Hi,
Do you have somebody experinces with using new package package iproute2+tc
for 2.1.132 kernel?
Please send me any example configuration.
I am loking for any infomations about it. Of ourse I studied SallyFloyd and
ftp.inr.ac.ru/ip-routing/ but this complex thing and practic experiences
and config examples, not to talk about HOWTOs, helps a lot.
Thank you in in advance for any answer.

Hi,
Have you anybody idea, if is possible under Linux balance traffic over two
or more NICs?
I means is it possible make parallel and redundant link to twice or more
band between two computers?
Realization over IP will be enough.
I have fouund something like "equal cost multipath"
(CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH) in 2.1.132 kernel. Is it right or wrong way?
Thank you for help

Hy all:
How do I find out whether the NFS server (nfsd) is running as a kernel
service or in user space on my SuSE 5.3 box?
How do I compile a kernel that has NFS service included as a kernel
service instead of a module?
Thanks. <Oliver>

all the linuxes (linuces?, linuxen? how do you make linux plural) are
largely the same once installed. most importantly, make sure you get
a recent distribution (bookstores are infamous for stocking linuxtomes
with an obsolete cdrom pasted to the inside cover).
i would recommend anything with a packet manager (and libc6). redhat,
debian and suse come to mind. suse is from germany and so maybe has
better french support.
hope this helps.

There surely is no short cut to reading a good book on the subject. I prefer
John D. Blair's "SAMBA Integrating UNIX and Windows" - 30 bucks! But I guess
I can give you some sketchy clues.
1. Use RH Linux Network Configuration Tool to setup your network card's
configuration. Click "ADD" and fill in the information requested. You'll
need IP addresses - maybe pick some in the range 192.168.X.X. I suggest a
tight subnet mask/network address (knowledge from your network class, huh).
Oh! Use the addresses you supplied to that working NT setup. Select
"activate on boot". Include any hostnames you would like known by name using
the "HOST" tab of the Network Configuration Tool. Include your LINUX
hostname and domainname using the "NAME" tab of the Network Configuration
Tool. Go back to the "Interface" tab and select "Activate". If it
activates, you can use it.
2. Maybe you should reboot to see the network card recognition messages - or
you could use the dmesg command. This is just to assure that your card is
recognized. If it's not, use the RH Linux Kerneld Configuration Tool to get
the module loaded. (You said the card was already in the kernel, so, you
shouldn't need to do anything - I hope). Ping the remote host. When you can
ping that NT machine, your hardware is complete. It's on to SAMBA
setup/configuration.
3. I'll try to make this simple. Use the following command to assure SAMBA is
running. There should have been some messages at startup that referenced
SAMBA startup. ps aux | egrep "smb|nmb" You should see something like the
following. root[559]... ps aux | egrep "smb|nmb" root 380 0.0 0.6 1480
648 ? S 17:41 0:00 smbd -D root 389 0.0 0.6 1320 600 ? S 17:41
0:00 nmbd -D root 1943 0.0 0.3 840 360 p2 S 09:44 0:00 egrep smb|nmb
root[560]...
if not, issue the script command /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start When it's
running you can check all the machines that are ready to play by issuing the
command nmblookup -d 2 '*' When you can get this far, hack up the following
simple /etc/smb.conf file to share a few things with the NT machine. I bet
you can configure the NT without my assistance, huh? I don't want to write
about NT, but if I have to, I guess you can write me :o(

Sharing resources that the NT has to offer is a diverse subject. There are
several ways of doing things (e.g., automounting NT shares or smbprint to use
an NT printer). With NT, I cannot emphasize reading a book on the
particulars. You may have Master Browser, LMHOSTS/WINS, PDC and User
authentication concerns.

OK. So I have Proxy 2.0 running a SOCKS proxy - how do I configure Linux to

no luck.

I am not familiar with the Debian distribution but assume it is like the
others and you need to use lance32.c for a PCI card.

:My questions:
:1. How far can I run a serial cable?
aboyt 15 meters
:2. How far can I run a parallel cable?
a friend of mine used that solution, and he had 15meters long cable, it
worked, but i guess that the safe value is about 5-10 meters
:3. What kind of connectors and wire should I use to do the parallel
:cable?
simle connectors that fit your parallel port. (guess that they are female
db 25 connectors)
I try to send you a simple how-to for doing that cable, i just must dig in my

IBM also offers a Linux script (which looks like it probably doesn't work

They tell you that you must recompile your kernel, download and compile an
obsolete version of pppd, and then type in and run a perl script. A good
way to scare off new users.
> All you have to do is plug in your user data.
You can do that with Debian (and, I believe, Red Hat) without their script.
Just run pppconfig and answer the questions. All AT&T needs to do is say
that they use CHAP, explain how to figure out the username and password,
and tell you the nameserver numbers.

yep, it should read something like:

Add these lines to allow root to access telnet.

Subject: Parallel Port Networking
Date: Sun, 10 Jan 1999 17:02:59 GMT
I have a 486 laptop with one serial port and one parallel port. I also
have a PPro 200 running Redhat Linux connected to both my local LAN and
a cable modem.
I would like to connect the laptop to the Linux box via either the
serial or parallel port.
At first I thought serial would be the way to go. I could run a login on
the serial tty and login and run ppp. I would build a cable using simple
parts from Jameco (RS-232 to RJ45 adapter and then use RJ45 between the
computers). I would wire the whole thing to be a null modem.
Then I saw that there is a lot of talk about PLIP in regards to Linux.
So I am now wondering if it would be better to use the parallel ports.
I'd prefer this because then I could still use the serial ports on both
computers for Ham radio TNCs.
My questions:
1. How far can I run a serial cable?
2. How far can I run a parallel cable?
3. What kind of connectors and wire should I use to do the parallel
cable? I was going to use RJ45 (ethernet type cat 5) wire for the serial
port, but that's only 8 conductors and I think I need at least 11 for
the parallel cable. It would be nice to have something that was somewhat
pliable as I'm going to be running it around the house on the floor.
Thanks so much to anyone who can help. Please email me and I'll put
together a mini-HOWTO on this.
Thanks!
John

Subject: large packet loss and DUPS with 3com and RH5.2
Date: Sun, 10 Jan 1999 15:41:28 GMT
Hi,
I have read every HOW TO I could find and also the Network administrator's
guide and searched most of the newsgroups and tried a LOT of different
setting, still same results. I am finally resorting to the newsgroups hoping
to learn from you and later be able to help others :-)
I am setting up a linux box as a file server at our school. I installed RedHat
4.2 which went smooth. I am not able to ping any of our Mac or PC clients.
(Although sometimes I get a response with DUPS and large packet loss) I
installed the networking option and it is enabled. 3COM card was recognized.
Cabling is fine since our NT is working ok with the same hub and cables, even
tried changing the cables.
Here is my setup
Linux box IP 192.168.1.1
255.255.255.0
Clients 192.168.1.2 etc.....
gateway 192.168.1.254 (not connected to any other networks, just connected a
few clients to test so far, no Internet access)
Tried both enable route and disable route
not using DNS yet, just Hosts file.
Can ping the LINUX 3com 3c5098 card.
After ping -f, ran netstat -i and got:
lo RX 24703 TX 24703
eth0 RX 800 TX 851
After ping -f to the client I get :
lo RX 51 TX 51
eth0 RX 96 TX 147
All lights flash on the hub and NIC's. I am assuming that after installing
RedHat 4.2 with networking option it is already configured to at least be able
to ping another client, am I wrong to assume this. Everything else was set up
it seemed.
I read a lot about the plug and play NIC. I didn't disable the P&P but I am
assuming that because the install recognized my card and I am able to ping
the card, there is no problems with the I/O or IRQ. Maybe am wrong to
assume this. I am just a teacher that volunteers to administer the school
network. It is a lot of fun though.
Thanks,
