Had the same prob when i installed redhat. But I found a solution! The
telnet login is slow cause when you are trying to connect to the machine it
runs reverse dns on the ip address to get some info on you! And cause it
cant find the dns server it has to wait for a network time out. So put up a
dns server or disable the reverse dns search!

I doubt that this is related to your umlaut problem. This message usually
means that you haven't connected to the ISP properly and the ISP is running
a text program rather than PPP.
Well, on second thought maybe it is related to your problem. If the ISP
is not running PPP then you wouldn't be able to send anything, umlauted

Linux doesn't know (or need to know) that's it's a "combination"
connection. It's just sending data out thru eth0 and getting it back
the same way.

0) Can you ping the nameserver specified in /etc/resolv.conf by using its
IP address?
Yes -> 1
No -> 3
1) Can you look up the nameserver's own hostname, using itself, by
using dig? Use dig @ns-ip-address -x ns-ip-address
Yes -> 2
No -> 4
2) Looks like the nameserver works OK after all.
3) You have a routing problem.
4) It looks like there is no DNS sever running on that machine, or it
will not talk to you. Make sure you have the correct address.

IP tunneling attempt, following section 6.13.1 of NET-3 HOWTO.
How to interpret:
SIOCSIFADDR: Operation not supported by device
in response to:
ifconfig tunl0 local-ethernet-address up ?
2 of 4 linux machines exhibit the error message. The other 2 accept
the command and display a new "tunl0" device thereafter.
I suspect there's some particular kernel compile or configuration
option that may differ among them. There is an apparently necessary
CONFIG_NET_IPIP compile option-- but how do I test whether or not a
given kernel was compiled with it? Something in the /proc filesystem
somewhere?
Any hints appreciated. Also any pointer to general documentation of
SIO... messages and the contents of /proc. Thank you.

Subject: An array of newbie-ish questions: DSL, DNS, Linux, IP what?!
Date: Sun, 14 Feb 1999 22:30:56 GMT
For some time now, I have physically been building a server for me to
learn Linux on. I have been fabricating the metal casing so far...and
haven't done
any of the software stuff yet. If anyone could give me some insight on
this stuff, I would most appreciate it.
I have always wanted to have a domian or two that I was the
operator/owner of. For instance: my current WWW site is called
"Aircool" (http://www.wcslc.edu/pers_pages/bwk6885/), but is located on
our college's WWW server.
I would love to have www.aircool.org (since it appears that .com and
.net are already taken) for the site someday, when I actually start
using DreamWeaver or
Net Objects Fusion. In any case, how do domains work exactly? Would
www.aircool.org need to be submitted to local DNS servers, which would
submit
to other DNS servers..and so on, until "www.aircool.org" was registered
on most of the world's DNS servers? Would I need special permission
from someone
to do this? What is the relation between numeric IP addresses
(208.213.13.2 for instance) and the easy-to-understand www.aircool.org
english-type addresses?
OK. Back to the server idea. I was originally thinking that I would
just install NICs in each of our home computers (4 at the moment), and
hook them all up to the
server I am building (through a 10 port 10mb hub), then have all of
them share a TCP/IP connection that would be on a continuous 56Kbps
modem connection..
Could that work? Could all the machines that would be on the mini-LAN
share bandwidth through the 56Kbps modem connection through the server?
I have been talking to friends, who would also be interested in their
own domains someday. One person I know even approached me wanting
information how
to get a small-business website set up (without all the
www.geocities.com/boulevard/business/2012 extra address crap). I
suggested that they buy a domain
name, then get webspace from somewhere. After the webspace/domain
registration costs (through a site like www.domains.com), the costs of
all of our
domains/sites/and this small business site would add up to big $$.
Then, I began searching through our information service's website
(www.uswest.com) and stumbled upon DSL. I am not exactly sure how DSL
works yet, but I
read about 256Kbps, 512Kbps, 768Kbps, 1Mbps, 4Mbps, then 7Mbps access.
That seems like adequate bandwidth for a few websites (nothing major).
(http://www.uswest.com/com/customers/interprise/dsl/fast_facts.html)
So, if I were to go DSL here, and have a digital line going right to
this server I am going to make, and have continuous internet access,
would I be able to register
my own domains right from my server (without having to go through
www.domains.com), without having to pay any $$ for getting a new domain?
I guess I still don't understand this stuff too greatly. Assuming I
could register my own domains for free from my server through the DSL
connection,
would I need a fixed IP address for the server that the domains would
point to? Would I be able to host several websites with different
domain names from
one server? The idea of physically having several web-sites loaded on
a local computer seems like a cost-effective solution, since I would be
doing almost all of the
work myself (hosting it myself at least).
Please tell me what you think!
Sorry for all the questions. I've never taken any computer classes
before. I try to learn this stuff on my own.
Sorry for the no-spam stuff in my e-mail. If possible, e-mail me with
responses since this NG creates so many threads, I am unable to read
most of them.

I got a caching server working just by following the DNS-HOWTO. Here
is some of my data repeated.

I use Slackware and it is bsd style so the startup for named is in
/etc/rc.inet2. Make sure it is uncommented. It looks similar to this.
# Start the NAMED/BIND name server
if [ -f /usr/sbin/named ]; then
echo -n " named"
/usr/sbin/named

Test your caching server with nslookup.
$nslookup
Default Server: localhost

Server: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1
Name: yahoo.com

> yahoo.com
Server: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: yahoo.com
Address: 204.71.177.35
That indicates your caching server is working. My linux box which
serves as the gateway for my windows machine is 192.168.1.1 so I have
it as the gateway for my nic card in my windoze 95 machine. Below are
other configuration files.
$ cat /etc/named.conf

Reply-To: "Mark Swindell" <mark.swindell@[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I'm stuck trying to get my laptop (reliably) talking to my network. I've
just about run out of things to try so any help is appreciated.
The rtl8139 module (apparently loads OK) using "modprobe rtl8139". The hub
light goes out indicating something has happened. "dmesg" shows :-
rtl8139.c:v0.99B 4/7/98 Donald Becker
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/rtl8139.html
eth0: RealTek RTL8139 at 0x3080, IRQ 3, 00:10:44:84:30:77
Next "ifconfig eth0 192.1.13" and the hub light returns.
After "route add -net 192.1.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0" Im ready to try
a ping.
The result is a transmit timeout. dmesg shows :-
eth0: Transmit timeout, status 0d 0000.
eth0: Tx descriptor 0 is 0008003c. (queue head)
eth0: Tx descriptor 1 is 0008003c.
eth0: Tx descriptor 2 is 0008003c.
eth0: Tx descriptor 3 is 0008003c.
eth0: MII status register is 780d.
Using the cards dos setup program I know the card is configured for IRQ3,
I/O 3080H, Device/slot number 6, bus number 0, network speed 10Mbps.
Now the odd thing is that everything works fine when booting using windows
95. And once in a while (around every ten reboots) it works fine in Linux.
Im using RedHat 5.1 with the RTL8139 installed on the motherboard on my PICO
badged laptop. And the PC's bios options are limited to say the least.
Any advice on a way forwards ?
TIA,
Mark

I use the NetGear card in my computer. No problems with 2.0.37 kernel
or later it is recognized. No special setup needed.
I don't know about the FasTrak card, but I have a DPT card that has a

The delaying initialisation could mean that the card can't be probed. I
had the same problem, but with RedHat 5.2 and 2*3-com 3c509 cards, and
this seems to crop up as a regular issue.
The plug-and-play causes problems with these cards, and it is advisable
to use the DOS utility which comes with the card to disable it, then you
can ensure that the base io address and IRQ on the card match with what
Linux expects. There is also a Linux utility which does something
similar (which I have not used, and whose name I forget, but I am sure
some kind soul will post the details if they recognise it).
Although you are only using a single card, there is information in the
Multiple Linux mini-HOWTO which will be helpful regarding the
/etc/conf.modules file, etc.:
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/misc/multicard.html
I am making a big assumption above that RH5.1 isn't vastly different
from 5.2; somebody more expert will probably point out if this is not
so. I hope that this helps.

Subject: PPP Stalling
Date: Sun, 14 Feb 1999 17:42:36 -0500
Hi,
I am using a Linux box (66 Mhz 486) based on Slakware 3.2, kernel
2.0.36, with PPP-2.3.5. In addition I am using ipautofw. This box is
used as a firewall/router for interfacing my other machines to my ISP.
The problem I am having is that sometimes the PPP stops receiving data
for a prolonged period of time (a couple of minutes).
When this happens I usually see 2 receive errors reported by ifconfig
for the ppp connection. Also I won't be able to see the routing table
(using route or netstat -r). Then when the data starts flowing again I
will be able to list the routing table. If I ping someone else I will
see the transmit packet count for pppd increase but the receive count is
static.
My questions are:
Has anyone else seen this type of problem?
What can I try, to prove that it is my problem or my ISP's problem?
(my ISP doesn't support Linux and I haven't asked them for help)

OK, after reading stuff all day and looking all over the web, I'll say it:
I have no freakin' idea what I'm doing!
Could someone out there outline the steps I need to do in order to get my
network card to work? I downloaded the via-rhine.c file from the Internet
(using my Win98 box :-( ), but no clue as to what happens next. Do I have
to compile a new kernel, compile the driver (.c file), or what?
Thanks, I'll be waiting for an answer.
