Good advice, but you forgot one thing.......caching nameserver won't do a thing
w/out a named.conf in your /etc directory........here is mine.
just copy and paste
later

// Config file for caching only name server
options {

// Uncommenting this might help if you have to go through a
// firewall and things are not working out:

};

Admin? Try Tkined, the graphical network tool inside Scotty.
And the Big Brother or SPong network monitors.
It sounds like you have to look at some of the Linux
application indexes which are on the Web. Do a Web search
for "Linux network administration" and you will find a starting
point. (I just skimmed the results and saw several places to start,
from each major search tool)

OK, see the Linux Documentation Project (LDP) Network Administrator's
Guide (NAG). With Red Hat, you'll probably see them mentioned on the
Netscape starting page.

Samba lets you share files and printers, but that's routine.
What is "neat" depends upon your preferences. Feeding the
campus radio station to the LAN? Got data from.. Oh, just
browse the Linux applications lists for interesting tools to
inspire whatever your interests are.

Hi Rob,
There are a few things to check. First of all make sure your default
gateway is correct. If your network is not connected to other networks
through a router you do not need a default gateway. Red Hat pokes an
address in during installation and many people don't remove it if it is not
needed. Most IP services will pause and timeout waiting for the nonexistant
default gateway to respond (even if you are not using it at the moment).
Does your Linux system pause for a very long time on sendmail or other
daemons while booting as well? If it does then your host name is probably
not resolving to an IP address in /etc/hosts. Make sure there is a line in
/etc/hosts that looks like this............
<your.IP.address> <your.host.name>
By convention, this entry should be the second entry in /etc/hosts with
127.0.0.1 being the first. Red Hat 5.1 had a problem with this right out of
the box. I don't know if it was fixed in 5.2 as I upgraded and did not do a
fresh installation. These are the most common causes of the problem you
have described. Please let me know if this does not work. I like to keep
track of problems like this.

Subject: Problem with Ascend Pipeline 130 ISDN/T1 router
Date: Sat, 02 Jan 1999 06:43:38 GMT
I just spend a couple of weeks trying to find out why my new ISDN
lines/router/ISP lines were disconnecting intermittently.
The problem was that the ISDN lines sometimes had bad connections,
causing CRC errors. The Pipeline software (bi.p13, 6.1.7) counts these
CRC errors and displays them on the status screen. According to their
TAC engineer, this "buffer fills up" (which I interpret to mean
"variable overflows") and locks up the router, requiring a manual reset
or a power-cycle, followed by a manual restart of the connection.
Not exactly what I had in mind for a reliable connection -- rather like
driving along the road, and getting too many bugs on the windshield,
causing the engine to freeze up!
Hope this posting saves someone else some trouble-shooting time.

Actually, it's pretty easy to set up use. One of the problems is that
a lot of people are either (1) using an unofficial version of Red Hat
which doesn't come with their book (which explains the process), or (2)
too impatient to read the book in the first place.
Maybe a lot of people don't understand that "dial-up networking" and
"ppp" are the same thing, so perhaps Linux distribution makers simply
need to provide a "Windows-user translation" for some things. :-)

Subject: plip and bpq
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Sat, 02 Jan 1999 06:41:54 GMT
Hi.
I'm using Linux with ax.25 and bpq support. Everything works fine but
now I want to enable plip as well and use bpq from my Linux box to a
DOS box via a paralell cable. Is it possible to talk "bpq" on the plip
interface?
I've set up the plip as a stand-alone network and I can ping the
network. Of course I don't get any replies. I can see (yes see) the
plip interface is working on a monitor software on the DOS box. That
is ping sends data but the bpq0 interace does not!
Here's the story:
Linux is set up with plip ax.25 bpq (kiss for the radio port) etc.
Working frie!
The DOS box is set up with pipx an ODI driver for paralell cable
connection. Hence I have lsl.com pipx.com and odidrv.com to drive the
BPQ4.08a switch.
Now everything is working just fine. Both boxes sends data but they do
not understand each other!!! The DOS box is speaking ETHERNET_II
frames. Why don't the bpq0 interface pick up the frames? I have had
big time problems with the bpq interface as well. I can't get the bpq0
interface to transmit on the plip. When a frame is picked up by the
pipx driver a light flash so I can see when a frame is received.
Ok, bpq on Linux transmits on ethernet address ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
(broadcast). Doesn't that include ALL interfaces on the computer? I
would say a frame to ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff would be transmitted to all
ethernet interfaces, right?
The plip interface is point-to-point. Is it possible to change that?
The P-t-P interface could be smart enough to filter out frames not
addressed to the other end, even frames to broadcast...
Any help would be apreciated.
Cheers
Bob.

Subject: dual PII hang recover methods?
Date: Sat, 02 Jan 1999 06:41:55 GMT
I have a dual Pentium Intel DK440LX motherboard running RedHat.
Under heavy network load, after many hours the ethernet driver will
die. I think this is a known problem. The driver is eepro100 version
1.05 and the kernel is a monolithic build of version 2.0.30.
We donot see this problem when the DK440LX has only one Pentium
installed.
When the driver dies, we will see either a SMP or a Tx timeout error
message just before it dies, but the message alone does not
guarantee the driver is down.
What is the best way to detect and recover from this problem?
1. Is there any way to test that the ethernet driver is
working correctly? Maybe some ioctl call?
We tried pinging the driver's port with its IP address, but it still
responds when the driver is known to be down.
2. Should building the driver as a module and when
the driver dies unload, reload and restart the driver work?
Any help is appreciated.

Right, like we want a message box popping up hundreds of time during the
day at seemingly random places asking us if we want to connect to the
Internet, even when we're doing totally arbitrary things that seem to
have nothing to do with the Internet .. riiiight.
Setting up ppp under Linux isn't that hard (especially using something
like linuxconf with redhat; KDE's ppp configurator also looks quite easy
to use but I haven't tried it myself) .. the only thing is, you have to
understand a few basics about networking on Linux first.
I definitely agree with you though that setting it up under Windows is
much easier under Linux, since one doesn't have to know nearly as much.
But I think many of the reasons have little to do with the technical
aspects of MS's implementation; there are other factors, like end-user
software that practically sets it up for you, from ISP's etc.
I HATE those annoying message boxes that keep popping up in Windows. I
prefer to tell the OS when *I* want to go on, and tell it again when *I*
want to stop. Hmm .. I seem to remember there was a way to turn this
behaviour off, at least in Win95 .. not sure about 98 .. either way it
doesn't bother me since I almost never use Windows any more.

Date: Sat, 02 Jan 1999 06:39:41 GMT
Hi Folks,
I'm having my first attempt to get the RedHat packaging variation of
ppp working and am not having a good time. We have a client with an NT
server with PAP security. Our login on this system is PGMR (uppercase)
with password, say password, We connect fine using windows dialup
services, but want to get things running on our Linux server so as to
use our central modem bank, and to allow remote internet based support
from overseas.
I am using a DigiBoard PC/Xem (the four way board) and the Rembrandt
release of Linux with ppp 2.2.0.
Following the PPP-HOWTO I have done as follows:
Set up /etc/ppp/options as follows:
lock
name PGMR
Set up /etc/ppp/pap-secrets as follows:
PGMR <IP of Customer Host> password
Attached with minicom so as to set up the modem:
ate1q0
at&k3
ats0=0
atdt<phone no>
This connects OK, and we get no gibberish on the screen. This is what
you would expect of a PAP connection.
I then exit without disconnecting from minicom (<CTRL>a q) and issue:
pppd -d -detach /dev/ttyD1 38400 &
As soon as this command is issued the modem disconnects. The message
log gives only the following information:
kernel: PPP line discipline registered.
kernel: registered device ppp0
pppd[21172] : pppd 2.2.0 started by root, uid 0
pppd[21172] : Using interface ppp0
pppd[21172] : Connect : ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyD1
pppd[21172] : Modem hangup
pppd[21172] : Connection terminated.
pppd[21172] : Exit.
Not very useful for debugging!
Am I missing something obvious?

Forget it, I downloaded it from Apache UK, and I am sitting here with a
smile on my face after untarring it and using the quick method of
building it.
It feels good to make make install an Apache server :-)
Should I have uninstalled the original Apache Server first?

Subject: NIS binding failure
Date: Sat, 02 Jan 1999 06:43:24 GMT
I am running RedHat 5.2 and have setup the NIS server and and NIS client on
two different machines. After making the NIS server files and starting the
server I ran the YPBINF command on the client. After doing so ypwhich says
the domain is not bound. If i use the -h and -d options with yppoll it will
retrieve information from the server. If I don't use the -h and -d it cannot
connect to the server. I conclude that the server and client are talking but
I have missed something in the documentation which is not binding me to the
domain. Can anyone point me to a troublshooting FAQ?

Subject: corrupted Netware disk
Date: Sat, 02 Jan 1999 06:45:15 GMT
Yesterday we had a harddisk crash on our Netware 3.12 system.
It's, off course the disk with the data we needed for today.
We tried to mount the disk in a Linux system. Allthough Linux
supports the Netware file system, it doesn't want to mount it,
the well-known masterblock error.
Does anyone know of utilities to read & repair that disk under Linux?
We could also try to run a Netware server on Linux (Samba), and then
access it through ncp. Is there anyone with experience in the field?
