This sounds like it could be an ARP problem although I don't know why it
would be happening in such a vanilla installation as yours. What do you
have the Broadcast address set to on your amiga? (use ifconfig to show
you this). It should be, in your case, 192.168.0.255.

I had the same problem with an OC-3136, on ONE of my machines. On the
other, it worked just fine.

With the 3136, this works *most* of the time. Once in a while I'll
start the machine up, and have to drop the interface, unload the module,
reload it, and bring the interface up again.
I did notice that my MAC address has -00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 appended
to the end of it when I look with ifconfig - but on the other machine
(the one that works), it looks fine.
I spent several hours on the phone with Olicom, but neither of us
figured it out. I guess I can live with it.

Look at what actually starts in inetd.conf when you do this. Tcpd
is going to try to reverse-resolve the address to check against
hosts.allow, hosts.deny and to log the name. You should either
put all of your local addresses in your /etc/hosts file or
run a nameserver with forward and reverse mapping.

In fact we are looking foward to build a server for the department. But instead
of buying a complete serveur (like a multi-processor) we thought that it would
be interesting to have 3-5 PC (PII300-400) with Linux but considered as a single

Am I correct ? Is this the definition of a cluster?

Brian,
There are a couple of options here the one I recommend is getting a copy of
ncftpd from
www.ncftp.com the server for Linux is free. If you don't want to do that just
install the package wu-ftpd-2.4.2b15-5.i386.rpm from RedHat. I do recommend that
you read the FAQ though as there are some security problems with the Washington
University version if not setup correctly.

this can be, however, this isn't really what beowulf clusters are aiming
for. what you could do, however, is use a dns round robin to distribute
people logging in among the various machines.

Sounds like a half-duplex nix card and a full-duplex nic card somewhere in that

You'll need to invoke tcpdump the right way - tcpdump -lni eth0 (or whatever
name your network interface has). I also wanted to reccomend that if this does
look like arp, you could insert a static arp entry in the arp table for one of
the other machines and see if that makes a difference for you.

Make sure your NISDOMAIN is not "(none)" and that you are correctly setting it
at boottime with domainname. IE: Your NIS master must has it's domainname set
(the NIS domain name, not the DNS domain name. Look at the man page for
domainname) to something, and must be running ypserv and ypbind. Your NIS
clients must also use domainname to set their nis domain name, and must be
running ypbind. Check out /var/log/messages and see if you see any funny
messages from ypbin on your client.

I installed samba and (I guess this makes sence) it helps keep the
connection alive or at least makes it last longer. But still intimitantly
stops. When things are working I see via TCPDUMP things like arp who-has
192.168.0.3 (my win98box) tell 192.168.0.1
arp reply 192.168.0.3 is at
0:40:f6:d4:28:6d
So I guess ARP is working correctly.
I am really beginning to put my suspicion to the network driver for the
hydra card. But I would of expected a patch by now...but when linux boots
and it finds my card it says hydra driver v2.1 BETA.... but its been the
same version almost ever since Linux was ported.

With the help of proxyarp I've got each machine on a pppd link (like
A2 ang B2 below) talking to worksations networked to the other one.
What routing do I need to enable end-to-end talk from a workstation
all the way to one of the workstations beyond the other end of the
ppp?
A1 B1
| |
A2 ----ppp----- B2
| |
A3 B3
The A's are networked, the B's are networked, A2 and B2 are ppp'd. B1
and B3 can ping as far as A2 but cannot penetrate to the "interior"
workstations A1 and A3. Conversely for the A's talking to the B's.
I'd want A1 and A3 to have routes through to B1 and B3: and B1/B3 back
through to A1/A3.

Check to see if you can dial out using minicom. You might need to
change the device you are using for the modem, e.g., /dev/cua1,
/dev/cua2, whatever.
If you have a PnP modem, you will need to set that up with isapnp tools,
first.
Use the network configuration tool to set up the ppp stuff, but also
check the config files to make sure that they were set up right (I don't
wholly trust GUI configurators. . .), and check to box for allowing
users to activate the interface.
The command to use in RH to start the ppp connection is "ifup". This is
for any network interface, actually. So, for ppp, it would be "ifup
ppp0" for the first (or only) ppp device.

Hello Tristan,
In order for you to connect outside the internet, you should have either a
IP forwarding program,
a firewall or a proxy server. I am currently using a firewall. It is called
TIS FWTK which can be
downloaded from www.tis.com. For details read the Firewalling and Proxy Server
HOWTO. Also,
you need to setup IP masquerading. For details read the IP Masquerade
mini-HOWTO. I hope this
helps.
Anyway, I have a question for you. I can't setup my Windows 98 client to
login with my Linux
Server. I did the same settings I used with WIndows 95 clients but it won't
work. Could you help
me in setting up Windows 98 so that it can logon in Linux thru Samba?
Thanks

Check out mgetty which is "getty for modems" and works with ppp
