Create an alias for the ethernet card with an address in #2.
Alternatively take the proxyarp option out of the PPP options and just
enable blunderbus proxyARP permanently.

Well your DM change is the problem! Since some ISP's reject relaying
SMTP when it comes from unkown domains. So you should set your ISP domain
name in it.

Okay, I finally got the management to look the other way while I put a linux
box on the network. Right now, it is serving an internal web-site. I would
really like to know how to set up an smtp and pop3 server on the box for
internal mail, and I would also like to be able to admin the network from
the Linux box. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jon

If what you are trying to do is to have two cards with an unique ip and
connected to same network to do different tasks, it wont work. as for
microsfot design, multiple computers with same computer name situation
is not allowed.
If you just want your configured connected to multiple networks, you
can add interfaces as much as resource allows.

An inexpensive hub costs more than no hub.
The specification for 802.3 (Ethernet) 10Base-T specifically allows
for the use of cross-over cables in 14.5.2 "Crossover function". They
are NOT a kludge that happens to work, but an approved part of the
specification that all NICs and hubs are required to meet. (But don't
worry since it requires no design effort to make them work. They just
do.)
As to the "link beat", it is generated by any 10Base-T device, not
just hubs. The NICs send it rot he hubs and the hubs send it to the
NICs. No hub just means that the NIC sends it to the other NIC.

OK, I hadn't realized that the comments (the #'s) would be unacceptable
to chat but that seems to be the case. I reproduced this chatscript
and used it to successfully connect to my ISP after changing the phone
number and removing the comments (and the <REPORT CONNECT>, which isn't
available for the 2.2.0f ppp version I used in the test).
If this doesn't do the job, then I'm out of suggestions - well except to
say there is an extra digit in the chatscript ISP phone number. I suppose
it is the 9, and there to be able to dial out of a local phone system?

I have RedHat 5.2 on an Intel box. If I have a NIC installed my dialup
connection will use the IP address of the NIC. It's tough to access the
internet when it does that. Occasionaly it will use the DHCP address from my
ISP. Even if I disable the NIC, remove the address info using Linuxconf and
reboot the NIC address is still there. Any ideas anyone?

/dev/pilot is linked to the appropriate serial port, 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'

I think you are right in general,but the DM field of sendmail.cf
apparently isn't the problem. I tried changing the DM field to my
isp's domain, and to blank, and got the same error message. I wonder
if you may be right if it's the envelope that's the problem. Except
I don't know how to masquerade the envelope without reading volumes

I would choose SuSE. SusE has the best manual and the best collection of
pre-compiled packages.
Do you guys think about removing tokenring?? That would be a shame TR is so much
more stable then ethernet. You should use IBM token ring adapter for Linux.
Perhaps nowadays Madge will work too. 2 years ago when I managed a tokenring
network I had to buy a IBM tokenring card. But since madge is the most sold
TR adapt. they should work to

tcgetattr almost always means that there is another process besides
pppd that is contending for the modem IRQ. Some examples are (1) an
ethernet card that used the same IRQ as the modem, (2) a misconfigured
ppp script that launched pppd twice, and (3) a mingetty that somehow
had been configured for call-in. If yours is different, I would be
interested in adding to this list. :)

FWIW, I have a very simple conf.modules setup:
alias eth0 ne
options ne io=0x300 irq=10
and modprobe -c (excerpt) shows the only similar aliases to be
...
alias net-pf-1 unix
alias net-pf-2 ipv4
alias net-pf-3 off
alias net-pf-4 ipx
alias net-pf-5 appletalk
...

Subject: PLEASE HELP (I HAVE A PATHETIC NEWBIE QUESTION)!!
Date: Mon, 25 Jan 1999 11:53:02 -0800
What I've done in the past is d'load the item that I need in a different OS
on the same PC (like a win95
partition.) Then, boot linux, and mount that partition in a /mnt directory.
If this isn't possible, d'load it on
another machine and put it on a floppy, mount the floppy /mnt/floppy and
copy it from there.
Good luck,
Nick
