[ale] Hosting Services

I am a neophyte to setting up websites and hosting but I have a need to set
up an informational website with pdf files and mp3 files. I have already
purchased some domain names to hold them.
Does anyone have any recommendations for hosting services and tools. This
will not be a big site since it is informational.
I am also thinking about creating a site that will go nationwide in the
future but I am not sure of what I want to do. It would be nice to sell
advertisement on the site to subsidize it but I am not sure how to get
started with that.
Any advice on the small informational site would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Rett

Chris -
Having fought with 'linmodem', 'lt-modem', etc, I agree. Not only is it
slow, it has a rough time sync-ing up to the incoming carrier. You could
rework the source code quite a bit and never achieve a fast and robust
phase-lock!
I'll dump it once and for all.
'Zoom' and $49.95 looks like a good option.

check out linmodem. I got my modem working in my Compaq using that
project. I downloaded the drivers and only get 14.4k. That is the
highest speed you are allowed on the "free" version of the drivers. I
think the paid version is $20 and you get up to 56k.
Even then it was just too flaky and the software modem does not like
talking to older devices with hardware modems. I've abandon it and
have a very nice Multi-Tech USB ZDX. I've not ran across a device I
can't talk to. However, brand new this modem lists for $125.

Hello,
Does anyone know how to convert a physical server to a Xen guest? Where do I
start?

ALErs -
I want to capture all [wired] traffic to or from certain IPs (or MACs if
preferred) on a Linux host attached to a desktop hub through which all the
traffic of interest is passing.
I set capture into 'promiscous' mode and filter on the stations I want to
see, but only display packets that would normally be read by my wireshark
host: broadcast, etc. I run wireshark from a console in which I have become
'su'.
What must I do to see on host 'A' all the traffic going between hosts 'B'
and 'C'? Are there some switches that must be used when building wireshark,
or other constraints on how it is run?
Thanks for any guidance.
- Mills

If you are on a switch you may not be able to capture the packets for
other IPs. You need a hub. Unless I am missing something else here...

Somewhat loaded question:
If you are planning on making this a para-virtualized guest on a DOM:
this requires that your guest OS (the physical server) run the xen
kernel modifications and modules, in other words it needs to know it
is being virtualized, so you would need to consider the following:
1. does this machine need a custom kernel and custom
modules?
2. does this machine need access to all the same hardware it
used
when it was physically running on hardware
If you are planning on running the physical server inside a non para-
virtualized guest, it is fairly easy (or could be):
the guest OS need not be aware it is being virtualized
1. you can LVM snapshot the disk(s) and prepare a Xen DOM
and boot
LVM snapshot inside the DOM
I realize to newcomers to Xen, this all seems daunting, but there are
a huge number of options here. You could make the physical machine a
Xen DOM (physical machine that hosts guest machines) and then just
snapshot or copy the data for the guest to use (this may be the
easiest). There are many senarios, so it would depend on what state
the intended guest is in...what OS, etc.
I would consult the Xen docs and check if your dom hardware can
support non para virtualized hosts (your processor must have the
extensions)

Yeah you need to know if you are using a hub or a switch. If you're using a
switch you would need to setup a mirror port on the switch (if it is capable
of that) and attach your linux host to that port.
You might find it simpler to use tcpdump to determine if you are picking up
traffic destined for third party hosts.
Something like:
tcpdump -netti eth0 dst ip_address and not src local_ip
where ip_address == some other host on the local network AND
where local_ip == the ip address of the machine you are using to snoop

Correct. If you want to do this on a switch then you need a switch
that will mirror ports for the purpose of sniffing. Cisco is one such
example.

All -
Thanks for the comments. I actually have two consumer-grade Ethernet
junctions: one (Fry's no-name) calls itself a switch, the other (Netgear)
calls itself a hub. I think I tried all the configurations, but maybe not.
I'll have another run at it.
Screening with 'tcpdump' to see what traffic is visible at the port is an
excellent idea. Then I would know if the problem is filtering or topology.
I many come back with more questions.

If you purchased the netgear recently, it is very likely a switch.
What's the model number?
