Better yet. Intel and AMD should stick to producing processors and let the
users determine how the computers built with their processors should be
used.

I may have jumped the gun on this comment (used to Solaris), however
if you are doing a complete reinstall, then I would think a half-way
decent install program should detect your hardware and do a MKDEV
as approriate (they may or may not, I don't know). If for some reason
you do not have to do a reinstall, then I would think if easier just
to MAKEDEV hde, than to restore from tape (or whatever backup medium
you use). Again, on linux I am used to single drive systems, so I
don't know for sure if installation programs detect extra drives or
not... On Solaris, I am used to 'drvconfig; disks' to add hard drives,
so I may be spoiled on this point. :-(

Date: Tue, 05 Sep 2000 22:36:00 GMT
Hi,
I have recently reconfigured our network to use Network Address Translation
via a Netgear RT314 router. Since that time, we have not received external
mail on our mail server. Can someone explain to me the guidelines for
moving an internet mail server behind a NAT box?
I have reconfigured the server with an internal IP address (192.168.0.26)
and have setup the router to pass traffic through port 25 (SMTP) and the POP
and IMAP ports to the internal server address. Everything else (http, etc.)
appears to be working.
By the way, the mail server is a PC running Red Hat Linux 6.2 and using
sendmail. We had no problems until I tried the NAT reconfiguration. Any
help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The Internet needs to be able to see a host that will accept mail. Since
you've reconfigured, have you updated your DNS info to reflect this? You
should have one or more MX records which identify your mail server. Do they
now point to the hostname (fully-qualified domain name) of your NAT box? If
not, that's probably what you need to change.

Hmm...wait a minute. Which server? What router? Doesn't ALL traffic go
through your NAT box?

This sounds pretty much exactly like union-mounting, only COW.
Does Linux-2.4's union mounting support COW like that? (I don't have the
2.4 kernel here atm because of a crisis involving `rm -r' and fingers
typing faster than brain, so I can't easily tell.)

I have a Tekram DC-390U2W SCSI card. I compile support into the kernel
(have tried module and *, but no help). I have to boot up, wait until init
drops to a shell because it can't mount all the filesystems, and then insert
the module and mount the filesystems. I then go to runlevel 3 to resume
startup. How do I get it to do this at startup?

Yes, smbmount. When my cdrom started to fail on an old Linux box I was
playing around with at work, I simply smbmount'd the cdrom of my Win95 PC.

(My apologies if this appears as a re-post....I waited a couple hours and my
1st attempt never showed up in the groups.)
"LRW" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:...
OK, here's the setup.
I have a Win2000-Pro box with the CD-Rom that I'm using for the install.
I'm trying to install RedHat 6.2 on a laptop that's connected to the network
via a 3com PCMCIA card and no CD-Rom.
I tried copying the CD over to the laptop but the laptop is only powerful
enough to run Win95 and won't accept large file names. So I'm leaving the
install CD in the 2000 and hoping to be able to connect to it.
Now, I made an install/boot floppy for PCMCIA card support, and one for NFS
and net support.
Both say after booting up "Insert Driver Disk and press OK".
Of course I try just OK'ing from there, and get "The floppy you inserted is
not a valid driver disk for this release of RedHat Linux." and takes be back
to the driver disk request.
Now, if it's asking for the network card driver disk, all I can find for the
3Com Ethernet III (3C589D) is from 3Com's site, and it just has Windows
drivers.
So, just for giggles I cancel the request and go on.
It asks for language and country, then asks where the image is coming from:
NFS, FTP, HTTP, or Hard Disk.
Of course HD isn't an option because it's not ON the HD. And even if I
wanted to pull it from an FTP site, when I try that just to see what happens
it asks what network card driver to use. I've tried each of the 3Com's
listed and each time it says the device is busy or unavailable. And to be
honest I don't know what NFS means, but that yields the same result with the
bootnet.img boot disk. With the pcmcia boot disk, it asks for the IP and dir
of the image, but when I put in the IP of the 2000 box, no matter what I try
as the dir (CD_rom drive letter, the share name, etc) it IMMEDIATELY pops up
with a msg saying cannot locate that dir.
So, based on this, anyone have any suggestions as to how to proceed from
here?
Thanks!!

Addendum:
I actually think I got it to detect the network card and get out on the net.
At least when it asked me to an IP number it auto filled the gateway and
netmask correctly.
When I try the NFS setup, it asks for IP number of the NFS server, and "the
directory on that server containing RedHat Linux for your architecture."
I put the IP number of the 2000 box, but what do I put in the directory
field?
I tried e:\redhat, \\e$\redhat, and it says "couls not mount that dir from
the server -- mount: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: unable to retrieve."
Does that help at all?
Thanks!

Subject: ftp problems
Date: Tue, 05 Sep 2000 19:37:13 -0600
I don't know if this is a problem on my end or the other
but I have been trying to download kernel 2.2.17 repeatedly
using ncftp (or letting buildkernel do it). The entire
kernel downloads but at the end, the connection wont
complete - it just sits there and refuses to do the little
extra bit of terminating the download.
I have tried downloading various versions from
ftp.bz2.us.kernel.org with the same damn result each time.
It gets to the last bit and stops, refusing to terminate
the session/download so I can use the file.
Why would this occur and how do I fix it?
I am using ftp-0.10-8mdk or ncftp-3.0.1-6mdk. I had no
problem downloading the compiling kernel 2.2.16 previously
so whatever the problem is, it is recent.
I am running Mandrake 7.1 and have tried buildkernel-1.00 and
now buildkernel-1.03. Same result there too (I believe
buildkernel just uses plain ole ftp).

They can be made to work if renamed to linmodem.

Subject: Can't Reach Local Network
Date: Wed, 06 Sep 2000 01:47:17 GMT
I've read what HOWTO''s and scoured this and other newsgroups for a
solution to my problem, but I can't find it. Here's the problem:
I have a machine running Win2000, Win98 and Caldera 2.4. I have two
ethernet cards in the machine, one going to the cable modem and the
other going to the local LAN. Both cards work fine under Win98/2000 and
I can successfully use Internet Connection Sharing to reach the Internet
from my wife's machine. Under Linux, I can only reach the Internet.
Here's a summary of the Linux config:
Caldera 2.4 (2.2.14 kernel- default, no recompiling)
3c509 on eth0
IP: 24.1.197.126
Subnet: 255.255.248.0
Default route: 24.1.192.1
RealTek 8130 on eth1
IP: 192.168.0.1
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Default route: None
Output from ROUTE -N
Kernel IP routing table

eth1
24.1.192.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.248.0 U 0 0 0
eth0

lo
0.0.0.0 24.1.192.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0
eth0
The output from IFCONFIG
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:4B:26:E1:92
inet addr:24.1.197.126 Bcast:24.1.199.255 Mask:255.255.248.0

Interrupt:11 Base address:0xec00
I don't believe this is a kernel-related problem as the boot messages
show that the system is recognizing both cards properly. I have
activity lights on both cards and on the hub. I can ping eth0 and get
out to the Intener just fine through eth0. I can ping the IP of eth1,
but I can't ping my wife's machine (which is at 192.168.0.2). I've
tried changing the default route, disabling the default route (for eth1,
that is--killing the default route for eth0 kills my 'Net connection).
Nothing seems to work. I know the network configuration on the second
machine is correct, as it works fine under Win98/2000.
I can't figure out what the hell I'm doing wrong. I can't help but
think it's something ridiculously simple that I'm overlooking or unaware
of, but I don't know what it would be. Would there be any firewall
settings or other network settings that would disallow anything getting
past eth1? I have Caldera's default firewall setup enabled, plus I've
tweaked the allow and deny settings, but I pretty much followed the
HOWTO's on that, so I don't know why it would disable outbound traffic
on eth1.
