Looks like the output of nmap. Try to use the -O option, you can let nmap
guess the operating system with this. And -sS and -v might be useful, too
:).

Funny though, I've had problems too after upgrading to 2.2.0; When I run
ifconfig (or actually it's being run by my startup script..) I get some
SIOCSADDR error. The funny part is that when I run it again, it runs
perfectly without any errors. So, now I have two of those lines in my
startup, but I've got to find the real problem some day too..

Subject: can linux route appletalk over ppp connection?
Date: Fri, 29 Jan 1999 16:27:47 GMT
I have a linux box doing IP Masquerading for a 5 mac
ethernet-appletalk network, to a ppp server.
I would like to know if there is a way to have the linux
machine dial out to an ARA server in our office, and give
those 5 macs access to our file/print servers we have there.
A quick yes or no would help me a lot. Any other information
would be fantastic.
thanks in advance
Ron
ps would it help if I scrapped the ARA server and put in
some other (linux) server?

Date: Fri, 29 Jan 1999 17:16:45 GMT
I'm using Slackware 3.6 with kernel 2.2.1 and I'm getting the following
error messages during the boot-up:
portmap: RPC call returned error 111
RPC: task of released request still queued!
RPC: (task is on xprt_pending)
portmap: RPC call returned error 111

portmap: RPC call returned error 111
RPC: task of released request still queued!
RPC: (task is on xprt_pending)
I have been running kernel 2.0.36 since it was released on the same
machine without any problem... NFS worked without any problems. Even
though I'm receiving the errors (see errors above) NFS seems to work
fine... I can mount to other machines and other machines can mount the
this machine. The 2.2.1 kernel IS configured to use nfs but not to use
the automount feature.
As far as I know and checked, Slackware 3.6 (out of the box) is ready to
run kernel 2.2.1 for what we are doing here.
Slackware 3.6 uses "nfsd 2.2beta37" ...
Any Ideas what causes the rpc errors ?
Thanks for your help...

[posted and mailed] If you do 'strace -o ifconfigoutput ifconfig' and look at
ifconfig, you'll see how it gets stats on the eth0 device through ioctl
calls. You could also just read /proc/net/ipx_interface, the IPX address -
which is the same as the Ethernet MAC address burned into the card - and the
ipx network address are in there. [EMAIL PROTECTED] (FtnPatrick) wrote:

Hi, there:
I am a newbie of Linux but pretty good at Solaris though. Here is my
question. Is there a way that I can configure to make my Red Hat Linux

Windows NT DHCP server? If so, what should I configure? If you could also
point me to a web site, that will be very helpful!

Sorry my newsserver doesn't have the original post any more, but
if wayne m. sees this:
I have this exact card installed in a Shuttle 591P motherboard using IRQ 9
and IO address 0x210. PNP is enabled. It took a lot of reading and rereading
the docs for isapnptools to finally figure out how to make it work. But I've
only
been up and running Linux for 4 days now.
isapnptools should be on your Redhat CD if its not loaded on your system. Or
go to www.roestock.demon.co.uk.
Also I found a How-to on cable modems that helped getting my internet
connection running after I got Linux to see the NIC.

*That* was the problem! I was making the silly (?) assumption that
"passwd" should have gone in /usr/lib/uucp, with the rest of the
config files. Unreasonable assumption on my part.
I got it a couple of hours later, after remembering that the "truss
equivalent" under Linux was "strace." (See, I had already wanted to
go that route, but couldn't remember for the life of me the name of
"strace". Nor did any of the manual pages I could think of that
might be related list it under "See Also".) As soon as I strace'd
uucico, I found the solution.
I would've cancelled the article I posted at that time, but for the
fact that it had already been propagating for better than an hour and
I was flat burned out :-).

Knew that. But again: thanks.

Oddly enough, when I did a search for "uucp" in my newsreader, that
group did not turn up. Maybe I need to ask my ISP why. (UUCP
newsgroups did turn up, but they all looked like they were
specialized around non-UUCP-technical issues and none were in the
"comp.*" hierarchy.)
And I knew, from the FAQs, that "comp.os.linux.*" was not the best
place, but is was the best I could come up with in a desperation
move! Please accept my apologies.
And thanks very much for the follow-up, Michael.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
It may be your default setting for the page to be setup on
Netscape startup. Go to Edit, Preferences, Navigator. (This is
for 4.5 but the 3.0 etc have similar settings)
On this page you can set what happens on startup. If you have a
web page specified Netscape will try to get on the web and get
the page so its probably timing out on the network which is not
connected. Change the start page to a blank page or a html file
on your system..

I have a Tashika 56K IDE Voice/Fax/Data Modem. Kernel 2.0.36.
When I use minicom or seyon to make a connection to my
ISP. The login prompt is very slow; it takes about 5-10 seconds for
the text I type to appear on the terminal prompt. The result is a timeout
and thus no login.
Could this be a modem problem; it works fine doing the same thing in
WinDOZE, would you credit it? Or have I not set the modem, minicom or seyon
up correctly. My modem uses /dev/cua2. I used the slackware 3.4 setup
program to configure the modem for me. I have not changed the default
setting on minicom or seyon. My internet provider claims to support ppp Unix
connections.
Can anyone help?
Many Thanks
