[SLUG] Getting to my app
I'm running Debian Woody, and am trying to access an application which is listening on a TCP/IP socket. The app is just a small http server, and I'm using a web browser to access it. I know the app is listening on the expected port, because if I connect using a browser on the same machine that the server is running on, everything works fine. If I try to get to the same app from a different machine, though, I get "the connection was refused". If I run tcpdump on the server I see that using the browser on the local machine to access the service generates 11 packets over the expected port (via lo). The remote access generates only two packets (via eth0), one coming in with the the request, and the other (i guess) saying "the connection was refused". If I ask iptables what filtering is active, is tells me that everything is accepted. I've checked the nat filter and mangle tables. Clearly I'm missing something dead simple here. I have read the HOWTO for iptables and for IP in general, but I'm just not seeing the solution. Any hints, tips (or complete answers :-)) would be most appreciated. Thanks. BTW, here is the output from the tcpdump showing the bouncing request. Here is the tcpdump of the wally:~# tcpdump port 10045 tcpdump: listening on eth0 18:31:17.162927 alice.set.badgerse.com.53433 > wally.set.badgerse.com.10045: S 1628653908:1628653908(0) win 5840 (DF) 18:31:17.163010 wally.set.badgerse.com.10045 > alice.set.badgerse.com.53433: R 0:0(0) ack 1628653909 win 0 (DF) 2 packets received by filter 0 packets dropped by kernel -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

It would be helpful to know what web server you are running. Cheers AW. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

[SLUG] hi
hi all, I am planning to buy a cisco 827-4V for home to learn. I have a problem in that, the cisco 827-4V only supports 1 Ethernet and one adsl interface. The problem is I have a cable connection which relies on a dhcp server, so I need ethernet for the cable connection. Which only leaves me with the adsl port to play around with. Is there anything on linux I can interface the cisco 827-4v to the Linux gateway machine, by the ADSL port? Is this do-able? Any help is appreciated.

Re: [SLUG] hi
Buying that router to learn on doesn't sound like a great idea to me. If you plug the cable connection into the ethernet how are you going to route? The ADSL interface probably won't work in the way you expect. If you want to learn Cisco there are router sims and cheap 2nd hand modular routers like the 1720 around that will be more flexible. Your best bet however for ADSL to work something like you expect is the Roaring penguin PPPoE does have some sort of Access concentrator mode. I have no idea how/if it works tho, I just read it exists. dave On Sun, 2003-02-16 at 23:30, Dinesh wrote: > hi all, > > I am planning to buy a cisco 827-4V for home to learn.

Re: [SLUG] hi
not really. The other side of an ADSL network is a piece of equipement using a twisted pair to send ATM frame on top of an ADSL type of signal (24 ? (not sure anymmore) channels, there is a negociation between the 2 peers, blah blah blah, ). The most easy 'd be to by a cisco with 2 ethernet interfaces if you want to play around. Have a look on ebay. For the price of a new 8xx, i bet you can find a 2500 (well i dont think they exist with 2 ethernet though) or 2600 for playing. Another possibilty is to buy 2 old 2500 with 1 ethernet et 1 serial and crossover connect the 2 serial (with one DTE and one DCE cable). This is how most of people lurned and it'll allow you to play around with more signaling like Frame relay or eventually X25. Old cisco hardware is not that expensive even if it seems to have quite some success on ebay.

[SLUG] USB Printing
We have an Epson Stylus Color 1160 printer that we'd like to make available from the server (RH7.2 with SAMBA). It's already running a laser printer, and has no other parallel port available. So it seems the only option is to install a USB card and configure the printer using that. Does anyone know of any possible issues with this approach?

This is something I've tried and completely failed to get to work! From my reading it seemed to require a Win2K server for the IPP server. Care to share how you managed it ? Nope, CUPS can talk IPP. Basically for whichever printer you want to make available over IPP, you need to create a raw version of it. Printer configuration is easily duplicated if you are using foomatic, otherwise just create it manually. Lets say you copy the printer 'epson' to 'epson-raw'. The only change to this raw printer is the Driver. Select 'Raw' then 'Raw Queue (en)'. You then need to edit cupsd.conf and look for the tags. By default, there are only restrictions on "/" and "/admin". You can either add an "Allow From" line to the tag, or simply uncomment the section and add an Allow From line in there. You can even ask for authentication for using a particular printer or all printers (read CUPS documentation on this) Once this is all done, it should be ready to go. Try adding a printer from Windows with the URL http://x.x.x.x:631/printers/epson-raw (changing x.x.x.x and epson-raw to the IP of the CUPS server and printer name, respectively) HTH.

So for this readonly list I do that and delete mention of posting to the list (also edit the web pages the same). And using the individual "mod" flags as described in: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.011.htp Seems to work fine now (but now I won't be able to automatically do mailman updates using apt-get, hopefully there won't be any security notices about mailman).

All existing SLUG memberships expire before the AGM. A full year of SLUG membership costs $25. This can be paid at any time from now until the AGM to the SLUG Treasurer, Jamie Wilkinson. (You can pay after the AGM too, for that matter, to the new treasurer, but you obviously will have missed voting.)

Informal responsibilities include steering SLUG, and representing SLUG to the public and media. - Vice-president: The president's right-hand, left-hand, and other limbs as appropriate. - Secretary: Takes minutes at committee meetings, handles correspondence. - Treasurer: handles SLUG finances. The SLUG treasurer will need to be organised and capable of keeping correct records of income and expenditure. - Ordinary committee members: There are three ordinary committee members. Nominations are now open and will close just before the election itself. Nominations should be sent to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list. Nominations need to be seconded, which should also happen on [EMAIL PROTECTED] You should check with the nominee first to make sure they actually want to stand for election. 2002 committee: The 2002 committee, whose glorious reign ends at the AGM, is: - President: Jeff Waugh - Vice president: Craige McWhirter - Secretary: Peter Hardy - Treasurer: Jamie Wilkinson - Ordinary members: Tony Green, Jan Schmidt, Mary Gardiner Proxies: If you cannot attend the March meeting, you can appoint a proxy to vote on your behalf (the proxy can also vote on their own behalf). Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] and tell them the name of the person who holds your proxy vote. Make sure you've paid for your 2003 membership if you do this! If you don't know anyone who can proxy for you, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the names of the nominees you wish to vote for, and a 2002 committee member will be your proxy. -Mary msg30297/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

[SLUG] MS Game Voice
Hi All, I was wondering if anyone has information on how to get the gamevoice working, or rather the best way to get it working. I have found a software package called teamspeak which looks like it will do the trick, however it is only compatible with itself, so everyone wanting to chat can only use Teamspeak. I would be interested in finding a solution which uses the msn network so that I can chat with other people who are using the MS version. If I am forced to use the teamspeak software and try and convice my friends to swap over, then is there a way to get voice recognition working like the MS version so that voice commands will change weapons in UT etc?? Any hints or advice would be appreciated Cheers Adam. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

RE: [SLUG] dsl and networking.
Hi Ken, Is this workable solution with voice? If so it looks great, I can put a 3nics on linux. Wanted to know if there are any restrictions on the cisco 827-4v, as the adsl interface is the one which is supposed to be the default out(to internet). In this case there will be another network between the router and Link eth0. Anand also suggested something close to this(like putting a switch), but I don't want to buy and see that it doesn't work. regards, Dinesh. -Original Message- From: Ken Foskey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 17, 2003 12:09 PM To: slug Subject: Re: [SLUG] dsl and networking.
