kinda familiar to network.conf I am referring to networks.conf and gateways.conf. Do I need to configure those files too or should I rely only on the one first one (2)? (A UNIX manual would help :) /etc/network.conf configures your network. /etc/networks is similar to /etc/hosts: they allow you to have names for networks instead of just numbers. You should be able to ignore /etc/networks and /etc/gateways I would think... 4)inside the module option I saw three network files: pci-scan tulip and eepro 100 since I am running 2 nics 3C905 I figured I need to get some drivers for those 2 cards and mount them. Does that sound right or I have enough tools there? pci-scan is used for supporting PCI cards; the others can likely be removed.

I found out how I can change and move out of each file that is presented to me, but when trying to save it (back up) it comes with the following error end_request, I/O error dev 02:2c(floppy), sector 19 end_request, I/O error dev 02:2c(floppy), sector 20 At first I thought it was a bad floppy but when I tried some brand new disk the error persisted and nothing got copied. Does that sound like a common thing? Is it the disk? should I make a image file from the cd first? 2)inside the /etc/ folder the file network.conf presented me with some questions: should I set eth0 as local or as external? the entries for eth0 and eth1 both requires IP, netmask and gateways setup should they be the same or different? 3)I also saw two files that look kinda familiar to network.conf I am referring to networks.conf and gateways.conf. Do I need to configure those files too or should I rely only on the one first one (2)? 4)inside the module option I saw three network files: pci-scan tulip and eepro 100 since I am running 2 nics 3C905 I figured I need to get some drivers for those 2 cards and mount them. Does that sound right or I have enough tools there? thanks and regards. -M _ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com ___ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
