Take a look at the following package

http://linux.zipworld.com.au/fake/

It does provide IP Fail-Over for servers
on the box level.

If a try to ifconfig eth1 (ifconfig eth1 10.1.1.1 255.0.0.0)  I get
SIOCSIFADDR: Operation not supported by device
SIOCSIFADDR: Operation not supported by device

I have tried MULTIPLE types of cards.  What I have in the box now is two PCI
cards one Intel and one 3com.

Both work if they are the ONLY card in the box. If bothare in the box only
one will work (the intel card)

I've also tried it with two 3 com cards (one pci and one isa) if I do this
only the pcicard works.

Also tried it with two isa cards (only one will work)

cua0 = com1

cua3 = com4

The numbers are jumped down -- Linux starts at 0, while DOS (The COM

cua1.

I cannot help you with your question but you might be able to answer my
Apache and Linux question

 I have installed RH5.2 and Apache from the same CD and verified the
installation.

1.)  The Apache directory has installed in /usr/lib rather than /usr/local;
does this matter?
      And why would it install in that directory?

2.) The httpd.conf is loaded at /dev/etc/httpd and when I attempt to "start"
it with httpd command
       I get "httpd: cannot determine local host name.
        use the ServerName directive to set it manually.

I have tried to understand what command to use here to no avail.  Any help
for this ignorant sole would be appreciated.

I am having a lot of difficulty with the etherfast as well. tons of errors on

Subject: do I need a router ?
Date: Tue, 29 Dec 1998 14:03:59 GMT


The background is that I and some friends intend to purchase a permanent 
connection to the 'net - somewhere between 128K & 512K depending on how much 
money we can come up with - and I will set up a dial-in system at my house 
(and therefore I have the benefit of the full speed of the connection !) for 
the others to use.

So as to gain as much experience and knowledge as I can I want to set up the 
home system so that it emulates a major ISP as closely as possible.  I have 3 
486 machines and 1 pentium 133 and 1 pentium 200.

As I understand it, a major ISP has on seperate machines proxy server (squid), 
web server (apache), news server (slrn/inn ?), mail server (sendmail), IP 
allocation (DHCP).  No firewall is required because no user will have a shell 
account and no machine on my LAN will have any information of any value.  If I 
am right a firewall is not needed by an ISP because the clients both send and 
receive requests and information and so the servers have to sit outside of any 
firewall anyway ???

The problem I have is that I need both the incoming lines and the ISDN line to 
be connected to this network.

I think that I can connect an ISDN card in the proxy server machine directly 
to the permanent connection and so give the whole LAN permanent access.  If 
that is so then that is easy !

I assume that to handle 15 incoming lines I need 15 modems (and 30 lines 
requires 30 modems etc).  How do I connect these 15 modems to the LAN ?  Do I 
need 3 machines each with 5 serial ports ?  I understood that something like 
the cisco 1603 ISDN router has 'x' number of serial ports that the modems plug 
into and a 10baseT connection to plug into the LAN.  The router is then in 
charge of directing traffic back to the requesting client.  But if this is the 
case, who verifies the logins, assigns IP numbers and initiates the ppp 
connection to the dial-in client ?

As the 1603 router is fairly expensive, I am trying to find a way around that. 
 Also, the information on the telco's page implied that a remote access server 
was used in place of 'x' number of modems and was cheaper and easier than that 
many modems as well.  Have you any knowledge on this ?

If more computers are needed they are fairly cheap second hand so please make 
whatever suggestion you think is appropriate.

I hope the above is clear.

I sincerely appreciate your time in reading this and look forward to your 
replies.

Ivan.

Hello,

If this is your real network, you really need a lot of hubs! One for each
work floor
to start with. It is possible to use a linux server to separate the
testlab from the rest.
The testlab side will need another net, or you will have to use
subnetting.
You can use the private ip-range for example. (192.168.*.*)

Its a simple answer. Check your hard drive to see if it uses LBA (Linear block
addressing).... When you install, Check the box in the last sscreen that says
to use LBA - 'may be needed for some SCSI drives'. I know as fact that a lot of
WD hard disks use this.

I'm not sure what's going on with smbmount (have you made sure you have smb 
filesystems compiled
into your kernel, though?), but smbmount is completely separate from samba. I can kill 
my smbd
and nmbd and smbmount still works perfectly.

Currently users are using Web based news (Dejanews) but this is very

I have access to a news server on a secured network.  I still want my users

Is there an easy way to compile a NIC driver into a loadable module?
I am using the SMC 1211TX which is a realtek chip. I have the driver
source, just need to compile it for RH 5.2. How do I do this?

Thanks,

Mike
