it looks to me that there is in your startup scripts an attempt to
access the network BEFORE the ethernet card is set up with it's ip
addr etc. So long as everything works after the system finishes
booting, I usually ignore such messages.
for the sake of stateing, the modules should be loaded by rc.modules.
this script runs before the rc.net# scripts and rc.local last.
good luck

Are you sure the message said exactly that? You'll get a similar, but
not identical, message when the kernel ppp code doesn't support demand
dialing. All the 2.0.x kernels came with code that doesn't support
demand dialing. The ppp-2.3.5 package contains a replacement for the

Hmm,, I installed kernel 2.2.2 for using multiple NICs.
eth0 and eth1 is attached to the same network segment. And 'incoming
stream router' sends the traffic equally. (As you see, RX-OK values
of eth0 & eth1 is the same.)
But the traffic for 'outbouding stream router' is biased to one NIC
('eth0'). How can I evenly distribute 'output traffic' ?
How to implement them with ipchains or enhanced 2.2.x feature ?
(With ipchains, the traffic from incoming eth0(or eth1) was bounced
(forwarded) to the same interface (eth0 or eth1). Is it possible?)

I have a list of "Linux Friendly ISPs" that is growing at
linux-howto.com.. you can find it at http://linux-howto.com/isp.html.
I'm not sure which area you are from, but hopefully you'll find one
there.. there are some national listed.
Also, if anyone knows an isp that isn't listed, and they know how to
help a linux user setup a dial-up, please send it in to me...

Earthlink, Metricom/Ricochet, Mindspring, and Institute for Global
Communications all support Linux users. I've had good Linux
experiences with all of them. I get the sense they're all rather
relieved to hear from a Linux user, because they're not going to
have to troubleshoot mysterious Microsoft network stack failures
and DLL mismatches.
I hear People-Link is Linux-friendly, too, but don't have personal
experience with them.

What's the output from syslog; what are the permissions on the users home

Have you looked into DSL? It's pretty inexpensive in terms of monthly
connectivity charges from an ISP, telco, and equipment. If you are
loop qualified expect to see anywhere from 256K to several megabits
over the standard copper you already use for phone service.

running smoothly.
What I want to know is whether there is any way to access the linux

recognizes a C: drive and the D: drive, which is the Windows partion on
the second hard drive.

Mostly true. Proxy Server, for what one gets, seems to be awfully pricey,
even by MS standards. But the functionality is much better than you claim.
I've yet to find a chat client that wouldn't work transparently on a stock
client installation, ie. no special configuration required. Ditto for
RealAudio. I'm not a gamer, so I can't say what its like running Quake
through it. The point is that, for a price, proxy server can actuall do
these things.

For all practical purposes, isn't NAT effectively the same thing?

MS has applied to buy the NAT technology of one of the leading aftermarket
vendors for NT. Can't recall the name just now, but it is all but a done
deal. To be incorporated in all future releases of MS operating systems.

Subject: NICs with Red Hat
Date: Tue, 23 Feb 1999 22:34:53 GMT
Having labored on this for quite some time I turn to the expertise of the all
Powerful List.
I have a RH50 box that I need to put 10/100 cards into. Making this task
quite difficult is my hub. It can only accept tx cards (t4 are out). On the
list of compatible cards from RH:
http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/rhl/intel/rh52-hardware-intel-12.html
I have chosen a few cards. Note, I am aware that this list is for Red Hat 5.2
however, the list that was for 5.0 is virtually the same and the cards I am to
list were on that list.
One of the cards is an SMC card using the Digital 2114x chip. Another one is
the 3com 3c905-tx card. While the SMC has unresolved symbols, the 3com will
seemingly load but no communication occurs. In fact, the traffic light on
the card goes on and stays on regardless of traffic.
Can somebody suggest a tride(sp) and true card and module for my box (intel by
the way)?

Hi
I just obtained Redhat 5.2 and intend to use it as a "netserver" for a
small LAN
I am faily new to LINUX and was wondering if someone cold point me in
the general direction re: packages/programs to use and any other tips
Considering I would like to have the following.
1: The LINUX box will hook up to my ISP ( unlimited account ) on demand
(from one of 3 win98 boxes)
2: My ISP will assign a different IP every time I connect
Thanks for any help

Subject: Cannot get to LILO boot: anymore
Date: Tue, 23 Feb 1999 14:43:21 -0800
Hi, I installed a scanner software/drivers and rebooted
and found that the computer hang at printing the 'LILO boot:'
prompt. It will print 'LI' then hang forever.
I used to have winnt on partition 1 and linux on partition 4
and run them selectively via the 'LILO boot:' manager.
Now the boot manager seemed damaged by the scanner installation.
And I cannot boot either of the two OS since I cannot get to
the prompt.
The question is: How do I go fixing the boot manager and get
back the prompt? (get over the hang)
Thanks in advance.

Does it disconnect even if the link is busy or only after an idle period?

Sounds like it could be an resource conflict on either one of he machines. Just a
thought.
