No drivers required -- your modem (a Cisco 675) will be connected to
a NIC in your box using a 10BaseT crossover cable, assuming you chose
the external RADSL modem anyway.

I don't run RH5.2 yet (4.2 now), but also often use different IP
configurations.
I changed pcmcia software a few times, and like the /etc/pcmcia way
of doing things. My laptop is booted with loadlin, from a config.sys
menu with the linux ip configs most often used, all they do is give a
parameter "iparam=xyz" on the loadlin. In linux the parameter is used
to copy the desired network.opts and hosts files to /etc/pcmcia and
/etc before cardmgr is started, as soon as linux is up it runs ok.
Another shell script changes the same files and runs "cardctl eject;
cardctl insert" for runtime changes, but depending how involved the
networking (DNS, NFS, NIS,..) was this sometimes fails.

I doubt if RH5.2 can used as flexibly                     -job

The most likely culprit is DNS. One of the internal systems is
requesting a an IP address and the DNS server needs to go out for it.

If you watch the internal interface for packets destined for the gateway
you might catch the reason.

This is harder. I too have noticed that the filtering is only available
on BSD boxes which is frustrating since my link stays up as people try
to access port  13223/udp all day long. I wish that I could filter that
crap out of keeping the link alive.

Patrick,

Have you tried using the demand-dial option of pppd? This will cause the
link to come up when needed and dies after all traffic has stopped.

In your options file, add


demand
idle 900

To have the link die after 15 minutes of idle time.

Subject: Linux better than NT 4.0 for file and print?
Date: Wed, 06 Jan 1999 17:10:11 GMT

I'm hoping to get some good suggestions for what I'm thinking of doing, I'm
sure someone has done this before...

I currently run file and printer sharing through a Digital Prioris Server
5166 running Windows NT 4.0 SP3.  Attached to that box is a Digital
StorageWorks RAID array.  The box has it's own RAID controller and the server
has an Adaptec SCSI controller in it for the RAID.  Overall, it's a pretty
standard config. The server is a p166 with 512Mb of RAM.

The problem:  Printing services are often quite slow, as with file serving
especially during higher volume time periods.  I routinely see the CPU at over
50% peaking to 100% and the RAM useage climbs to about 400mb.  To be fair, the
network does see too much activity, but I know it's not totally to fault for
the bad performance.

The MS Solution:  Buy a big whoop-ass server for a lot of money, but NT 4.0
for it, then buy NT 2000 in a year when that comes out so I'm y2k compliant.

Well, I don't care much for the MS solution.  I've never been very pleased
with MS servers because of reliability problems but I'm not very familiar
with the Unix family either aside from a 'toy' Linux box I've had for about a
year. I've been running samba on my 'toy' for a while and it works well,
though I've never put it under a good load.

These are my companies needs:  This server must continue to be our file/print
server for a mix of Windows 95, NT, and Macintosh clients.  It must work well
with HP printers using HP print servers.  For example, HP 5Si/MX, 5M, III, 4p,
etc.  How well can Linux handle this?  From what I've read, it will do a great
job, but I would love to hear from someone who's done this.

A couple notes about my network:  This is one of four NT servers I've got, the
others handle Exchange, database, etc.  The file server in question is not the
primary domain controller.  My network is shared 10Mb, soon to be switched
100.  We use the typical office apps (Word, Excel, blah blah blah) and have
designers making fairly large files (10Mb to 2Gb).

A couple general questions...

My RAID drive is NTFS.  Can Linux read/write NTFS?  Can Linux understand my
current permissions structure or do I need to redo all of my permissions under
Samba?

Does Linux have anything that works like Exchange server?  I like what
Exchange does (task management, scheduling, web based outlook, etc) but like
most MS apps I've got here, it's not very stable and it's very pricey.

Thanks in advance for any help, I appreciate it.  Overall I think this could
be a fun way to test the power of Linux, I just need to make certain that
it's up to the job before I make it a mainstream OS.  I don't want to create
more problems for myself ;)

This is a classic symptom of an IRQ conflict...

Try running:

   setserial /dev/ttyS2

at a root prompt and see which IRQ *it* thinks is associated with COM3
(COM3 (dos) <=> /dev/ttyS2 <=> /dev/cua2).

You can change the interrupt associated with the serial port with

  setserial <port> irq <x>  

in your case it would be:

  setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 5

from the root prompt.

Also make sure that the serial port speed in your comm program
configuration matches the speed reported by setserial.

I had an additional problem....  My modem worked fine until I configured
my PnP sound card (via sndconfig).  It decided to grab IRQ 5 away from my
modem.  After disabling my sound card, my modem worked just fine again.

I'm still working on reconfiguring my sound card with the PnP tools so I
can use it and the modem at the same time.

I tried this: using ATX3 I was able to get the modem to dial but then it
just sat there; it looked like the modem didn't hear ANYTHING on the
line. The 28.8 kbps modem had no difficulty (same line, same cable). I
tried the diagnostic tests AT&T1 and AT&T8 and they both checked out,
although setting S18=10 NEVER made the tests timeout ... most odd. As a
last desperate measure I configured the modem via the jumpers rather
than using PnP - absolutely no difference. I am currently at a loss ...

Cheers,
Chris.

Jumping in on the tail end here, but are you sure that you want to be able
to telnet in as root? I have three computers on internet, and would never
want to be able to do that. What I do is login as me, then do "su" and get
in as root. Makes it more secure. But, again, I missed the first part of
this, it may be a secure network already...

Right.  That's why we have new versions.  In the past, we needed to include

In fact, if you're an ISP that offers DNS hosting service, it's
*recommended* that you use different servers for authoritative and
recursive service.  One feature of this is if a customer relocates their
DNS to another ISP, but forgets to tell you to remove it from your server,
your other customers don't get the obsolete information.

Date: Wed, 6 Jan 1999 14:54:25 -0500

Yes it is possible.  I am currently serving over 100 domains on my name
servers.  Large web hosts out there serve thousands of them.

In a nutshell, you need to create a similar zone file for the second domain
as you have for the first one.   So, you will have something like
db.mydomain.com and a db.mydomain.net.   Make sure that the named.conf file
is edited to load both zones.

You can simply point several A records or CNAMEs to one IP address.

The DNS howto may have more info on doing this.

I also highly recommend the DNS and BIND book by O'Reilly.   The 3rd edition
is out now and I hear its pretty slick.  I have been using the 2nd edition
for some time.

Are you asking it to lookup a host that has a bad dns entry?

from a shell prompt try nslookup something.you.are sure.of.com. You've
probably already done this, but couldn't hurt to point it out. Then assuming
that you can do the above, open netscape, and point at the same host. See

not the version of the ppp package with pppd.  You apparently use RH
(from the `-2' attached to the ppp package version 2.3.5), and I don't so
I'm not sure how much this will help but...

A pristine ppp-2.3.5 package comes with *.c and *.h files that are copied
into the kernel source tree during the installation process.  A known
versioning problem for 2.3.5 can prevent at least one of these pieces,
ppp.c, from being copied to the kernel source tree.  The new code is
necessary for demand dialing and when the kernel is then recompiled it
is the old code that is compiled, thus the problem you report above.

The solution for RH users may be to get a more recent patch level in
which this problem might be fixed.

Is it possible to do it?  As far as I know Mac can bind two ip on one card
with VicomSoft's Internet Gateway.  Thanks.
