There are various other solutions. The one I know of is port forwarding -
anything coming into the box with the real intenet IP on a specific port gets
re-directed to an internal machine. For more details, see

Try doing the usual things:
Use pppd options "asyncmap 0", 115200, and crtscts .
Use setserial in the bootup script with the spd_vhi option, although
with the new kernel this may not be necessary - it looks like the kernel
code does this for you but I'm not sure. The higher speed allows modem
compression to speed up transfer of uncompressed files. You might work
around the error message by using the spd_custom and divisor options.
Possibly do a one-time "stty 38400 < /dev/ttySx", where ttySx is the
modem device node, to set the speed initially.
Make sure that /etc/gettydefs is configured so that it can autobaud to
a lower speed if line conditions don't support a speed of 38400.
The connect speed can be found using the right modem AT command setting
and looking at the log /var/log/messages.
: Also, compression never works (as far as I know - maybe there is
: compression being used besides what the kernel reports as disabled?).
You can use the pppd option noccp the eliminate the ppp negotiations
for CCP since MS stuff seems to be incompatible with what Linux offers
and vice versa.

I've got a linux server with redhat 5.2 (with kernel 2.0.36)
The 3COM card is a 3c905. It's in 100Mhz mode. (at boot up time is says
so.)
The Hub (100Mhz) also confirms it, and i can connect to the server.
(It's running Samba server 2.0).
However, if i do speed test's it performs like a 10Mhz card, about
800K/Sec.
The workstation also has a 3COM 3c905b, which i set at 100Mhz, full
duplex.
Does anyone know what is wrong? And how (and in what config files) to
change settings for the network interface card?.
Ps, I'm new to Linux... ;)

Red Hat 5.2 Linux.
Tried both Turbo 16/4 and Auto 16/4 Token Ring Adapters and got the same
problem from both: Continuous error logs and very slow response.
Ran LANAIDC /FAST=AUTO16 then LANAIDC /VIEW to make sure that all
parameters are OK.The LAN is known as working fine.
Eventhough the adapter runs, it keeps logging errors as follows:
tr0: ISA P&P adapter found using irq 11, PIOaddr a20, 16K shared RAM.
tr0: Hardware address : 00:04:AC:B7:E9:97

.
"ifconfig -a" shows no errors at all.
.
1- Could somebody tell me what these "Frequency" errors are?
2- Are there any other Linux logs or traces where I could find some
additional info about this problem?

No, it is not IP masquerading's fault. Tell us which connection is
keeping the link up. Do a 'killproc -SIGUSR2 /usr/sbin/diald',
assuming that's where it resides, and check what it writes to
/var/log/messages. What ports and addresses are involved?

Kim,
I use Leafnode for a small news server (it state explicitily in the doc
that it is not for very many users). It works great. I have it check
with my uplevel news server every 20 minutes for updates. It only
downloads groups that I read, so I don't waste alot of space.

Subject: 3c509b problems
Date: Tue, 09 Feb 1999 21:54:38 GMT
Ok here is the problem,
I have a laptop and a pc connected by 10baseT.
Laptop has a 3com3c589b nic.
Pc has a 3com3c509b TPO nic.
Both machines have w95 and rh5.2 installed.
w95 to w95 works fine
rh5.2 to rh5.2 doesn't work.
Laptop has IP 193.78.85.238
PC has IP 193.78.85.200
Laptop works fine with rh5.2 on the network of the company where I work.
I disabled PnP, and configured the card with irq 11 and io 0x300, using
the dos program that came with the installation disk.
Linux picks the card up at boot with the right irq and io. Everything
looks fine.
When I ping the pc from the laptop, there is no answer. The interrupts
in /proc/interrupts however increase for 11 3c509.
Here follow ifconfig and netstat -r for the laptop

Running RH 5.0, the loopback network interface is not up after a reboot.
The ethernet interface eth0 is up. If I run ifconfig lo up, it is then
there. I cannot figure out why this has started happenning! It used to
be ok. I could load a fix line as above to the init file (is it
rc.local, I'm not on the linux box right now?), but I suspect that the
failure to startup th loopback is symptomatic of another problem and
would like to get to the bottom of it!
So, where in the startup scripts does it tell the comp to start the
loopback device??

which way do you connect to your provider - netcard or modem ?
couldn't find any information about that -
do you use ppp, yes or no ?
in case (yes) , more information on the ppp-setup is needed.

Hi..
I am trying to build a printserver with RedHat 5.2 and Samba 2.0.0 .
Everything works like a charm but I can't get the server to print
a bannerpage (burstpage) with each job.
I am in desperate need of help here. I narrowed my problem down to
lpd and/or lpr. If I stop a printer and send a job to it, the
/var/spool/lpd/printer directory contains a cf- and a df-file.
The cf-file has all the info I want on the banner, but it simply
doesn't print! Not even when I try "lpr -C something -P printer <<filename>>"
Here is the /etc/printcap. As you can see, I am not suppressing
the printing of a bannerpage.
printer:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/printer:\
:mx#0:\
:rm=9.132.84.250:\
:rp=PASS:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/printer/filter:
Any kind of help would be greately appreciated. Please followup
or reply by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The really depressing thing is that I see numerous postings of
people that can't get rid of the banner. I know several ways to
stop the printing of banners, but I need a bannerpage and I can't
get the damn thing to print!

Date: Wed, 10 Feb 1999 12:53:39 -0500
HI all
I have a little problem. When I installed RedHat 5.2, everything went
fine except the sound card didn't work. issuing the command 'cat
/dev/sndstat' would display no information on the device.
So, I compiled a new kernel, and configured the sound properly. I know
it because it worked. Didn't change anything else when I configured the
kernel.
The sound card worked, but no network anymore. When booting the new
kernel, I can see the "Delaying initialization of eth0". Huh?
When I boot the original kernel, no problem, the network works. But no
sound......
So I can't have the best of 2 worlds for now. I tried a couple of
things, like putting the following line in /etc/lilo.conf:
append="ether=10,0xc000,eth0"
then ran "lilo", rebooted, still no network (but great sound, though ;-)
I ran "netconfig", saw that the device was deactivated, so tried to
activate it, didn't work. Even rebooted, still no result, besides the
great sound.
It may be worth mentioning here that there is no hardware conflict for
sure (because if I boot Win98, both devices work, and I don't mean here
that Windoze is better than the beloved Linux, au contraire).
Any clue anyone?

I'm trying to get 2.4 GHz WaveLAN non-IEEE cards to work on two linux
2.2.1 systems, and I'm having a few problems.
1) Neither system recognizes the cards when booted. I've turned off ISA PNP
in the bios and on the system; I set the jumpers to 0x390 io base address,
but neither when I boot the system with the thing compiled into the kernel nor
when I load a module does the system recognize it.
I am going to try putting together a dos boot floppy to test the hardware to
make sure it's not a hardware or bios problem, but I suspect it's a driver
issue.
2) When I try compiling the wireless tools, they fail to build, giving the
following errors:

I do not have a clue of what to do. The card is called "Realtek RTL8029" and
it should be ne2000 compatable. Windows is telling me that it is on IRQ 9 and
I/O DF80-DF9F.
I would be very happy if someone would help me.

maybe its not so simple -
is this ethernetcard compatible to something that has a linux-driver
(like ne2000, or 3com509, or ....?)
i use a absolut simple ne2000 -compatible pcmcia-ethernetcard, and its
automatically recognized at startup -
didn't even have to compile the driver into the kernel .

Hi,
I am busy configuring an internal 33K6 modem, it works al fine with i.e.
Minicom, the modem calls out perfectly.
But the problem is when i make a interrnet connection through PPP i hear the
modem is Reset but he doesn't dial out.
The scripts for this are good (i think) because these scripts are working
perfectly when i'm using my 14k4 external modem attached on com2.
My internal modem is configured as /dev/ttyS2 irq 10
At boot:
Feb 8 18:33:26 P150 kernel: tty00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
Feb 8 18:33:26 P150 kernel: tty01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
Feb 8 18:33:26 P150 kernel: tty02 at 0x03e8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
I configured the internal modem with: setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 10 and then
made a symbolic link /dev/modem
Does anybody know this problem??
