Re: [SLUG] Cheap 3G mobile internet broadband plans ... what they don't have!
I just setup one for a customer on telstra: They all have a private 10.x.x.x address so you can browse OUT using masq but getting BACK to your box is an issue. I resolved that by establishing a VPN to a known server. In the end performance (perth) was so dismal that he gave up. Data transfer was from nearly 400KB / sec down to 10KB and changed on a second to second basis. His app was data-collection for dynamic structure analysis. (B is bytes, not bits) But there would seem to be no point in *any* port blocking in this picture. I found none. James FWIW the ip i get is ... 115.128.41.59 so a dynamic public address. So a better deal than Telstra ??? Are people getting these to work on Redhat/Centos ? I will try again on Centos ... Tried this link already on Centos . but failed http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/ This helped on Debian http://www.review-ninja.com/2009/05/huawei-e160-and-ubuntu-e160-linux-howto.html No virus found in this outgoing message.

[SLUG] Cheap 3G mobile internet broadband plans ... what they don't have!
Hi all How much better are the more expensive 3G plans over the cheaper plans? I have just tried out a 3G broadband dongle on linux Model : E160 I tried to get it to work on Centos 5.3 but failed. couldn't get usb_modeswitch to give a /dev/USB0 . However tried on Debians LENNY and was it was trivial to get online using the E160. (just needed the dial string) I tried the 1Gig residential plan found it wanting. The dialup PPP connection ONLY allows 4 incoming ports it seems. Among other Apps, I would like to remotely connect via SSH. Do the higher priced plans have less retrictions ? Do the higher priced plans support SSH? I found only 4 ports open. as below . r...@debian:~# netstat -an | grep LISTEN tcp0 0 0.0.0.0:34376 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp0 0 0.0.0.0:111 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp0 0 127.0.0.1:631 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp0 0 127.0.0.1:250.0.0.0:* LISTEN TIA for any comments Roger No virus found in this outgoing message.

[SLUG] SLUG] Iptables / proxy server madness
I would suggest put DNS by hand (not automatic detection) on client machine. Any IP DNS should do. EG Try Telstra's primary.61.9.192.14 Try Telstra's secondary.61.9.192.15 Cheers Roger Sluggers, I'm hoping that someone can shed some light on this problem, otherwise I must be going mad. I have two linux boxen, one of which is an internet gateway masquerading for the other using iptables. When I try to access a web site using Mozilla from the masqueraded box it fails miserably waiting forever for the reply packets. However, if I telnet to port 80 of the site I get an immediate response. I can also ssh out to other servers on the net no problems. Now before you jump to any conclusions, the advanced proxy settings in Mozilla are set to direct connection to the internet. Now things get really weird. If I run squid on the gateway and use an iptables redirect of 80 to 3128 (Rob's comments about transparent proxying not withstanding) then Mozilla is happy as Larry. ??? Ok what gives am I a) going mad b) being suckered by some hidden mozilla (drive pete crazy) option selected. c) something else I don't know about I.e Internet bug #23876412282? Cluesticks?

Hi all
Firstly is Masquerding compatible with DHCPD ??
I am running a home network that works fine with static IP's .
When I install dhcpd for dynamic IP's it works fine except for
connecting to the NET.
On the linux client if you ping the outside world an error Network is
unreachable.
There are no errors in /var/log/messages with the failed internet attempt.
I have disabled the firewall on the gateway with no difference.
All client machines are affected
The client machines I have tried are : Redhat, win98, win2000, winXP
but I still can't connect to the NET. (static IP's can OK)
My Gateway is connected via Bigpond ADSL via an old alcatel speed
touch home modem and also serves DHCPd, THe IP is 10.0.0.1 ,
My Gateway runs updated RedHat 9. ... networking: PPPOE,
iptables , snort, acid . etc
Theres probably some setting somewhere I wish i knew.
TIA

It's my opinion that this isn't significant in your setup. You might want to add S2=255 to your modem init string if it's not there already. Some (dodgy) modems do not honour the 0.5 second guard time gap to the +++ escape sequence, thus anytime three plusses occur in the outbound data stream the modem might flip into command mode and shortly after disconnection occurs due to LCP timeouts. The S2=255 setting usually disabled the escape sequence such that it will only go into command mode when the carrier drops or the DTR signal is dropped. It would also help if you turned on the PPP debug option, the level of logging shown isn't enough for us to really see what's going on. Another possibility is either an inactivity timeout or a firewall rejecting possible heartbeat signals. Try turning on the LCP keepalive (from memory) option. Or failing that... a simple script like so #!/bin/sh while [ 0 ]; do ping -c 100 -w 1 -i 60 www.yourispdomain.com.au done That'll ping 100 times, wait up to a second for the response, do this every 60 seconds then repeat indefinitely. Thus producing *some* traffic defeating idle timeouts. On Fri, 31 Oct 2003, Roger Salisbury wrote: Hi sluggers Someone may had the very same modem problem listed below.

I nearly always get cutoff within 15 minutes, although the longest is about 35 minutes.
