The problem is that even if I use proxyarp with eth0 as local IP for=20
pppd, and the remote registers with WINS, I could not browse the=20
remote because samba broadcasts instead of using its own wins. For=20
example samba as browsemaster broadcasts 192.168.1.255, but that only=20
goes to eth0 and the dialin on 192.168.1.20 never sees it. The remote=20
can access others by name, but samba can't find the remote, even=20
though it is in wins.dat.
My solution was to use the same machine name and login name for the=20
remote connection. Using a combination of ip-up.local, a tmp file and=20
auth-up, I would add the remote username (machine name) and IP to=20
/etc/lmhosts. Then samba could find the remote and address it=20
directly instead of broadcast.
This was much easier for a modem hung on a Cisco router. All I had to=20
do was add the remote IP as ip-helper-address, the remote received all=20
subnet broadcasts and showed up in Network Neighboorhood of the=20
locals. The question is, how do you set up Linux routing so this=20
works with a Linux dialin?

I personally don't like the RPM format. I see its advantages,

Eric,
For only $45 dollars more a month, you can go through an independent
ISP like Crosslink, and not have to hear any defamation about linux not
being able to do dhcp.

There are ISP's that do ADSL. With Bell Atlantic or GTE you may be on
a T1 with 59 others, while the independent ISP will not do that to you.
For 15 dollars more a month you can have consistent bandwidth, four
emails, and a fixed IP, with an independent. The GTE website told me
what independent ISP's I could contact, so perhaps Bell Atlantic has
that info on their website.
Cable is slow sometimes, again because they put too many users on
together. ADSL is the better way.
> I have a second phone line to devote solely to a connection,
You can drop that second line with ADSL, giving you $20 to put
toward your ADSL and ISP. With ADSL there is a single line pair
to a splitter, then the ADSL goes to your net. ADSL is on the
same wire but different frequency. You can also dial out from
your computer by analog modem if the ADSL goes down, or
dial in on an analog line to use a secure remote login shell to
recover from something without taking your server down. So
you do have two lines, a regular one and ADSL on the same
wire pair, different frequency.

Yes, but you're online all the time anyway, so someone could do dns on
your machine by your account name or your own domain. For $60 a
month at GTE I could have ADSL and ISP(60 users per T1), dynamic
IP, then $20 a month for normal single analog line. For $105 a
month I could get Crosslink as ISP, fixed IP, less users per T1 branch,
four emails. A third alternative is paying $99 a month for
384kbpsUP/DOWN and ISP with GTE. Standard is 64kUP/256kDOWN.
Sounds like you're a candidate for synchronous 384/384.

I called GTE today and first the guy says he's going to tape the
conversation.
Then he starts telling me what hardware and software I need, and he says
I need windows. I ask him if he knows what TCPIP dhcp dynamic-addressing
is, and he says,"Yes, ADSL is dynamic addressing". I said,"I have that, dhcp
client, dynamic IP, nameserver, even user-name logon if needed. I use linux
for
all that, and I don't need or want to ask questions(...and I don't need to be
charged $99 for somebody to bring a windows netscape CD over, plug in
a DSL modem, and put in a splitter, simple stuff)." He was only entitled to
say
that GTE can't answer linux questions, but he got really angry and mean and
pressing and he kept saying, over and over,"Linux will not work, our network
is all windows, linux cannot work, linux will not work". I felt a great
pressure
to lie and say that I have windows, but why should I have to lie, when linux
does dhcpc perfectly? I even have a cron script that runs every three minutes
and takes the IP from dhcpc's file and plugs it into /etc/hosts, so "hostname
-i"
or the internal call will give 192.168.1.2 instead of 127.0.0.1(loopback), as
cyberphone needs. That guy literally kicked me off the phone,"Well, are
you going to have windows, or not? Linux will not work. Linux cannot
work! Well? Well? Huh? Huh?". Microsoft has bouncers at GTE. Call
1-888-467-2375 to hook up your back orifice with GTE. They're in Bill
Gates pocket, wonder why? Maybe the DoJ should know there are some
taped conversations with linux users getting turned down for ADSL
under a false claim that linux won't work and only windows can do TCPIP
with dhcp.

Subject: Problems with NFS between Red Hat client and Solaris server
Date: 28 Jan 1999 16:20:18 GMT
We've been having problems using NFS between a client running Red Hat 5.0
and a server running Solaris 2.5.1.
The symptoms are that the NFS server process on the solaris machine
locks up (doesn't respond to requests from any client, and want go
away without kill -9) after a user on the client machine does some
stuff in netscape and then exits from netscape.
Looking at the network with snoop, we see that the client is attempting
to remove a file from the .netscape/cache directory, and never gets
a response.
When we reboot the solaris machine, fsck reported an unlinked file and
incorrect inode count and then fixes them.
We've found that the problem is entirely dependent on whether or not
we've installed the latest nfs rpm's on the client. With these rpm's,
the problem is apparent. Without them, the problem goes away.
This problem is vaguely similar to a bug reported on Bugzilla, except
that the Bugzilla bug involved a solaris client and a linux server.
Has anyone else had similar problems?

Hi
I am using linux slakware 2.0.30 and I made some changes in my

(I uncommented the line corresponding to Network card.... ne ...=0xnnn)
My card is note an ne , it is PCI ethernet acer..ALN201, and is not listed
there.
So each time I boot my machine, it freezes when it reach the network card
probing.
Is there a way to boot my machine without reading the /etc/rc.d/rc.modules
file?
I tried linux ether=0,0 or other values and I got the same results.
I tried to boot from a boot/root disk, and I mounted the native linux
partition
mount /dev/hda3 / -f ext2 -rw
and wanted to use vi or pico, they were in /usr/bin but wen I could not use
them (I got the famous error message: no file...or something like this)
Do you have any answer to these problems.

I think the bigger problem is that places like GTE, and the like, do not
want educated users on their systems. People who can install and run
Linux are obviously educated and therefore persuaded to go somewhere
else for service.
I can understand some of their concern. They're afraid of Linux because
of it's capabilities. Imagine if you will a spammer setting up his own
Linux mail server on a high speed cable service. The spammer would be
able to route all email in and out of his own server, bypassing the
ISP's system. Because he's using his own server, nothing shows up in the
ISP's mail logs so the ISP is clueless until somebody complains.
The point being, the ISP's are afraid you might set-up a server of some
sort (i.e. spam, warez, porn, etc.). They don't take into account that
some of us would like to run our own servers for legitimate reasons
(like the ability to run CGI programs for personal web sites). That's
not to say that you can't run a server under Windoze... it's just that
the average Windoze user doesn't know how, or care to.

Have you checked your /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/3c59x.c against the

Except for bogus MAC after warm-booting from Win95 to Linux, it works

Yeah! & what about Win95 "MPREXE" page faulting every time I turn on

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.... I suggest you learn your way around
Linux first before making a leap to 2.2. There are so many fun things to learn
in Linux, much more fun than keeping up with every release (Alan Cox has
released his second patch, so expect the 2.2 kernel to be upgraded yet again
soon).

Subject: forward comm port over tcp/ip ?
Date: 28 Jan 1999 18:38:17 GMT
ok, this is what my setup looks like: there is a 486 PC running
linux with a modem connected. I also hooked up my notebook
to that machine with ethernet. I use this box for dialing out
(ip masquearding), it just workes fine.
What's missing is a posibility to use winfax with my notebook
wihout running to the modem, plugging cables in and out and so on.
I thought if there was program for win9x and linux that
tunnels a comm-port over the network, why shouldn't it work ?
It would look like that there is a virtual comm port on the notebook,
say com5 or whatever, that transmits any i/o data over tcp/ip to a
daemon listening on the linux machine. There again the data is
forwarded to the real comm port with the modem connected - sounds
reasonable, no ?
Thanks for any suggestions on how to realize this idea.
Greetings,
Wolfgang

I believe that I read about a month ago that someone was working on a token
ring drivers for IBM PCI network cards. Does anyone know if it is out there
yet?
Thanks in advance
