Hi. Have a network dominated by that 'other' operating system. How can I
get a linux box to show up in the 'Network Neighborhood' of Windows 95 &
Windows NT? I have a Pentium on the network running the 2.0.27 kernel of
Redhat. The SMB package was loaded by default on this machine. Do I have
to do something with samba? /etc/exports?
Thanks in advance....

Wow, I remember hooking up VT52s to our old network of Sun2s when my
roommates and I started setting up our first home Unix network, ten
years ago. You've got to love a terminal that you can hide a six-pack
inside, and have the system still work.
By the way, use /dev/ttyS3 -- even folks who don't consider the cua*
devices to be evil admit that they're just for callout. A terminal is
more like a modem. The getty should use /dev/ttyS3.

You can get init to re-read the init file by entering "kill -1 1" as
root. So, you don't have to reboot. This is good for tinkering.
That VT52 mention has gotten me thinking -- it should be possible to
get a really small x86 box and hide it in the VT52's "six-pack
compartment". Re-route the serial cable, set the x86 box up to use
Linux with a serial console, and you'll have a strange, standalone
VT52 that runs Linux. I'll have to go dig one out of storage somewhere...

Looking for a cool HPC, how about this ???
======================================================================
I am posting this b/c I like the Linux comm. and want everything to
know something about a piece of equipment I thought was interesting.
It's called the Dauphin DTR-1.
The unofficail Home page is:
http://www.eskimo.com/~toby/dauphin/
This link is hopelessly outdated, but with your help I'd like to
change that.
I'll get to the point.
I can get a hold of a good number of them and know that they will run
linux. Check the URL above for some info. (There is also a version
called HAL something that may work).
I am currently planning on selling these guys on eBay where they have
been going for up to $300. in the past.
My starting price for the DTR-1 and some extras is $150, but I would
go lower if someone was interested in a small quantity.
Here;s what you'd get.
* The DTR-1 a 486SLC 25 HPC/notebook computer 4mb memory, 40mb HD,
2400 Baud fax modem, VGA out port, com port, REAL par. port - will
work with zip drives! (nicer than a palmpilot)
* Detachable mini Keyboard
* Leather Case
* Battery
* A/C adaptor
* Car D/C adaptor
For my Linux friends (I mean that sincerely)
* Extra battery ($50 value)
* External charger
* Grid Hardshell case
What's missing:
*The Active pen (I can't find out where to get them 'cheaply' so if
YOU do let me know).
*The manual
Acces:
Floppy or External HD used to come as access. very hard to get and not
very nec.
Memory upgrade from 4mb to 6mb still avail.
Ethernet card also still avail.
(I will send any buyers info. on ppl. who can supply them)
You can see pictures at the URL above, eBay.com , or somewhere on
dauphintech.com .
I am very interested in getting this guy running with some small apps.
on Linux, but I'm not a programmer. I figured I'd try contributing
this way.
If interested please email me at

HiDu muss auf beiden Seiten einen Router haben, der IPIP-Tunneling macht
und auf den dasdefault-gateway gesetzt wird. Du kannst auch eine
Implementierung von IP-Sec benutzen um
einen verschluesselten und eventuell authentifizierten Verkehr zwischen
den beiden Routern
(von Netz A und B) haben willst. Sollte eigentlich kein Problem sein das
zu realisieren.
Es gibt dazu auch einen oder mehrere Artikel in der IX-Zeitschrift (keine

genau).

Subject: ftp/tcp problem
I can connect to wuftp on linux from my
winNT4 box
using a modem connection and mgetty,
but I see no directory listing . I'm
using WSftp and
have no other problems on NT. There must
be some config
that's missing for ftpd or wu-ftpd.
Netscape connects to the apache server
and transfers
fine.
When I connect using a dos window and
ftp I get
connected but the prompt sits there for
about 5
minutes before the welcome message comes
up.
after that I can log in and transfer
files
normally. Telnet is also slow
connecting.
Interesting development--
I checked the ppp0 port with tcpdump and
found that the linux box was sending
icmp packets to the win box saying
that it can't find the DNS name server.
These packets had long ttl's so that
it took about 5 minutes to establish
the ftp connection. These packets
continued
but with shorter ttl's so as to not
interfere with the ftp process. I'm not
sure where they come from (I even
deleted
my resolv config)but there must be some
bug in the DNS or resolver code.
An expert in network code needs to fix
this one, I don't see any requests from
the NT box that may be causing this!
The DNS it was looking for is my ISP's?
Stumpped??
I'm using suse 5.3 and kernel 2.0.36.

FileRunner, besides being a great file manager, also does FTP with
resume. I can't attest to its abilities as the latter though since I
haven't been able to get PPP to work.

I don't think your '/etc/isapnp.conf' is doing very much:
The only thing I can think to do is disable the PnP features of the modem
with the jumper and configure it normally. But, before i do that, here's
what isapnp says:
# isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf
Board 1 has Identity 58 f7 b5 9a a9 70 30 72 56: USR3070 Serial No

(I also see that at boot time)
Here's my /etc/isapnp.conf...(I made it from pnpdump, and just deleted all
but the first "multiple choices" :

It's not setting BASE, IRQ or much of anything. So you need to un-comment
the lines above marked with ">>" if you expect much to happen. Below i've
included my personal '/etc/isapnp.conf' so you can see what a working one
looks like. It may not be minimal, but it is sufficient for a similar USR
modem. And yes, it does answer the phone and take messages, as well as
receives faxes. The 'vgetty' software is a bit primitive, but i was able
to make it work at least minimally.

Everything below looks pretty normal to me. You can try looking
at messages in /var/log/debug, after adding the pppd debug option
should it not already be present. If no messages are there then the
/etc/syslog.conf needs configuring.
In particular check to see if anything there looks funny in the IPCP
negotiations. Sometimes there is a disagreement over IP addresses that
can cause ifconfig and route to look OK but things are actually not OK.
The ISP will give up after a while, and perhaps even agree on the IPs
but then quietly steal away. Pppd implementations have bugs and some
are outright broken.
And then again maybe I've missed something. More info = better answers.

AJ,
You have to set your card up to a specific address (i/o) and interrupt (irq).
Then when you do your network configuration, choose an ne2000 card. When you
are asked about autoprobe or set options, choose set options and then insert the
known address and irq. When you input the addr, don't forget to prepend the 0x
(i.e. 0x240)
This should get it going. You will know when you reboot.

Hello,
I have a configuration with SuSE Linux, via ethernet connected to a W95
Pc. Everything is configured as the SuSE book said (I hope ;)),
including the networkconfiguration (NIC=NE2000 clone, ip
adres=192.168.1.1, domainname=thor.myexample.com). The W95 box is also
configured (NIC=Tulip/Dec, TCP/IP protocol, ip=192.168.1.2).
Anyway, I can't get a connection from both sides (using ping). After
'ping':
- var/log/messages: "kernel: eth(): Tx timed out, cable problem?"
- proc/net/dev: lo: > 2000 packets; eth0: 0 packets
- tcpdump during ping: "arp who-has 192.168.1.2 tell thor.myexample.com"
Both hardware and software (Linux) are reinstalled twice.
BTW:
- If I connect 2 W95 boxes using the same cable, everything works fine
- I don't see any activity on the NE2000 led.
- The NE2000 has 2 connectors, I use UTP. Does Linux know which
connector is used?
- The W95 system has also tcp/ip configured for internet access (isdn).
Can anyone help me, does the NE2000 work or not? Or should I configure
anything else? Routing?? How can I test it?
thanx!
Jon Petersen
