Al contrario se vuoi solo usare risorse condivise da win$, samba (server) non ti serve, ti basterà sambaclient per montare i dischi agganciandoli al tuo FS. ti consiglio la lettura di uno dei tanti howto-tutorial su samba. Se vuoi condividere la connessione ad internet invece, la tua macchina dovrà comportarsi da router, devi quindi abilitare il passaggio dei pacchetti dall'interfaccia del modem (in genere pppn) a quella/e di rete (ethn). la cosa è semplice, basta inserire in uno script di avvio (es /etc/rc.local) echo 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward In questo modi i pacchetti transiteranno tra le interfacce, senza nessun tipo di controllo/filtraggio (cioè sei in qualche modo 'vulnerabile' dall'esterno) la cosa si aggrava un pelino, considerando cha a questo punto non avrai solo una macchina su internet, ma 'n'. Proprio per questo, in genere, al forward nudo, si abbina un filtraggio dei pacchetti (in pratica realizzi un firewall software, che si appoggia ad alcune prerogative del kernel Linux) e un 'mascheramento' della connessione (cioè, da internet, la lan che risiede dietro il router viene vista con un solo IP, quello assegnato cioè all'interfaccia pppn della linuxbox) Chiaramente ogni macchina potrà aprire connessioni verso l'esterno, navigare e scaricare posta e dati come se fosse fisicamente connessa al modem (banda permettendo). Esiste cioè (nel mascheramento) un sistema di controlllo dello stato delle connessioni che tiene traccia di quale macchina abbia aperto il socket, per consentire la connessione trasperente agli utenti. per mascherare una connessione, senza adentrarsi troppo nella scrittura di semplici regole di firewalling è sufficiente inserire (a questo punto in uno script a parte, da lanciare quando serve) iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT (accetta il passaggio dei pacchetti in transito tra le interfacce) iptables -A FORWARD -i pppn -m state --state NEW,INVALID -j REJECT (rifiuta i pachetti che tentano di aprire connessioni da pppn 'internet' verso la nostra macchina/rete, ricorda che è possibile invece il contrario, cioè aprire connessioni) iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o pppn -j MASQUERADE (questo è il mascheramento vero e proprio, cioè i pacchetti sulla catena postrouting in uscita su pppn, vengono mascherati, indipendentemente quindi dall'IP sorgente, verranno visti come prodotti dall'IP della pppn Quanto sopra è solo un inizio, necessari netfilter-howto masquerading-howto e qualcosa su routing e protocolli di rete (tcp, stato di una connessione, almeno le basi) qualcuno puo' dirmi come fare (magari specificandomi quali protocolli servono su winzozz per far fungere il tutto e quali impostazioni dare)? su win$ basta il nudo tcp/ip un indirizzo fisso (qualsiasi classe andrà bene, sei mascherato, meglio comunque una riservata, in modo che nessun router possa mai mandarti pacchetti che per 'caso' abbiano un ip congruente con uno dei tuoi, questo è uno dei controlli di sanità ulteriori, che puoi aggiungere al firewalll) diciamo che 192.168.x.x o 10.x.x.x andranno benone dovrai impostare l'IP interno (su ethn della macchina router GNU/Linux, come dafault gatewai sule macchine win$ null'altro *** oppure *** Messaggio firmato da Michele Asciutti (miKe) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Alle 19:07, mercoledì 16 ottobre 2002, paolo brusasco ha scritto: ciao a tutti. ho installato firestarter (0.8.2) su e da mdk 8.2download. uso internet per semplice navigazione e posta domestica, connesso via modem. non mi è chiaro quali porte devo lasciare aperte e per chi. leggi il netfilter howto spiega come configurare un firewall generico in generale comunque, non essendo un server, la tua macchina deve chiudre TUTTE le porte verso l'esterno, a meno di avere instaurato LEI una connessione, sono 3 linee di iptables... ** Administrator@mdk:~$ cat /etc/rc.d/firewall #!/bin/sh echo Attivazione Firewall... chain=DROP # policy predefinita

[newbie] Crystal Sound not working in 9.0 ?

I was used, to make it working, to add the following line to /etc/modules.conf: alias sound-slot-1 cs4232 I added it, with no luck. Using sndConfig from a CTRL-ALT-F1 term, takes a long time to detect the card but, after, is unable to play any sound. Using KDE, I continue to have warnings saying that the sound is suspended. I also had messages telling me that /dev/dsp was busy and that it was going to use /dev/null. Anyone experienced the same problem? Thanks a lot indeed.

[newbie] Mandrake's Multi-Network Firewall (MNF)
Has anyone tried Mandrake's new firewall MNF? Have you had any luck getting it to work? Along with 5 or 6 of my peers, I've tried 7 installs, with absolutely no success whatsoever. The install works, but it won't ping anything (although the command exists on the system), SSH has applied RSA keys which prevent anyone from logging in that way, and although httpd-naat is up and running, either I can't get the login page to come up, or if it does (depending on which install I did), it returns an error about not finding cookies. All in all, a very disappointing experience! This should not require a degree in Rocket Science to get into the initial login screen. The system is an Athlon 800 with 512 Mb of ram, and 3 supported network cards. There are NO IRQ conflicts at all. ifconfig is returning the proper info about the NIC's. Even after I shutdown iptables and Shorewall, I still don't get a single thing from the system, except green lights on the NIC's and my hub. This exact same system handled 3 or 4 8.2 Prosuite installs without a hitch, including the three NIC's. My friends have tried their own installs and received other errors for their troubles. One of them got an error that there was no O/S installed on the hard drive immediately after the install! Any ideas? -- Lanman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Thanks for giving it a shot though Marc Marc I'm very late coming in on this. There was some major discussion way back in the days of 8.2 being developed on Western Digital drives.

It boots to first splash screen off either drive or floppy bootdisk without hesitation, but crashes at about 80% of the progress bar when I try to start the install process regardless of what parameters I append (noapic etc). However, 8.2 download and propak versions install without problems. Go figure!! I'll stick with 8.2 for the time being!! Cheers John One last piece of input here, Linux Journal had an inquiry about the install stall, and the guru answer was that DMA setting for the hard drive should be checked in bios, an incorrect setting can cause the install hang in any distro. For what it is worth. Maybe the CDROM is set wrong for DMA also? Somebody elses $.02. : ) Dennis M.
RE: [newbie] Mandrake's Multi-Network Firewall (MNF)
OK, First update. Includes rules to live by! Rules; 1) Make sure you have 3 network cards installed. 2) Connect network card #1 (a.k.a. eth0) to your internet connection. If your going thru a hub or switch that's fine, but you can also configure the firewall to connect directly to the Internet. Actually, that's what it's designed for. 2) Connect network card #2 (a.k.a. eth1) to your internal network. 3) Connect network card #3 (a.k.a. eth2) to your secondary internal network if you have one. If not, consider using this connection for any services that you would like to have publicly available. In other words, this connection can be connected to a server running Apache, Proftpd, Bind, etc., and can be classified as your DMZ , or De-Militarized Zone. Network card #3 - eth2 can also be used for another subnet ie; 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0, which opens up a world of possibilities. Restricted users can be placed on the second subnet, and security can be cranked up, while leaving the first subnet relatively un-restricted. Kinda handy for sysadmins and their staff, while locking down all those nasty users! Grin! Grin! (I'm sorry, but you aren't able to download MP3's because of the default firewall rules. No, Really!

Now, in what order should I install these? Is there any special syntax or would a rpm -ivh nameofthepackage.rpm do? Last but not least, I have OpenOffice 1 installed and running on my computer (Mandrake 9). Is the installation of the related StarOffice going to cause me any problems, or can they both run side by side without any problems. And I suppose that any StarOffice installation has to be done as root right? Thanks for your help. I don't have access to any Mandrake CDs and my connection being slow, crashing my system would be a major problem so I rather be just a little paranoid and ask for your advice. Many thanks! Andrei I would do it thus, put them all in one file folder in your /home directory called star or something like that. then from a console do su and root password and then type cd /star and at the next prompt type urpmi *.rpm and it will install all three or list unresolved dependencies.

I think possibly ,
while attempting to activate a partition on the
second drive. This was being done in the course of installing the
full turnkeylinuxaudio tarball.
is the clue here.
Although you have two harddrives, the system looks on them both as one,
and as such you can only have one Active partition.It seems to me
that you have effectively altered the active partition while
attempting to install the abovementioned package.This has the effect
of making the partition table corrupt.
If I am right what you have to do is remake the old partition active
The question is how.
First try M cd1 disc and at the splash screen hit f1 which
has the effect of running you to a terminal, and from there
choose rescue and see whether you can get to fdisk, and
then use that to remake the original partition active, or just
wipe everything out and start again.
An alternative, if you have an old w98 boot disc run it
to the A prompt and type fdisk and use it to remake the
active partition, you have to cancel the current active
partition first.
I'm not absolutely cetain about this so proceed with caution
but maybe you don't have that much to loose.
John
Thanks to all who replied. I tried a Windows rescue disk which allowed
me to boot to the A prompt but fdisk didn't seem to work properly.
Fortunately I have Partition Magic which I booted from floppy. It let
me see and delete all partitions. I then set up a new Linux partition
and was able to get the MDK9 CD1 to boot. Now I have the system again.
I suspect the problem was compounded by what I suspect is the
supermount problem. The CDRom would only spin up partially and perhaps
I would have been able to do a reinstall much earlier if it had been
working properly. I replaced it with a spare for the successful
reinstall although the spare has begun to behave in the same way.
I'll have to consult the various threads on the Supermount problem
now.
Again, many thanks for your help folks.
Dennis Reynolds
Afterwards I thought about the dos fdisk option, and realised I
shouldn't of advised
you down that path as fdisk doesn't officially recognise linux
partition, though
it know's it is there and although I know a way to get it to delete them
it really
is a trial.
But Parttion Magic is ideal.Glad to know you are back in
