Hi,
I tried upgrading from 2.0.36 to 2.2.0. The kernel compiles fine and
also works, but when trying to transfer large data over the network,
i.e. using samba or ftp, with 2.2.0 I get the message
eth0: Tx timed out, cable problem?
This problem does not occur with 2.0.36, so I don't think it's a cable
problem. The NIC is an SMC Ultra.
Any help would be appreciated,
Olf

Hello,
we are defining a private network (192.168.1.x) with a linux box with
masquerade on one side and a registered IP on the other side.
In the private side we have some Win 95 that connect to a domain
outside, but the Windoze says that 'cant find a domain server'..
I tried configure all PC with the Wins server without success. Inside
the private network, the boxes uses DHCP to obtain
a IP and configure DNS, WINS, etc. (Linux is a DHCP server). The
configuration is:
----+---------+---- ethernet ----+-------+-------
| | ..... | |
Linux Win 95 Win 95 Linux etc. etc..
(192.168.1.1) (x.x.1.2) .... (x.x.1.n) : private IPs
(212.25.144.21) : registered IP
|
----+-----+----- ethernet ---------+-------------+--------+
| | | .... |
router to router to registered boxes
internet other eths. (SUN, Linux, NT, 95, 98,
etc.)
The Linux 192.168.1.1 has the masquerade enabled. All TCP/IP services
(telnet, ftp, etc...) works fine. Also if we try to connect to a shared
SMB
resource outside the private network via " \\HOST\SERVICE" works too,
but if we configure the Win 95 inside the private network to validate to
a domain
that is outside the private network... Windows says that 'can't find a
domain server', and doesn't connects to that server (don't mount the
shared resources,
run the networking antivirus, update software, etc. etc..)...
I have readed the RFC 1001 about NetBIOS that says about the broadcast
stations and the point-to-point stations.. but can't extract useful
information..
Anybody can help? If need further information about config please send
me a email.
Thank you...

Go to www.3com.com and download the Etherdisk III tools. This will
include a program that will let you change the IRQ, I/O port and a few
other things on the card. It will also let you test the card to make
sure it's working allright.
Be sure to turn off its Plug and Play mode, if it's a 3c509b!

Ah config (not xconfig) does not even have Realtek 8129/8139 as a choice

In my case len==0 just before ACKCIPROTO and loop runs only once.
I assume that we have RIP/SAP(by default). If this is't true, len > 0
and ACKCIPROTO runs. Just so it must to work.
Best solution is always to send IPX router protocol (IPX_NONE,
RIP_SAP or NLSP) in IPXCP ConfigReq. But after patch it works,
and I'm so lazy to find and patch it any more.

Date: Wed, 27 Jan 1999 13:34:34 GMT
I recently installed Samba-2 on my Linux box running RedHat5.2 I am
able to connect to the Windows-98 and NT4 machines on the network.
That is I can GET files from the Windows machines to Linux via
smbclient. However, when I try to browse the Linux machines from
Windows/NT, I get the message "\\LinuxBox not accessable. The network
path was not found," when I click on the icon for the Linux box which
does appear in Network Neighborhood. When I ping the Windows/NT
machines from Linux this seems to work. I can even Telnet to the
Linux box from Windows/NT. In addition, I edited the smb.config files
to announce the Linux box to the IPs of the individual Windows
machines, added passwords to what I think are the appropriate files.
(I'm not sure which password files I need to edit and how.)
Would some kind person please provide a "checklist" of the steps
necessary to establish browsing/ 2-way Samba communication between
Linux and windows. Thanks in advance.

This looks good too. The ISP will usually supply an IP address for you to
use rather than you supplying it (192.168.1.10) and I would try dropping
192.168.1.10:192.168.1.20 from the pppd options. It works for me but there
are a few ISPs that might need some address from the client.

There is a routing problem here. The table shows a default route to ppp0
through 192.168.1.20 and is that is wrong. It should show a route to ppp0
through 168.127.70.231 instead. I'm unable to say how this routing came
to be so but it is likely in existance before ppp tries to put in a ppp0
default route. Pppd won't replace an existing default route even with
the defaultroute option.
The correct ppp0 routing should read
168.127.70.231 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
0.0.0.0 168.127.70.231 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0
Ordinarly usually don't need to set a ppp0 route yourself, pppd does that.
You also don't usually need a default route to the LAN when connecting
to the Internet with ppp, a network route takes care of routing for the
machine's LAN.

Well,
I'm going to post my problem again.......
I'm using kernel 2.2 YES! and have ipchains running on
it......Once I issue the commands
/sbin/ipchains -F forward
/sbin/ipchains -P forward DENY
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 0/0
in my rc.local file, we lose the ability to route.......Is there
something I'm missing here? I'm trying to masquarade all packets coming
from the local lan over ppp so that they look as though they are all
coming from out static ip and not individual computers on the lan.
However, there is one complication, we use eql (load balancing) so all
packets get sent through the eql device and NOT through the ppp devices
first....The routing table only has the eql device in it (it takes care
of routing packets through our two pp connections).....HELP!

Well, just for your info. The ethernet card built into you board still
access the sytem through a system bus. There is no way that anybody is
going to design a board that has dedicated access for an ethernet card, way
to expensive. My guess is that since you have a PCI bus, the ethernet card
is a PCI based. Look in the boot logs and see if eth0 is being detected.

On Intel machines, if they have a built in Ethernet board, it still uses
a similar driver. For example, I think the Intel Etherexpress is often
built into some motherboard(s). Find out what type of device and/or
specs for it. Then search the net. You may have to write your own
here, but I would guess that other people have implemented it already or
may be willing to help you. I really haven't used the LinuxPPC so I
don't know what driver support is like. I would think that some of the
Ethernet drivers should work with the PCI interfaces and perhaps other
things as well. (Cheers to the kernel developers for making this
possible)
