If the cards are pci, then there SHOULD be a utility supplied by your PC vendor
to set the base addresses and irqs for your cards so they don't conflict. I bet
that they do. Unfortunately, some vendors supply pcs without such configuration
tools.
For example, a Dell P133 (I have one... I know) from 95-96 era does not
supply this pci config software. See Donald Becker's Vortex page located
at http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/ for more about that.. As is suggested
there, you CAN swap the cards around in the pci slots. This should
sort out the addresses and irqs for you (worked for me!).
If you have a 3Com509B ISA card, it can be configured by getting the latest
source from Mr. Becker's site (or from a recent vendor distribution?) and
compile the driver code into the kernel (I couldn't make it go compiling the
driver as
a module ... your mileage may vary). I compiled version 1.16 of 3c509.c (see
comment in top of the source file). You will want to follow the instructions
found
at the cesdis.nasa.gov site for this card to set the addl parameters in your
lilo.conf
file that will allow you to set an irq and base address that the intel card IS
NOT
using (and none of your other cards use either).
Good luck.

I believe you can do this with the squid proxy server.

I use the c-mserver and ipfwadm at the linux end. I intalled tkmasqdial
for the linux boxen and Charles Wright's WNT/95 client on the Win boxen.
For more info see:
http://metalab.unc.edu/mdw/HOWTO/mini/IP-Masquerade.html
http://cpwright.villagenet.com/mserver/
TkMasqdial is available as an RPM at:
http://rufus.w3.org/linux/RPM/index.html
This assumes you have a working ppp dial-up connection...

Nope. The DHCP server is Linux and has been working for a year and a
half.
Since it is only happening to 2 systems out of 30 , it has something to
do
with those 2 systems.

Normally I do, but occasionally they ask for a email response. It's a pain

I think Redhat uses the system v -ish way of booting. The equivalent of
rc.inet1 and rc.inet2 (used in other distributions like Slackware) are
files under /etc/init.d which are then linked to a file in an /etc/rc#.d
directory where # is the relevant run level. For networking this would
probably be rc3.d. Look for files called "inet" something in
/etc/init.d.
As for resolv.conf, this is normally under /etc, but does not
necessarily exist in a new installation. Just create it.

I shouldn't have to. One day this particular system works, the next day
it
isn't. I have 30 other Windoze95 systems working just fine. Nothing has
changed about the network. It's something with these 2 particular
systems.
The problem with them occured months apart. I would start tinkering with
the DHCP regitry settings, but the systems are 200 miles from me.

oh, this blows. I had planned to install a Linux box at home to act as a
firewall/gateway (using a cablemodem) and also as a file server with
shared directories between a Mac (OS 8.1) and a PC (Win98) laptop, using
samba and netatalk. Guess the fileserver portion of this setup won't work
then??

I have installed RH5.2 . I tried to telnet to this Linux Box using root
account but the system refused to let me in even I have given the correct
password (HP-UX Box can do that). It is only successful when I telnet with
another user name and then su to root. Is there any setting in Linux which

Hi,
I've tried, the chroot works with the guestgroup thing turned on for the
group, but the thing is that now I can't list the contents of the directory.
I can upload/download, make directories but can't list the contents. Do you
know how I can solve that problem?
Thanks

Remove the "mru 552" and pppd will default to mru 1500 which should
avoid the mru controversy. The ISP appears unable to transmit anything
but frames of length 1500.

You can mount a drive as type vfat and it works great, you even get the
long file names. Just do something like this:
mount -t vfat /dev/hda5 /mnt/somewhere
The only problem that I have had with this so far is that windoze allows
spaces in their long filenames. Linux doesn't seem to like this. I
can't do something like 'cd Program Files'. Maybe there is a way around
this?

Ooops. My fault guys. I had overlooked the options.ttyC0 (I had changed this
in all others, 'xcept that one), but what I had as the first line was the
actual names of the dial-up computer and the name of the dial-in computer.
So the 1st line read something like,
dialin:dialup
instead of,
192.168.0.92:192.168.3.1
But, got it working now ;-)
If anyone uses netbeui for Win95 clients, you'll need a file called lmhosts
with the DNS listed by IP, then name, and also to setup the WINS server
before you'll get anything.

. . . that's not 100% accurate.
Like I said, the "closest" option is -bsdcomp.
With this option, ppp-2.2 will not initiate CCP by itself.
But, it might (sorry, never checked this part first hand)
misbehave with CCP and no algorithm if the peer attempts something
with CCP first.
That's the result from the ppp-2.2 installation I still have
running on SunOS 4.1.1_U1.

UMAX Scan Manager uses a proprietary scanner access protocol layered
over the NetBIOS protocol. I think it would be more practical to forget
about UMAX Scan Manager for the server and write a TCP/IP-based server
(for WinNT or 9x, if that's where you want to connect the scanner) that
talks to the sane-net client on the Linux workstation. The SCSI protocol
for the UMAX 610S is documented in the UMAX SCSI SDK which can be
downloaded from ftp://ftp.umax.co.uk/pc/utils/devsup/umaxsdkscsi.zip .
