Yes, and now for the bad news :
It's a Winmodem and will not work with Linux.
You will have to purchase a new modem :-(
It's worth it though.

LOL, don't count me in that batch. I've installed and run Slackware
many times with NO problems. On the other hand, I helped a friend with
installing RedHat 5.x and we had nothing but trouble. The thing
stopped once during install and had to be rebooted, then it proceeded
to install itself a second time right alongside the first install,
(NOT over it). We didn't realize this til we rebooted for startup and
it reported duplicate everything and proceeded to "fix" the entire
harddrive. LOL. and that's not the half of it.
I noticed it takes care of X for you, but then I like to do that
myself. If there were any other benefits, I can't remember them. I've
never had a problem with Slackware that wasn't caused by my own
stupidity. I can't say that about RedHat. If it works for you, fine,
but no thanx, no RedHat for me.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi there! I normally have the laptop (running RH 5.1) plugged into the
wall ethernet connection at my desk, for which I have a static IP address.
I can start eth0 ok, works ok (save for the SIOCADDRT invalid argument error
which I can't get rid off yet the network still functions). Occasionally I
have to take the laptop and plug it into a mobile DHCP port at another
location. Here's my question:
Is it possible to configure an alternate ethernet "connection" (would
this be an adaptor?) which would work over the same card but would use
DHCP? That is, I'd like to have both configurations done, and then be
able to manually (or automatically if possible---is it possible to detect
which protocol is "active" on the line?) switch which "mode" I'd like to
use, e.g.,
in office (using static IP address):
...
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network start eth0
...
mobile port (using DHCP):
...
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network start eth1
...
Is this possible with only one ethernet card? (Please CC: if you don't mind.)
TIA!

I have to disagree. I have had some problems with 3rd party dups of
RedHat, but, I have never had a problem with RedHat 5.0,5.1, and 5.2. I
have tried S.u.S.E. and Caldera, both produced a system that didn't work
"right" (In know subjective, but, I am expressing opinion).
RedHat worked out of the box for me. Oh, one thing, RedHat can be a
problem with SCSI main drives, but, S.u.S.E. is the only one I have seen
that produces a SCSI built kernel. (That didn't work right anyway, so I
don't know why I mentioned it.)
But, yes, I like RedHat. I am Currently running RH 5.2 with the 2.2-pre4
kernel.

FS: Cool HPCs(?) - Dauphin 486 DTR-1
======================================================================
I am reposting this b/c I am getting read to send a few out shortly
and figured I could try to save myself extra trips to the post office.
Please let me know if you're interested.
Thanks again for all the inquiries, keep 'em coming.
Ken
======================================================================
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

Date: Thu, 07 Jan 1999 05:02:46 GMT
Howdy,
I would like to set up a Linux Box as a firewall. I have
installed Redhat 5.2 on a 486 with a dial up connection and a NIC
which is on a LAN with a Win95 box. My kernal is 2.0.36 and I found
ipfwadm 2.3.0. at /sbin. I currently can ping on my LAN. From the
Linux Box I can ping my ISP and other domains with IP address and
Domain Names.
I have found many postings with advice, maybe too many. I'm
getting info overload. I would first just like to get something going
and address security later. I'm not running any servers (in).
I took this file:
==========================begin=rc.firewall=============================
#!/bin/sh
#
# /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall, define the firewall configuration, invoked
from
# rc.local.
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
# Accept icmp from trusted hosts
ipfwadm -I -a accept -P icmp -S 125.179.213.0/24 -D
125.179.213.230/32
# Deny icmp from untrusted hosts
ipfwadm -I -a deny -P icmp -S 0.0.0.0/0 -D 125.179.213.230/32
# Deny all connections from malicious/evil hosts
ipfwadm -I -a deny -D 125.179.213.230/32 -S 210.111.213.66/32
# Forward connections from trusted hosts on your LAN
ipfwadm -F -a masquerade -S 10.1.1.1/2 -D 0.0.0.0/0
# Accept tcp/udp packets from trusted hosts on certain ports
ipfwadm -I -a accept -P tcp -S 125.179.213.0/24 -D
125.179.213.230/32 23
ipfwadm -I -a accept -P udp -S 125.179.213.0/24 -D

# Do this for all your ports that you have been attacked on

ipfwadm -I -a deny -P udp -D 125.179.213.230/32 23 -S 0.0.0.0/0
# Do this for all your ports that you have been attacked on
==========================end=rc.firewall=============================
...... and made it /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall. My LAN is 10.1.1.1/2.
Now from http://rlz.ne.mediaone.net/linux/index3.shtml I started to
compile my kernel. So I --
cd /usr/src/linux
make mrproper
make xconfig
and got error-
Error in starup script: invalid command line name "button"
while executing
"button .ref:
(file "scripts/kconfig.tk" line26)
mahe:*** [xconfig] error 1
My next steps were to be -
enable these:
�loadable module support �kernel daemon support (for autoloading
modules) �networking support �network firewalls �TCP/IP networking
�<your driver(s)> �IP: forwarding/gatewaying �IP: syn cookies �IP:
firewall packet logging �IP: masquerading �ICMP: masquerading (if you
want to ping from an internal machine) �IP: accounting �IP: drop
source routed frames
then;
make dep
make clean
make boot
make modules
cd /lib/modules
mv <the current version directory> <the current version
directory>.original
cd /usr/src/linux
make modules_install
cd /boot
mv vmlinuz.<version> vmlinuz.original
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage ./vmlinuz.new
ln -fs vmlinuz.new vmlinuz
mv System.map.<version> System.map.original
cp /usr/src/linux/System.map ./System.map.new
ln -fs System.map.new System.map
cd /etc
My questions are-
Do I have a clue?
What does that error mean and did it do any damage?
How does the file rc.firewall get started? Do I do a chmod? Does it
get linked to something?
Does _mv <the current version directory> <the current version
directory>.original_ mean _mv 2.0.36 2.0.36.original_?

Subject: PPP connection problems (Bad configure-nak/rej:)
Date: 7 Jan 1999 06:31:25 GMT
Now that I've managed to get my sound card out of the way of my modem, I'm
trying to get ppp dial-up working.
I followed the instructions from my ISP for Linux PPP configuration and
hit the activate button.
It dialed and I could hear the modems negotiating the connection, but
the PPP link never came up.
Here's an extract from /var/log/messages:

-end of extract-
I assume that the "bad configure-nak/rej:" message is the culprit, but I
haven't the foggiest idea of what it means or what to do.
I've been looking in the archives, but haven't found anything pertinent
yet.
A clue would be vastly appreciated!

What would be the best way to setup a Linux box in between a satellite
ISP and a ADSL line. Here is the setup...
(Satellite)------[Router]
|

[ Eth0 ]
[Linux ]
[ Eth1 ]-----[ADSL]
I have a block of IP's from the Satellite provider: 201.32.44.128 -
201.32.44.159
So the netmask is 255.255.255.224 the network IP is 201.32.44.128 and
the broadcast is 201.32.44.159
The router is at 201.32.44.129.
It took and subnetted it more at the linux machine so that...
Eth0: IP 201.32.44.130 netmask 255.255.255.248 broadcast 201.32.44.135
Eth1: IP 201.32.44.137 netmask 255.255.255.248 broadcast 201.32.44.147
I have IP forwarding enabled in the kernel
The routing table is as follows
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
201.32.44.128 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.248 U 1 0 0

eth1
0.0.0.0 201.32.44.129 0.0.0.0 U 1 0 0
eth0
When i place another computer off of eth1 though it isn't able to reach
the router throught the two NIC cards in the Linux machine. No traffic
seems to travel between the cards. How can I get the machine to route
traffic between the subnets between the two NIC cards?

I was wondering if anyone has been able to retrieve records from a
PostgreSQL database using ODBC and VB5? I can do it if I use Access as a
middleman, but if I try the openrecordset function to a direct PostgreSQL
ODBC call, I get a "Function not supported" error..
Thanks ahead of time,
David Weiss

Rockin!
I figured it out. I need to stop using experimental kernels. All I did was go
back to kernel 2.0.36 and now everything thing works perfectly.

Thanx a lot, Danny!
That was it! My PCI SCSI card AND the PCI ethernet card were both using
IRQ5.
I forced ESCD update in BIOS, and it assigned IRQ9 to the eth. card. Now
everything's working.
Thank you again,
A.G.

Subject: PPP in RH 5.2

Is it only me, or is PPP setup in RedHat all screwed up?
I tried using their graphical tool to configure PPP from "Control Panel",
then I tried linuxconfig to do the same. Alright, I got my modem to dial,
but I couldn't connect to any site. Couldn't even ping my ISP.
Then I found out that I should have been using a different netmask for the
IP address that my ISP assigns me, but there doesn't seem to be any way to
define it using any interactive tools. So, all options exhausted I turned to
Howto's and FAQs. =/
They all talk about scripts that are non-existent in Redhat Linux file
system. Once I located needed scripts in docs to PPP, and copied them to
correct locations, and edited them, and changed file permissions around, I
finally got connected (following Howto's instructions).
However, the setup for ppp0 didn't change a bit in the linuxconfig or
"control panel". So I can't "activate" interface from there. Have to type
ppp-on. Not a big problem, but I would really like to know WHERE does RedHat
Linux keep ITS configuratoin of ppp0??? Couldn't find it anywhere. :[
Any ideas? File names?
I am only a week into Linux, so I beg for your tolerance for my ignorance.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This either happened when I upgraded to RH 5.2 or 2.0.36. I try the
following:
mount -v remote:/home/ftp /aftp
and I get this:
mount: no type was given - I'll assume nfs because of the colon
mount: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused
All the usual things (nfsd, portmap, rpc, etc) are running. My
hosts.allow file is properly set up. hosts.deny is empty. exports is
set up properly on the remote machine. I even tried this:
/home/ftp
(rw,no_root_squash,no_all_squash,squash_gids=65535,squash_uids=65535)
in the exports file, and that doesn't work either. Any ideas?

Hello,
An question about dns:
is it possible to setup an own dns-server so that you can make up your
own domain name using linux.
And is this domain then accessible from the internet without
registering it to internic?
And where to get more info about setting up dns-servers?
Thx
