Hello,
while trying to start the Novell Netware Server emulation MARS (V.o.00p112)
I get the following error message:
!! NWSERV 0 0:PANIC !!
NWSERV 0 0:EMUTLI: init_ipx: invalid argument
The IPX-Protocol is supported by the kernel, and I have set up the
/etc/nwserv.conf for my configuration.
Can anybody help?

Go to the contrib ftp site at redhat or its mirror sites. People have
already solved this problem more than a year ago and were kind enough to
donate the result to ftp://contrib.redhat.com where you can download it.

Hey,
I am using Redhat 5.2. I am using the INET service thing. I can't seem to get
telnet and ftp access to my machine. I think its because of the tcp wrappers
not allowing me to connect. So how can I disable the tcp wrappers? Thanx.
P.S. - I shut down inetd and them started in.telnetd manually using the -debug
flag, and telnet worked! But the process died after a few minutes.

The free telnet programs which come with Windows are pretty poor. I use
a program called ZOC which will run either over a serial connection or a
network stack. Demo available from www.emtec.com with versions for
Windows and OS/2. I've never used it over a LAN, but it's worth a look.

What kind of frametypes does linux support?
Can I switch to Frametype 802.3 SNAP (for tcp/ip not for IPX)?
If possible, what have I to do to use the SNAP Frametype?
Can I get any FAQ about this problem?

Subject: IPCHAINS and Port Forwarding... Together??
Date: Wed, 20 Jan 1999 10:33:29 -0500
I'm currently running Linux RedHat 5.1 with a 2.1.132 kernel. I have a
cablemodem connection to the net which I have used IPCHAINS'
masquerading capabilities to give my other three machines access to the
net to surf, ftp, etc.
However, I would like provide a port forwarding capability to my gateway
machine to allow ICQ to function with all the bells and whistles to
JUST ONE of those three machines.
What I would like to do is forward a subset of ports on the gateway
machine and forward them to just one machine. Is this possible?
For example, if my gateway's machine ip was (and it isnt) 24.2.72.42 I
would like to foward any information coming in on port 2000 to 4000 to
be forwarded to the corresponding port 2000 - 4000 on my internally
masqueraded machine 192.168.0.2.
To my understanding, this would allow me to be properly seen from the
internet via ICQ. I realize that this opens a hole in my firewall, but
I dont think? I should be too concerned as my little network is not much
of a target AND those ports would be somewhat useless anyways as they
would terminate on a WIN98 machine.
True/False?
Perhaps I am just missing some function of IPCHAINS? or do I need to
look into using IPPORTFW? or other tools?
I run this at the end of my rc.local to do the setup for my
MASQUERADING function so that my three (or more) machines connected to
my internal network (192.168.0.X) can transparently access the internet.

Hi all,
Can anyone give any pointers as to why nmap the port scanner is only scanning

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Posting from a friend's machine (well at least on his settings)...
I'm setting up an inherited machine with RedHat 5.2 from a CheapBytes
CD. I had a feeling the Ethernet card might be a glitch...and it is.
None of the stock drivers (when I come to the LAN configuration point of
the install) are working. I will probably move on without installing
the LAN set up and either re-install or re-configure later. Anyone know
where I might find a driver for it (I'm not to the point of rolling my
own) or have a driver for that one or for a generic card.
When I select a device driver, and have it do an autoprobe, it comes
back and says it could find no such device. I don't know what the
manual settings would be. If someone could give me a clue on those,
that would be great too. Thanks.

It is not even that hard. If all the KDE rpms are in the same directory use
"rpm -ihU *.rpm" and rom seems to take care of the dependencies it self. AFAIK
this is undocumented but it always works for me.

Subject: Multiple Card Problem

I am having a problem setting up multiple ethernet cards on my RH 5.2
sytem. I have two 3Com 3c509 cards, one which (eth0) needs to boot using
DHCP (for my Road Runner cable modem). The other one needs to have a
static IP address for our home network. Both cards function fine in
Win95, but I've run into a problem using them in Linux. If I only use
eth0 (by not using the append = "ether=0,0,eth1" command in lilo.conf),
then it works fine (I am able to boot using DHCP and connect to my cable
modem. But when I add the append line to my lilo.conf neither card
works. Both are detected by the kernel, but eth0 won't DHCP and eth1
won't work either. If anyone could help me figure this one out, I would
greatly appreciate it.

Subject: Name Mangling Problem!?!?
I have a Samba (2.0) server set up on RH5.2. Everything work how it
should ... I guess. Why do filenames/directories get mangled in a
different manner as windoze machines? e.g. the directory \longfilename
in Linux becomes x:/longf~hi in Dos instead of x:/longfi~1 in Dos. I
understand this is how the Samba Team, god love 'em, have decided to do
things ... but why? More importantly, is there ANY way for a
non-programmer, like myself, to implement the MS standard on a Samba
server? My problem lies in using a 16bit version of PVCS with long dir
names. Its looking for the "~1", "~2", etc mangled names.
Thanks for any help,

Subject: IP allocation on a small network
Date: Wed, 20 Jan 1999 15:02:43 -0800
I am going to be setting up a small network (10 computers or so) that will
be connected to the internet via an ADSL line connected directly to a
router. Several machines on the network are to have real (universally
visible IP addresses). I am curious as to what general technology
(besides DHCP) is used for IP address allocation. That is, if my ISP will
be giving me ten IP addresses, how will each IP address be associated with
each machine. Is it done on the router (is each port on the router
assigned an address), and if it is, would there be any way of implementing
it using a computer which is functioning as a router? Any information or
pointers to URLs with information on this area would be greatly
appreciated.
Thank you,
