Frankly, if the light is dark, you can play with drivers all day and not get
anywhere. First swap the cable, check for lights, and if that doesn't work then
swap the card. You should always have some kind of link light activity with a
working card/cables, even without working drivers.
I doubt NT could have damaged it, but those things tend to die often for no
reason.

Subject: Diskless system - bootp card
Date: Wed, 3 Feb 1999 19:47:04 -0000
I am trying to build a diskless workstation using Linux. I can't use local
HD/FD so I need to know if there is a card that will take the place of a HD
and its boot sector that will allow me to put in all the required bootp
software in FLASH Rom/ or even the whole OS.
I have heard that some network cards have a socket for a ROM that is used
for this sort of thing, but I understood that card was for Novell only. If
that is not correct, can anyone tell me whether there is a source for a
Linux compatible chip or source for this? I do not know much about the NIC
hardware, so if I am saying something stupid I apologize.
Thanks in advance.

This is really going to depend on how you've set the gateway pointers on
your client machines. Just because Linux will route between two networks
doesn't mean it necessary do so. If a client station on 192.168.1.0
sends a data packet destined for 192.168.2.0 to the Netware router, Linux
will never see it. Even though it is being sent to the other network,
the packet is addressed to the router (Netware 5 in this example) with
the utimate destination. The client doen't know how to get the data to
the other network, but Netware 5 does, so it sends it to Netware 5 to be
forwarded. Since the packet was never addressed to the Linux box, it
ignores it completely.
It should be safe to leave the two Ethernet cards in the Linux box.

Netmask for this address should be 255.255.255.0 and is literally a mask
which tells which bits in the IP address represent the network address (set
to 1) and which the host address (set to 0).

Named actually listens on a "port" number, which is kind of like a
subaddress for IP. Named will listenon all active interfaces, ethernet
and ppp alike, for requests on it's port number. Look in /etc/services
for a list of all the standard ports used by IP.

: not replacing existing default route to eth0
This is the problem. You have a default route set up for eth0 and pppd
won't replace an existing default route even with the defaultroute option.
One solution is to take out the default route to eth0, it's rather
unlikely that you need more than a network route. Then pppd will set
a default route to the ISP host through the ppp interface.
You can also add
/sbin/route add default ppp0
to /etc/ppp/ip-up should you really need to have a default route to eth0.
This will override the eth0 default route and you will automatically
get the eth0 default route back when the ppp interface is torn down at
the end of the ppp session.

Subject: FreeBSD write fail to Linux nfs-server
Date: Thu, 04 Feb 1999 13:15:00 +1100
I've recently built a new Linux server (Debian slink)
to take over some duties from an existing FreeBSD box.
The FreeBSD box was acting as an NFS server to another
FreeBSD box, however a strange I/O error has occured
after supplanting the Linux box.
The client is FreeBSD 2.2.5 and the server is Linux 2.0.36.
I setup a basic /etc/exports file on the Linux server:
/home/logs/grunty.squid.logs grunty.icn.unimelb.edu.au
then mounted it OK from 'grunty' using /etc/fstab
mary:/home/logs/grunty.squid.logs /var/squid-logs-archive nfs rw
0 0
I could set all the server UID's to the client UID's (only
one user needs access), mounted it and all looked well.
Sometime later a script failed that relied on the mount.
The script couldn't write to the mounted partition.
The script is non-root (so it's not a root-squash issue).
I can ls, cd and remove files however copying files
fails with a 'input/output error' message. I changed the
exports file to specifically allow (rw). Same problem.
Freebsd.org states that 'some linux boxes' prefer -P
so I used 'mount -o -P mary:/... ...'. Same problem.
Is there a compatibility issue between some versions
of FreeBSD and Linux?

Dear Linux World,
I'm a newbie to Linux. Hope somebody can give me suggestion (any r

When I try to install dhcpcd (installation of both dhcp-1.2.1-tar.gz
and dhcp-3.3.1-tar.gz failed: make-SYSTEM_NAME for 1.2.1 and ./configure
then make for 3.3.1), ERROR termination of "make" occur during the
process. missing of some header files e.g. ip_var.h are reported.
I really didn't find those files in the /usr/include/ dir but I
found them in the /usr/src/linux/include/ dir. What should I do? And I
some files, they use "<#include asm/HEADER.h> where in the /usr/include/
dir, I didn't got the file; and in the /usr/src/linux/include/ dir, only
asm-i386, asm-sunos, ..etc dirs are found instead of just asm/ dir. What
should I do? Should I move those file into the /usr/include/? What if I
also cannot find some missing header files in the source
/usr/src/linux/include?...
Thank you very much.

So,
you want 30 addresses, right ?
In that case just use "255.255.255.224" and "296.150.12.40/27".
This will give you a 32hosts-subnet (including Broadcast-, and netaddress).
If you need more, the next step are of course 64hosts...

1. you hopefully did compiled your kernel with "ip-forwarding/gatewaying" enabled
2. it is actually "against the art", that you are using the SAME subnet for the
ppp0-ipaddress and the eth0-address (192.168.0.40 / 255.255.255.248).
Logically a gateway divides at least two networks.Thus, two separated networks can
not be on the same subnet. Maybe this is already the root of the problem...

This may be dumb, but i couldn't fit it anywhere.
Is there some way to tell `named' which addresses to listen on?
It appears to use whatever addresses are active when it starts up.
For a machine on multiple networks, this may be good, but if the extra
addresses are aliases for virtual hosts, i think there's no point to it,
since no one should do queries there anyway.
For a dial-up machine, it appears to listen on PPP if it's started while
the machine is dialed up, and otherwise not.
These don't really cause harm, but i'd like to control it.
This is on RH 5.1 if it matters.

Yes, many people have done this. I am posting this from my Linux box now.

As far as I know there are two different systems that Road Runner uses.
One uses Kerberos authentication to allow you to login to the network. Have
a look at http://home.neo.lrun.com/rrlinux/index.html for information on how
to set up your system to work with this system. The other type, which is
the one used here in the Albany area does not. We are using Toshiba cable
modems. There is a small program that I can send you if you need to login
to this type of system. As of now [at least here] you do not need to login
to gain access to the network.
You will need to use dhcp no matter which type of system your local road
runner uses. The rrdhcpcd program available at the site mentioned above
works very well. This dhcp client is only useful with the 2.0 kernels. For
the 2.2 kernels you need to use the latest version of dhcpcd 1.3.
I hope this help.. Good luck

It does, it's just kind of buried in the part about kernel config.
---from the IP-Masquerade HOWTO:
� Here are the options that you need to compile in:
Say YES to the following,
...
* IP: forwarding/gatewaying
CONFIG_IP_FORWARD
---
Note that telling the system to enable IP forwarding
probably varies significantly from one distribution to the next.
The poster above referred your to /etc/sysinit/network - on RedHat
systems, the place to look is /etc/sysconfig/network for a line
called FORWARD_IPV4.
