Is there any way to manually set the IPX network number in Linux to
0x00000000 to make it work with Windows machines? I have some Windows
machines where I'm unable to change their network numbers and I'd like
to make IPX work with them. Thanks!

PCI does have it's own PnP that does differ from ISA PnP. You do not
need the isapnp-tools to setup the card.

In the YaST set type to 27 and io and irq to 0. The Fritz!PCI does have
it's own type which does differ from the one for other Fritz!* cards.

All services work on locally on the linux hosts but not on the LAN. For
example the appache web server, telnet and sendmail all are working from the
linux box (as either gate (the machine name) or localhost) but not from the
LAN.
As an additional curiosity, I'm running dhcpd on the linux box and that works
for any of the windows machines I plug into the lan. I.e. they each get dyamic
IP addresses from the linux box.
Is there a pattern here? Broadcast packets are OK; TCP packed are blocked some
how? I don't know enough about network protocols to determine this.
Any other ideas?

I have no idea why the CMU utils would lock up your machine. I used those

using the UCD snmp utilities. Among other advantages they provide greater
flexibility as far as adding extra MIBS.

At the office I started off with one server which (at that time) had huge
drives so I called it BigMomma. Later on, another server joined in -
BigPoppa - since a 'husband' was needed. A communications server became
LilBro - one of the kids.
The latest one is UncleBob. I guess you can see the trend. The next one
just may be named AuntEmma or something like that.

I believe for kernel 2.0.36 you need dhcpcd 0.70 (1.3 for kernel 2.2 I
believe). try dhcpcd -h <your host name> eth0. For my cable modem this
works fine. My hostname was provided to me by my provider and MUST be
right. Make sure and uninstall dhcpcd 1.3 beforehand. Good Luck.

Step 1: Find out why the Linux box is connecting to the Inet. Install
an ipfwadm (or ipchains) rule that logs the packets going out and have
a look at the ports involved. Most probably, it's because of DNS
queries.
Step 2: Get more information about the reason for the connection. If
you found out in step 1, for example, that DNS queries are being made,
either block some of them (NetBios DNS queries), if you don't have a
DNS server on your LAN, or put your named into verbose mode, so you
can see what host names are being asked for.
Step 3: Counter the problem. What to do here depends on the cause of
the problem. One possibility would be to prevent that certain packets
traverse the TCP/IP stack's forwarding mechanism with ipfwadm or
ipchains.

Subject: ISDN with a Fritz card
Date: Sun, 07 Mar 1999 17:44:05 +0000
I have been trying to get an ISDN connection up and running with no luck
whatsoever.
The card is the Speedway card for BT Home Highway, which I have
discovered is the AVM Fritz. ( I tried pnpdump and it found no devices,
so I assume it is PCI, not PnP)
I am running Suse 6.0, kernel 2.0.36.
When trying to configure the card using YAST, I get the following
message:
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.0.36/misc/hisax.o id=HiSax type=5 protocol=2
irq=10
io=0x340
/lib/modules/2.0.36/misc/hisax.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
That is with the ISDN as part of the kernel, with HiSax as a module.
I have tried with all relevent componets as modules, and with all
compiled into the kernel both with the same results.
The setting for the card under WinNT are IRQ=9 IO=fca0.SuSE kernel shows
the same when the whole lot is compiled in. ( Yes, when it is all
compiled into the kernel it detects the card).
I have also tried with these settings as well as the ones recommended
for the card.
I would appreciate any help anyone can give.
Thanks in advance

Date: 6 Mar 1999 21:24:14 GMT
First, I apologize because this really is not a Linux question,
but I figured I'm likely to get an informed response in this
newsgroup.
So, here goes:
How do you set MTU and MRU for PPP in Windows 95/98?
In Linux, obviously these can easily set as options to pppd,
but I haven't been able to figure out how to set them in Windows.
I'm getting sigfinicant difference in net access performance
between Linux and Windows on a 56K modem connection, and I'm
suspecting the main reason is that in Linux, I have MTU and MRU set
to 1500, and I'm guessing Windows has them set to much smaller values
so not taking advantage of the 56K connection.
I searched for MTU and MRU in the Windows registry edit program,
regedit, with no luck.
Any ideas?
Thanks much for your help.

Subject: Re: DSL & Linux
Couple of things to know about DSL service.
More than likely they will either give you a static IP for one computer or they
will offer you a DHCP served IP address. If you get the chance, make sure that
you get a static address. Also select an ISP that knows Linux, why bother with
someone who won't support you.
Many ADSL "modems" are simply ethernet bridges. It makes things cheaper, and
the equipment can be pretty stupid. I know that where we are serving DSL
customers, many don't want to pay for extra IP addresses. Most have built Linux
or use NT to do Network Address Translation (NAT). This is a slick way of
having a lot of machines hooked up to one IP address over an ADSL connection.
Only a few things are not NAT friendly.... Microsoft's NetMeeting comes to
mind.
You'll need two NIC cards, yes you could do it with one if you are creative,
but you will suffer a performance penalty for bridging everything across your
ADSL connection. Set one side up as your real IP, the other side gets set up as
the 10.x.x.x network and configure your machine to do NAT (There is a how-to
for this.)
And one last thing ADSL is FAST, you'll really enjoy it.

It did time out while waiting for "OK". "rAT" is most likely not a valid

You have to install the bin86-package too.

i thought NT4 did have a C-2 - without any network functions
enabled. just like the other posts said about 3.51 - any idea
why the DoD blatently disregards the C-2 requirement in building
NT based enterprise networks?
then again, if linux isn't certified then its not a viable
alternative in the 'eyes of the law'. is certification in
the works or even possible for linux?
just curios,
dp
ps - i'll have to start watching the security groups.

Subject: Logging into Samba from Windoze 98
Date: 7 Mar 1999 20:31:45 GMT
I have been trying to get Samba connectivity from my Linux box to my W98
client box.
>From my W98 box, I can see the Linux box in the Mygroup that Samba is
broadcasting. However, when I double click the linux box, it identifies
itself as //Linuxbox/IPC$ - and then wants a password.
I followed the instructions in the Linux Network Toolkit book (published
by IDG), but it obviously leaves out some important information. What do
I need to really do, is there a mini-howto that specifically addresses
what should be a realatively simple Samba connectivity setup? The Samba-
Howto is about as clear as mud. If someone could give me a short step-by-
step, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
WDA

Sounds to my like you've elininated your Linux box's router
functionality as a cause. Seems much more likely that there's another
firewall between you and the SMTP server in question and it is set to
deny you access.
Try pinging the SMTP server from the Linux box. It that works and
"telnet ... smtp" doesn't then this is almost certaily your problem.
