I beg to differ. I am using two 3Com 905B-TX nics on two different
machines running Red Hat Linux and everything works fine. I am not sure
why you are having difficulties with the 3Com 509B, but you may need to
get new drivers for it. Try this website:

Good luck.

Your broadcast address seems to be wrong. Try using 192.0.1.255 and
see if that helps. It's important to get this right because whenever
samba is started, it "broadcasts" its presence to the entire network
which is a signal for an election of the master browser.

If you mean the commands to initiate IP masquerading, put them in
the rc.local file in the /etc/rc.d directory. This insures that it will
start every time the machine boots up.

Subject: Dlink network cards..
Date: Sun, 27 Dec 1998 02:30:33 GMT
Wondering if anyone has had any luck using the Dlink 250 ISA cards with
Pentium motherboards.. in both windows and in linux they wont ping each
other... and they will not work with the cable modem.. (yes this one
doesnt have to have the original NIC installed to work with it).. When
you check the cards under Linux it shows that it recieves the correct
number of packets but they dont do anything with it.. I also just tried
networking the 2 computers using Win98 and the same thing.... The
reason i was wondering is the only info i could find under the Dlinks
web site was that you have to turn two settings to normal in the setup
program for them and that has been done already...

This probably isn't the problem, but here's a long shot.
If you have an external modem and your cable is incorrect, it may be
that turning on the hardware flow control is causing it to look at a
pin on the connector that's always on or always off due to the cable
wiring. That could stop you cold.

Hi there,
I've got a 3com 905B NIC hooked up to my Cybersurfer cable modem and trying
to configure linux to use the cable to access the net. It detects the card
fine. I'm able to ping the machine..but after that I can't get anywhere ..
not even ping the gateway.
I'm using RH5.2.... Some information that may be relevant:
IP Address 24.3.137.123
Gateway 24.3.137.1
Computer name cc675029-b
Domain name narltn1.nj.home.com
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
DNS server 24.3.144.33
I entered this information into the relevant fields in netcfg... but still
no go... Any help will be most appreciated.
Instead of this, I can also use DHCP...but that's also a no go as well. I've
read all the available FAQs , HOW-TOs.
Thanks!

I hate to go for the obvious, but it has stomped me for a day:
have you tried resetting your cable modem? It stores your ethernet card's
hardware address and will only allow connections from that card.
Here is what you do:
disconnect base T cable from modem
Press reset (small button on the back)
wait until the lights settle
insert cable again
press reset
wait until the lights settle
try pinging the gateway
enjoy if it works

You can bring the machine up in single user mode by entering
linux single
at the LILO prompt to fix things like this. The password file should
have the same format unless you had converted one or the other
of the machines to use the shadow password file. If you use the
same format on both machines you should be able to just edit in
the lines for all the users on the new machine. You'll want /etc/group
as well, and if you are using /etc/shadow that the same user lines
from there as you did in the /etc/passwd file.
If the machines are networked you can make a tar file of the
home directories and extract on the new machine, or use nfs, rcp
or rsync to copy over directly.

You don't want to configure a default route unless there actually is
a router on your ethernet that can route anywhere (in which case you
don't need ppp dialup to the internet). If you haven't set a
default route, ppp will install itself as the default route
automatically when the connection comes up.
You may or may not want to run your own name server, depending
on what else you are doing on the ethernet and what is supposed
to happen do DNS requests when the ppp connection is down.

Use a CAT5 cable. I'm assuming you don't have a hub, so here's the
setup of the cable.., End 1: Pin1 - White-Orange, Pin2 - Orange,
Pin3 - White-Green, Pin4 - Blue, Pin5 - White-Blue, Pin6 - Green,
Pin7 - White-Brown, Pin8 Brown. (this is on ONE end)
End 2: Pin1 - White-Green, Pin2 - Green, Pin3 - White-Orange,
Pin4 - Blue, Pin5 - White-Blue, Pin6 - Orange, Pin7 White-Brown,
Pin8 - Brown. In a nutshell, your RJ-45 ends should match on
both ends. (i.e., stuffing all the wires in order of end one
with the notch down, wires installed in the other end should also
be done with the notch down.) In other words, just line up all
the wires in the color codes mentioned and put them into the ends
and it will work. ;)

I've only just managed to grok ipchains myself, but I think you can
use the following:
ipchains -A input -p TCP -d 0.0.0.0/0 80 -j REDIRECT 987
I tested this on my own machine, only in reverse, so anything coming

I think RH5 has a command called netcfg .... In the control panel in Xwindows
there is a network configuration icon used to configure the network. I tried RH
this last spring so I can't remember exactly where it was.

Thanks for all your help. I did a re-install selecting everything. This
time I got all the directory structures, all the modules and all the source.
I was able to change the driver and re-compile a new kernel.
It appears the problem is with the SVGA X-Server. If I install the VGA
X-Server I don't have the problem of the system locking up when networking
is enabled. If I install the SVGA X-Server while networking is
enabled...the system locks up (even with the new driver).
Thanks again for all your help.
