If you are running on a dual processor server, you might have the apic mode set
incorectly.  On Compaq servers, you type ctlA during the start of the config
program for advanced mode and set the apic mode to full table mapped mode.  I
believe this is the mode you need.  You are probably set to full table mode.
That's the only way I know of to get the high IRQs.

 Is the card actually pluged into the network ???

 These cards don't like to run without being pluged in somewheres.

 Hello,
 I'm trying to install a network card Compaq NETFLEX 3/P(tlan.o module) and
 here is what I got:
 
 1.ifconfig output:
 eth0  Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:80:5F:D4:6F:84
   inet addr:192.168.0.3  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
   UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
   RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
   TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
   collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
   Interrupt:17 Base address:0xf4f0
 
 2. console output:
 
 Jun 14 19:48:45 linux1 kernel: TLAN driver, v1.0, (C) 1997-8 Caldera, Inc.
 Jun 14 19:48:45 linux1 kernel: TLAN:  eth0 irq=17 io=f4f0, Compaq
 NetFlex-3/P, Rev. 16
 Jun 14 19:49:02 linux1 kernel: TLAN:  eth0: Link forced.
 
 
 
 2. message when I'm trying to use  "insmod tlan irq=5 io=0xf4f0
 speed=10Mbs"
 
 /lib/modules/2.2.9/net/tlan.o: invalid parameter parm_irq
 /lib/modules/2.2.9/net/tlan.o: invalid parameter parm_io
 /lib/modules/2.2.9/net/tlan.o: invalid parameter parm_speed
 
 As you can see the IRQ detected is 17. I know(with a DOS program)
 that the card is on 5 ...
 
 I did tried kernel 2.2.6,7,8,9 with Caldera 2.2,SUSE 6.1 and Redhat 6.1.
 I  tried to put as a parameter in conf.modules:
  "alias eth0 tlan
 options tlan io=0xf4f0 irq=5"
 and I got the same message: "invalid parameter parm_irq" etc...
 
 What's strange is that after I load the module..with that strange IRQ...I
 have conectivity for about 2-3 min...and then nothing...it's really weird.
 I've changed 3 cards, I've changed the slot on the mainboard,I've enable
 and
 disable PNP in BIOS..I did everything!!!
 
 So how can I force to use that IRQ(5)? Or am I doing something wrong here?

 I am using an older Caldera distribution (1.2/1.3) as a POP3 server.  The
 POP3 server frequently gives the error message "-ERR Received Kiss of
Death"
 for no apparent reason.

 I telnet to port 110 and login.  Whether the user has email or not does
not
 seem to be relevant.  The error occurs

Subject: DNS problems using Win98/Sygate with RH5.2
Date: Sat, 27 Mar 1999 22:19:41 -0500

Last weekend I installed the Mandrake dist of Linux. It include KDE. The
install went without a hitch except for my network setup.

Here is what I have:

I have a peer to peer network with 2 Win98 boxes and one Linux box. One of
the Wintel boxes is hooked to my ISDN line and on it is installed Sygate.
Sygate is a software product that lets me share my ISDN connection. It runs
as a "service" on the Wintel box and is setup using DHCP protocol.

On my other Wintel machine running as the "client", I didn't have to
configure anything as the Sygate software automatically assigned IP and took
care of DNS. But I need to know what I need to set on the Linux box to get
it to work.

Right now on the Linux box, if I enter the IP of a web site, it will connect
to the site properly. But if I use the domain name, it times out. That tells
me the DNS is messed up somewhere.

The techs at Sygate told me all I need to set on the Linux box is an unused
IP address on my network and the DNS of my ISP. I've done both, but DNS is
still not working.

I'm pretty much a newbie to this Linux stuff, so if someone could step me
through what to look for, that would be really appreciated.

I'm using Linux 100% at home but W98 on notebook for work.
I use to transfer information running NTWkst and W98 before I use Linux
and I want to do the same now.

Let say on my W98, I have:

IP= 10.0.01
mask= 255.0.0.0
workgroup= shadow

What do I need to do on Linux inorder to see Linux my W98?
