Hi there !
Here is my problem :
I'm looking for a way to install my viratalink atml 1025/2025 network
(pci) device, and Linux seems not to support it.
Does anyone know where I can find a driver for this card ?
Can I use a generic driver (like Ne2000), and if so, how to use it ?
(parameters, etc...)
Thanks for your help :o)

Good question. I attempted to follow the tutorial on the Brass Cannon site,
but when I tried to connect, I get the message "pppd does not support demand
dialing" Can anyone out there line me up on a tutorial on how to set up
diald or pppd to dial on demand. Please don't point to the HOW to, been
there done that and wasn't successful.

Two thoughts come into my mind:
1) Is IP Forwarding enabled in the kernel? (I think it is, but who
knows...)
2) Did you use ipfwadm to setup IP forwarding rules? I do not remember
exactly, but I think the default policy is no forwarding.
Good luck,

Subject: Configuring DNS with Linux and W95
Date: Fri, 26 Feb 1999 09:43:59 +0100
Hello,
If somebody can help me...!. My English language is very bad. Sorry!
I am Catalan. Catalonia is a country in Spain.
I have a home ethernet network with two PC's. One with Windows 95, and
the other with SuSE Linux 5.3. I want to configure the two PC to accept
DNS. With IP numbers run successfully but when I use DNS entries, the
client Windows 95 doesn't answer. With IP numbers I can access to the
Linux machine with ftp, www
(Apache Web Server) , telnet...
Which files must I modify? How must I modify these files? How must I
configure DNS entries in the TCPIP protocol configuration with the
Windows 95.
The DNS domain is a local domain. The two PC are not connected to
internet.
Well, the Linux machine is connected to internet through Windows 95
installed in
another partition.
I want to use ' unde.cat ' as the local domain. The two machines are
named ' pentium.unde.cat ' and ' petit.unde.cat '. The Linux mchine is
the pentium.unde.cat one. This domain is not registered. It is invented
by me.
For example, from the Windows 95 machine ( petit.,unde.cat ) I want to
run
telnet pentium
http://pentium.unde.cat/ from Netscape, for example.
ftp pentium
etc.
The IP addresses are 172.16.1.1 for the pentium and 172.16.1.2 for the
petit.
Which netmask must I use with these iP addresses, 255.255.255.0 or
255.255.0.0?
If I must give more detailes, send a e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have Linux Redhat 5.2, 5.1, and Spanish distribution named Eurielec
Linux,It is a ttranslation of Redhat 5.1 to spanish. I am able to
install the known distribution that you know how to do this. Then I
think I can 'translate' the configuration to anothers Linux
distributions. Or this configuration is the same for all linux
distributions? Or it depend
of the version of named deamon. Must I build a new kernel? Which kernel
options must I startup? The kernel version is 2.0.35. for SuSE linux.
I was reading the HOWTO about dns. But I didn't understand nothing.
It's too long. and for two machines I think this is not so dificult.
Perhaps.Please, help me.
Thank you very much for your answer.

Use Samba - included as a standard part of Redhat 5.2 - create accounts on the
Linux box corresponding to the user names and passwords which your 95 users
have... Read the samba documentation carefully (particularly the bits about
password encryption and security - otherwise your 95 boxes will not be able to
connect). Your 95 users will see the linux box as a file server just as if it
was an NT machine...
You do need to read the docs carefully 'cos some of the options can be a bit
complicated, but the result does work well and reliably and you don't have to
load anything non-standard on the 95 machines...

Subject: HELP!! Root account gone?
Date: Fri, 26 Feb 1999 13:47:20 +0100
Hi there. This morning we were adding lot's of user accounts as we are
going to use Linux as a mail server. While my colleague was in the
proces of adding al these users in the group popusers, he pressed okay
with the last account, typed in the password two times and got a message
stating something like
root account does not exist
He does not know if he did anything wrong. Anyhow. I took a look and
sure enough, root had dissapeared as had ALL the groups. The users were
still there though. So i tried to make a new root account but to no
avail: it already exists says Linuxconf. So i logged in again with the
root account and had no problem doing that. So apparently on some level
the root account does exist but Linuxconf does not see it. How can this
be and where can I find the groups that are lost????
thanks in advance

The server would be kimball, right? And I suppose monroe would have
been the appropriate name for a dual-processor system. ;-)
One of my first "test" networks had a server named Uncle and three
workstations named Billy, Bobby, and Betty; the printer was Kate.
Today, I don't get to name things myself. Note my computer's name:
kosepc01
There's a well-defined naming convention forced on us by the IT folks,
which of course means that nobody can remember the name of any of the
machines for more than about ten seconds. We use a lot of post-it(tm)

My printer (HP Deskjet 895 Cxi) always prints another blank page after he
did the normal print job. I think, this is a form feed based on linux. My
printer is connected with my server where linux is installed. On my computer
Win98 is installed and the RAW data is send to the server and the server
send the data directly to the printer port. Someone says, that you can
deactivate the form feed option in linux, but where?

Thanks for your kindly reading this letter. I have to do a project about
networking.
But i weak in Networking operating system. So have many problem cannot
solve.
I try to searched internet but cannot found what i want.
Here is the question paper:
Question :
It was 15th August 1998, When the three Software Training giants signed a
Contract to go for a joint venture in training. The American AMPRO, the
European
EOROACE and the Asian ASIATOP wanted to have a cyber learning together.
The facilities provided will be Videotext, Satellite communication , Public
network,
Teleconferencing, Telecommuting, and Electronic Mail. The three continents
will be link by International Network. Moreover, these three training
Institutes have there own Local Area Network, as AMPRO and EOROACE are
running on Windows NT platform, whereas AISATOP on Novell Netware.
So, the Steering Committee came to a conclusion to outsource the
communication link to an independent vendor to provide international
connectivity and identify hardware and software required.
They are calling for a tender by end of the month for a proposal to solve
their problem.
Things require are as following:
1: Identify the NOS and highlight the connectivity and implementation
issues.
(10 marks)
2: Identify all the hardware required and write a short description for each
(at least 10 hardware peripherals) (10 marks)
3: List at least five internetworking peripherals required to provide
connectivity.
(5*2 marks)
4: Draw a blueprint of the total topology and how should the architecture
look like.
(20 marks)
5: List down all the physical and software security issues.
(10 marks)
I hope you can give me some suggestion to solve this question.
Thanks .

The kernel will log what ever you tell it to. Just add the -l option to
any rules you want logged. For instance the last rule on my machine is
is the following:
/sbin/ipchains -A input -j DENY -s any/0 -d any/0 -l
This will log any packet that is not caught from a previous rule.
