VPN beginner -- help!

I had a working 2.1 system with vpn, blah blah blah... The system's hard drive died. So I dounloaded 2.2R7 and installed it. Now I'm trying to get VPN to work, and I'm horrifically confused by all the documentation out there without simple instructions. What we have: a linux box doing masquerad

PPP and windows CE (Help!)

Ok, an update on the PPP/CE problem, with an unfortunate sticking point. I have a Jornada 680 with Windows CE on it. I also have a machine with Debian 2.1 installed on it. The two are connected through a serial cable on /dev/ttyS1. I execute: pppd -detach crtscts lock 192.168.0.7:192.168.

Sendmail thanks, now serial PPP

First of all, I'd like to thank everyone that helped me with my sendmail problem. The end result is that, although all solutions were fantastic, I didn't know that I needed to run the sendmail config program after making changes. Once I was told I needed to do this, everything started working.

Strange problem with ppp server --MKP

I'm running a PPP server on my debian 1.3 box for one of my friends on a win95 machine to connect to. He dials in, and pap is authenticated. Great! First problem, though, is that no entries get created via route and ifconfig, so he gets stuck. So I manually put entires in right after he logs

Deskpro 590

I just came into ownership of an old Compaq Deskpro 590 (Pentium 90) that I'm using to replace my old 486 fileserver. I was hoping to be able to throw a couple of PCI Ethernet cards into the system (SN3200CTs, NE2100 compatibles), but I ran into a sticking point. It seems that whenever I put o

Multiple network cards. ARGH!

Ok, let's see if I can describe my problem in a little more detail. I have a debian 1.3.1 system with two ethernet cards on it. Booting up into DOS, the two cards are: 1) IRQ 9, IO 300, BNC 2) IRQ 5, IO 320, 10bT They are both NE2000 cards. Trying to define these using ifconfig I get errors

Multiple ethernets

I added the line: append = "ether=0,320,eth1" to my /etc/lilo.conf, but it didn't do any good. it still only detects the first etehrnet card, located at 300. Both cards are NE2000 clones. one is at 300, the other at 320. Also, is there a netconfig script in debian? I can't find such a beast.
