J,
If I understand you right you can setup 1 box as the server with
RH 5.2 and the standard networking packages. Configure one
network and they are connected. To share the servers drives use
Samba - a fairly straight forward utility for this.
For the dialup access install PPP. For access to the network by
the other machines install IP-Masquerading.
The documentation to do most of this is available from the
mirrors in the HOWTO sections. BUT something like PPP starts with
how to install by compiling etc. For RH and most others this is
compiled for the release and ready to go - just needs tweek type
configuration - the same for Samba and IP-Masquerading.
Probably the easiest thing to do is get RH 5.2, install it and
get local access to the docs. It has a canned workstation and
server install thats fairly reliable. The only got'yas are the
disk partitoning - use fdisk and name with Druid.
This is not to suggest you wade in without reading up or
planning. But if you setup a machine just all the doc you need
is there. Most of it starts assuming you have nothing on your
machine through configuration. With RH you for the most part
just need the configuration sections of the HOWTO's. There is an
Install-HOWTO, Configure-HOWTO, a NET-3-HOWTO which is excellent,
a SMB-HOWTO for samba, an IP-Masquerading-HOWTO which is
excellent. All the stuff you need to get your proposed setup
going.
For a start you can do a server install which will give you
just about everything you need to look at for startup. I think
you'll have to load the doc from CD though which can be done with
RH with the UPGRADE section of the install package. You can load
up any package this way that the server install may not include.
After getting familiar with this you can then do a custom install
to get exactly what you want and build a kerenl targeted for your
configuration.

Here is a link to a FAQ that will interest you.

Also, there are some domain name services that will give you a shared
domain that can adapt to your dynamic IP. I don't know about getting a
static hostname on your ISP's domain, tho.

Subject: samba admin passwd
Date: Fri, 05 Mar 1999 17:50:31 GMT
Hi,
I finally got Samba working(2.0.3 & RH 5.2, kernel 2.2.2). I am mainly using
it as a print server for win95 machines. I am using security=DOMAIN and
validating passwds against our main NT PDC machine. Works fine for all users,
except the Admin account of the main PDC/server. I keep getting prompted for
a passwd. No matter what I type in it won't work. I also have a share on the
samba machine which allows the ntadmin account, as well as my login to
connect. I can connect fine with my login from any machine(including the main
nt server), however the ntadmin account can't(from any machine). Prompts for a
passwd.
The ntadmin account is in the /etc/passwd file.
Is this a "feature", or should it work and I just have something wrong.
Thanks
Chris

You guys still do not get it. Even assuming that documentation is
available (it is not, as whomever invented that is probably too ashamed
to relesase it) driving a serial port directly is a true "hard real-time"
task. That means that you have service events on your telephone wire with
**predictable** latencies, smaller than some given limit, or bad things
will happen. On real modems this is done by parts worth a few bucks which
buffer things and allow much relaxed constraints for the whole system.
With "winmodem" your few hundred dolars CPU has to drop everything and
take care of that instead. This is easier done with 'doze, which only
really pretends to multitask so it can latch to a piece of hardware and
hold it - regardless - than with any real multitasking and multiuser OS.
Even with that "winmodem" users (especially gamers) often find that with
vigorous activity on their machines these concotions are very unreliable
and a source of a serious grief.
You may run, of course, something like RT-Linux, with all its
constraints, but I doubt if any of modem users would enjoy very much
such proposition once trade-offs would become clear. :-)

As quite a few people is making money from GPL-ed software (there is

Hello,
if your kernel supports modules, locate the module 3x59x.o , and try
insmod WHOLE_PATH/3c59x.o
if this is succesfull, doing
lsmod
should show something like :
Module Pages Used by

Then you should be able to run
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network start
after which,
lsmod

Hi,
I'm having the same problem. I'm using a Kingston tulip-based NIC
on a 10mbs hub. It runs between 24 and 72 hrs just fine, then the NIC
pretty much decides not to transceive signals. Everything else seems to
be happy, it remains in full user mode (init 3), and stuff runs. It just
_stops passing packets to the wire_. No kernel msgs, no syslog, nothing.
I'm running a pingboot script in cron which checks for this every 10
minutes, then logs and reboots.
Currently, it's running icecast channels, with an avg bitrate of
about 130pps, but it peaks at about 350pps..
kernel v2.2.2, tulip.c:v0.89H, RH5.2.
I'm going to try the newest tulip.c as a mod, then static, to see
if that helps.
Thanks!

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Mats Wichmann)
This line of cards seems to give more trouble....
Anyway, I've been having trouble with an original EtherExpress Pro/100
(PCI) -- not a 100B, 100+, or any of the newer (and apparently
different) variants. I had an old NEC ProServa V100 that's been
running NT server for a project I'm done with; I'm trying to use this
box to do some tests on the Sybase ASE for Linux. NT Server 4.0
didn't want to correctly detect this card, either - I had to delete
the mess that NT incorrectly detected and use Intel's driver diskette
to reinstall correctly, after which it's been working fine. P&P is
disabled in the system bios, has been since I got the system.
Linux won't see the board at all, and I can't figure out how to tell
it to do so....unfortunately I have a hard time browsing the web for
long periods to hunt for this since I've temporarily got a very poor
internet connection, so an email pointer would be real helpful. If I
can work out the address, interrupt, etc. that the board is using is
there something I can give that information to - and will that help?
I've set up several other Linux systems with 3com and other LAN cards
without running into any kind of problem like this - they have all
detected properly - so it's new to me...
Thanks.

We want to get all of then connected to the internet in

I just inhereted a 486-DX66 with 24MB of ram.
I got linux on it 2.0.38 using RH 5.1.
My network card is not detected so I got the go ahead
to buy a 10/100 isa card and tons of RAM.
1. Can someone give me a name of a good ethernet card
that is for sure to work with Linux?
We are thinking of duplexing 2 modems or using a cable modem
if that is supported for our internet connection.
2. Should I set the system up as a router or set up X-server and remote
execute Netscape?
Any advice would help.

That works great except when I try to bring it back up with ifconfig eth1 up.
I am unable to use the Internet. I can no longer ping the IP for eth1 even

This is actually a pretty common problem. It relates to how FTP likes to
open more than one tcp port when you want to actually do something. You
should try toggling the "passive" mode in your ftp program.
If your the ftp server is also behind a firewall, things could get
very messy.

If you want to avoid using select() and asynchronous I/O, you can use
SIGALRM to break out of the blocking accept() call:
alarm(30); /* wait 30 secs for a connection. */
accept(..);
alarm(0); /* disable the timer */

and such).
