Thanks for the tip. I just thought it would be easier to stick with the RPMs
since they were available, and that this route might make the continual
upgrade process a little easier down the line.

Well, a quick check with rpm -q reveals that gtk+-1.1.15-2 and
gtk+-devel-1.1.15-2 are installed, so I would assume that the version is
correct for balsa 0.49. Actually, I just tried the older 0.46 source
available from the balsa webpage, www.balsa.net, and it also bombed at the
exact same point. Might I have better luck snagging the latest source from
CVS? I noticed that the source on the CVS server has replaced ./configure
with ./autogen.sh. Thanks.

If you want better answers then post exact copies of those log messages
along with the chat messages, complete with timestamps. Also post the
chat script and pppd startup scripts and option files as well as the
kernel version and ppp version.
Otherwise we have very little to help us determine what's wrong,
the symptoms you described above can be caused by a number of things.
And turn off the kdebug, it very seldom is useful and only makes it
difficult to read the ppp negotiation logs.
But here is a shot in the dark anyway: Try using the pppd option
"asyncmap 0" and remove any "escape ff" or similar escape option.

I hardly think naming a computer after a tree/planet etc.
constitutes "vanity" :-). I also agree with previous posts
that being able to call a previous administrator and ask them
if they ever had a disk problem with foobar is much more
likely to elicit a response than a question about ZY115.
I smell the dreaded political correctness in bland naming.
There's bound to be someone somewhere who will take offence
to using a computer called rhubarb, whereas *everyone*
can dislike ZY115. Alternatively, maybe there's the fear
that anthropomorphising a machine may make it less
initimidating (gasp!).
Just to add to the list... In my previous lab (NCI) the
computers were named after cows. Since we had a very
international group of people we never ran out of names
(either the literal "cow" in many languages or whatever
the default name was for a cow in that country). I was
not aware that elsie and bossie were common names for
cows in the U.S. I had the chance of naming one and that
became ermintrude (from the Magic Roundabout). I am sure
that one was renamed after I left as it usualyy resulted
in "..and how do you spell that?".
Surprisingly interesting thread this...

If they are ISA cards, you set the interrupts either with jumpers, a boot
disk, or isapnp.
If they are PCI cards, you set the interrupts in the BIOS if you are not
satisfied with the interrupts.
In general, here is what to put in your /etc/conf.modules for RH 5.1 for
ISA cards:
alias eth0 ne
alias eth1 ne
options ne io=0x240,0x300
The interrupts will be read from the card's on-board registers.
For a PCI NE-2000 clone, it should auto-detect both cards automagically.
If not, check to make sure that both cards work, and that your PCI BIOS
is correctly reporting them (cat /proc/pci to see what your PCI BIOS is
reporting).
I just checked and yours is a PCI NE-2000, so check /proc/pci and see
what it says about your NE2000 clones.

Subject: Linux Newbie needs help with SAMBA w95---Linux Redhat 5.2
Date: Sat, 20 Feb 1999 17:58:08 -0500
I have a windows 95 and a linux box running Red Hat 5.2. I have a Realtek
8139 10/100 card in each computer that are hooked up with peer to peer
wireing. I know that the wireing is fine because the DOS diagnostics say
that it works just fine. I will be useing my Linux box to connect both of
them to the internet with server assigned IP so I don't know what to put in
for my TCP/IP addresses. I installed SAMBA on the linux box and edited the
/etc/smb.conf file so that workgroup is the same on both it and my windows
95 box. I have TCP/IP,NetBEUI,and ipx/spx on my w95. Do I need to give my
w95 computer a IP address(And if so what should it be and how would I do
that?). When I first start w95 and it asks me for a networking username and
password should they be the same as what I want to log onto on my linux box?
Is there somewhare that I need to set up a IP for the linux computer? What
do I need to do so that my Linux box knows my NIC is there or does it
already(How do I find out?). Currently nether one shows the other one. (I
tryed to access w95 with smbclient several diffrent ways after reading the
man...SMB howto. and it said host not found. I'm not sure if I was doing
that right.)
Any help would be appreciated.

Subject: Samba as domain login server
Date: 22 Feb 1999 04:24:51 GMT
Hi,
I have the weirdest problem with Samba and Win95:
We have one Linux Server that runs Samba 2.0.2 and three Win95 machines.
I set Samba up to act as a domain login server. The general section of
smb.conf looks like this:
>-------SNIP-------<
# Global parameters
workgroup = NANOSOFT
domain logons = Yes
os level = 33
preferred master = Yes
domain master = Yes
local master = Yes
guest account = guest
update passwords = Yes
>-------SNIP-------<
Now, I set the Win95 machines up to connect to the Samba server. The first
one (actually Win98) was easy: I set the 'Client for Microsoft Networks' to
connect to NT domain NANOSOFT and set the access control to user-level,
with NANOSOFT as the source for the list of users and groups. Everything
worked fine.
Then, I set up the next machine (an HP Pavilion - ack!). When I set the
access control, it said it couldn't find the domain NANOSOFT. I insisted
and told it that it was an NT domain (as opposed to an NT server). After
that, it worked: The HP can now connect to the Linux server.
But then came the last computer - a Compaq Armada 6500 with Win95. It also
told me that it couldn't find NANOSOFT. I also insisted - but this time,
it didn't work. When I try to log in to this computer, it tells me that
the login server couldn't be found and that some network resources might
not be accessible. And indeed, I can see the two other Win95 machines,
but not the Linux box - and of course I can't browse the Windows machines
for lack of a login server.
Does anybody know what I did wrong here?
TIA,
Juergen

The $ indeed means that you have made a hidden share.
Get rid of the $, and the share should become visible.
This does NOT mean that anyone has access...
One has to have priviledges on the specific share, naturally..
Good Luck!
