Some suggestions:
i) Is anyone else using your IP address? Try "tcpdump host
<fixed_IP>" while using dhcp
ii) Are you sure you have the right netmask, broadcast addr etc.
configured?
iii) Can you ping the DNS server? Can you ping other devices if you
use IP addresses rather than names? If so, check your name service
setups.
iv) If all else fails, study the manpage for tcpdump and start looking
at what's going on on your network ... :(

Rubbish.
1.) "Man mgetty" would have told you that you have to
put the various arguments following the "-m" option into
quotation marks. Try it again with
mgetty -m '"" atz' -s 19200 -x 3 ttyS2
2.) Use the correct terminal name. tty2 would be a local console
instead of a modem device / serial port .

These last two lines didn't work for me. I switched to a 2.2 kernel
and the first two lines did work, no red bars whatsoever and no
complaint about a poor network.
However, those two lines also make sure that 192.168.1.2 is the
only host that can play battle.net. Is there a trick to allow
more hosts to play?

Date: Wed, 03 Feb 1999 15:13:44 GMT
Help?
DHCP is a common reality, but Caldera doesn't seem to support its client or
be interested. "Our OpenLinux distribution currently does not include a DHCP
client. So it isn't something that we are familure with to even give you
some pointers." (End of knowledge base entry)
So, I searched for a general use DHCP client, to find dhcpcd v. 1.3 from
Phystech (or something like that). It looks great, except that its readme
warns that it will not even compile without Glibc2. I know Caldera has
glibc2 _runtime_ libraries, so my question is, will this suffice? Has anyone
tried it?
If it cannot be made to work, does anyone have a dhcpcd ver. 0.70 or better
that was made for libc5 systems (Caldera or RedHat 4.2)?
Thanks.

I'm havin a little problem with my IP Masqing if someone can help. I
have my Linux box plugged directly to the net on a static IP. Then my
Win98 box connected to the Linux box on an network. Standard IP Masq
stuff. But once in a while the Win98 box will lose connection to the
internet.
Usually openning a telnet session into the Linux box using my internal
network IP (Internet IP will say unable to connect to host) will start
that up again. Any suggestions?
Also I've been having a problem with Diablo. It tells me my connection
is too poor to play a game but I can chat. Also says I'm not processing
any UDP packets. I was told I needed this setup for Diablo in
/etc/rc.d/rc.local
/usr/sbin/ipautofw -A -r udp 6112 6112 -c tcp 116
/usr/sbin/ipautofw -A -r udp 6112 6112 -c tcp 118
Which obviously doesn't work to well for me.

I have been trying the exact same setup, and I have the exact same
problem. I have been working on it and I believe the problem has to
do with setting the gateway ip number for the external NIC. The DHCP
setup works on the internal network, both network cards are recognized
by linux, and I can even ping the ISDN gateway router from behind the
firewall, but I can't figure out how to make the linux box forward
packets to the ISDN router so that I can get out to the web from
behind the firewall. If any one knows how to solve this problem your
help would be greatly appreciated.
All and all though my complements to Fireplug.net and their Edge
router for the other things that work right out of the box.

I get the same thing on my Win95 machine which is behind a firewall.
If your situation is like mine, my ISP has local "members only" pages
that reference http://www/somepage.html. The problem stems from the fact
that when your browser sees a request for a page on the host "www", DNS
assumes that it is on the local network (198.168.x.x in my case) behind
the firewall. Of course if you don't have a local host on your local lan
named www, you'll never get the page.
In my situation, I'm able to get the pages by typing in the FDQN (Fully
Qualified Domain Name) as www.myprovider.com/somepage.html, or by using
the ip address. However, like your situation, I don't see any graphics
due to the way in which the page HTML was written.
If they enter an IMG tag like:
<IMG SRC="http://www/graphics/some.gif">
Then once again your browser will not be able to find the host "www" on
which the image is located.
Running a proxy server to retrieve the pages would probably solve the
problem. That way the ISP side of your firewall would make the request
for the page and forward it to your local host.
I don't have much experience with proxy servers, so I you'd have to dig
for more information on them than I can provide.
Anyone else have a solution to this problem?

Engram, n.:
1. The physical manifestation of human memory -- "the engram."
2. A particular memory in physical form. [Usage note: this term is no longer
in common use. Prior to Wilson and Magruder's historic discovery, the nature
of the engram was a topic of intense speculation among neuroscientists,
psychologists, and even computer scientists. In 1994 Professors M. R. Wilson
and W. V. Magruder, both of Mount St. Coax University in Palo Alto, proved
conclusively that the mammalian brain is hardwired to interpret a set of
thirty seven genetically transmitted cooperating TECO macros. Human memory
was shown to reside in 1 million Q-registers as Huffman coded uppercase-only
ASCII strings. Interest in the engram has declined substantially since that
time.]

Is that CPU utilization or CPU load? Load is not expressed in percentages,
rather abosolute values. Is your load average staggering around 1.0? Or do you
just see 70% as the ps output. This is the time used over the time the process
has been running (or in the run-queue), and does not indicate it is directly
using 70% of the machines resources. It almost means that 30% of the time it
sits in the run queue, something else is being scheduled.

Place the IP address instead of the hostname in the the syslog.conf file.

Wade,
I had the same problem and it was indeed the /etc/resolv.conf file. In
my case, I did not have an entry for either "domain" or "search". As
Joe noted, don't put in an entry for "nameserver" unless you are using a
DNS. My file now looks something like this:
domain mydomain.com
search linux1.mydomain.com mydomain.com
nameserver 192.168.1.1
"mydomain.com" is the local domain (i.e., what you are calling your LAN)
and "linux1" is the machine name. I think the search line is the
important one, but I'm not sure. I haven't got the local DNS working
yet, but I do have a hosts file (/etc/hosts) set up. You might make sure
that file is set up properly as well.

Date: Wed, 3 Feb 1999 13:36:43 -0500
Hello,
I have a Redhat 5.0 box running an IBM token ring card. It has been
running fine for two weeks when suddenly it dropped off the network.
I came to the console and say, repeating every 2 seconds or so, the
following message:
tr0: Unknown command 06 in arb
I tried to bring the tr0 interface down using /sbin/ifconfig tr0 down
but that failed too, giving me some sort of adapter error message.
I also could not reboot -- it froze when trying to 'Unmount remote
file systems' though the system has no such filesystems mounted.
After reboot the system came back up fine and was up overnight.
However when I returned the next morning the same scenario played
through again.
What's going on?
Is this a card problem or a network problem or something else?
Thank you for any help you can provide.

Subject: lpd won't execute filter script
Date: Wed, 03 Feb 1999 18:49:23 GMT
What would keep lpd from executing a filter script on certain jobs or from a
certain host? I have the following entry in /etc/printcap (Redhat 5.0, kernel
2.0.33):
FSB3709E|LCPS1_FSB3709E|lcps1_fsb3709e:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/FSB3709E:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:lf=/var/log/lpd-err:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/FSB3709E/print:\
:lp=/dev/null:
the filter script is exceedingly simple (for testing):
#!/bin/sh
/bin/cat - > /tmp/lpdout.$$
If I send a job with lpr at the prompt of the local machine, the script is
executed. I have tested from other unix machines and even from a windows
machine and the script executes. There is one host that sends jobs, and lpd
accepts the job (confirmed with tcpdump), does not give any error to the log
file, but DOES NOT execute the script. The host is listed in hosts.lpd. If I
don't try to use an if= line, but just redirect to a printer with rm= and rp=
entries, then the job is processed.
The host that will not work is a mainframe over which I have no control, so I
must make my end work.
What could cause lpd to not execute the if= script for a particular host?? Is
this a bug?
Any ideas appreciated.

You need to set M0 (speaker always off) in the modem init string. USR
defaults to M1 (speaker on until connected). You can add it to the PPP
chat string or go into the modem, set M0 (using ATM0) and save it the
modem's NVRAM (using AT&W0). To do that, connect to the modem thus,
cu -l /dev/cua? (where ? is your modem comm port number - i.e. cua1)
then issue the modem commands
ATZ (reset the modem using stored NVRAM settings)
ATM0 (speaker always off)
AT&W0 (save current settings to NVRAM)
ATZ
ATI4 (this will display the current modem settings)

You may have to open up the premissions on the cua? device to use 'cu'.
Good luck.

The kernel that comes with Red Hat 5.1 which I
believe is 2.0.34
>And what were your exact steps to re-compiling
make mrproper
make xconfig
make dep
make clean
make zImage
make module_install
cp arch/i386/boot/zImage/boot/vmlinuz
I also tried a monolithic kernel with little
success.

I had a big problem with this card, too: could not configure it
properly using Xconfigurator etc. A solution that WORKED for me:
comment out all the videotiming lines in your XF86Config file
except one! Say, you want a 1024x768 resolution. Get rid of
all other resolutions and leave just a single 1024x768 mode that
fits your monitor.
It seems like this videocard has a strange memory effect: previously
read modes mess up subsequent ones. Expert opinions?
Best,

I agree the office connect products are very good and very relialble.
Another product line to consider is the Bay Networks. I have had very good
success with their Hubs and cards also. The ISDN router/modem is very
comparable to 3coms, but it has a few extra features which make it a little
more appealing in my mind. I have used it in several small businesses in my
area where more that 10 machines need an internet connection and the 3com
won't do more than 10 machines. The Bay Network also has a robust feature
for allowing users to call into the network also.
Either product is great, I have used both lines and I recommend both of
them.

It sounds like there is no route to your local network in the kernel
routing table. Check the output of 'netstat -rn' and you should see
entry for your network address 192.168.x.0 with the gateway set the
Ethernet card IP address. If that's missing, add the route using
/sbin/route add -net 192.168.x.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.x.x
seting the gateway to your Ethernet card IP. Then try pinging the NT boxes.
Packet sniffers read everything on the Ethernet wiring without regard to
routing, IP or MAC addresses. Ping, however, requires an entry in the
routing table or it reports the network as unreachable and the data
packets are never generated.
