Subject: Intel NIC
I have a problem while I am trying to implement firewall on a Linux box. Problem is that I have installed two Intel NIC's in the system and gave them two IPs with the same subnet, when I ping them from the other machines both of them reply but when I ping to each other they don't. What could be the reason? Thanks

Subject: DSL Access
My telephone carrier slashed the prices on DSL access http://public.pacbell.net/dedicated/dsl/dsl_basic.html. I am currently on the waiting list to get connected via DSL. The PacBell page lists the following under the "Hardware Requirements" section -
* Alcatel 1000 DSL Modem
* POTS Spliter
* Kingston KNE 40T Network Interface Card
I have a dual-boot (Debian GNU/)Linux - Win '95 machine at home. How is the support for the above hardware under Linux?

I am looking for information on what differentiates kernel 2.2.x from 2.0.x. Perhaps you could do an article on it? There were many articles on the Windows98 release and how it different from Windows95, whether one should upgrade, etc. Jump on the bandwagon. Thank you very much.

Subject: Does Linux like WINS?
Hello all. Now that my network card is working, I am trying to connect my Linux box (Red Hat 5.2, kernel 2.0.36-0.7) to my Windows network. After some struggling, the Linux machine now appears and is accessible in the Network Neighborhoods of all my Win 9x/NT4 workstations. Furthermore, I can ping and telnet from each workstation to the Linux server by its host name (WHL31) and by its static IP address (192.168.34.6).
However, I can only ping from the Linux box to the workstations by their respective IP address. Since the workstations receive IP addresses dynamically from the DHCP service on my NT3.51 server, I cannot simply add the host names for all workstations to /etc/hosts. Therefore, my NT3.51 server (192.168.34.1) also acts as the WINS server for my network. I have configured Samba (1.9.18p10) with the following entries in /etc/smb.conf:
wins server = 192.168.34.1 name resolve order = wins hosts lmhosts bcastbut the Linux machine does not seem to be querying the WINS database.
What am I missing here? Is there another way to direct Linux to the WINS database? I was hoping to try things this way first, before trying to set up the Linux server as the WINS and/or DNS-caching server for my network.
Thank you for your attention in this matter. Any suggestions and ideas would be most welcome. However, please bear in mind that I am not very network savvy. For that matter, I'm also do not have any formal IS training.
Regards,

Subject: Linux to Netware Problem
Hi, I liked your zine very much. I'm mailing you, because it appears that no one knows how to solve my problem ( at least here, in Brazil). The problem appears when I try to connect ( dialing ) to my ISP, that is a Novell Netware. Look at the logs.
First, I tried to connect with minicom :
CONNECT 33600/ARQ/V34/LAPM/V42BIS[ after some time: ]
Connected to NetWare CONNECT 2.0.30 Service Selector on port AIO_111913000. Sorry, there are no services available at this time.Ok, I thought. Minicom is not the best way to connect. So, someone said that connecting with pppd would be the solution. The result was the same. Then, I read about ezppp in one home page that said it works works with Win NT. The result was the same. My modem is an USN
