Hi!
I had some problems with the installing of my PnP 33.6 Diamond Supra modem,
but finaly I made it to work... or at least I think so.
Here's the problem:
I installed the modem on COM2 and it works fine when I send commands like:
# echo "atdt666" > /dev/cua1
But it doesn't work with terminal emulators. For example in minicom when I
type something there's no output on the screen. In seyon it's the same but at
least it sends the strings to the modem. For example when i type 'ATDT1111' or
smth nothing appears on the screen but when I hit enter it executes it.

I had the exact same problem but I got it to work. Check out this website...it
has a Samba diagnosis:
http://samba.gorski.net/samba/samba.html
I would recommend setting up a share in smb.conf for your home directory to
test out samba. Do that, and then in Win 95, map to
\\servername\username and see if that works.

After 2-3 months of trying different approaches, and Q&A's to
Newsgroups, HOW-TO's, and FAQ's, I finally have a connection to my ISP.
My ISP asked me to bring in my tower and spent about 2-3 hours
investigating and trying different configuations. The one that worked is
described at:
http://www.sport-select.com/support/setup/linux/chat+pppd
Even that required the following change to work with RedHat 5.2:
change /dev/modem ==> /dev/ttySx (where "x" is your port number)

THis sounds like a solution I am looking for with my video driver, but I need
more detail.
So I do a directory in /etc/conf.modules ??? How do I play with aliases and

How do I get this driver I downloaded onto my system? Remember, I'm a newbie.

Subject: Linux/Win95 LAN
Date: Sun, 07 Feb 1999 23:12:49 GMT
This is probably very simple, but it's got me going around in
circles! I have a 486 running Red Hat 5.2 connected via hub to a P2
Win95 PC. Booted the 486 DOS and set up the 3C509 PnP NIC, rebooted and
got LED on hub. Set up IP on 486, got good ifconfig. Set up IP on PC;
could ping PC from Linux, could ping Linux from PC. COuld even WS_FTP
home dir on 486. But I had lost my dial-up on the PC. Dial-up only wants
to work with no auto IP- setting it seems to knock out PC dial-up. If I
set IP auto, then it knocks out network and I can't reach the Linux
machine. I have Win95 side set up;
Client for Windows
3Com adapter -> tcp protocol for 3COM -> bound to client
dial-up adapter -> tcp protocol for dial-up ->bound to client
If I change properties of tcp protocol for 3COM, it changes TCP for
dial-up, too. I though this might be because I have both bound to
client, but Win95 won't let me create another client!
How do I get these two things to peacefully coexist?

Turns out that net-tools 1-33 was broken, and net-tools 1-46 fixed it
(1-33.7 was also broken).
A side note: THe way I found this was someone else had the same
problem, and he *posted* the answer to the mailing list (linux-net) and
I found his *answer*.
Often people ask questions (like this one, 3 times), but do not post
answers. This leads to repeat answers and frustration.
Please take time out to post success, it helps document the community.

In a week, I'll be turning down an ISDN link and will have an
Ascend pipeline 50 for sale. I'm asking $350.00 plus shipping
or best offer. Includes Pipeline 50 Reference Guide and User's
Guide, ISDN cable, pipeline 50, 4.6b release notes addendum and
5.0a release notes addendum.
This router is two years old and has performed flawlessly as
the default router for a network of FreeBSD, Solaris, and Windoze
computers. This pipeline has a built-in NT1, model number P50-1UBRI.
It is currently running release 4.6b. I will upgrade it to the
current release of 5.0a before shipping if desired. See Ascends Website
for the 5.0a release notes, http://www.ascend.com.

I'm trying to install the Sockets++ library on my computer (RedHat 5.2,

./configure in the socket++ directory. The error is as follows:
checking whether c++ accepts -g... yes

Anyone have an idea what is causing this? Or where to find the latest

WTF is up with Netcom and PPP with Linux?
In W95/98 DUN the netcom username is "#netcom_username"
or you can use "us,ppp,netcom_username"
Well this is fine in DUN, but when I try to connect my linux box to netcom
the chat script fails. Propbaly because the # makes the netcom_username
into a comment. I have no idea why the "us,ppp,netcom_username" fails, the
log is below. I have no problem with my other provider, its simple and
works, but I want to have the ability to switch between my 2 ISP's depending
on who has better (less) lag...

Try this...after you connect to your ISP, issue the ifconfig command. In the
ppp0 section, look for the P-t-P xx.xx.xx.xx section for the ip address of your
server. This is the ip of your isp. Then try issuing the command 'default
route add gw xx.xx.xx.xx' . See if that helps any....it works for me I know
that.

I've been trying to get my two computers to share my ADSL connection and I seem
to have hit a brick wall.
My machine that is connected to the internet has two ethernet cards and both
appear to be working great. The networking on my other machine is working as well.
I've even tried to masquerade everything (ipfwadm -F -p m) and it still doesn't work.
I've recompiled the kernel, and done everything else I know to do. All I can think is
that the routing table must be wrong. Please help!!
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 16 eth1
4.3.32.0 * 255.255.240.0 U 0 0 4 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 24 lo

You have to compile icmp forwarding into the kernel. This is a seperate
option from compiling the general ip forwarding module.

using RedHat's Network Configurator. It connects nicely, but the routing is

Have you changed the permissions of the file smb2www.pl? Try doing
