Subject: Anyone using 3C507 (3Com EtherLink 16)?
Date: Sun, 28 Feb 1999 19:10:16 GMT
Hello world,
I am using a 3C507 (3Com Etherlink16). And very often (esp during large
transfer) I will see the following error message on my Linux box
eth0: Rx unit stopped, status 5220, restarting.
What is this mean? I have see this error message since I first using
Linux Kernel 1.2.0 and even up to 2.0.36 I still see this error... I run
the 3Com diag program on the card and all test passed.. and I wonder if
there is a 'bug' in the 3c507 driver code...
Any ideas, comments?

The JetDirect card should have added an MIO menu to your list of menus.
You can program the IP address there. Or alternatively print a test
sheet which will give you the MAC address, and tell it to use bootp or
dhcp. My experience is that the old cards use bootp, the newer ones
dhcp, but they don't handle both well.
The port is 9100 if you want to use that method.
And lpd is fairly robust - but probably because it is also basic. It
will only accept one connection at a time, so you can't manage a job
once it has started printing because the connection you need to manage
it is being used to print it :-( This is, however, common with
practically every "lpd on a printer-card" I've come across.

Reply-To: "Andrew Tatton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Hi,
I'm running a Quake2 dedicated server on my linux machine, it does nothing
else but run the q2 server and serve samba shares to my local network.
I have attached a 56k modem to the box to allow my mate to dial in so we can
have a nice fast duel session( with me having a ping advantage of course,
coz I'm crap)...I'm just a bit bewildered about how to get RedHat 5.1 to
accept incoming calls and allow the remote machine to connect to the server.
Linux Machine:
486 dx4 100
16Mb Ram
No X
RedHat 5.1 2.0.34
56k modem COM1
10Mb/s NIC
IP : 192.168.1.1
Sub : 255.255.255.0
DNS Name : andy
Networked to a Win95 Machine
P133
32Mb Ram
56k Modem COM2
10/100Mb/s NIC
IP : 192.168.1.2
Sub : 255.255.255.0
DNS Name : main
Remote Machine:
Windows 98
PII 300
128Mb Ram
56k Modem COM3
10/100 Mb/s NIC
No assigned IP or DNS name to modem
The remote machine is networked to another machine but I don't care about
that machine seeing anything, the quake2 server is visable from the P133 so
I know it's working there.
So how can I get the remote win98 machine to connect to my linux server via
modem and access the quake2 server at 192.168.1.1:27910 to play against me
on the P133.

Date: Sun, 28 Feb 1999 20:25:10 GMT
Kernel 2.0.35 works fine. I use Slackware and dial up access (ppp-go) to my
ISV. But when I switch to kernel 2.2.1 (reompiled by me) I get the following
message in response to "route add localhost":
SIOCADDRT No such device
Needless to say my dialup access to my ISV also doesn't work.
Something is not kosher in my new kernel, but what? I have tried all
reasonable combinations of parameters that I can think of.
When I switch back to 2.0.35 all is fine again.

Take the Pentium III Boycott Survey
http://mail.infotrieve.com/isurvey/index.cfm?vendorid=6045&formid=F0006045
Pentium III chip with the individual serial number that can
track your web surfing and buying habits can now have the ID number
turned on and off by software. Following some links I found the
www.fightdivx.com website and noticed that they have a Intel Boycott
page with links, quotes and info on why you should boycott the
invasion of privacy Pentium III chips. Just like everyone suspected,
the ID number can be taken without a customers knowledge. Just like
cellular phone fraud, once someone has your unique ID number, they
could pose as you on the internet. Do not be fooled by reports that
this problem is fixed because Intel disabled this feature by software
on their up coming chips. Information is power. They want to know
your surfing and buying habits. That is what this is all about. Here
is the link to the page with the boycott info and links.

Also you will find a Boycott Intel screen saver and banner on their
page above. Spread it around.

If you are using a netmask of 255.255.255.0 for the network "box" is
attached to, you have to use a address out of 192.168.0.x for the laptop
in order to get proxyarp running.
If you use a address outside the local network for the laptop you have
to adjust routing on all boxes in the ethernet the way they know that
"laptop" can be reached via "box".

Subject: strange problem - Can't seem to send large packages out on the internet (SMTP
nor FTP)
Date: 28 Feb 1999 23:03:10 GMT
Does anyone know how to solve the following problem :
I have a working DNS, PPP,MASQUERADING,FIREWALL everything ...
but as it seems I can't send larger e-mails (smaller e-mails - under 10
lines work just fine.) neither can I upload any files to an FTP server.
The connection always times out and locks up. It does send what appears to
be ONE package. Then it stops. (Receiving files from an FTP server DOES
work)
Telnet works fine, so do small e-mail messages : I guess because they send
small amounts of data.
and ofcourse www works as well cause that's basically receiving data.
It's not just from the masquerading clients that I have this problem. Also
from the linux box (which has the modem).
In conclusion :
It's not a mailing problem, it's not my ISP's smtp server since everything
works fine from within windows. And I also have the
problem using FTP.
It's not a masquerading or a firewall problem... I have the same problem
without the firewall.
I'm sure it's not that difficult.. but I can't find the problem..
Thanks for helping me out !

Crossposted-To: comp.os.linux.setup,comp.os.linux.misc,comp.os.linux.help
Thankyou for your kind advice, now I would like to
get to the bottom of this please bear with me...
So,
All I have to do is think of a unique name for my site
ask InterNIC to register the site and assign an IP address
for it and to OK it.
Setting up the server..
Use BIND etc.. as one does for PPP and setting up the
standard www apache server that comes as standard on
most Linux Dist.. (In my case I have setup the JavaWebSever1.1
from JavaSoft). Making sure that the Registered IP address is
ok from InterNIC.
Use a standard Telephone line to maintain a connection to it,
or make sure that the telephone line and server is operational/up
for at least 90days but can't be down for more than 90days in a
strech as per DNS req (www.dns.net).
Is that all ?
If I need to use email etc all I will do is disable my own
server for the duration of usage for my call online to my
ISP. ie use my ISP for the local rate dialing and services
and use my www server for other people to use and dial into.
Or do I have to keep the line on and incur telephone charges
at all times paying for 24hrs perday and 365days per year.
Or can people use it as if they were dialing into a normal
telephone line/answering machine service.
Many thanks

Actually, the ps/2 used the MCA (micro channel architecture) bus, so if
that's an MCA card, it SHOULD fit. Supported by Linux? That's going to be a
