This is interesting because of the lack of LCP options. I made a test
with my ISP in which I shut off all LCP option negotiation and connected
fine, without any options negotiated.
It is slightly reminiscent of a post in which a "void" PAP Ack message
caused a problem because the ISP ppp implementation didn't include a 0
as the message length. The RFC seems to require it so pppd kept trying
and got into a loop.
The poster finally solved the problem himself by compiling pppd with
DEBUGALL which opens up a lot more debug messages. There were some
"short packet" messages that were the key for him. He fixed the code
to ignore the fact that there was no length byte in the ISP packet and
got connected.

Greetings,
Anybody know how to setup an Alpha Multia so that it'll boot from my
bootp server? All I've been able to find is "consult your SRM manual"
for the correct environment variables to set, which didn't come with my
machine, as I bought it used.

I am quoting from a article which can be found at
http://www.techweb.com/wire/story/TWB19980706S0015
That said, no changes were made to the kernel or the networking code out of
the box to get maximum network and OS performance, he said. "The main
performance bottleneck in machines of this type are the networking
protocols," said Warren. "The performance in Linux has been remarkable.
We're getting full wire speed through Fast EtherNet. You couldn't get more
speed by tweaking."
I have a small network with Win95, WinNT and Red Hat 5.1 and I have never
had problems transfering
up to 100Mb worth of data.

Darius,
Here's one thing I noticed in playing around with my machines and cable
modem: The modem somehow remembers the MAC (hardware) address of the PCs
connecting through it. I tried using the same IP on two different machines,
without luck. I noticed that there was a reset switch on the back of the
modem. Poking that (or pulling the power and sticking it back in) after
switching machines, resets the modem. After it goes through its
diagnostics, everything should be fine.
Hope this helps,
Cameron

Subject: Diald - IE times out
Date: Mon, 22 Feb 1999 20:49:32 -0600
OK, I've got one more annoying quirk to solve and my Linux+IPMasq will work
perfectly.
Here's the sequence of events:
1 Boot Linux box, log in as root and do a startx. Run "dctrl &" and turn on
all of the viewing options.
2. Boot Win98 box and fire up IE 4.
3. I can see a udp request come across which causes the modem to dial. So
far so good.
4. The modem connects and seems to transfer the packet, a few seconds go by
and another udp and icmp packet come across.
5. The Win98 machine then says it can't connect to network.
6. At this point if I do a refresh and my homepage comes up.
I've been to the diald homepage and added the machines to the hosts table
and added multiple nameserver entries in resolv.conf. I also added
the -buffer-packets option to my diald.conf in /etc/diald.
How do I get IE to work on the first try?
Any ideas?

I used geologic time eras; starting at holocene, pleistocene, pliocene all the way
down to cambrian. Cambrian is a Sun 450 with 20 disks so I named each disk after a
subdivision of the cambrian era...that took some research. But then again I'm a geek
and a geologist...
Next to our cage at Exodus the folks there named their machines after male porn stars.
Another uses beers and yet another uses famous cooks (Julia, etc.). Another uses
california rivers (merced, tuolumne, american, etc.).
Some, mostly NT users I find, use highly orginal names like company_name1,
company_name2, etc.

Subject: 2 realtek 8029 (ne driver) on RH 5.1 ?
Date: Sun, 21 Feb 1999 21:47:58 GMT
Hi,
I am having problems getting both of my ethernet cards - Realtek 8029 -
setup in Red Hat 5.1.
I have been able to get one to work, but the other one refuses to initialize
using the proper irq and io base,
I have this:
eth0 - irq=10, io=D000
eth1 - irq=11, io=D800
eth0 always seems want to go to irq 11 and io=D800, thus the other card
does not work.
I have tried to set this manualy but it always seems to geet changed when I
reboot.
I have used the netconf utility and edited the etc/lilo.conf and
etc/conf.modules manually this does not help.
Do I need to recompile my kernal to support this ? - I hope not because I
have no idea how to do this!
What are all the files and thier location that contain network setup
information.
I also have win 98 running and this works, I was going to just try different
IO's and irqs untill it worked, but I don't think I should have to.
Does anyone have any ideas ?

Subject: smbmount, no file permissions.
Date: Tue, 23 Feb 1999 20:03:14 -0800
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If anyone can offer suggestions for this smbmount problem, I'd greatly
appreciate it.
I'm trying to mount a shared folder from a Windows 95 machine onto my
Linux box using smbmount. The mount is successful, but all the files
have no permissions. Example (as root):
gandalf:/usr/local/src/smbfs-2.0.1# smbmount //den/den_shared /den -n
gandalf:/usr/local/src/smbfs-2.0.1# umask
022
gandalf:/usr/local/src/smbfs-2.0.1# ls -l /den
total 6
d--------- 1 root root 512 Sep 30 11:33 alex
d--------- 1 root root 512 Jan 5 13:25 corel
d--------- 1 root root 512 Jan 23 05:28 deb
d--------- 1 root root 512 Nov 8 01:03 nes
d--------- 1 root root 512 Jan 23 07:10 pub
d--------- 1 root root 512 Jan 23 05:00 tmp
Even with the apparent lack of file permissions, root can edit files
anyways. But no other user can. They can't even `cd /den` (which I
would expect)
The smbmount manpage says that the files should have the umask of the
user who mounted them (by default). I tried setting the umask
explicitly,
and with other uid/gids, but that made no difference.
Debugging the smbmount program reveals that the call to umask(int)
is with argument of decimal 18 = octal 22, as expected.
The Linux system is i386 Debian 2.0 (Hamm) kernel 2.0.32
The Windows system is sharing the directory with Full access, no
password.

I cant seem to get smbmount to mount a specified directory under a service.
Everything works fine if i mount //server/service, but when i try and use
//server/service/subdir and check the mounted dir, i see what is shared from
the service, not whats in the subdir. I can change to the subdir and see what
i'd like, i just cant seem to mount it. The smbmount man page explicity gives
an example of this. I'm running smbmount 2.0.1.

Actually, if you search aound amazon, rhino has released the episodes on
video, I think just the first two volumes so far - with two shows on each.
my friend just bought them and we watched them this evening since we
thouht it was a hilarious show back when it was on... not quite as funny
now... not sue if that is a sign of maturing or what....

This is the same question/problem I have.
I cannot get any of it to work with the ~username.
leave the ~ out, and drop a userdir in the /home/httpd/html directory,
and things work fine.
I'd rather have it go to a specific directory in the default userdir.
(oh, and I don't want to fiddle with the url rewrite mod engine
thankyouverymuch. <g>)
Checked the info at apache.org and things *still* don't work.
(although at least I've been able to upload pages to the server via ftp)
Some assistance (either answers or where to find the answers) would be greatly
appreciated.

(once *this* works, then I get to tackle sendmail and fetchmail. <g>)
