Ok, I'm still trying to get this 3Com ethernet adapter working. Will the
driver for the 3c509 work?? I seemed to get the impression that it would,
from the ethernet how-to.
Thanks-Jim

Where can I find info on how to set this up? I'm trying to connect a
Win98 client to a Linux (Redhat 5.2) server. I can ping the server, but
get "Domain not found" when I try to log on to the win98 box. Network
Neighborhood doesn't show the Linux server either. Can you point me in
the right direction?

I just upgraded from Slackware 96 (Apache V1.0?) to Slackware 3.6
(Apache V1.3.3). There have been some major changes in the config
file syntax in that time ... I finally had to access the online
documentation at www.apache.org to get my old web pages and cgi
scripts to be accepted.
Basically I had to enable the cgi alias, define the cgi type and
define some server-parsed types. I do have it working now (just got
it going on Fri evening) BUT I tried MANY times by trial and error and
my old manuals were very misleading to say the least.
If you can't find the references in the online manuals post again and
I'll attempt to document the updates I made.
Good luck!

Not your problem. Running "make install" as root should put
everything in the right place, or the programmers haven't done their
job.

Whereever you want, since you'll be deleting the source code (saving
the tarball if you're a pack rat) after the compile/install.

Read whatever READMEs or INSTALL files come with the archive. Most

Joe, Thanks for responding.
I checked /resolv.conf and there are no servers listed. The file is empty.
Any other ideas I might try? Techniques I might use to find the culprit? I
don't know if this is an issue or not but my routing tables look like:
255.255.255.255 * 255.255.255.255 U 0 0 0 eth0

127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 1 lo
I know the telnet software is installed and working since I can telnet from
the local machine.
Thanks for any help.

Having a problem setting up a PPP connection for one of my ISPs. My
other two dial-ups work fine.
Using minicom to see what my ISP is expecting, this is the prompt I get:
***Ascend Terminal Server***

When I try to enter a username I get "Telnet not enabled". Anyone have

Sounds like a problem I had. Try PPP option of asyncmap 0
I would connect on both B channels and DNS wouldn't work, then a call
came in just after I was pinging and it sprang to life......only on one
B channel. Then whe I hang up it was dead again.

Yes, pppd quits after sending 10 LCP messages because there is no response
from the ISP.
: either way the pppd routine exits after about 5 secs.
Well, with the minicom connection pppd took 30 seconds to exit,
10 attempts x 3 seconds/attempt. Do you see anything like
~y}#.!}!}!} }8}!}$}%U}"}&} } } } } ect.
displayed by minicom? This is what ppp-speak looks like on a display.
If you don't get this within 5 seconds of connecting, then try again and
press Enter as soon as the connection is established. If you get the
ppp-speak when you do this then you can try < CONNECT "" > in the chat
script which will send an extra carriage return. Some ISPs actually
need two carriage returns. At some point you should be able to get some
ppp-speak to appear.
: It is really frustrating!!
It's a problem I haven't seen before. I can make these observations:
on your end. This causes pppd to terminate before sending all the initial
LCP messages when it's used with chat. This should not be happening
- the scripts are OK for starting a ppp session unless the ISP needs
something scripted into chat to start ppp at the ISP. The messages file
confirms the validity of the scripts, barring any need for extra chat
scripting.
The IBM Global Network was recently bought by AT&T so that the connect
procedure could have changed.
If you can establish a ppp connection with the ISP under another OS, then
that would mean that the problem almost certainly lies in scripting the
right thing with chat to start ppp at the ISP.

Subject: Ping OK, can't FTP/Telnet/Samba
Date: Sun, 31 Jan 1999 18:46:57 -0800
OK, this is driving this newbie nuts.
I fiddled with Linux for a week and got my home network running great. It
has two Win95 box's and Linux on a 486. Everything worked - FTP,Telnet; I
could even browse the across the Network Neighborhood using Samba (both Win
95 to Linux, and Linux to Win95).
Then one of the Win95's had a NIC which was a little flaky... It'd crash
the computer once or twice a day. So I replaced it with a different one -
and everything went to h*ck.
I think the new card is OK. The two Win95 boxes cooperate fully across
the Network Neighborhood; and I can play Doom 95 using TCP/IP between them.
I can still ping all around (by IP numbers and by names). But I can't FTP
or Telnet into the Linux Box. (The Linux Box can FTP and Telnet itself).
The Linux box shows up in the Win95 Network Neighborhood, but when I try
to browse it I get a 'server not available' message.
None of the config files have changed since the time it worked with the
old NIC. Since this network is so small and unlikely to change, I was doing
all my name resolving with the hosts & lmhosts files. (i.e., no DNS or
WINS). As I said, this worked once... And it still works for Ping.
My hosts file (for all three computers... the Linux box is named penguin):
#------------- Cut Here ----------------------------------------
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.1 penguin
192.168.1.2 daddys

My lmhosts file (for all three computers):

#------------- Cut Here ----------------------------------------
This all seems great. The Dell XPS233 comment had to have come across the
net. (Mommy's computer was off when these diagnostics were run.) The
'HOUSEHOLD" workgroup is correct, and is set on all three computers.
Test 4. 'nmblookup -B penguin __SAMBA__' -- gives good results:
#------------- Cut Here ----------------------------------------
Sending queries to 192.168.1.1
192.168.1.1 __SAMBA__<00>
#------------- Cut Here ----------------------------------------
Test 5. 'nmblookup -B daddys' -- Also seems good:
#------------- Cut Here ----------------------------------------
Sending queries to 192.168.1.2
192.168.1.2 *<00>
#------------- Cut Here ----------------------------------------
Test 6. 'nmblookup -d 2 '*' ' -- Still good...
#------------- Cut Here ----------------------------------------
Added interface ip=192.168.1.1 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0

Test 7. 'smbclient \\\\penguin\\tmp' -- No problems yet.

#------------- Cut Here ----------------------------------------
That was the last test that worked. Test 8 failed, which I'll cover in a
moment. First, I ran what I'll call Test 7.5 on the Win95 box:
Test 7.5. 'net view' -- gives:
#------------- Cut Here ----------------------------------------
Servers available in workgroup HOUSEHOLD.
Server name Remark
============================================================================
=================
\\DADDYS Daddy's Dell XPS233
\\PENGUIN Samba Jan 14 16:30
The command was completed successfully.
#------------- Cut Here ----------------------------------------
Again, the "Samba Jan 14 16:30" came across the net from my smb.conf file.
Now test 8:
Test 8. 'net view \\PENGUIN' -- gives:
#------------- Cut Here ----------------------------------------
Error 53: The computer name specified in the network path cannot be located.
Make sure you are specifying the computer name correctly, or try again later
when the remote computer is available.
#------------- Cut Here ----------------------------------------
That's all for now. Sorry this was so long.

-- Get a Linux distribution that comes with an instruction manual.
Have it install Apache.
-- Get a couple books.
-- Linux/Unix intro.
-- Linux Documentation Project (LDP) HOWTOs and guides.
-- Maybe an Apache book.
-- Check out http://www.aa.net/~swear/pedia/installing-linux.html and
the Apache section of http://www.aa.net/~swear/pedia/internet.html
-- Find out where to find online help. I suggest you start with:
--
Look for Linux info at http://www.dejanews.com/home_ps.shtml and in
Gary's Encyclopedia at http://www.aa.net/~swear/pedia/index.html
