[newbie] Internet access cut off after changing security settings with MSEC
I was playing with different security settings in MSEC (the mandrake security settings gui in drak-config), and after returning to the Standard setting, I was no longer able to connect to the Internet. I can still access my home network, but cannot move outside of the home network onto the internet. When trying to get onto a website, I get a Timeout on server, Connection was to www.example.com at port 80. I cannot SSH onto other boxes, either... but I CAN ping other boxes. This problem surfaced only after the computer was rebooted prior to playing in MSEC. Any suggestions? Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [newbie] Internet access setup questions
i would consider all your macines to be at risk without a firewall on the 'ics' box, i would recommend what i use in a similar setup which is mandrake single network firewall (snf) but i admit i'm used to cable modems which are simple ethernet setups, i don't know about dsl modems so i can't say for sure that it is easy to setup, there are limitations to snf, netmeeting on windows for onething has problems since it uses dynamically assigned ports, there are other firewalls like 'smoothwall', and of course there must be windows products, there is no point relying on zonealarm on individual boxes when you have a local gateway that could do the job better, plus you could then set up sharing between boxes on the lan without exposing yourself to the net, right now if you allowed windows sharing between boxes you expose yourself beyond your network this is of course, just mho bascule On Friday 23 Nov 2001 3:33 am, you wrote: Hello everyone.

Re: [newbie] Internet access setup questions
David, 1. You might want to ask this on the expert list. 2. My home network is very similar to yours, coax instead of hub, dial up instead of DSL, and a Dos box running IPROUTE instead of Windows with ICS. I don't know exactly what ICS does, but IPROUTE ($50 shareware from, darn, can't remember his name -- I can post a link if anyone is interested) is a NAT type system. I run it without a firewall and it seems to be very secure -- whenever I check it at one of those port scanner sites it comes back saying it can't find any ports or they are all stealth. So, if Windows ICS is a NAT type thingy, a firewall might not be required. (Of course, without knowing for sure, one might say a firewall can't hurt.) IIUC, a NAT type system is very resistant to external attacks. When one of your local computers goes out to a web site, the NAT device keeps track of the IP you are trying to get to, and only allows stuff from that IP back into your network. (It also keeps track of which of your local computers asked for that information, so it is sent back to the correct local computer.) I understand I might have some difficulty if I tried to run a VPN throught the NAT device, and we have had trouble with games -- computers on my network cannot easily serve as servers for Internet games, but can connect to other servers to play games.

In my case, using an 8 port hub, I have 5 system using DHCP through a Win98 system. When using this type of configuration you DO NEED a firewall on each connected system. Blocking all internet traffic on the Host system will not prevent access to or by the systems connected to it. Think of your DSL modem as an entrnaceway. In this entranceway you have 4 doors. Even if you lock the P133 door, entrance can still be gained through the other 3 doors unless they also are locked. Personally on my systems on those running Windows, either full are parttime, I use either ZoneAlarm or Sygate and in Linux Tiny FireWall. Charles Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Internet access/insmod problems
[newbie] Internet access failure
It's been a couple of months since I used Linux, but when I did, I had no trouble getting out on the Internet. Now, when I try I first get some error message about a kppp.pid file, and then, although the logging on process seems to work as it should, I apparently do not get connected to the Internet. The modem beeps the way it used to, and the little window tells me that it is connecting me to the Internet, but when it is finished I can't get to anywhere in the browser. It tells me that every address is unknown. I also cannot ping anything. When I give the command ping I don't even get the prompt back. I guess it just keeps on trying to ping. I have checked the "kppp configuration" settings, and they are correct -- they are the same they were a couple of months ago, when everything worked just fine. I thought that perhaps the DNS settings were wrong (what do I know? Gotta try something), but they were also correct. I can't figure this out. Does anybody have any suggestions? I am grateful for all help. DRX

You mentioned that your MS Proxy was running Socks. Are routing services turned off? Could you route to the Linux box? I.E.

Re:DNS Socks clients will normally rely on the Socks host to handle resolution requests, either directly or by forwarding them on up to a full DNS. It's no surprize that Linux cannot resolve since it is not able to talk to the Socks host.

Re: [newbie] INTERNET ACCESS
To my knowledge all internal LT modems are winmodems. Anyway my USR 33.6 worked sweet back in the 33.6 days, then I had it flash upgraded to a 56K V.90 and it to works sweet. I get a speed of 49333 on Windows and 52666 on Mandrake.never slower on both.or faster for that matter. Mark Drake wrote: I have a Gateway Essentials 366 which has a 366MHZ AMD K6-2 processor. The current modem installed is a Lucent Technologies 56K Fax-Modem installed in a PCI slot. My research says that this is a form of "winmodem". Is this true? Are all modems that plug into a PCI slot a form of "winmodem"? If so, can you recommend some external serial modems that would enable me to get internet connectivity? Thank you for your assistance.
