Anybody out there having problems with an SMC EtherEZ card??? For some
reason, if I configure the address and IRQ, to any valid setting, I get
either an eth0 initialization delayed, or another error, that escapes me at
the moment. And if I have the card autoprobe...I get the same thing. I
have had this problem with 3 identical cards. I am running RH 5.2
any help would be appreciated

Greetings all,
Sorry if this has been covered before, but after upgrading to 2.2.1
all local host names in /etc/hosts are no longer being resolved.
I have upgraded to net-tools 1.50, but this doesn't fix the problem.
gethostbyaddr() times out and cannot resolve names listed in /etc/hosts
Any ideas?

Hello everyone,
Thanks so much to those of you who have been replying to my messages.
You have all been so helpful. I hope to return the favor some day.
Next Problem:
I have built my new server and installed RH5.2 Deluxe. I have never
used a modem in this machine before. I have a generic 14.4 modem that
worked in my last machine, but can't make it work in the new box.
It is either something about the new machine, or the new linux.
Any ideas?
Please help.
New machine:
AMD K62/350
2 cdroms
2 IDE hard drives
1 generic video card(ISA)
1 Netgear nic(PCI)
please reply by mail.

Subject: ODBC connection between WinNT application and database running on Linux?
Date: Fri, 5 Feb 1999 17:07:21 -0500
I have a web application that runs on a WinNT box. The web app gets it's
data from an ODBC data source, usually a Microsoft SQL Server.
I would very much like to host the data off a Linux machine. I know that
many database vendors have begun to support Linux (Sybase, Oracle, Informix)
but I don't know whether that means I can host data from Linux for Windows
ODBC apps.
I've cast about in vain to find ODBC drivers for Sybase, though I'm told
they exist. I'm a little intimidated by Oracle.
Any advice? Anyone done this sort of thing before?

I just made a little test. My ISP hosts a domain say "mydomain.dk" for me. Next, I
defined a internal zone hosting the same domain - I know this is not recommended but
anyhow ... Running nslookup on e.g. www.mydomain.dk returns the local ip address NOT
the ip address of the isp server hosting the official www.mydomain.dk. This despite

I think it is better to just remove the root zone from your named.conf file.

Have you tried to remove the "." zone AND use "forward only" ?

Probably more likely that NT fails to properly check if an IP is in=20
use before assigning it. We have this trouble with the Netware (NT?)=20
DHCP server at our factory. We do not use Netware or NT at our=20
office, but since its DHCP serving and our frame relay has been flaky=20
at times, I have assigned static IP's to machines on our LAN. When a=20
new machine is added using DHCP by default, it temporarily steps on=20
one of our other machines until I have a chance to set its IP.
A good DHCP server will check if an IP is in use before assigning it,=20
but who here thinks that NT is good? 8-)

Subject: Workstation can ping to, not thru Linux IP Masq. firewall. Please help?
Date: Sat, 06 Feb 1999 01:21:56 GMT
Please help. I've hunted for hours for the solution to this; please don't
ask me to "rtfd."
I can http to the web from my soon-to-be Linux firewall with lynx. I can
ping to and from my Win95 workstation, but my workstation cannot http to the
web or even ping the ISP's DNS server. I followed the instructions in the
IP_Masqerade Mini-Howto, as far as I can tell.
Setup: I use Caldera OpenLinux 1.3 which came with ipfwadm 2.3 r2, and
recompiled the existing kernel 2.0.35 saying Yes to these options:
- Prompt for development and incomplete code.
- Enable module support
- Set ver. info on modules
- Networking support
- Limit mem to low 16 M (I have 8M)
- System V IPC
- Network Firewalls
- TCP/IP Networking
- IP forwarding/gatewaying
- IP multicasting
- IP Syn cookies
- IP Firewalling
- Packet logging
- IP Masquerading
- IP autofw masquerading
- ICMP masquerading
- Transparent Proxy support
- Always Defragment
- IP accounting
- Multicast Routing
- Drop Source Routed Frames
I accidentally optimized as host, not as router. But an optimization
shouldn't cause this problem. The 2 ethernet cards on the Linux box are
loaded successfully as modules. Again, I can ping through each card on each
machine. The ne module required another module, 8390, to work. No other
modules are loaded. The Win95 box is set to use the Linux box as a gateway,
but the ISP's DNS servers. No protocols other than TCP/IP are present.
I tried various ipfwadm commands to make it work, including the most
insecure (to start with functionality and secure from there). E.g.,
ipfwadm -F -p allow, ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.0.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0,
ipfwadm -F -p masquerade, etc. I've tried one or two other commands that
I've seen in newsgroup postings. I forget what they were. Pings from the
workstation all time out. There is no other kind of error message from
either machine.
Thanks for any help! If you want me to use tcpdump or view some logs, please
give details. Please help!

It's hidden away in the Internet icon in Control Panel, through if you've

those scripts are invoked with the PPP addresses needed by the ipfwadm

Having not delved (yet) into the world of ppp, I don't know
if pppd needs to be suid to root, or can be suid to something
else (I suspect the uucp ID might work, if permissions
and ownership of other files/devices is set correctly).
Anyway, 3 programs control this sort of thing.
chown - change ownership of the file
chgrp - change grp of the file
chmod - change mode (permissions) of the file.
Normally, chmod is used with a 3 digit, base 8 (octal)
number, where a 4 signifies read permission, a 2
signifies a write permission and a 1 signifies execute
permission. So if you wanted all 3, they are added
together to give a 7. The 3 digits correspond to
owner, members of the same group, and everyone else.
It is possible to give chmod a 4 digit octal number.
In this case, the first digit controls some special
properties. A 4 controls SUID (set user ID), a 2
controls SGID (set group ID), and I think a 1 sets
the sticky bit. Anyway, if you really want pppd
to be owned by root, in the group root, SUID to root
and executable to the world at large, the chmod string
is:
chmod 4755 /usr/sbin/pppd

I had a similar problem when I had upgraded from pppd 2.2.0 to pppd
2.3.5: The connection was properly established, the interface was
configured as it should be and the routes were set, too. But
unfortunately, I wasn't able to transmit any data over the line.
Now I know that this is a bug in pppd 2.3.5. It seems that it doesn't
handle the flow control correctly. Try to replace 'crtscts' with
'xonxoff' in the pppd-options and if it works, please let me know.

Hi!
There is a modem-server-software called modem 1.0. I never used it, so i
can�t say anything about it but what you can find in the readme-file of
the package. I found it on a sunsite mirror in the
linux/network/serial-section. i�ll copy you some lines of the readme
here, so you can decide if this is what you are looking for .
good luck, eckardt
from the readme of modem-1.0:
"
The system works as follows:
Each host on a network with one or more modems attached to it, runs
the modemd server to make one or more of these modems available on
that network.
To use a modem, for example to establish a PPP connection,
modemcontrol broadcasts a message on the network. A server who is
willing to serve modemcontrol, replies with it's address.
modemcontrol then connects to that server using tcp. The server
forks and restarts listening for new requests. The new child opens
and locks one of the available modems and will try to establish a
connection by dialing the remote site. After a connection is
established, the child will read data from the modem and the tcp
connection until either a hangup from the modem is detected or the
network connection is broken. All data read from the tcp connection
will be copied to the modem, all data read from the modem will be
copied to modemcontrol.
modemcontrol uses the personal phone book to get the number to dial.
After dialing it allocates a pseudo terminal and let the environment
variable MODEM point to it. It then executes the program as given on
the command line. Modemcontrol also creates a new window with
information about the modem.
The program executed by modemcontrol can be any program. The program
can communicate with the modem by reading and writing to ${MODEM}.
The program does not need to worry about the type of the modem or
about things like dialing and terminal settings. The ppp script
included in this package for example, just pops up a login window
(modemlogin) and starts the pppd server.
Advantages:
-All hosts on the network can use several modems. A modem need not
be attached to the host itself.
-The package hides the details of communicating with the modem (like
dialing, terminal settings etc.) from the clients.
-The client does not need to know the internals of all different
modems. In fact, it can use them all.
-Just one interface to communicate with modems. No need for several
different configuration files for each program that uses the modem.
-Clients can concentrate on what they are designed for.
-You can choose from a textual, Motif, Xt or Tcl/Tk interface for
the several clients that are included. the textual interface does
not provide dialogs nor does it provide the help facility.
Identification:
The identd server is used by modemd to identify the remote user of
modemcontrol. This server needs therefore to be running on your
system.
Context sensitive help
If you have netscape installed on your system, you can use the
context sensitive help system from within the several tools
included. Unfortunately this system is not as helpful as it should
be.
Platforms
Currently the modem software is known to run on both Linux and
Solaris 2.x (at least the x86 version) platforms. The Solaris 2.x
sparc and HP-UX platforms have been tested using the virtual modem
device that is included in the package (see the file ./tests/README
in the source tree of the package).
Problems:
Although this is the first non-beta release, the software still may
(and probably will) have several bugs. Please inform me about any
bugs, recommendations or improvements.
To do:
-Implementation of a graphical phone book using the entries in the
personal phone book. It should allow users to select and edit
entries in the phone book.
-Several scripts that use the accounting information for making phone
bills etc.
-Fax support.

Hi Tim!
I�m not an expert on things like theese and your text doesn�t give much
details. So just a few hints:
- maybe try to change the hostname to anything else than "localhost" because
this in usually the name given to the internal loopback (127.0.0.0) device on
every linux/unix-box. I�m not shure weather this might cause problems either on
your or on remote site but it�s better anyway...
-have a look at your routing table by typing "route" at the shellpromt. In a
simple LAN it should contain a line with a defaultgate entry like
default gatewayhost.mynet 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 2
eth0
if not try to
ping to your gateway, if it works add one using
#route add default gw gatewayhostname
(note: it gets lost on a reboot! make an entry in /etc/route.conf (could be
different in redhat) )-look at the networking howtos! they should come with the
distribution and often are the fastest way to come to working configs.

I don�t no redhat at all. but i don�t think they change the networksettings
when changing to the console-runlevel . ;)
good luck, eckardt
