[SLE] Masquerading Causing Hair Loss
by jperser＠airmail.net 20 Oct '99

20 Oct '99

Thanks to all those that helped. I'm up and running now. My problem was the IP being specified in the MSQ setup. I was using 192.168.0.0/24 and changing to 192.168.1.0/24 did the trick. Changing the MSQ_DEV from eth0 to ppp0 didn't seem to make any difference. I also had to put the following in my boot.local ipchains -P forward DENY ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 0.0.0.0/0 It was a little frustrating that it took so long to get this working when the steps were so simple. A little 5 Minute Masquerding HowTo on the SuSE site would be useful since I think this is something the majority of people who use Linux want to do. I'm glad that SuSE put the MSQ symbols in the configuration file, it does make it easier once you understand what needs to be done. Again thanks to the great mailing list. Now on to try my Windows98 and Win2K clients, then firewalling! BTW: is there any real reason to run Squid if I only have a couple of machines on my home net? regs, -jrp -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

[SLE] GATEWAY ADDRESS
by jperser＠airmail.net 17 Oct '99

17 Oct '99

I've looked at /etc/route.conf and it has default set to 192.168.1.1 so I assume this is pointing to my IP MASQ machine to resolve a network address. If I try and ftp or ping from this machine to the outside world through my gateway I get "network unreachable". I can get to the network from my gateway without a problem (eg this email). I'm using the 2.0.36 kernel and the following commands to setup the IP MASQ. I've set IP_FORWARDING to yes in rc.config. Anything else I'm obviously missing? I used ipfwadm -F -p deny ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.1.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0 Should I forget working with 2.0.36 and upgrade to SuSE 6.2? Is the IP-MASQ setup easier? -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

[SLE] GATEWAY Address
by jperser＠airmail.net 17 Oct '99

17 Oct '99

Where does this actually get set? In yast for eth0 I put in my gateway address of 192.168.1.1 (which is my IPMASQ server) but when I look in rc.config at the IFCONFIG_0 parameter it points to 192.168.1.255. If this is the wrong place, where do I put the value so my machine will try and route through my IP MASQ machine? -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

[SuSE Linux] Call-back with SuSE 6.1
by Luch＠osi.nnov.ru 14 Jun '99

14 Jun '99

Hi, everybody I'm new to Linux. Installed SuSE a couple of weeks ago and now trying to get some functionality. I have trouble setting up call-back (SuSe 6.1<---> ISP's NT Server 4.0) with optional number (fixed as well). Tried to use wvdial, but with no success (it dials OK, but then seems like doesn't know what to do next). Can it do the trick? I feel that maybe some scripting could help me. Could anybody provide me with necessary directions (or direct to the information) for making a flexible script and what software I need installed or some other approach? (I've read PPP-HOWTO but don't know if the information it contains applicable to current SuSE version; it doesn't say anything about wvdial). One more thing. Is it necessary to set the proper values in "resolv.conf" and host.conf? Some other files? I actually tried to find the answer and found a sample ppp.conf with brief instructions on settings (from Free-BSD as I remember), but can I use it with SuSE 6.1 and how? Any help will be greatly appreciated (tired from constant W$ + Netscape crashes) Vyacheslav -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

Just downloaded and installed VMware tonight, all I can say is wow! truly amazing! Talk about multitasking? What would you call running two operating systems at the same time? VMware is going to be huge.
