***NOTE: Before you reply, remove "SPAMSUCKS" from my e-mail address.
I have a IBM Thinkpad 600 (266MHz PII, 64M, etc.) running both Redhat 5.2
and Windows 98. For some reason, I can't seem to get the external 9-pin
serial port to be recognized. Any suggestions, advice, or insights are
appreciated!
Here's some notes:
o I made sure it's enabled using the TP utilites, and I disabled the
internal modem and the IR port.
o I've tried various incantations of setserial v2.15 before I inserted
the PC card modem using the parameters reported by windows 98:
setserial /dev/cua0 auto_irq skip_test autoconfig session_lockout
setserial /dev/cua0 irq 4 port 0x03f8-0x03ff session_lockout
o I added the following lines to config.opts (comments removed):
include port 0x100-0x4ff, port 0x1000-0x17ff
include memory 0xc0000-0xfffff, memory 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff
exclude port 0x2f8-0x2ff
include port 0xa00-0xaff
exclude irq 4
exclude irq 7
o I also have a Simpletech 56k modem and 3COM 3c589d ethernet PC card, both
of which work fine. Here's the output from cardctl:
[root@ferret pcmcia]# cardctl config

Fixed it!
yes, it was an MTU issue, but on the Win98 side. Before setting up my
network, I had set the MTU to 576 for optimal PPP transfer speeds. I had
totally forgotten about this, and since the eth0 MTU on the Linux box was set
to 1500, it was causing severe performance issues. I have now set MTU on all
interfaces (except ppp0) to 1500. This seems to have cured the problem
entirely - FTP, Samba, etc are all back up to speed (blindingly fast for
Samba 2.2!)
many thanks

Subject: UDP recvfrom connection refused, bug?
Date: Fri, 26 Feb 1999 16:45:22 -0600
I am having a problem porting an application to Linix. This application
works fine under BSDI, SCO OpenServer, and DGUX. I have also created a
small test program that duplicates the problem which I can post upon
request.
In my test program I sendto() the echo server on a UDP socket that is
bound properly. A subsequent select() call indicates that there is
something available to read. When I call recvfrom() it returns an
error and errno is set to ECONNREFUSED. This is on a UDP socket that is
_NOT_ connected! From all the documentation I can find it looks like
it's possible under Linux that if a program is not waiting to read from
a UDP port when the message comes in the message is discarded and
a subsequent read indicates that the caller refused the data by the
ECONNREFUSED error. This is very different from all other unix systems.
Is this expected under Linux?
Is this a problem? Can it be fixed? If so how?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

I have both an ne2000 and a 3c509-tpo in my FW machine. I have both of
them compiled in and not modules. I have
append="ether=10,0x300,eth0 ether=12,0x320,eth1"
in my lilo.conf to insure they both get recognized. I'm using a
modified slackware install. The dhcp is on eth1 with this command
/usr/sbin/dhcpcd -c /usr/bin/mlupd.dhcp eth1
The ne2000 is eth0 and the 3c509 is eth1. I do know I had to hunt
around to find port addresses that didn't overlap with anything else.

You should not use the driver for NE2000 ISA-cards since
1. on the 100MBit PCI-cards is a different chip
2. PCI cards do get resources (IO, IRQ, memory) dynamicly assigned by
the PCI BIOS
In many distributions all existing drivers are already compiled as
module. You can load the module with "modprobe rtl8139". If the module
does not exist you have to compile a kernel of your own. Maybe you even
have to get a later kernel or a seperate driver from

Maybe it does include the IP number of the server into the data. You
then do need a special masquerading module if you really don't want to
use a global IP for the server. If you can not get such a module nor are
able to write it yourself you still can:
- give the NT server a global IP additional to it's private one (on the
same NIC, I know it's possible on NT but never saw it in action)
- add an alias interface to the local interface of the linux firewall
(it could even be the same address as for the outside interface; you
might need proxyarp for)
- set a host route to the NT server on the linux firewall
- let packets beetween the client and 7788 of the NT box travel through
the firewall as they are (no masquerading, no port forwarding)

Ya
I think you will need a second network card - one to plug the cable
modem into and the other to network to the other copmputers.
That is the way I have our cable modem set up with masquerading, and it
works great.

Ah, no. You need to either use a hub, or build a cross-over cable
that swaps the tx/rx lines in the cable.

Well, you might want to try reading the Ethernet-HOWTO a little more
closely. Your problem has nothing to do with the operating systems, and
everything to do with a lack of careful reading. The HOWTO mentions the
fact that you cannot just use a standard
10-BaseT cable to connect two machines together, at least twice that I
see. It also tells you how to build a cross-over cable.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I've got five computers hooked up to my DSL connection. I've got my DSL
modem hooked into my HUB's uplink port and the other computers are hooked
into the other ports on the HUB. My DSL connection supports DHCP, so all
the computers are getting individual IP addresses.
This is only one way to do connect all your systems to the DSL connection.
Before you do this, you might want to check with your DSL provider if you
are allowed to do this. Some providers say it's not allowed, but I guess
you could always just do it and if they complain... go to the second method
of hooking up your systems.
The second method is to have two NICs in your server system. I haven't
tried this (I'm just a LInux newbie - but I did do this in Windows before
using SyGate), but you setup some IP masquerading. You'll have to find
information on this yourself as I'm not too sure how it work.
I like the first method the best, but you should make sure that your have
some sort of security/protection setup on each of the machines connected
(firewall). For the second method, you can just set the firewall on the
server.

My impression is that IE4 times out too soon whereas Netscape gets it done.
I had a user problem like this that went away as soonas we used Netscape -
Likewise on a win95 setup at home I have seen ie4 timeout in situations
where netscape makes the connection.

Thanks, Clifford.
I simply reinstalled Linux and that solved the problem and am in the
process of upgrading the security on this machine.
It also appears that my machine may have been hacked. I won't go into to
much detail,
but my machine was set up to ignore the first call and then accept the
second if it came in during a certain time window. I haven't published the
number to this machine and I haven't disclosed the fact that I could dial
into this machine publicly until now. FYI, this machine is NOT on the
internet so I found it particularly disturbing to find serious gaps in my
log files.
Any chance that someone got in via my networked Windoze 95 machine? That's
what I'm guessing. Anyone have an idea what software they might be running?
I already checked for Back Orifice.

I have a Linux Box set up as a firewall. 100m/b ethernet (Intel)

was successful, but unless I install the PPP adapter before the ethernet
then I can't ping my external IP address (204.255.235.110) from the linux
box but I can from any other machine. and no machine can hit the internet.
My firewall is as liberal as I could get and uses masquerading. This also
occurs if I reboot the machine. It sometimes works to uninstall eth0 then
reboot the reinstall it. But usually I get so pissed I end up reinstalling
everything. Is this a binding problem? any other Ideas?

For BOOTP/DHCP you need a relay daemon. For WINS just setup a WINS

'dcc' is not a picture format but stands IMO for 'direct client connect'
and is used by IRC clients to establish a direct connection beetween two
parties bypassing the IRC server. Load the module 'ip_masq_irc'. You may
have to enable tcp-connects on some ports - I don't know which used by
this module - in the 61000-65095 range of the firewall itself.

not reflect the change.

I had the same problem. The problem was (in my case) the 2.2.0pre7
kernel I installed. I went back to the 2.0.36 kernel, and wala, here I
am talking to you 8^) I intend to compile and install the 2.2.2 kernel
and the ac3 patch and try that out.

I have a similar problem, I get a time out in stead of the login prompt. If I do
a telnet locally on the 'puter, it works. I can FTP in from other 'puters without
any problems. hosts.deny is empty and hosts.allow contains "ftpd,telnetd:LOCAL".
The weird thing is, it used to work. It stopped working after I added some window
managers (which I missed during initial install BTW). I've tried to telnet from
other
Linux boxes and Win95, same result. I'm using RedHat 5.2, kernel 2.0.36.
Any (more) suggestions?!? TIA!

Subject: New kernel 2.2.0 and ICMP ?

RH5.2.
I compiled new kernel 2.2.0.
I am getting
209.**.**.*** sent an invalid ICMP error to a broadcast messages

This never happened in 2.0.36 kernel.
Any idea how to fix it ?
thanks

Subject: static IP's
Date: 27 Feb 1999 13:54:36 -0600
I have a dial-up provider who doesn't provide static IP addresses,
and I want one. Is there any way around this? Can I register a
domain name and then update the IP address each time I dial in,
or is there some site out there that could act as 'pointer' to mine?
