Back when I had an ibm.net account, which i used exclusively with a
notebook computer that booted OS/2 and Win95 (job took me on the road a
lot), which lapsed about a year ago, it was usinet.username
If you like, I can ask. I have a friend who works at IBM Global
Services.
> Is "advantis" some kind of ppp-server or...?
"Advantis" was what ibm.net used to call itself when it was a
cooperative between IBM and Sears. it stands for something - I believe
the va is Value Added and the IS is IBM and Sears, but I don't remember
the rest. IBM provided the actual equipment, infrastructure, and
software - Sears provided the customer service. This ended roughly 2
years ago, I think. Maybe 3.
IBM Global Services just sold their infrastructure to AT&T for several
billion dollars. You might find yourself a Worldnet customer soon. But
it's unclear - IBM still intends to sell services, but AT&T gets to own
the actual network. I don't get it. But 6 billion is 6 billion. More
than I'll ever make.

Hi all.
I have just bought a 5.1 GB hard drive and while setting it up the
Bios warned to set it to normal and not large for Unix.
I partitioned it to 3 drves under 2 GB, will this work?
I have read that this duel booting can be tricky.
Can anyone point me to a website detailing this proceedure please.
I am yet to get Linux and associated books and am trying to prepare
for when I get them.
I need this info for my Tech course next year.
Thanks if you can help.

ibm.net is one of the funkier internet providers. For starters, I can
tell you that the username it's looking for is going to be
"usinet.foobar" where foobar is your account name.
Other than that, I'd say to look for a faq somewhere. try searching
altavista for advantis + linux, or something along those lines.

I'd been trying to get my connection to IGS to work for several weeks,
thought I was having CHAP problems(actually MSCHAP). I knew about the
"unusual" login id format, internet.my_account.my_userid and the chap
secrets format. It worked from Windoze 98 but not from Linux - slack 3.5.
Same symptomology as you, serial line connection established then hangup.
Didn't seem to even try any sort of authentication. On re-reading the
documentation for MSCHAP80, I noticed that I'd overlooked a comment that
mentioned the server required that your dial up script send "CLIENT" after
receiving "CONNECT" otherwise it would just hang up. Bingo, OTOH performace
is so crappy that I see better response time dialing my ISP then telneting
through our firewall - mostly X traffic.

Date: Sat, 02 Jan 1999 06:35:27 GMT
Thanks for taking a look. I think the ethernet card is correctly installed,
as I get the message on bootup that shows the card has been detected.
When I ping a site, no packets are returned or detected.
I've got the cable modem working under Win98, and I've tried to load in the
proper information via the netconf utility under RH 5.2. As I understand it,
my netcard is meant to communicate with my cable modem, which then connects
through a gateway to a pair of dns servers. I've been given the following
configuration settings via my service provider (who claims not to support
Linux):
Computer IP
SubNet mask
Sub Domain
DNS (Host)
Broadcast IP
Default Gateway
CDM Net Mask
Primary DNS IP
Secondary DNS IP
Mail Server
Proxy Server
Directory Server
News Server
Head End
Node.
I think I'm having a problem understanding what fields get these values
entered, as the names are somewhat different, or missing.
I'm also somewhat confused by the several possible places to enter the
information, and the possiblity of interaction between them, ie, LinuxConf
vs Net Conf, vs Control panel Network settings.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I'm definately on the newbie
level after only a couple week of using Linux and KDE.
Thanks

This is the second time I've said this today.
ipautofw is an experimental feature. It is not included in stock
kernels as a matter of course. You will need to have recompiled your
kernel with it enabled. When configuring the kernel, unless you specify
that you want to prompted for experimental features, it won't even offer
it to you.
You didn't specify that you had recompiled with this option enabled, so
we are forced to ask you.
Did you compile your kernel with ipautofw support?

Subject: ipfwadm and insane byte counters
Date: Sat, 02 Jan 1999 06:37:27 GMT
I recently setup a filtering firewall. I added accounting rules for each
host on the network so I could watch how much bandwidth each was using.
I added the accounting rules like this:
ipfwadm -A -f
ipfwadm -A in -i -S 0.0.0.0/0 -D hostname
ipfwadm -A out -i -S hostname -D 0.0.0.0/0
etc. for each host.
I left it running over the weekend. This morning, ipfwadm -A -l tells
me...
5566 488K out all hostname anywhere n/a
6518K 3889M in all anywhere hostname n/a
3.89 gigs? I'm sure that couldn't have gone out over the weekend. No one
was even using that computer. Other computers have similar crazy entries.
The output of ipfwadm -F -l -e seems more normal:
1891K 288M acc all -k-- 0xFF 0x00 any any anywhere anywhere
288 megs sounds more like the right total for all hosts. So does anyone
know how ipfwadm -A -l could report 3.89 gigs transferred?

I was in a similiar boat when I installed about a month ago. Everyone
assumes that setting up a dual boot is a really
arduous, time consuming process. I guarantee you you'll be quite
pleasantly surprised how simple it is... especially once
you've had a while to digest what you'll learn in the process. This
process is VERY simple if you have a
hard drive especially for linux, all you have to do is get in installed
to where the kernel can see it, and then follow
the directions when installing your distrib. You just gotta take the
plunge.

==================
PC/X - Linux install FAQ
How to install a PC/X non-intelligent card under Linux:
Determine the IO ports to be used, the PC/16 has IO ports fixed by PAL chips.
The 4 and 8 port versions and the ClassicBoards are configurable.
Determine the IRQ for the board
For each port issue
"setserial /dev/ttyS[#] ^fourport port [IO] irq [IRQ] uart [UART]"
Issue
"setserial /dev/ttyS[first#] set_multiport port1 [IO] mask1 0xf match1 0xf"
for the control port on a four port board.
Use 0xff for 8 ports, or 0xffff for 16 ports.
Use port2, mask2, match2 for a second board.
Done!
[NOTE: the first Digi port should be ttyS4 or higher on most systems.]
=====================
The setserial commands are how you tell Linux that the ports are there,
the "set_multiport" option is used to activate the control/status register.

Subject: Socket xmit out of sequence?
Date: Sat, 02 Jan 1999 06:38:27 GMT
How can I guarantee that writes to an AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM socket will
arrive in sequence? I thought it was *always* guaranteed, but apparently
not.
I'm sending a batch of writes - in a test case, 7 - and occasionally, the
first write is read last, while the second through sixth are read in order.
That is, messages 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 are read 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ,7 and 1.
This will persist for several batches, then will be sent correctly.
My current application code calls for a re-send when the reads are out
of order.
I *could* re-structure the application to work around this, but it seems
there is something to learn about sockets here ;->
Thanks,
David

Subject: Re: IP router/masq?
Date: Sat, 02 Jan 1999 06:35:39 GMT
I'm doing the same thing right now, only not for 16 computers. It's actually
a fairly simple process. First, of course, you need to have the linux box set
up and connected to the internet, and all the computer wired together. Then
you'll want to set up IP Masquerading. It's a part of the linux firewall
functionality of the kernel. Depending on your linux, you may have the kernel
configured for this, otherwise you'll have to recompile it to add support.
Anyway, IP Masquerading bascially takes the headers that come from the other
computers on the network, and rewrites them to make it seem like they come
from the gateway computer and not the actual computer they came from, since
those don't have resolvable IP's. The downside of this is that nothing can
reach the network computers directly, so you can't run any internet services
on them. The other option would be to set up a proxy using socks. This would
allow outside computers to reach the network computers, but it would limit
what can get out. Proxy's work on the application level, meaning that in
order to use the connection, the application has to support proxies, which
limits what you can use. Anyway, check out the IP Masquerading Howto at
metalabs.unc.edu/LDP, or if you're looking for a more thourough reference, I
recommend the book The Linux Network by Butzen and Hilton, published by M&T
Books.

Subject: Problem with D-Link Ethernet cards
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have a problem with a batch of D-Link Ethernet cards.
Previous similar cards worked fine under Linux (1.2 and 2.0, Slackware
and Red Hat) as well as Win 3.11 and NT4. However, these newer ones are
nothing but trouble.
They nominal model name is DE 220 - this is an ISA 10BaseT / 10Base2
card. The silkscreen on the board is DE220P[C|T] REV-D1, and gives FCC
ID KA2APC260P0
Is this a known problem, or have I got a couple of bad boxes?
