<PRE> Hi Ine :) (my first name is georges-Henry if it too much to type use Gh but not george ,please :) If the project goes be sure I'll keep you in touch however. we are still hesitating as the machine as to serve NT workstation users, we might need to run NT server to have user authentification. regards Gh portefait inemes wrote:

Hi George,

I have a similar NT setup (NT w/s 4.0 with SP 3.0, MDaemon v2.74, Ishare v3.0 and WinPop). My mail system just crashed last night without any warning, and I was unable to restart MDaemon (as an NT service), so I have to reinstall the whole stuff.

I am very interested in your project, can you let me know how you progress?

Thanks,

IP-masqurade will work for internet access. I use it here with my lan (NT workstation on one, several windows 95 boxes and one power mac) to access the net. You can configure your mailserver to spool locally with minimal difficulty since that's a fairly common practice anyway, kind of the default...

IN simpler terms: SuSE linux is your dream come true (at least in this case). :)

Greetings to all,

I will shorthly receive an old box ( Pentium 90 with 96 Mb RAM, 1 Gb SCSI drive on ADAPTEC 2940)

I was thinking of using this machine to be the dialup server to the Internet and a file server for NT workstations, SGI stations, PC Linux stations ( in a close future ).

I was thinking of using Linux

<snip> This is not to you in particular, but to those who are considering ISDN for a LAN and have some money buring a hole your pocket :-). Instead of dealing with a dialing server and routing and so forth with that, an elegant (though pricey) solution to this problem is a ISDN LAN modem. I chose this option, even though it was more expensive, because I screw around with my machines a lot (I run NT, linux, BeOS, FreeBSD and OpenBSD on one machine alone) and when I screw up the one that dials in, I have no net access under that OS (or sometimes, any). The LAN modem is OS agnostic and configured through a built in http server. I just use a web browser to configure and then leave it alone. Since I have several machines on my network, it's better for me because I only have to set the default gateway and the DNS server to the address of the modem (determined by me) on each of the machines and it simply works. I know it's pricy and some people like the pain of setting up stuff like this, but it's an option. I work as a admin at work. When I come home, I just want it to work :-) lunaslide * PGP key->pgpkeys.mit.edu port 11371 * * * * * * Lisp has all the visual appeal of oatmeal with fingernail clippings mixed in.

The downside of your setup is that you have no firewall service capability. Using one linux box as a gateway would permit you have a firewall for your lan. I also set up a video conferencing reflector for a few cams around the hours, an in-house videoconferencing system (OK, I have a bit too much time on my hands...) and a test irc server for similar purposes (WAY too much time on my hands).

You can still do this. You put two NICs in the linux firewall, place it between the router and the network and point the other machines to the firewall as the default gateway. This should work. Also, as someone mentioned in a private question, the Accend Pipeline 75 performs the same function as my 3Com, but provides a firewall in the router as part of the package. I cannot attest to the quality of this firewall, or to the quality of the linux firewall for that matter. Since I am not serving anything to the net, I just have incomming unsolicited packets turned off and no one gets in.

Anyone know how to convince linux to make coffee? ;)

Don't give me any ideas like that! I have little enough free time already! :-) lunaslide * PGP key->pgpkeys.mit.edu port 11371 * * * * * * Lisp has all the visual appeal of oatmeal with fingernail clippings mixed in.
