Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello,
I am having a problem with diald when it first dials my ISP.
When an IP request is made from one of the Microsoft boxes
(98, 95 and NT 4.0) diald makes the connection but does not
send the TCP traffic over the connection. I have used tcpdump
to verify the network traffic on sl0 before the dialup connection
is established. Also after the connection is established I used
tcpdump on eth0 and ppp0 to show the traffic. If I redo the request
again the connection goes through. If you make the IP request
from the Linux box, diald connects and the TCP request goes through
without any problem. Anyone seen this one before or have any
pointers?
Example:
Open Netscape on the NT box and the Linux box dials and connects
to the internet. Netscape times out. Hit the reload button and
the connection goes through.
The rest of the time the connection is fine until the dialup
connection times out and has to redial.
Software:
RedHat 5.2 Kernel 2.0.36
diald-0_16_5a-1_i386.rpm

Hello All!
Still having a slight problem with Kde's kppd. I have a nic installed in
Linux box with ip 192.168.1.1 for lan. Problem is I can't get data through
my modem from my isp unless I run netconf and disable the darn nic. Once I
disable the nic I get data through my modem. What the heck am I doing wrong.

Hi
I run a set of Linux machines and one of them is an older 486, 66Mhz.
I would like to turn it into a telephone system with mailboxes or

Is there hardware and software I could use (on Linux), like a board etc.
Please let me know if you know any?

Date: Mon, 08 Mar 1999 22:17:57 -0600
I'm having some trouble getting my laptop (Thinkpad 770X) to recognize
my Linksys Cardbus
ethernet controller. I'm running RH5.2, kernel 2.2.1, and pcmcia-3.0.9.
I have
tulip.c, version .90q compiled with -DCARDBUS.
When I insert the card, the system beeps, so it realizes that there is a
card
there. I can confirm this with cardctl status, which gives:
[root@babware pcmcia-cs-3.0.9]# cardctl status
Socket 0:
3.3V cardbus card present
Function 0: ready
Socket 1:
no card
But I can't get the system to recognize what the card actually is.
Cardctl
ident gives:
Socket 0:
no product info available
Socket 1:
no product info available
The laptop has a TI PCI-1251A cardbus controller, which I
can't find on the TI site. I wonder if this is an OEM version of the
1250A?
Either way, is this cardbus controller supported by Linux, and which one
of the
two supported types is it?

Subject: Help with mapping network drive: Samba & Win98
Date: Tue, 09 Mar 1999 04:10:17 GMT
I am trying to map a drive to my Linux box (RedHat 5.2) at work from my home
computer (Win98). I have installed and setup samba and played with the
smb.conf file and when I run testparm with my ipaddress and hostname the
output tells me that I should be able to connect to the samba server.
But....I can't. I must be doing something wrong in Win98.
Here is what I have done with Win98:
First, I made an entry in my lmhosts file that looks like this:
linux.box.ip.address linuxbox #pre
Then I added the same line to my hosts file, with the exception of the #pre
directive shown above.
I am trying to map a network drive by doing the following:
1. Right click on Network Neighborhood
2. Select Map Network Drive
3. enter \\linuxbox\clint
note: clint is setup in the smb.conf file
4. I usually start screaming and yelling when windows tells me that the
computername or sharename could not be found.
Can anyone tell me what to try next? I would be very grateful!

Date: Mon, 08 Mar 1999 16:56:26 -0500
I'm new to linux and have spent many many many hours over the last
couple weeks learning a lot about it. i just today managed to get email
working for the lan. not exactly the way i want it but its ok for now.
heres my three small current problems that maybe someone can help me out
with.
(running: rh5.2, all apps mentioned are from same distribution)
i have three test users setup for email. root email is aliased to my
account (mattl). if i send myself a test msg it takes a while to get to
me (30 mins maybe?) (tried rem'ing out parameters after QUEUE= in
/etc/sysconfig/sendmail so that its blank). if i send email to root i
get mail (checking my mattl account) immediately. there's a delay with
mine and a couple other users. cannot find info on parameters that might
affect this. ideas? this is just sending on the local lan, the mailq
program reports the msg status as "deferred". so sendmail isnt even
putting it into my mailbox.
i have fetchmail configured for two test users, havent found out how to
put a delay in a crontab file so that my ppp-up script can have time to
establish the connection.
i was having a relay problem for the local lan, i put our network name
in /etc/mail/relay_allow and now it works. BUT, now that i have
fetchmail running. I want to have the system queue internet bound
messages until fetchmail runs, but the client (netscape4.5) message from
the mail server is "we do not relay". I have spent pretty much all day
researching this one. any help appreciated and thanks in advance.

Windows 95 OSR2, Windows 98 and Windows NT 4 use encripted passwords.
You must
read Encription.txt included in Samba distribution documentation. In
that file
you'll find step-by-step instructions to setup encripted passwords
logons. I
also suggest read the other files describing many Windows logons.

I have installed RH 5.2 (2.0.36) on my Thinkpad 760c. I have a 3Com
3c574TX PCMCIA NIC. I can ping the address I give to the card but
nothing else. When I boot, the card and the hub indicate connection,
however pinging any other address fails. When I run the route
command, after a few minutes the default gateway will show up.
Ifconfig shows IRQ 10 I/O 300h. I tried changing the IRQ, nothing
has worked. Has anyone else had this problem? I have checked the
PCMCIA pages, portable pages, and FAQs. Nothing has helped. Any
idea??

No, I suspect that IE would not be all that fast if it was
directly connected, either. When I had a Lose95/IE4 set up
with a cable modem I was unhappy with it's respone time.
Nowadays the only thing on the local side of my Linux box is
a Mac 7200 w/ Netscape, so it'd be difficult to guage.
As for Linux, you can tell the kernel to optimize for routing-
which I've done.

Newbie here. I wouldn't change root's ID. From what I know, telnet
as root is disabled for security reasons. Use a user login first and then
do the command "su" to become a root on the remote system.

This is the Router Solicitation Query Message, which is part of Router
Discovery (see the multicast destination address). You should only be
using Router Discovery on your internal network. Nobody on the outside
needs a list of your routers (or should already know the router anyway).
>Is there any security issues with accepting these packets?
Only if your router will respond with Router Advertisement messages.

Nothing if you don't respond to them.

Not directly, but it is possible that somebody could get a list of the
routers on the DMZ network. They shouldn't be able to get much further
than that though. See if the TTL on the IP packet is set to "1"; if not
then they might be probing your network.
Bottom line: You shouldn't be getting these messages. Talk to your ISP
about it.

Date: Mon, 8 Mar 1999 21:29:52 -0800
Well, brute force could allow you to deal. Don't use DHCP.
Ok, let's quote Comer:
Although an IETF working group is currently considering
how DHCP should interact with the domain name system,
there is currently no protocol for dynamic DNS update.
Thus, until a dynamic update mechanism is developed, there
is no protocol that maintains permanent host names
while allowing DHCP to change IP addresses.
Now, barring that ugly scenario, have you considered making
your DNS on another system? That way you would only have to
do a route to modify the resolve.conf file after DHCP touches
it. (just watch the date/time on the file)
I have not fully considered the ramifications of this, but it seems that
all the other clients on the network will continue to deal with the
local DNS, while your dialup system will not have to worry.
(That means your DNS will have to ARP the mac address when you
connect, but that shouldn't hurt.)
Hope these musings are helpful.

No! The entire reason that newsgroups exist is to let people
offer help while they are seeking help. Mailing you the answer
would make you not come here and learn or teach.
The AA led indicates that the phone is ringing.
The TR led indicates that Data Terminal Ready (DTR)
is asserted, which means that some program is listening
to the port. If it is not on, then nobody is home or the wire is bad.
How is the modem initialized for diald?
I think it should have AT&FE0Q0S0=1^M
but I have never used it.
Is your other modem an external? Is the AA led ON when the
phone is NOT ringing? That would tend to add support
for my above suggestion.
I hope you read this, and that it helps.

Subject: Help with diald and routing on a small network
Hello all!
I have setup a small (2 hosts) network in my home and I have configured
my computer as the gateway. I have diald running as well as IP
Masquerading. I didn't originally have any problems. However, today when
I turned on the other computer in the network, I started running into
some trouble. Keep in mind that all of this worked fine until today. I
don't know of anything I did to break it.
First of all... my computer is RedHat 5.2 default installation. I am
using diald .16.4 from the WGS 5.4 distribution. The other computer is
Windows 95. I have samba running on Linux for file and print sharing
between the two. Also, the Windows computer uses mine for its Internet
connection.
This morning when starting up the Windows computer, it activated the
diald link on Linux while trying to resolve the host for the Linux
computer. At the time it was attempting to mount a shared drive. I don't
want to bore you with all the details yet, so I will just say that
through the day I have discovered that the routing table somehow was
changed dramatically from how I had set it up. Instead of it routing
packets destined from my computer to the other or vice versa, it was
attempting to route those packets over the ppp link by diald. After
rewriting the routing table it seemed to be okay until I started diald
again. Upon start up, diald added a line to the routing table causing it
to misroute those packets again.
At this time I have rewritten the table with diald running, so it
hopefully won't do it again. My questions are how can I keep this fro
happening? Why is it happening? Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks,
Ryan Coulter

Well-- finally after three days I got minicom to recognize my one of the
Modems in my Diamond Suprasonic Dual Modem.. It dials out and can
commuicate to my terminal server fine.. Some delay though..
When I try using eznet PPP it takes about 15 -20 seconds for my modem to
initialize. then it finally dials out. After about a minute or two, I
get a time out error. Is this due to the fact that I am also using this
linux box for internal netorking.. Is my nic interfering with this
protocol. Also, if the modem takes so long to initialize, does this
mean that I have an IRQ conflict?
After I figure out how to get one of the modems working I then have to
figure out how to do multilink since it is dual modem card.. Any
thoughts or suggestions on what I should do?
Then after that, I have to configure Ip_masq.. Oh no.

Subject: Ascertain actual connect speed, and auto indication of disconnect
Date: 9 Mar 1999 05:30:56 GMT
Hi,
I am using ppp. How can I ascertain the actual connect speed,
either during or after the connect process. I have done the following:
set: DEBUG=yes in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp1
added: debug, and kdebug 7 to /etc/ppp/options
added: -v to the connect command in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ppp
Then I look at /var/log/messages. I have not seen any indication of
the actual connect speed. Is there some other log file to look at, and/or
some other parameter to set somewhere?
A second problem: I am occasionally disconnected by my ISP. Is
there a way to be automatically notified when this occurs?
Thank you for your help.
David Lieberman

I would recommend the IP Masquerading mini-Howto at the Linux Doc.

i just went thru this with a LinkSys ne2k card...
what finally fixed it was ( i don't remember where i saw this...)
boot the box from a DOS floppy (or a Win95 floppy...)
pop in the util floppy that came with the card...
run the setup util...
turn off PNP...
then Linux could find the card when it searched...
for some reason, Linux don't play with PNP ne2k's...
hope this helps...
