Subject: Can NT with NTFS coexist with RedHat Linux
Date: Sat, 13 Feb 1999 17:45:26 GMT
I have a computer currently running NT server using NTFS. I like to add a
second harddisk to the computer and install RedHat Linux on this drive. The
second harddisk will be used for Linux exclusively. I understand that if NT
is using FAT, there would not be any problem. Since my system is using
NTFS, can I install RedHat Linux on this system?
Thank you for any advise.

We've been using it for over two weeks now on medium load servers (both
have dual processors) without problem except...
One of them has died mysteriously twice in those two weeks--no messages
in the in the /var/log/messages at all. Someone suggested it might have
had something to do with having two Ethernet cards (something about arp
and two mac addresses and only one ip address--someone want to explain
to me?) in it so we pulled one out and no problem yet (only a couple
days ago, though). Of course, the other one's network card died... (I've
had a really bad last few weeks).
Anyway, so 2.2.1 hasn't given us any problem yet that I can safely blame
on it.
We actually upgraded to 2.2.1 because of some kernel panics we were
getting with 2.0.34.

My, certainly virulent today. I think there's a difference between a
professional web designer and a individual that has some web page space on
his ISP. I'm a neophyte web designer (very, very non-professional). I'm just
learning. Took me about a second to realize I couldn't use MS products
(MSIE, Front Page) to design a web page if I wanted anyone else to be able
to log onto to a web page I did. So, I didn't. It was one of the reasons I
installed Linux in the first place. I had never heard of validator.w3.org,
but I'm glad you posted it.
Everyone has an opinion and I've never met anyone that didn't think theirs

Subject: Too Many DNS lookups from win98 machine
Date: Sun, 14 Feb 1999 10:56:02 -0800
I have a small home network that is using a Linux machine (redhat 5.2 kernel
2.0.36) as a masquarde gateway. The problem I'm having is that the win98
machines that are connected to this are doing DNS lookups about every 5
minutes. Since the Linux box is connected to the internet via modem and I'm
using diald the link comes up with every one of these DNS lookups. So, every
5 minutes the modem is dialing out even when nobody is using the internet.
I have to questions about this:
1) How do I find out more information about the DNS lookups. I'm using
ksniffer on the linux box and I can see a packet go out on port 53 (DNS)
with the IP address of my ISP's DNS. I would like to get more information on
the packet such as what is being looked up.
2) How do I stop it? I can't put a diald filter rule to ignore DNS because
then the link would never come up. Any ideas.
PS - I do have a caching only DNS set up on the Linux machine but if I
disable it it doesn't solve this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Check the IRQ configured for the device file /dev/ttySx, x=integer

"setserial /dev/ttySx" will show the IRQ configured for ttySx, and

When I install the 'DNS Server' option during setup, nslookup hangs.
I've tried manipulating the named.* files but it just keeps hanging.
I'm trying to setup a very simple network with 1 client and the Linux box
as primary nameserver. All the other networking works just fine.
Does anyone have a solution or a pointer to a 'can't fail' treatment of this
issue?

Another reason is that since MS has, uh, "improved" Java and pushed their
version pretty hard, non-MSIE browsers have trouble logging onto or using
parts of some web sites that have been developed with MSIE. Try logging onto
some java enable sites develop with MSIE with KFM.

Does anyone use samba? I have had a problem with my hp 4P printer
running on a Linux server, over running its printer memory while trying
to print a windows 95 print job. Is there a better driver that I could
on the Linix server that would tell the server to stop sending data
until
the printer is ready. Would upgrading to a later version of samba
help? The version of samba I am running is samba-1.9.18p5-1.

53. Sending Cookies"
Date: Sun, 14 Feb 1999 19:14:04 GMT
CAn someone help me to decipher the meaning of the kernel message in
/var/log/messages on a RedHat Linux 5.1 server, namely
Feb 13 18:35:59 mailgate kernel: Warning: possible SYN flood from
foreign-host on my-server-ip:53. Sending cookies.
(Foreign-Host (a DNS of my ISP) and my-server-ip (the server upon
which the messages were generated) are given as dotted quad addresses
that I have witheld).
The message looks like it could indicate a denial of service attack on
the name server (BIND), but I can't find any reference to cookies in
the book DNS and BIND from O'Reiley and so I am lost as to what this
means. (I do know what SYN flooding is).
Can this type of message be generated by an inocent problem
originating on my ISP's DNS servers or is this likely to indicate an
attack?
Thanks for your advice.

What are all these extra numbers for? You need an IP (one) from
the internet server or have it issue a dynamic number to the

with any numbers you want say 192.168.1.1, 2, 3 & 4 i.e a single

Subject: remote access to work
Date: Sat, 13 Feb 1999 17:37:18 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

Date: Sat, 13 Feb 1999 17:36:04 GMT
FWIW, I use the Linksys 10/100 most all of my 10 computers and
is the only thing I install in customers machines, I've got a mix
of the DEC, PNIC and Linksys chipset cards as well as a std.
PCMCIA 10/100 and they all work well connecting with Novell 3.12,
NTserver sp3, NTWS sp4, Win95b, Win98 and Linux RH5.2 via 16 port
Linksys 10/100 rack hub. No complaints or problems over the last
1-1.5 years.
The DEC chipset has some special instructions that must be
followed when installing on Win95 to keep it from being detected
as a DEC card. Basically you install the software before
installing the card. Nothing unusual with the PNIC or Linksys
chipset cards.
On RH5.2 (2.0.36-0.7) I used the tulip module (0.89H 5/23/98 ??)
that shipped with RH5.2, not compiled into the kernel. I don't
use it heavily but have had no problems.
I used to push the 3COM cards based on the longterm stability of
their drivers but the 3C905B and it's driver problems has
tarnished that.
