Date: Fri, 12 Feb 1999 15:02:02 GMT
I just got a Mac LC-III running system 7.5.5 and want to be able to share
files with my Linux server (Slackware 3.4) and I have tried to set it up
without much luck. I compiled it into the kernel and I download the atalk
package. I get the atalkd and other resident thigns running but still
don't see anything on the mac..
It is possible that I have no idea how to use networked drives in MacOS.
I am assuming I go to the chooser and there should be a list of available
servers but the box is always empty. I know the network card works fine as
I can telnet to the server, etc.
Any help is appriciated, please email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Looks like you don't have a proper route added to your route table...please post
>route -n< as well as your >ifconfig -a< and the network adress you are trying
to ping. Maybe you are in a different subnet?
You should also try monitoring the network traffic with >tcpdump -i eth0(or
whatever your NIC is)< while you are trying to ping other machines.

Also -
- WinNT & 98 by default encrypt passwords, does the linux box samba services have
password encryption enabled AND is the username/passwords on the linux box using
the same username/passwords as the windows machines
- By default, ftp/telnet services are not enabled on 95/98 (NT?). You have to
have the services started either by manually starting them or putting them in the
startup folder.

Subject: linux to sgi remote access
Date: Sat, 13 Feb 1999 22:24:17 GMT
Hi I'm using redhat linux 5.2. I want to remote access to my machine at
work. My work place machine is a sgi workstation with irix 6.5. I'm able to
successfully dial-in from win 98. But I don't know how to do it from linux.
(I'm a newbee and have installed linux just last week on my home pc)
This is what I have tried so far on linux (doesn't work!)
===========================================
1)use netcfg (or the networking icon from the control panel)
2)click on interface tab and fill out my login, passwd and phone no
3) click on the first tab and fill out the domain
4) come back to interface tab and click on activate
5) use ifconfig to find out if the connection takes place
6) use ping <machine name>. It says unknown host error
Could you please help me out. Where should I type in XXXX.com and XXXX1 in
the above settings? (I have substitued XXXX for my company name. XXXX.com and
XXXX1 is explained below. )
the steps I follow to connect from win98 are as follows(works!)
======================================================== Installing
Microsoft's TCP/IP Protocol: Click the Start Button on the task bar, slide up
to Settings and select Control Panel. Double click on the Network icon. The
Network dialog box will appear. Click the Add button, double click on
Protocol in the Select Network Component Type dialog box. Next click the
Identification tab and enter your last name. Enter <XXXX1> in the Domain Name
Workgroup Field. Double click Microsoft in the Select Network Protocol dialog
box, then select TCP/IP and click OK.
Configuring TCP/IP:
Select TCP/IP in the Network dialog box and click Properties.
In the TCP/IP Properties dialog box, select DNS configuration. Set DNS
configuration to:
Enable DNS
Domain name to <XXXX.com>
You must enter a Host name in the Host box. If you do not know what your Host
name is type in your last name.
In the IP address dialog box choose Obtain an IP address automatically.
Under the WINS Configuration tab select: Use DHCP for WINS resolution.
Creating a Dial-Up Networking Connection: From the Desktop, double click on
the My Computer icon. Double click the Dial-Up Networking folder in the My
Computer window. In the Dial-Up Networking window, double click the Make New
Connection icon. The Make New Connection wizard will ask you for the
necessary information to define a connection. When the wizard is finished
defining the connection, a new icon will appear in the Dial-Up Networking
window.
Could you PLEASE help me out.
Thanks

You can recompile the kernel with the cs89x0 as a module (presuming
that your kernel version has it), or you can download

rpm itself can also be comprimised. you never know. the complete
reinstall is really the only way. you *did* make backups of important
configuration information, didn't you?
it's sad how backup systems remain expensive and are not made standard
with your system. a good tape drive is as essential as a cd-rom
player imho. yet major PC manufactures seldom include a back-up
system in their products.

Greetings,
I'm switching my home computers over to Linux. At this point I want to
set up a network between a Linux and Win98 computer. I would like the
Linux computer to be the host and gateway for the Win98 box. Before I
changed to Linux I had a working network using the 3com Office Connect
kit. Two NICs cable and hub.
On the linux machine I can't get the hub light for the NIC to come on,
as I said I'm real new at this and any guidance for first steps would be
greatly appreciated.
I'm running Red 5.2 kernal 2.0.36 on a p2 300. If further information
is need please let me know.
Thanks in advance,

Subject: 2 Ethernet Cards/DHCP/2.0.x Kernel=Disaster, Help?
Date: Fri, 12 Feb 1999 14:53:04 GMT
I've got a machine in a production environment running RedHat 5.1
(2.0.36, custom kernel config, std libc, etc...), with a single
ethernet connection to a LAN and an ISDN connection to the world.
This box does IPMasqing and acts as our Proxy for web queries for the
LAN behind it. Otherwise the box does very little, but is very
important.
We're trying to upgrade our ISDN connection to a Cable Modem (8x
bandwidth, 1/3 the cost--why not?) except that requires that the linux
box run DHCP (for @HOME) and that we put another ether card in the box
(to hook up the cable-modem).
DHCP 0.7 will not run with two Ethernet cards.[1] It disables the
cards for about 60 seconds and then fails to intialize anything. Also
it does not support the "-h" switch that's required with @HOME. DHCP
1.3 will not run with a kernel revision lower than 2.1.70, but does
what I need. (It compiles fine under 2.0.36, just fails to run and
gives a socket error in the logfile.)
My question is twofold:
1. Does anyone see an obvious way out of this WITHOUT having to
install a 2.2.x kernel on the machine?
2. If I do wind up having to build a 2.2 kernel, and installing it on
this 2.0.36 machine, what kinds of difficulties can I expect? All of
the modules will have to be rebuilt (obviously), anything else?
Thank you.
[1] It's documented this way...I guess it's a feature.

I had a system that would die that way, with no error messages -- it
would hang, I could bring up another console and type a username, but not
log into it. It turned out to be a toasted SIMM, not something I could
blame on Linux.

Hi there!
I installed my new SuSe 6.0 with KDE.
I set up ppp and can dial in to my ISPs.
I can even ping them and ping any other host on the net (if I use
valid IP address).
Still, my Netscape cannot connect to any site. It just brings message
that host name cannot be found.
What am I missing in the settings?

Hi,
I am sorry to tell you, but I had a similar problem that got cured when
using xonxoff instead of crtscts!
I had been upgrading a SuSE 5.3 distribution to 6.0 which comes with a 2.0.36
kernel and pppd 2.3.5. I have a noname modem and an AMD K6-200 on a gigabyte TX3 mb.
To me, this supports the idea of a pppd-2.3.5 bug...

Here's some advice: Use pppd instead of dip. Dip uses pppd for the PPP
mode anyway. The pppd option X:, where X is your static IP address,
is made to do the trick you need. That's the IP in dotted quad form
followed by a colon. "man pppd" can explain in more detail. The ISP
should accept X as your IP and provide for itself the IP that it needs.

Subject: PPP connection keeps dropping intermittently - how do I determine why?
Date: Fri, 12 Feb 1999 12:32:45 -0500
I am running RedHat 5.2 with the pppd which shipped with it. I have it set
up so that it dials when linux is booted up. This works fine, and I am able
to use the internet just fine. I am running the machine as a gateway for
several other machines. All machines can access the internet fine. I am
using a Bitsurfer Pro external ISDN adapter which is setup to connect with
one 64Kpbs channel.
The problem is, that the connection drops several times a day for some
reason. At first I thought it might be some kind of inactivity time out,
but I think I have ruled that out, since the connection drops no matter if
there is traffic on the connection or not.
When the connection drops, ifconfig -a reports errors collecting on the ppp0
interface every time something trys to access the internet. It is almost as
if pppd thinks that it is still connected, even though it is not. I can
also see that pppd is trying to send data to the ISDN adaptor, but the
Bitsurfer is not connected at this point. I can tell, because there is a
light for the connection that is off.
If I kill the pppd at this point, the machine will reconnect to the internet
no problem.
I used to run this same sort of configuration with WinNT4.0 and some gateway
software, but I would rather run linux. I didn't seem to have this problem
under NT, so I am thinking that my hardware, and ISP are not to blame???

know that if I "deactivate" my interface, I can no longer ping my own IP,
and get a "network unreachable" message, and when I reactivate the
interface, I can ping my IP just fine. Does that confirm that my interface
is definitely working? My interface is actually an ethernet card connected
through a cable modem. Also, when I re-boot into linux, a nano-second
after my interface is loaded, my cable modem lights up indicating a
connection to the PC. So everything I've seen tells me my interface
works, and that the fault is in the routing.
But the gateway set-up seems so simple that I cant see where it is going
wrong... As far as I know the ONLY place that the gateway is specified
is in /etc/sysconfig/network, and this is what I have:
NETWORKING=yes
FORWARD_IPV4=no
HOSTNAME=CS373959-A
GATEWAYDEV=eth0
GATEWAY=24.65.228.1
Is there any other place where the routing could be getting screwed up???
Thanks for your help, as I am getting EXTREMELY frustrated here...

An hour? Heheh. Try checking /var/log/messages. It's probably
writing to the system logs. You may want to delete the log for that
day. It's gotta be huge after an hour.

I find that another vial statistic is how much work the executive does
on the back edge of the interrupt. Often, an RTOS will do this sort
of thing to reduce interrupt latency:-
intr02:
jsr usr_vec_02
jsr _process_delayed_isr_list
; decide about any context switch, and clear the interrupt
; condition, then allow any newly scheduled task to run
; (or let the running task continue)
jmp _reschedule1_from_intr
