Also, you might want to remove the HARDWARE line from that file. It should
just use the mac from your network card. Maybe the router doesn't want to
assign FF:FF:FF...a mac address?

Firstly, it's a great bookstore. I purchased an o'reilly book and the book

Secondly, my friend and a fellow WLUGger (Marc Hughes) works for bookpool!

Sofpro was nice to have around for emergencies but if you can wait 3-4

Its TCP/IP. No software needed. Your linux box and XP box will get to the
router the same way, via TCP/Ip, just like if you were plugged into your
work network. Set your router to DHCP, set your clients to DHCP, and enjoy

Thanks to all who answered on this one. I called Verizon to ask them
about linux, and the person I spoke to had never heard of it. He did
manage to spell it right the first time, put me on hold and went to talk
to someone else who said that it does work. I also switched my phone
plan, and I'm saving $5/month on the DSL and another $5/month on my long
distance.
I probably will have questions about this when I try to set it up. This
will be my first attempt at networking. OK, I thought of one already.
I'm running linux, and housemate is running XP. Will each OS just deal
with the router, or do I need special software to interact with a
windows box?

One thing, Remember to reboot your brigde (cable modem) after you install
the router. It attatches to the mac address of what it's plugged into, and
you need to reboot to have it grab the MAC of your router.

I have dealt with 3 cable companies.
The first, the local Shrewsbury Cable company wanted a Windows box so
their installer could prove/test that the system was working. This is a
reasonable position; if you don't draw the line tightly you'll end up
dealing with the customer-from-hell and just run up expenses.
Incidentally, the guy who came to my house played with Linux at home so
the atmosphere was cordial but beside the point since I had a windows
notebook for the initial test (and then just reconnected cables once he
was out the door.
The second was for my daughter in Southboro. There the cable was
Charter. Again, I just had a windows notebook available in the cellar
where the cable came in and the cable modem would lie. As with the
Shrewsbury cable company the service guy just wanted to confirm that the
signal was working and again, I just reconnected cables once he was
out the door.
The third was Adelphia up at our cottage in NH. This time I did not get
to the notebook stage. I just looked over the service man's shoulder
while he installed the signal separator (ethernet/tv) and waved goodbye. I
then ran a cable into the house to the cable modem (this time I bought
it; cheaper route) and from there to a firewall/router.
In all cases most computers are running Linux (my wife still has a
Windows box for games) and all work fine. Once the signal gets out of
the cable modem to your router, the os of the connected computers will
make no difference.
I cannot comment on phone help from any of the three companies since I
have never needed it. I would not expect them to deal with Linux since
that would not be cost-effective. On the other hand, this list is an
alternative that will trump a low paid telephone responder any time :-)
Get the modem in (and have a windows machine available) and then connect
your router and see if you can ping the router etc. If you run into a
problem get in touch with the list (or me directly if you wish).

That's a great approach, but do appreciate that in making some early
mistakes, you can easily wind up with your system used to relay spam
en-masse, or worse. I would recommend a slow and thorough approach,
along with a fail-back option if something doesn't work as expected. Get
the firewall working and tested as step 1. Have someone knowledgeable
help with testing as you go.
Unfortunately, the 'net has become a dangerous place for learning these
days, and mistakes are quickly exploited.
Or you could simply never make mistakes. :)

Well, depending on your ISP 'situation', something like this might be
nice:

I use dyndns' backup MX service, in case my connection goes down. They spool

Martin, Eric wrote:
> [...] I own two domains, and I want to have email from those domains

The first question is: will your provider allow incoming smtp to your
address? If so, you can set up MX pointers to your server... unless it's
dynamic. In which case, you could set up with one of the dynamic dns
providers, and update it with a short TTL. In which case, everything shulud
work, although some systems will reject (RBL) mail originating
from your address simply because it IS dynamic.
Back in Phoenix, I was set up (with Cox as my provider) with a server at the
house directly accepting mail from outside. It was great fun, but due to the
worm/virus outbreaks, and various threats from the community at large, they
began blocking inbound smtp, and eventually outbound as well. While this was
certainly aggravating at the time, and I was annoyed they didn't bother to
NOTIFY me of this change, in hindsight
it's probalby just as well.
I wound up going with a $2/mo. offsite hosting outfit, and have to say my
aggravation levels are greatly reduced (not to mention I can down my server
and not worry about losing stuff... a real advantage while moving last
summer.) It's also nice now that I'm experiencing the not-quite-so-steady
power in my new home area.
Mail for my domains goes to the hosted server (my MX), and I pull it down at
regular (5 min.) intervals using fetchmail via POP3. I run postfix locally,
but relay through my provider's (charter) smtp server for outbound to avoid
sudden surprises if ToS changes. I've got accounts on the hosted server for
my users (family), plus a "wildcard" that I can use to break things out
locally via aliases.
It's not as sexy as having incoming mail handled directly, but mail for my
domains "is delivered to my server" for local reading via POP/IMAP,
and I do have control over the local outbound (smtp). I don't have
spammers knocking at my server constantly, and I have to admit I don't
miss the headaches of an exposed server (though the learning was fun).
I'm not sure if that's what you had in mind, but it does work well.
> I have Postfix in mind, I've heard it's pretty easy but I'm obviously
> not set on it.
I used postfix throughout, and found it quite easy to set up and administer.
Handling multiple domains locally was no big deal, jsut a matter of setting
the "mydestination" option. Again, specifics may vary depending on what your
provider allows/requires.
> I'd also like to include spamassassin, and antivirus (clamav
> probaly...)
I do run spamassassin via local delivery, but obviously the stuff's made it
onto my server by then. I don't run any MTA-level blocking, due to the setup
described above. It does keep the crud out of my family's inboxen though
(and quite deftly, I might add.) I also chain bogofilter and spamprobe,
experimenting with variations on bayes. I'm on the spamassassin list, and
there ways to get MTA-level integration, if you desire.
I'm running several anti-virus (3 - bitdefender, f-prot and
clamav) in line via procmail on delivery. Each detects some the others miss
(depending on the hour.) Again, this could be integrated at a higher level.
You might check out amavis or mailscanner.
I've got anomy sanitizer as a 3rd level of defense, stripping off active
content and defanging (web bugs and the like), for selected accounts.
I set this up all as discrete steps, and had no real headaches. The
documentation for each package (postfix, fetchmail, procmail,
spamassassin, clamav) was sufficient.
I run my own linux firewall, but I can understand why some folks prefer
