Subject: Network Unreachable !!
Date: Mon, 18 Jan 1999 22:15:12 -0500

Hi Folks,

My organisation has a couple unix/linux servers
accessing the internet using Instant Internet. Our
Network is a Novell 3.12 100 user LAN. My users
access internet e mail to and from the server via
Eudora. Recently users indicated they were not
receiving e mail, I checked and found the
server/linux box giving the network unreachable
error msg. The card is a novell anthem nic. I
changed it for a good card and see that the
connection is a good one as the light on the hub
is green. The system boots up but hangs after the
memory test is complete (486 DEC system).
Apologies for the length of this msg. Question -
was the IP address embedded/burned into the old
card ? Why is the system not seeming to recognise
the new card ? How do I tell the system to assign
the IP address of the server to the new card or am
I totally barking up the wrong tree ??
Any suggestions/ideas would be greatly
appreciated.

Pls respond if possible to me at

Is there a way to control what my ppp connections are numbered?  I
currently have 2 ppp connections--a dial-up isp connection and a serial
cable ppp connection.  At this point, they're arbitrarily numbered based
on which pppd command is run first.  I want to force the modem dial-ip
connection to be ppp0, and the serial connection to be ppp1.    Is there a
way?

Subject: diald routing problems
Date: Tue, 19 Jan 1999 06:35:42 GMT

I've been looking for answers to my diald problems but haven't
found any.  So here's my post.

diald (version 0.16.5) dials out when I try and contact somebody, but
the routing does not look correct.  I am using RedHat 5.2.

When I connect by hand and look at the route I get this (works):

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
204.50.109.5    *               255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp0
127.0.0.0       *               255.0.0.0       U     0      0        5 lo
default         204.50.109.5    0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        7 ppp0

When diald is running I get this (does not work):

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
news.intergate. *               255.255.255.255 UH    1      0        1 sl0

This is my /etc/diald.conf file:
#
debug 20
mode ppp
accounting-log /var/log/diald.log
#fifo /etc/diald/diald.ctl
#connect /usr/sbin/usernetctl ifcfg-ppp1 up

remote 127.0.0.3
dynamic
addroute /etc/diald/addroute
defaultroute
include /usr/lib/diald/standard.filter

The script '/etc/diald/addroute' is presented with the local and
remote values that I have specified.  I thought it was supposed to
get the 'real' values that are assigned dynamically by my ISP?

Thanks for any help.

Subject: A little newbie help... seeing Win95 shares in Linux
Date: 18 Jan 1999 14:48:05 -0800

I have a Win95 box and a Linux box ethernetted together.  I have Samba up and
running on Linux and I can share the Samba shares from Win95 with no problem. 
When I try to access one of the shares on the Win95 box from the Linux box, I
get a message that RPC can't make a connection.

This is when trying "mount -t nfs win95box:/c /mnt/win95box/c".  Is that right? 
I've tried "smbclient \\win95box\c" in just about every syntax I can and
smbclient always tells me there aren't enough "\" in the parameter.  How many do
I need to put in and where?

I checked out "man rpc", which tells me to run "rpc client foo bar" to engage
the RPC client.  Okay, but... the executable "rpc" is in my /sbin/init.d
directory, and its only options are "rpc start" and "rpc stop", and it doesn't
seem to help.

Any hints?

Subject: How to install a RTL8139 network card
Date: Mon, 18 Jan 1999 23:58:58 +0100

I am trying to install a 100 Mbps network card on Linux 2.0.34 RedHat 5.1.
It is a RTL8139 based card and I am using the rtl8139 module.

At first I used the original driver from the card (it was supplied!), but
there was an error message about the wrong Linux version number. So I
downloaded the latest driver from gsfc.nasa.gov and manage to compile it
(wow! and that for a newbie).

The version message is now replaced by another error:
    SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable

The LED on the hub is off and network card is not shown with ifconfig.
However it looks like the card was detected, because dmesg shows:
    eth1: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet at 0xf880, IRQ 10,
00:4f:4e:01:53:1b.

The DOS setup program shows the same port / IRQ / MACaddress.
(eth0 is a 3Com 3c900 10 Mbps network card.)


What is wrong here and how can I fix it?

Date: Mon, 18 Jan 1999 23:58:03 GMT

Freerk,
  You should only need IP routing turned on on the router, no NetBIOS
specifics.  However, you need some way to resolve NetBOIS names across
the router.  An LMHost file, a NetBIOS proxy agent or a WINS.  The hosts
on each subnet are probably using subnet(local) broadcasts to resolve
names on there respective subnet.  The router is most likely terminating
these broadcasts which is why each PC can not see across the router.

I believe the problem may be that your system comes to a halt when it
performs name lookups. Your system is either resolving names incorrectly
or you have the hostname and domain name of your machine setup
incorrectly.

This quite often happens if you change the domain name of your machine
and do not update all the relevant files.

If your computer is also acting as a nameserver, you need to check the
nameserver files too - these are:

/etc/hosts
/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/named.conf or named.boot

All files in /var/named/

I'm in the process of building a Linux Server guide at
http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/maroberts/linux/guide/index.html

It's still incomplete though, and the DNS section is very sketchy.
You're welcome to read it and see if you can see what's wrong.

This is a varient of a FAQ.  It is a good idea to skim read the entire
FAQ (or at least the questions) before posting to any newsgroup for
the first time.

Clean cache _is_ available for other tasks.

Yes, do something else.

Perfectly normal, see FAQ.

No.  There is probably no reason to wish to do so.

If you specify /~username the server will automatically redirect you
to /~username/.  It will use its own name in the redirect URL.  If
it's idea of its own name is not correct you'll get the above error.

Subject: Losing IP packets?
Date: Tue, 19 Jan 1999 06:20:19 -0700

Hello.

I have a simple 2 station ethernet hub, connected via cross-over cable.

Box 1   192.168.0.1
Box 2   192.168.0.2

I can ping both stations from each other but either way will show packet
loss as shown below (22%) and the round trip is up to 3000 ms, which
seems way too slow.  Note that for these tests, I used IP addresses, not
host aliases.

I cannot telnet or ftp between stations because it will time out.  Is
this a hardware problem or configuration problem or some other problem?

Suggestions are appreciated
Jeff
