I don't know you are using make menuconfig (it is a menu type method of
selecting what you want compiled into the kernel.) but in menuconfig under
networking support choose the eisa, vlb, other option. You (depending on
your kernel version) should have a PCI NE2000 option. If not choose the
ISA option and you should see a NE2000 option. For instructions on how to
make compile the kernel look at this site.

Take Care and good luck!

You are right, my advice doesn't apply. What exactly happens when you ping
the gateway?
I assume your interface is active... What does ifconfig return?
I.e. mine returns
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:127.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3584 Metric:1

RX packets:19077 errors:0 dropped:34 overruns:0
TX packets:11636 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0

I'm not a guru, but I think I can help you with setting up one computer if you
give me enough information. After all, mine is a single Red Hat 5.1 on @Home.
By the way, do you plan to set up ip masquerading? That's my next objective,
after I get my cdrom working . This is my problem with cdrom - any advice?
mount -o ro -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/cdrom as a block device
(maybe `insmod driver'?)
insmod isofs did not help.

Does that mean you know what they refer to now?
What ifmail is, is a set of programs for gateing fidonet netmail (like
email) & echos (like newsgroups) to standard email & newsgroups. ifcico
is the mailer, similar to what is used by uucp in that it only transfers
files...

I'm not, since that is what your installation was configured to do.
> How could an external user trigger that execution?
By having another fidonet mailer call your modem line... If mgetty is
compiled for it, & configured to do so, when it sees a standard char
sequence indicating that a fidonet mailer is calling it will in turn
call (in this case) the ifcico program to take care of the call...

Hello, people
Is there a way to install a realtek pci netcard driver (ne2000 pci
clone) during a first slackware 3.5 installation ?
I did not find any way, nor I did find a source module for that purpose
in order to build a new kernel.
But maybe I missed something.
Would somebody be nice inough and help me to find the right way ?
With many thanks

There seems to be a bug in /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/ppp.c on
line 3079:
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < VERSION(2,1,86)
which I believe should read
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE > VERSION(2,1,86)

Subject: Networking using Intel Etherexpress 10 (Pnp enabled)
Date: Sun, 27 Dec 1998 06:16:25 GMT
Hi,
I currently have both Windows 95 and Redhat Linux 5.1 in my machine.
>From Windows 95 environment I can get into Internet easily through my
ISP ( @home network ). However, I am having a hard time trying to do the
same from Linux.
My ethernet card is Intel Etherexpress 10 (pnp enabled).
After disableing plug and play using ISAPNP tool I have been able to
do insert the driver module ( eepro.o ) for my ethernet card.
I have configured my interface (eth0 ) using the ifconfig and
appropriate ip addresses and gateway. But still I cannot ping
anywhere on the net.
Could you please tell me what I am doing wrong ?
Any kind of help will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Well, sounds to me like you've got 4 print servers there. I'm not sure
about OS/2 and Win95, but certainly your Linux computers can be set up
as print servers. Just connect the printer to one and configure the
"lpd" software appropriately on both. I can't help you on what, if
anything, you have to do on the OS/2 and Win95 systems.

If one of the Linux boxes is up all the time, plug the printer
into it and set up lpr/lpd. The other Linux box (and OS/2 if
you have TCP installed) can access it as a remote lpd. Set
up samba to share to the Win95 box.
A print server will just look like a remote lpd - they are nice
if you don't plan to keep a server running all the time and they
offload some of the work, but in such a small network that probably
doesn't matter.

Subject: Pretend I'm a serial printer??
Date: 27 Dec 1998 06:54:40 GMT
Hey all,
Does anyone know how I can make a Linux box pretend that it is a serial printer??
I am setting up a print server for a small workgroup at the office and I have an old
486 at my disposal to install RedHat on. I am planning on commandeering a laserjet
from our supervisor's office. The only problem is that the supervisor insists that he
needs the (nearly useless) MSDOS 286 that the printer is currently connected to to
generate his (equally useless) proposals.
The supervisor's 286 has no network card, and I will probably not be allowed to
install any additional software on his machine...he is somewhat protective of his
space. The only way the workgroup gets it's printer is to have him be able to print to
the linux box without networking.
Of course, I am kinda dense so I may not be seeing all the options. If you have any
ideas I would appreciate hearing them.
Thanks in advance,
Ian Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

The following command works for me. You might want to try it:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdxx /mnt/cdrom
where xx is the drive and the partition (ex. My PC is /dev/hdc1 where CDROM is
primary drive on secondary controller).

Hi Preston,
I have a similar problem .... even though I had set the "defaultroute" option
for PPP, I wasn't getting a default route for my ppp0 interface
(automagically). I found that if I manually "route add default ppp0" when I
establish my PPP connection, then everything works .... I think that's pretty
ugly and now I'm trying to figure out how to make it happen fast and
automatically.
One other thing I encountered in my syslog .... an apparent error message
like "Unsupported protocol (0x802b) received .... not replacing existing
default route to eth0 [192.168.1.254]" .... and a little digging has me
believing that the 802b protocol is IPX .... which I don't need .... but I
can't seem to get it out of the way .... so I, like you, am still searching
....

Jon Hartman
