Sure. Just read the mgetty.info files, especially the parts about
_all programs using the same device name (ttyS*) solely_ .

I just did this today. You need to set up a static route to the gateway.
Here's the sum total of all the changes I made to my system in order to get
it working (commented for your pleasure, and changed to your numbers):
in /etc/rc.d/init.d/init:
# first, load the driver for the card they mailed me
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.0.36-0.7/net/3c59x.o
# then, up the interface
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 151.200.17.173 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast
151.200.17.255
# set up the static route to the gateway
/sbin/route add -host 151.200.16.1 eth0
# and set up the default route
/sbin/route add -net 0.0.0.0 gw 151.200.16.1

Date: 30 Jan 1999 00:59:04 -0600
Hello,
I am new to Linux so please be kind.
I am trying to set up a LAN with 1 Mac and 1 linux RH5.2 box using TCP via
a twisted pair cross-over cable. I have the Mac set to Ethernet, IP
192.168.0.2, Netmask 255.255.255.0. On the Linux side I have eth0 using IP
192.168.0.3, netmask 255.255.255.0.
The problem is the machines won't talk to each other. I *think* the
network card on the Linux box is working because at boot It shows the
memory addresses for it and ifconfig is giving me a MAC address but I
can't ping the Mac and the Mac can't telnet or finger (I don't have a ping
tool for the Mac). After trying ping a few times ifconfig says that zero
packets have gone through eth0. Also I have netatalk installed and at boot
when it starts atalkd it pauses for about a minute before continuing the
boot proccess. And I'm not seeing anything in chooser (I don't know if
they're related).
I know the network card works because windows sees the card and I know the
cable is good because I can transfer files between windows and the mac
using PC MacLan.
I've downloaded the NET3-HOWTO and I *think* I did everything right.
Any help would be great! E-mail at (fyrefiend at hotmail dot com) would
work best but posts are more then welcome.
Thank you in advance,
Lloyd

Subject: PPP Dial up connection - How hard can it get?
Date: Fri, 29 Jan 1999 13:47:45 +0100
I'm new to Linux, and have become ultimately frustrated over the last 5 days
in my attempts to set up a PPP connection.
How hard can it get to set up a PPP dial-up connection with RedHat Linux
5.2?
If you read the manual, the FAQ's, the HOW TO's and RedHat's kind reply to
what is actually not covered under their 30 days installation support, it
easy. Very easy. Read them all, tried them all, but the end result is zilch,
zero, nothing. Who would be kind enought to help me here? It _must_ be a
very basic thing I'm overlooking.
Let me cite one of them here (basically they all say the same thing), as
they explain the last step after you (again) followed all of the
instructions:
"Now, check your modem is turned on and then click on the activate button.
Your modem will dial and you should connect to your ISP. "
Not here though...
Again, I can't think of a thing in all the documentation I did not try.
Finally reinstalled RedHat to have a clean system and started over. And
over.
After following all the instructions meticulously this is what happens:
I type: "ifup ppp0" (without the quotes)
The DTR led on my modem lights up for about 10 seconds, but that is about
it. Not even an attempt to dial out.
Minicom works, so I can dial into my ISP's system and use the text
interface. So modem and line and connection are okay for non-PPP dialup. The
modem is a ZyXEL, not listed as non-supported hardware, just like all the
other hardware RedHat 5.2 is running on here.
I used netcfg, I used linuxconf, entered all the right stuff at all the
right places.
After "ifup ppp0", "tail -f /var/log/messages" leads to:
ifup-ppp: pppd started for ppp0 on /dev/modem at 11520
kernel: PPP: version 2.2.0 (dynamic channel allocation)
kernel: PPP Dyn... copyright...
kernel: PPP line discipline registered
kernel: registered device ppp0
pppd[363]: pppd 2.3.5 started by root, iud 0
chat[368]: Failed
pppd[363]: Connect script failed
pppd[363]: Exit.
kernel: PPP: ppp line discipline successfully unregistered
HELP!
Thanks,

I'm developing specs for a network server system I have to purchase in

I don't know enough about the vagarancies of the different network cards

Can you start PPP manually after connecting to your ISP with Minicom?
If so then it's a problem with your dialer script.

Netscape is probably trying to do a DNS resolution for some reason. The
most likely reason is that you have it set to visit a page on startup.
This is causing it to try and resolve the host-name component of the URL
into an IP address, which requires a nameserver.
I recommend you try the following things:
(1) Make Netscape go into a "blank" page on startup.
(2) Make sure wherever it is trying to go is in /etc/hosts
or:
(3) Run a local, caching-only nameserver. This is a great thing
if you are on any kind of low-bandwidth connection (dedicated
or not). You then set your /etc/resolv.conf file to use your
machine as a nameserver. Your machine looks up name
translations locally first (caching the entiries for usually
a long time -- depends on the SOA record). If it isn't
cached, it contacts the root name servers to bring down the
records.
I do #3 at home. I have a dedicated connection (somebody else provides a
domain name for me, so I don't serve up anything), but doing every name
resolution for my local network (4 hosts always on, sometimes more) is a
pain, especially when one machine here is accessing another.
If you run RedHat Linux, it comes with a "skeletal" configuration file for
a caching-only nameserver. But you must also get the root server list
(and, in theory, you should update it rather often) and apply that.
HTH.

Thanks for your quick reply Mark,
After making a connection with Minicom, what I have to do is precede my
username with a capital "P" to start PPP. This leads to a lot of scrambled
output to my screen and then the line is dropped after about 10 seconds.
Any clue?

OK, you need to make sure your dialer script includes the P that
starts PPP on the server, and that it does everything that you have to
do manually to get the junk output (the junk output is PPP trying to
communicate with your pppd).

Fetchmail advises against it. It discourages it.
But it does it. I don't truly have multiple addresses in my POP box,
but I do handle 'plussed' addresses as if it were multidrop. I have
fetchmail treat it as multidrop and send it all to root, and root's
.procmailrc sorts it all out and sends it to the right account.

I agree with this. I use both, RH at work, Caldera at home, and I'm
finding that most rpms out there are built with RH in mind and I
can barely install any on Caldera (unless of course they were built
by Caldera.) I always get dependency failures
on shared libs, mostly libc.so.6 but plenty of others too.
It seems that Caldera has built their RPMS in a slightly different
way and they don't quite work like RH's. I recently posted a query
in this newsgroup about uucp configuration files and got no answer.
The same configuration in RH works fine.

What's here number?
I have linux k 2.2.0 with dhcpcd 1.3.17-pl2 and it gives me IP and
nameserver, dumps them into a file so I can grep and sed the IP
into /etc/hosts for hostname -i to work and for cyberphone.
dhcp can be run with option -u username. Do I need to do that?
Can you tell me if you do anything other than just start dhcp
without options?
Sounds like I might have to borrow win95 if the intruder is
going to get nasty like the first person I spoke to on the phone.
He was really mean and threw me out of the store, so to

Subject: Samba & NT WS sharing problem
Date: Sat, 30 Jan 1999 07:55:22 GMT
Hi.
I'm certain that this is probably a simple problem that is covered ad
naseum in at least a dozen places, but for the life of me, I can't find
the answer (I did read the docs that come with Samba, the HOW-TO, I've
searched Dejanews, and couldn't find any mention of this in NT help).
So here's the problem. While my NT system is rebooting and trying to
reconnect to the shares on my Linux 2.0.36 box (running Samba 2.0) one
of two things happen:
1) I get an error messages saying:
"MSNetwork: The requested resource is in use."
If I click OK to ignore, open "My Computer" and then open the share
(with the red X through it to tell me it isn't working), everything
seems to work just fine.
2) I get the dialog box explaining that it's trying to reconnect to
\\Argos\utility (the first share). Then the message that it's tring
to reconnect \\Argos\creative (the second share).
The NT box then tries the first share again, then the second. It'll
cycle through trying each of the two shares four or five times each
before actually connecting.
I also have a Windows95 box that can connect to both of these shares without
any problems.
My environment:
Argos - Linux RH 5.2, 2.0.36 kernel, Samba 2.0
Pongo - NT Work Station v4.0 SP4
Bandit - Win95 SP1
My smb.conf is as follows:
[global]
workgroup = DESPONDENT
server string = Argos
hosts allow = 192.168.66. 127.
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 66

encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
interfaces = 192.168.66.1/24
local master = yes

By the by, I've created a couple of shares on my Windows 95 box, and I do not
experience the same behaviour with NT when connecting to the shares
on the W95 box.
Thank you for any help,

This is an el-cheapo NE2000 clone and in fact a pnp one.
So I suggest that you compile you compile the ne2000
driver, NOT builtin the kernel but as a module.
Next thing, do a pnpdump >/etc/isapnp.conf and unmark
the base address and irq you like (and are sure that it's empty)
and edit /etc/conf.modules with an alias eth0 ne2000.
(or whatever is the module name, check /lib/modules/2.0.xx/net (or misc
I don't remember what's in 2.0.xx).
Don't forget to unmark the ACT Y line in the bottom of the
isapnp.conf file. Read 'man isapnp'.
A reboot will fix your problem.
NOTE:
I have noticed that most people in this ng resort to
built-in kernel drivers. If you think more cleverly, you will
understand that with modules, one can compile, insmod and activate
drivers and essentially the whole network WITHOUT rebooting.
In the previous example all that I suggested, if you haven't
already compiled the kernel with builtin drivers, can be done
without rebooting.

The linux client says to delete /etc/dhcpc/thefile at boot.
Maybe the protocol method described in the other post will work; there has
to be
a way to do it on the fly or the protocol wouldn't be finished.
