Try reinstalling the TCP/IP stacks on your computers in Windows
ie, delete the TCP/IP protocol in Control Panel/Networking
and then reboot
and then go back into Control Panel/Networking
and then add the TCP/IP stack again.

Modem Brand : NetComm

Problem:
pppd can't initialise modem or communicate with ISP, however, I am
able to communicate ( albeit, rather slowly ) with the modem using the
'Minicom' program. Can you tell me if this modem has known problems when
being used with Red Hat Linux 5.2. I Know some modems do have problems
with this operating system. If these problems do exist with my modem,
what avenues exist for addressing them?

Well not much help but my current fetchmail has been running for 20
days straight.
I have noted on occasion that my isp pop box gets a date that is early
than the real date. This causes fetchmail to think it has collected
all mail. There is an option -a -K to fetch all mail regardless. I use
these options now.

don't bother about the domain name.
your host file should just be like below
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.1 host-a
192.168.7.2 host-b
192.168.7.3 host-c
assuming that your computers are named host-a, host-b, and host-c
hope this helps

Hi folks!
Maybe someone can help me: I try to install Linux via NFS, but on the client
always the message "permission denied" appears when I confirm the directory
on which the CDROM is mounted on the NFS-Server.
I think I have to put in the IP-Number of the client in some special files.
I did it in the etc/hosts and etc/exports, but no success.
Is anybody able to describe me the correct way of installation?
Many thanks

The 27 means that the first 27 bits of the ip address are the network address,
the remaining 5 are the host bits. This is the same as a subnet mask of
255.255.255.224.

Subject: NEWBIE: Really stuck with configuring ethernet
Date: Sat, 16 Jan 1999 14:17:49 GMT
Hello,
I have a problem configuring the basic networking stuff. I'm living in
a house where now three computers are connected via ethernet, using
windows 95/98. My computer has a connection to Internet using a
cablemodem. Just yesterday I installed Linux on a pentium 100 with 64
MB and 800 MB's of harddisk-space. I want to connect this machine to
the existing (win95) network, as well.
My ethernet card is detected at boot. I installed the localhost stuff
to test network software. I can ping the linux machine internally. But
now I want to connect it to the win98 machine (via the existing
network).
I know the basics a little bit (I'm really new to networking with
linux), so this is what I do:
ifconfig eth0 inet 212.64.11.66
(this is the (slightly changed for security reasons, but say it's the)
real IP adres assigned to my win98 computer by my ISP upon
connecting). After that I type:
route add 212.64.11.66
then I try to ping, and this works, however, I'm just pingng my
localhost. I have an ftp-server running on the win98 machine, so I try
to ftp to that (for testing), but again I'm ftping to my linux
machine...
Something is really wrong here, can anybody help me please?
Regards,
Ferdinand.

yes, this is valuable advice. i just wanted to add that for your

Are you on the same subnet as your NIS master? If not you will have to
add a line in /etc/yp.conf:
ypserver 10.1.1.1 #Substitute the ip address for your
NIS master of course.
Before ypbind is run, you have to set the domainname to the NIS domain
used by your NIS master. Note: this is not your tcp/ip domainname. You
do this by executing the command:
domainname your-NIS-domain
Then you must run ypbind. Try killing the ypbind process and manually
setting your domainname and running ypbind. If this doesn't work, your
NIS server may not be configured properly or you are not using the right
NIS domain name. You can get more information on NIS

Subject: Re: Two ip addresses on one NIC
Date: Fri, 15 Jan 1999 06:34:09 -0500
That may be close but it's still no cigar (at least on my system).
ifconfig takes
the line "ifconfig eth0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" for the main address but I get
a
"SIOCSIFADDR: Invalid argument" when I try to add a second address.
This seems
to refer to the eth0:x. Unfortunately, if you just use eth0, it
overwrites your
main IP address setting, with not nice side effects.
Similarly, when I try to do the second route, I get "SIOCADDRT: No such
device".
That could be because ifconfig failed. However, I note that the route
command
does nothing with the main IP address but takes the extra ones if you
leave out
the :x (where x is the alias reference). Just "route add xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
eth0"
appears to work. Running route with no parameters prints out the table
and
verifies that the address has been added.
If someone who knows more about the use of ifconfig than I do could put
in their
two cents worth, it appears that it would help at least a couple of
people!
