Hye,
I read on redhat support server that 3C905B is not supported by Redhat 5.2
(I don't know for 5.0...) It works for some people but on 10 MBPS.
I have the same problem but with a 3C509B And I think that it's a IRQ and IO
adress problem...
On WIN95B, the adapter is using IRQ 11 and IO adress 0210
On Linux , the adapter is using IRQ 10 and IO adress 0300 or this IRQ is
used by my VIDEO Card on win95...
But I don't know how to change the IRQ and IO base adress of my network
adapter...
Thanks to everyone

Do you have debug 7 on ppp to get more detail from the logs? You
would have to verify it but I think 7 is the highest. I wonder
if any sort of buffering resource shortage is causing problems.
Have you looked back through the logs for ANY resource
complaints?
How busy is the machine when this happens? Is it plugged or does
it happen when unused and a single user sends one file and
othwise the box is unused. Look with top to veryify when doing
this - run a xosview a few a on a few ties.

Just guessing - may be someone with more experience will answer.

Subject: Linux serving two *ISOLATED* networks
Date: Thu, 04 Mar 1999 18:40:25 +0100
Hi Linux networkers!
I am in the process of designing an application (CVS + Oracle + Tcl/Tk, in
case you are interested) which will run on Linux. This app. must serve two
TCP/IP LANs, an office LAN (i.e., Windows-PCs connected to INET) and an
operational LAN (a satellite control system with mostly VMS machines). The
machine will have two network cards connected to one LAN each.
Now, the requirement is that there must be absolutely no way of affecting the
operational LAN from the office LAN and vice versa. This can be reworded as:
absolutely no TCP packet should go from one network to the other. You see,
the keyword here is *security*.
The question for you experts is, what is the best way to accomplish this?
Which TCP services should I remove and which should I keep considering that
the only network service absolutely required is our app. which must listen to
one or several ports in both LANs?
Any idea/comment welcome. Thanks in advance.

I am having much trouble getting my 3COM (3CXFE575BT) to work under linux.
I have 2.2.2 kernel, and pcmcia versions 3.07 - 3.10. The card seems to
initialize properly, but when I try to ping something it just sits there,
and eventually says:
"Interrupt posted but not delivered --- IRQ blocked by another device?"
Then a furry of ping responses comes back with the response time as 17000mS.
(...wierd)
I am loggina ALL system messages to a tty and can view the card
initializing... it seems fine. Has anyone had any luck with these cards?

Have you configured your shares in /etc/smb.conf, setup smbpasswd

concerned, but I'd like to look at files on the NT

Enable support for smbfs in your kernel (it may take a recompile), and
obtain and install the smbmount package (it's *not* part of Samba, but
sometimes supplied with it).
You can then use smbmount to "mount" the NT shares to your Linux
filesystem (much like a NET USE command works on NT to mount NT
shares).

Generic info for RH 5.2. Assumption: you installed PPP.
===================================================================
RH puts ppp scripts in /usr/doc/ppp-2.3.5
Copy ppp-on, ppp-on-dialer, options to /etc/ppp.
BTW:I have copied /dev/null to options.
===================================================================
Modify ppp-on by editing the following:
TELEPHONE, ACCOUNT, PASSWORD
==================================================================
For exec command. put in correct device probably
cua1 (for RH5.2) and modem speed
===================================================================
Edit /etc/resolv.conf and put in ISP nameserver given you by your
ISP.
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
You usually get two from your isp.
====================================================================
execute ppp-on & and monitor logs with
tail -f /var/log/messages.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
OR:
Control Pannel: Modem configuration. Select
correct device. (used in ppp-on script)
===================================================================
Control Pannel: Network Configurator: Routing: Defaults blank
PPP0 will use this so needs a blank here.
===================================================================
Network Configurator: Names: insert ISP
nameserver addresses.
===================================================================
System Configurator: PPP/SLIP/PLIP: Configurations, Add
Fill in Hardware, Communication. Assumes PAP not
required - If things do not work check with ISP.
==================================================================
Save quit. Verify /etc/resolv.conf has your ISP
addresses.
==================================================================
The linuxconf sets up most things but does not
setup the ppp-on script - that must be done by hand.
==================================================================
Testing:
cd /etc/ppp
execute ppp-on
Ping locally between your network machines to insure your ok.
Ping some net address by ip number like 10.220.10.120. Once ppp
is connected.
Verify your name server working, ping boston.com or do an
nslookup microsoft.com
When not dialed in ping someother box locally by name
to insure yor local resolution is working say if
done by the /etc/hosts and /etc/lmhosts.
=============================================================
If things do not work turn on debugging or up the level of
debugging. Edit the scripts and put debug 7 in there.
For LCP errors two common causes are the ISP is not responding
to you - he's down or you and the ISP are out of sync on PAP.

Got the same problem (see below, also posted in comp.os.linux.hardware).
According to SuSE this is a known driver problem. They got info on their web

Maybe, we get our problem solved....
Text of posting:
Hi,
I know, this problem is not new, but I would like to ask for some experience
with it, so I maybe don't have to install a new kernel on a Software
bootable RAID1......
I got a 3COM 3C905B-TX "Vortex" network adapter. It works only at 10M. Now
this is known to be a driver problem, but (stupid as I am) when I built my
RAID kernel I compiled the driver into the Kernel instead of having it as a
module. Now, to my knowledge, setting any options in modules.conf doesn't
help (options 3C59x options=12).
The correct solution (I think) would be to compile a new kernel. But I am a
little reluctant to do this as long as I am not sure whether this will help.
So please, encourage me... Would it help to test the option line by typing
this line at the boot prompt?
I am using SuSE 6.0/Kernel 2.0.36.
Thanks for help

jeffrey,
my win 9x/nt4 workstations receive ip addresses dynamically from the
DHCP service on my NT3.51 server. the NT server (192.168.34.1) also
acts as the WINS server for name resolution. each workstation can ping
and telnet to my new linux server (RH5.2, kernel 2.0.36-0.7, samba
1.9.18p10) by it's name (WHL31) and by it's ip address (192.168.34.6).
furthermore, the linux box appears and is accessible in the network
neighborhoods of all workstations.
however, the linux server does not seem to be properly querying the WINS
database on the NT3.51 server. i cannot ping from the linux machine to
the workstations using their respective host names. i've checked that
the linux machine does appear mapped in the WINS database, and
/etc/smb.conf contains the following:
wins server = 192.168.34.1
name resolve order = wins hosts lmhosts bcast
what am i missing here? i did try to setup the linux box as a DNS
caching server using the DNS-HOWTO, but it did not work. when i tried
to ping a workstation by it's name, the command would hang.
thank you for your time and attention. any ideas or suggestions would
be very welcome. perhaps you might provide more details for how "samba
finds it and puts the name and ip together."

Put blanks in here... "route -n" still reports 0.0.0.0 where I expect
"default" in the Destination column. BTW, the example shows "*" in the
first three Gateway entries... mine has 0.0.0.0 in all three.

No difference. Still no nameserver use on PPP.

It is my userid that contains a "#", not the prompt... and linuxconf
doesn't like the "#" in any of the entry fields.

It probably would if it worked... and if it could be debugged.

PS - How many different PPP configurations are there... ppp-on, pppd
from the shell, and Usernet within xdm.

true enough...but there is only one usr winmodem driver that comes
with win 98 and has worked with every usr and dirived winmodems I
tried in on. from 28.8 to 56k
maybe USR could start something....like reliesing a linux driver for a
LINMODEM for the winmodems to make the work under linux. and actually
sell it as a linmodem with a linux driver disk ( even just a loadable
module bin only would be something even though we all would prefer
source)
If 3com would do it, several compines would follow...
if you don't believe me, look at what netscape started by anouncing
linux support.
