Subject: Re: Internal Zoom modem
Date: 20 Feb 1999 18:50:40 GMT
I am running RH 5.1, with a Zoom ComStar SVD 33.6 Model 2800-00-00A ISA PNP
modem. I couldn't even get a response from the modem at all using minicom,
until I booted into the BIOS and set PnP OS to NO and configuration to
Manual. Also, I had already disabled the on-board COM2, set my modem to
COM2, and set the IRQ3 to PCI/ISA PnP in the
BIOS PnP Setup screens. After that, the modem configured just fine and
now it dials out and connects like a champ. Now my only problem is getting
pppd to work. 1 thing I noticed, before doing all the changes in the BIOS,
if I did a "setserial -a /dev/modem" it reported UART as "unknown". I knew
at that point it wasn't even talking to the modem at
boot time. I used setserial to set the uart type, and it still didn't work.
You might check to see what actual UART that particular model has. Also,
check out the on-line Zoom manual for the AT commands available for the
rockwell based V.34/V.90 modems, I had to use an init string I captured from
IBM IGN Dialer software in windows before I could get the appropriate modem
connection. For me, it was
AT $F E0 V1 &D2 &C1 W1 S0=0 S95=47, then after the OK I send
ATS7=60S30=0L0M1\N3%C3&K3B0N1X4.
Now these are for my model of Zoom, you should check before using them on
yours. OBTW, the manual is on line in the www.zoomtel.com, look in their
documents subpages. Hope this helps.

That is the wrong driver - you should be using the Realtek 8129/8139
driver (and getting the updated version from the authors site which is far
more stable than the one included in the kernel source even though they
show the same version number)

To my knowledge only 3Com produce a 100baseT ISA network card as the ISA
bus is not ideal for such high bandwidth. I know nothing about the card
per se.

I have recently got access to an Intel EtherExpress TPE Hub. While it is
designed for Novell, I am hoping that some enterprising sole out there may
have tried to configure this hub into Linux. (do I hear the need for a
driver here?) Is there any input on this. The Linux community is great
for getting more out of old abandoned equipment (re. turning a 486 into a

Subject: Win98 printing to Samba-Server (Help...)
Date: Fri, 19 Feb 1999 14:24:38 -0500
I am using Red Hat 5.2 with Samba 2.0.2. The smb.conf is simple and to
the point. I can connect and map drives from Win98 to Samba Server just
find. The printer also show up under Network Neighborhood. I installed
the printer no problems. I did a test print to the printer --Big
problems. The printer is a HP Laser Jet 4P. The errors range from "Can
not print...network device not found.." to "There was a problem printing
to the printer you selected...." The printer prints fine using lpr
command.
On the 98 box I created prn files and then copied them to the Samba
server and then printed them using lpr testprint.prn and it worked
great. I just can not get it to print from the Win98 box directly. I
would be happy to send a copy of my smb.conf and printcap files to
anyone who thinks they can help.
Solutions that I have tried....
1. I read all the RTFM's I could find from HOWTO's to Web sights
2. I went to the Samba web sight and read the documentation.
3. I upgraded Samba 1.9x to 2.0.2.
I will be very thankful for any help

1) Would you please tell us more about the NFS-servers!.
1a) Sounds like problems arisen by NFS code of Solaris 2.5.1.
including much of the former SysVR4 code, as networking
code of SysVR4 was developped by SunSoft.

If they are using it as a file server then you must be running Samba.
Turn on user authentication in Samba (I'm sure it's possible). Then get a
package like Log Scanner (check out http://www.freshmeat.net/appindex )
to continuously and automatically scan the samba log. Configure Log
Scanner to notify you when "logins" occur.

Though I do not use SuSE ... I think their precompiled pppd needs one or
two (to me) unusual options and you might take a look here ...
http://www.suse.de/
... since their support database is available in English too.
Out of my weak mind ... disabling ipx in the options file might help
already.

I don't want to use callback. I checked into the callback thing and
indeed pppd is not compiled with callback. And apparently 2.1.2 doesn't
even have it implemented. But 2.1.2 works fine and 2.3.5 does not.
I looked around on the Ascend MAX to see if there was a way to totally
turn off all existance of callback, but there isn't any. No one uses
it, but that would only be a test situation ... you never know when it
might be needed.
I have the book "PPP Design and Debugging" by James Carlson. It doesn't
get deep enough into this to help, much. The RFCs will probably have
to be handy.

I saw the problem with the default route. But I put off routing issues
until I can get the session to come up and stay up. Then I'll make sure
I can route all internet addresses over it, then route the LAN, then do
DNS ... the usual order of things.

I've just been through this problem as well. In your smb.conf file, make sure
you have:
security = share
and this will enable you to at least view the resources available. To connect
to a resource, you may also need to enable plain text passwords in the registry
of your Win machine:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Current\ControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSUP\
then, select Edit->New->DWORD Value from the menu bar. Rename the entry to
EnablePlainTextPassword, and set its value to 1.
or set up an smbpasswd file, and enable encrypted passwords on your linux
server, as Win98 by default uses encrypted passwords, and samba by default uses
plain text passwords.

I don't know much about programming..but did you try looking at the
