Dennis wrote: I have 3 NIC card... Actually I also have a plan to use that machine to having to internet connection... OK, Then it would be better if you set up Mandrake to handle the Internet connection and Internet sharing first. If you plan on hosting any websites, email servers, FTP, or other Internet-available services, it would follow that you'll be better off with a static IP address and a domain name. As an alternative, you can use one of the many free dynamic DNS services, but a lot of your functionality may be a question of whether or not your ISP will permit it. For instance, your ISP may be blocking ports 21, 25, 80, and 110, effectively preventing you from offering FTP, SMTP, HTTP, and POP3 directly from your connection. This is something you'll have to find out by contacting them directly. On the other hand, assuming that you are allowed by the ISP to offer up your web services to the Internet, then I'd suggest a few things. Since you have 3 network interface cards (a.k.a. NIC's) already, I'd suggest that eth0 (NIC #1) be used for your Internet connection, eth1 (NIC #2) be used on it's own subnet (10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 - for example) to connect to a hub or switch and from there to most of the other systems on your network, and finally eth2 (NIC #3) on a different subnet (192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 - for example) to connect to one last system, which can host any additional services you wish to experiment with. As a bonus, you can build your firewall so that anything on NIC #3 can be your De-Militarized Zone (a.k.a. DMZ) and/or set up as a Honey Pot zone to trap would-be intruders. If you don't plan on implementing a DMZ in this fashion, then remove NIC #3, since it wouldn't serve any other purpose. The only other option with NIC #3 would be to set up the second subnet and to use it like NIC #2, as another subnet. Keep in mind that you should still use a different subnet than your first one. While that may be a lot to digest, it gives you several option on what you can do with the system. Once you decide on a plan of action, come back to the list with as much info as you can provide (ISP details, long-term goals of the Mandrake box, etc., and I'm sure that someone will be around to help out.

(Install webmin, then start the webmin service in MandrakeControlCentreSystemServices, then point your browser to https://localhost:1 ) derek As an add-on to Derek's suggestion (well, sort of anyway), once you complete the Internet Connection Sharing Wizard, you can shut down Shorewall and Squid (permanently if you like), and switch to webmin networkingLinux Firewall to maintain Internet Connection Sharing and your firewall. For some of us (yes, me too), Linux Firewall is a lot less complex to manage, configure and maintain as long as you run Mandrake's ICS wizard first (and you only need to run it once). There seems to be a file located in /etc/sysconfig that is either modified or created when you run the ICS Wizard and that file makes ICS possible. I don't know which file it is, but then I normally don't have the time to find out. Once it's created, it stays put and works with Linux Firewall or Shorewall. On a small network with a broadband Internet connection, you might not want to use a proxy server (ie; Squid), and at least this gives you an option. Shorewall is definitely strong, but it's also highly complex to administer (at least in webmin), while Linux Firewall can take only a few minutes to set up. Since Mandrake's Shorewall Wizard is over simplified, it leaves a lot of the configuration possibilities and permutations out of the Wizard. As a direct opposite, IMHO, the webmin version of Shorewall can rapidly speed up your aging process. Linux Firewall allows you to set up a sophisticated firewall - one rule at a time, and like Shorewall, it will prevent you from starting a firewall which may have errors in it. One of the nicest benefits of the Linux Firewall is your ability to transport that set of rules as one file, instead of a bunch of sub-folders and files, allowing you to use it on other Mandrake systems with only a few basic changes. Again, it's only a question of choice. The good news is that you can play with both and decide which is best for you. -- Mr. Geek Registered Linux User #190712 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

You should also check the firewall settings on the server to see if it is even letting DHCP traffic in. Requests to the server require different settings then a client does.

[newbie] DHCP Issue, more info!
As you might know, I've been having an aggravating DHCP problem. I use DCHPCD, which claims to retrieve the lease renew time from the router. But, once a day, I have to go and unplug the router, and plug it back in, for it to reset. A sudden idea came to me today. My renew time is set to 0 on my router, which is equal to one day. I thought that perhaps DHCPCD recognized 0 as some other time, or no time at all. I therefore set it to 720 minutes. I reset the router, went to my laptop, and did an ifup wlan0. I then checked /etc/dhcpc/ folder, and looked at the info file. The times were still not correct. I then realized that I maybe should send the info file to this list. So, here it is: IPADDR=192.168.1.101 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.1.0 BROADCAST=192.168.1.255 GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 DNS=167.206.3.205,167.206.3.139,167.206.3.206 DHCPSID=192.168.1.1 DHCPGIADDR=0.0.0.0 DHCPSIADDR=0.0.0.0 DHCPCHADDR=00:00:D1:21:C7:B0 DHCPSHADDR=00:06:25:E7:C1:C1 DHCPSNAME='' LEASETIME=43200 RENEWALTIME=21600 REBINDTIME=37800 INTERFACE='wlan0' CLASSID='Linux 2.6.3-4mdk i686' CLIENTID=00:00:D1:21:C7:B0 This ring anyones bell?

[newbie] Dhcp client issues with samba server and others
I have a laptop that's is running dhcp since i move around a lot with it. For the most part everything works fine except for some services. Notably samba and ftp. From what i can gather is these services are requiring an ip addy which is not available at the time they are started from the rc5.d path. If I then login as root and restart the services everything works fine. The error message i get from somba nmb service is no local interfaces. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] DHCP release/renewal
Hi all, this is my first time posting to this list. The question I had was this... I run two computers off a hub/switch in my house on a cable modem, my ISP will assign a separate IP to both so it doesn't require a router. My Windows machine has kept the same IP for months, my Mandrake 9.0 machine seems to get about 2-3 new IP's a DAY. Is there anything I can set to keep the machine from release/renewing so often? It doesn't matter if the machine is kept on constantly, sometimes it will renew in the middle of a console session, it seems so random and it's annoying. I'd prefer not to get a static IP but it seems I might have to go that route. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Sorry - there are heaps of work-arounds, but in reality, nothing beats the stability of static. I used to say something similar. But since I have been working with a DHCP server in order to provide ip services to winblows clients, I have found it to be very reliable. The DHCP server can be configured to provide an ip that doesn't change to a selected hardware address; basically the same as a static IP. This of course applies only when YOU control the DHCP server. However if you do have one, then you can tell it to supply whatever IP you want the hardware to have; including perhaps an available IP on the ISP's net. In a corporate situation a DHCP server allows very easy administration of IP's from a central location. These days I've got a DHCP server on the local net here, and I've been pretty pleased with the results and ease of use. --LX -- °°° Kernel 2.4.18-6mdk Mandrake Linux 8.2 Enlightenment 0.16.5-11mdkEvolution 1.0.2-5mdk Registered Linux User #268899 http://counter.li.org/ °°° Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] DHCP client problems
I've been using Mandrake 8.1 quite happily for some months with a fixed local (192.168.123.x) IP address on a home network. I'm connected to the internet via a dedicated firewall/router attached to my ATT Broadband cable modem. Unfortunately, ATT just switched from DNS servers with fixed IP addresses to ones with dynamic IP addresses, so I have to switch my linux box to use DHCP, so that it gets the right addresses for the name servers, and I'm having major problems. I used the Connection panel under Network Internet in the Mandrake Control Center to switch to using DHCP. However, once I do that, lots of programs start complaining that they can't find the IP address corresponding to my host name, aclinux: 1. when I boot the computer, it no longer boots to the graphical login screen, but instead gives me the text login. When I log in and check the syslog, I see messages like: Nov 9 01:40:44 aclinux gdm[1909]: gdm_auth_secure_display: Error getting hentry for aclinux ... gdm[1897]: Failed to start the display server several times in a short time period; disabling display :0 2. If I log in in text mode and then type startx, X and Gnome start, but Gnome prints another warning about not being able to find the host IP, and how it won't work properly without it. 3. proftpd gives a message: proftpd: aclinux - Fatal: unable to determine IP address of `aclinux` and dies, so now I have internet access, but no ftp access My Windows 98 machine on the same network has no problem resolving aclinux to the DHCP-assigned address. I can find the DHCP-assigned IP address for my linux box manually by looking in the /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.leases file. I suppose I could write a script to modify /etc/hosts on startup, (though I don't know where to put that script to ensure that it runs before the login or proftpd startup) but it seems like there must be a standard way to do this.

Re: [newbie] DHCP trouble with Comcast.net
Steve, I'm NOT using a separate firewall, but it sounds like you have a bad DHCP configuration, and you could run into this problem whether you have a firewall or just a single machine. 1. Make sure that /etc/resolv.conf contains the IP addresses of the Comcast DNS servers in your area AND make sure that the search domain correctly reflects the new network information if you know it because you have either gotten it from a machine that works or from someone in your area who knows what it is. Mine looks like: nameserver 68.46.144.5 nameserver 68.46.144.6 search brlngt01.nj.comcast.net 2. Your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/net_resolv.default should contain the same information that the resolv.conf file does. 3. Your initial /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 should look like the following: DEVICE=eth0 DHCP_HOSTNAME=whatever your's is BOOTPROTO=dhcp IPADDR= NETMASK= NETWORK= BROADCAST= ONBOOT=yes After DHCP passes the parameters, the blanks should be filled in with the correct information. 4. If you haven't turned your cable modem off since the conversion, you should do so, so that will clear any cached information out of its memory. Hope this helps.

[newbie] DHCP client
Hi, From a brand new newbie to Mandrake. Previously used Caldera. Have a Microsoft network neighborhood at home with half dozen computers and an old Pentium 233 box running win98 and Sygate Home Network as a gateway with a cable modem. Goal to replace that gateway with a linux box eventually. But for now I am in a Linux network class and I am trying get a Mandrake Linux box to work as a client on the existing network. Configured the network card with draknet in Xwindows. Set it up with no IP or mask and the DHCP box checked. Gave it the gateway address of 192.168.0.1 where the Sygate resides. Sygate provides a DHCP server at that address. It all ends up with eth0 running but it never gets an IP address assigned to it. However, when the dhcpcd starts up it gets valid information from Sygate which appears in /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.info Some how something is missing because this info never shows up in the Linux routing tableor in the info provided by ifconfig -a for eth0 and thus there in no network access. If I configurewith astatic IP address such as 192.168.0.33 I haveInternet access and can browse the web. What is missing?? Regards Paul
RE: [newbie] DHCP client
Paul, Try not giving it a gateway address. If you give it a gateway, it will assume that all the other ethernet configuration is supplied, such as the IP and subnet. But if nothing is filled in, it will take the user supplied information (nothing) over the server supplied information (correct IP, subnet, dns, etc). If you choose DHCP, do not give it any other information. The box will send out a general DHCP get request and if the Sygate server is the only server that is listening to those requests, then it will send a reply with the supplied information (IP, Subnet, Gateway, DNS, etc.).

[newbie] DHCP and 8.1
I installed 8.1 a couple days ago, and it has a major advantage over 7.2 (what I've been using since it came out) - I finally have sound. And, a nice little bonus, it looks great! One problem, however, and a rather major one at that. As with every version released after 7.2, from the 8.0 betas on, I haven't been able to get online. Now, I have a cable modem, using Optimum Online (Cablevision), I use DHCP, which always tells me it couldn't find an IP # when I boot into 8.1. I have a 3com 3c900B-TPO nic card, which uses the 3c59x kernel module. 8.1 detected it just fine, and uses the correct module, so I know thats not the problem. With 7.2, when I installed that (each and every time), it asked me what my host name is, and what my proxy setting are; both boxes I leave blank, and it works like a charm, every time. With 8.1, I tried it like that, and I also tried putting in what I believe is my host name, dyn.optonline.net. All that accomplished was having my terminal showing a prompt that said [rog@dyn rog] I didn't do anything with the proxy settings, as I don't believe I have any. Oh, and in the past, I figured out my (then) current IP # (it only changes on me once a week or so), and tried to set my box up like a static IP, but that didn't work either. So there you have it. Can anyone help? I really want to get 8.1 happening, as I have realized how much I miss being able to play my ogg files and CDs...Any more info needed, just ask - I'm willing to do pretty much whatever I have to to get it happening this time... peace, Rog Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

If you've done a clean install of 7.2 you really don't need to do this. Go into Linuxconf and enable DHCP in the Networking screen that configures the INTERFACE...

Use 'locate dhcpcd', and you should find it in /sbin (along with several other hits, but the actual executable is in the above directory). If it is not installed, just install it, then re-run the network configurator in Mandrake's Control Center. If it is installed, then try disabling dhcp and giving yourself a static IP. Can you reach the network after that? If not, then your problem is somewhere else. If yes, then you might have a dhcp problem. Just some troubleshooting tips, hope they help.

Depending on your location, you'll find that the following may or may not apply for roadrunner: 1) they use the MAC address in the negotiation. So if you used a Windows machine with a network card, you will have to use the same network card in your Linux box. 2) they sometimes assign you a hostname and that hostname/MAC address combo is used to authenticate who you are. If you had to enter a hostname for Windows, you will have to assign that same hostname to your Linux box. I'd assume that you would have already done this, so it probably does not apply to you.

RE: [newbie] DHCP Server
Getting Linux to "share" your single internet connection is very simple under 7.2. There is a GUI interface to set this all up for you. In 7.1 you need to do all the work yourself. 1) Edit your /etc/rc.local file Make sure it includes the following lines: # #CRITICAL: Enable IP forwarding since it is disabled by default since # #Redhat Users: you may try changing the options in /etc/sysconfig/network from: # # FORWARD_IPV4=false # to # FORWARD_IPV4=true # echo "1" /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward # # Load up MASQ support # /sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp /sbin/modprobe ip_masq_quake /sbin/modprobe ip_masq_raudio # The above three are more than enough. # Though you might want to enable other MASQ modules as well # /sbin/ipchains -P forward DENY /sbin/ipchains -A forward -s 10.0.0.0/8 -j MASQ -d 0.0.0.0/0 # This assumes that you have an existing working internet connection of some sort -AND- another ethernet interface connected to your internet "private" network. In the above case my private network is using the reserved IP address range of 10.0.0.1 thru 10.254.254.254, far more than most people need! My ethernet card on my internet connected linux box, that will be used to talk to the "other" machines is at 10.0.0.1 (though any address will work). Since I'm using a few Winblows machines: They all have their default gateway address pointing to 10.0.0.1 They all have reserved IP addresses for their Ethernet cards starting with Machine One: Eternet 10.0.0.10 Sub-Netmask 255.0.0.0 Machine Two: Eternet 10.0.0.11 Sub-Netmask 255.0.0.0 etc. They DNS entries all point to the DNS server at my ISP (though you could set up your own to get much faster responses!) And each machine has a unique name. Remember: (Normally, unless you REALLY know what you are doing) you should have two connections on your Linux box, one to the internet. The Internet Connection may be thru dialup (using PPP), a Cable Modem or DSL (normally using a seperate ethernet card, configured as eth0), etc. The "local" connection is seperate (in this case eth1), configured by me manually as the second connection. Normally the first connection gets automatically configured for you by your DSL or Cable provider using a DHCP -CLIENT- on your machine. If you can surf the internet you already have this set up! That's about it. The above configuration is considered a bit "open" since there are almost no restrictions on what services Linux "provides" to the internet. After you have things up and running, you can deal with cutting down the services Linux provides to the internet and thereby increase security. -JMS -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Dan Belkie Sent: Tuesday, January 16, 2001 6:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] DHCP Server Does anyone know of any good docs for a DHCP server setup?

Re: [newbie] dhcp
i have a Linsys DSL router. I use it as a DHCP server. It was propery set up before i installed the Linux. It's working just fine after installation. If you have a software DHCP or Proxy server, you better have another computer to host your Local Network. The server should have all information about your Remote ISP provider. All you have to know is the IP address of your DHCP or Proxy server. NIC card may have conflict with your sound card, so check it out at Hardrake or whatever.

[newbie] DHCP
Hi ! I have Road Runner at home but am not able to configure it. My Network Adapter is working. In order to configure DHCP, the only thing I did is enabling the DHCP option when I installed mandrake 7.1. I guess that is not enough to make Road Runner work (Indeed it doesn't...) I went through the DHCP mini-how-to but it is not updated enough and doesn't deal with the Mandrake 7.1 configuration. There is no way to find a complete documentation on how to do it under Mandrake 7.1... And as I am a pure newbie (I've been using Linux for only 2 weeks...), I really do not know what to do. Moreover, I don't really understand the Networking jargon... Then it would be really great if someone could guide me step-by-step through the process of making DHCP work under Mandrake... Sorry about that... I am just desperate and I still absolutely do not want to go back to the Microsoft world... Thanks a lot for your understanding and help! Nicolas

Another good floppy based Router/Firewall/dhcp/dhclient linux server is the Linux Router Project. It can be run on one floppy or depending on other services you want to run multiple floppies. I have been running the EigerStien2BETA image and has proven to be very stable and no fuss. There are other LRP images available if the word beta scares you. It and other LRP images can be found at lrp.c0wz.com and lrp.steinkuehler.net . I have mine setup to run DHCP, dhclient, dnscache, ipchains and portsentry.

I set my DLink router up with DHCP on the WAN side and boom it worked just fine. It did not suprise me since my NT box and Linux box had been setup for DHCP directly attached to the DSL modem. So, the short of it: I am connecting to DSL (and have been for nearly 8 months) without PPPoE. The only thing I can glean from my experience and those reported here is that DSL can be configured multiple ways depending upon the provider.

Only the automatic install configures the network card for you. If the network card was not configured you need to load a dhcp client as that was not loaded either. When you boot do you get any error messages during the Mandrake startup when starting device eth0? What does HardDrake say you have for a network card? What DO you have for a network card?? Heck, what version of Mandrake are you using?? Have you successfully used the DSL modem with anything else (like Windows)?? If so what configuration did you use (DHCP, static config,etc)?? Does you DSL use PPPoE or straight DHCP (the Windows config can tell alot)??

Re: [newbie] DHCP
I know for a fact that the Mandrake install does not install the DHCP client software. So most likely need to install dhcpcd (note the second c as dhcpd is the actual dhcp server). If you installed the network during the install of Mandrake you might want to uninstall the dhcpcd and re-install it anyway. I never set up the network during the install of NT Workstation and I don't do it in Linux either. Just never seems to work right when you do that. Then run 'netcfg' and configure your NIC.

Thanks Dave have you tried a insmod 3c509 ?? does not look like the mod for the nic is loaded (hence the no eth0 in ifconfig) after you try the insmod (and get no errors ) try a modprobe 3c509 and then a ifconfig if you then see a eth0 ... BINGO you can go into linuxconf and edit eth0 to use the 3c509 modual and dhcp protocol. after you save and exit linuxconf try ifconfig again you should see eth0, if no do a ifup eth0 Regards, ROn
Re: [RE: [newbie] DHCP...]
There seems to be confusion about the chipset. Since there is both a 3C509, and a 3C905...I suggest pulling the card after POWER OFFand reading the chipset off of the card...to make sure you are trying the correct Driver.
