Hi there,
I have really pathetic ppp transfer speed. It's so bad that I can't download
the available noewsgroups from my ISP because slrn times off! I couldn't
download a 300k text file from the ppp server on the other end in 1/2 an
hour! My modem's 'receive' LED hardly ever liights up. 'ifconfig ' reports
about 12-20% frame loss in the receive direction, but the speed is
incredibly slow. Browsing the www is next to impossible.
I only know that the linux setup is wrong, because I tried to use window's
dial-up-networking, and data started to come through the connection with
'amazing' speed. I downloaded the newsgroup list in less than 5 mins, and in
20 min's about 2 Mb data came through. I'm desperate. I haven't used windows
for over a year, I don't want to do it again just for networking. Please
somebody help me!
I've got a 33.6k 'noname' modem, Red Hat 5.0 (with the kernel sources that
came with it (can't recall the version)), and it runs on a 486 based box.
I'm also running masquarading, sambe, named, apache, sendmail, and who knows
what, and serving a small home LAN, with no problem whatsoever. I re-read
(scanned through) every possible relevant on-line docs (NAG, PPP-HOTO,
etc.), but couldn't find any help on where to look for the problem, what the
set. Everybody's help would be greatly appreciated!
Since I can't read news using my linux, please cc your answers to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] .
TIA,
Akos

If you're using Red Hat Linux, upgrade to 5.2. That fixes it.
Otherwise, you might have to download the latest Vortex
driver and install it into your kernel.

Date: Tue, 29 Dec 1998 21:38:20 -0500
Well folks I've just built myself a brand shinny new server with Redhat
5.2. I just went nuts and told it to install EVERYTHING, and now want
very much to get PHP3 and CGI working which it has, and from my
understanding of things should be all set to go... However, I can't
seem to make it go... PHP3 appears to be configured from the box as an
apache module, I've added the appropriate AddType declaration but no
go... Apache is working just fine, but I'm a bit puzzled about the
rest... I'd really rather NOT re-install Apache, PHP3 and PostgreSQL
just to get PHP3 working... My thinking is that "Out of the box it
should work if I configure it correctly, just that the DOCS are all
speaking about a configuration DIFFERENT than the way RedHat does it
when one installs 5.2...
ANY help would be appreciated...

I am having a problem with symbolic links with Apache on Redhat 5.2. I
created a link in /home/httpd/html called ora-doc to /usr1/app/oracle/doc.
When I enter ora-doc in the browser I go the the correct directory and all
the files there are displayed - but - when I click on a html file the source
is displayed instead of the document. What is going on here?
FollowSymLinks is set in access.conf.

If I understand you correctly, your chat program tries to set up
direct peer-to-peer connections. This can work through NAT (aka Masq),
but only if the chat program uses the scheme detailed at
http://alumni.caltech.edu/~dank/peer-nat.html
and only if it uses UDP. It just plain won't work with TCP, I think.

Try changing the /etc/conf.modules

alias eth1 3c509
Asuming the first card is Intel Etherexpress Pro 100 (+) and the second card
is 3Com 509 based.
If all the IRQ are okay, you should be all set.
If you know the IO and IRQ for the cards, try adding them as "options".

Subject: Redhat 5.1 @home... SIOCADDRT uh huh?
Date: Wed, 30 Dec 1998 02:44:04 GMT
Folks,
I am calling out the those who know a great deal more about networking
than I do. I have run across a problem that I can't correct and it's
driving me nuts. I want my linux machine back!!! I have installed
more than a few linux distributions on my PC over the last two years
with out any problems up to this point. I will try and be as brief and
thorough as possible.
Problem: No outbound Connectivity, I am able to ping my own ip,
loopback, and broadast address, but nothing else. Upon boot all the
hardware seems to be ok. The PC light on my cable modem lights up, if I
put the feed into a hub it lights up so I assume the card is working.
My physical connection is good, I can use my windows98 machine on the
modem and it works fine. This leans to pilot error on the linux install.
When I boot up now, I see two error messages. The first is (SIOCADDRT)
invalid argument. The second comes up when httpd starts, it tells me
it's unable to resolve the hostname. I assume the httpd error will
clear up once the network is usable again.
I used netconf to supply my networking information as provided to me by
Cox @home. (this has always worked in the past, nothing special was
needed during or after the install)
When I type route the machine just hangs there with two entries and
never brings out the gateway address with should be 24.0.132.1
When I invoke Route this is what I see
Destination Gateway Genmake flag metric ref useiface
24.0.132.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 1 lo
=======this line hangs and returns nothing======================
I am about at my wits end, after running linux for a couple of years
windows just seems dead and lifeless, but it's the only working machine
I have at the moment. I know mail accounts or web hosting is not that
big of a thing but I will gladly provide either (or any other network
service that won't get me kicked off @home) for anyone that can give me
an answer to this.
Many thanks in Advance,
Brad

Thanks! That just what i needed.
This must have been the fastes answers ever. I had the answer 'bout ten
second after I posted the question, incredible.
If I have understood fetchmail correct (not likely)it by default it
downloads mail to the current ~/mail (home directory) but how can I make the
mail get in different directories for different users. I have at least one
account at the internet POP-server for every user on the LAN so the easiest
way would be if I could specify where it should store the mail for each
fetchmail connection, or do I have to use procmail for that?

In the past, using AOL 3, I have connected to AOL then minimized and run
Eudora and Netscape to surf the net. That would tell me that they are
using tcp/ip and it may be possible to run Linux on a home lan behind a
proxy on the PC running AOL.
Why on earth you would _want_ to do that is beyond me.

Do you have ISDN support in the kernel? If not, you will have to

This is a message saying you are out of "RAM" not disk space. Do you
have any swap space allocated or are you just using your physical

Try setting the values of mru and mtu to 552 in /etc/ppp/options:
mru 552
mtu 552
Also, I have had some success with a kernel module called irqtune which
you can download from your favourite ftp site. Documentation is included
in the package

I connect to Earthlink, and while there are a lot of hassles to get
things right, most of the problems I've had are fairly subtle.
You're sure you received the IP? Once you get to that point, you
should at least be able to do something. Does /sbin/ifconfig list
ppp0 at any point? Does /var/log/messages (or maybe some other
syslogd-created file) actually state that you have an IP address (it
should)?
Do you have an ip-up script (or anything other than config files in
/etc/ppp)? If so, get rid of it for now.
Make sure that you start up ppp with as little as possible running.
The idea is to make sure that nothing is trying to send anything down
your connection.
What version of pppd are you running? Does it match what is compiled
into your kernel?
Post your /etc/ppp/options file.

Certain specific lengths of network cable can also cause
these symptoms. I don't recall the value of the length
multiple that one should always try to avoid, but some
searching re: network cabling should turn it up.

I saw an IP that wasn't mine once, and this last time both IPs (from and to)
were the same and they were my own IP, although I don't think anything should

The only user that logs in to this machine is me, so far. I'm not running
