Subject: problem with routeing
Date: Thu, 11 Mar 1999 12:11:34 GMT
Hi
I've set up a network and it seems I don't get the routing right.
My Linux box got two NIC's installed.
eth0: IP 195.xxx.220.50
Subnetmask 255.255.255.248
Default Gateway 195.xxx.220.49 (this is a Cisco router)
eth1: IP 192.168.2.1
Subnetmask 255.255.255
Default Gateway 195.xxx.220.49 (i want it to point to 195.xxx.220.50
but SuSE 6.0 does not allow this)
route -n gives the following table:
Destination Gateway Genmask Iface
195.xxx.220.50 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 dummy
195.xxx.220.48 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.248 eth0
195.168.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 eth1
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 Lo
0.0.0.0 195.xxx.220.49 0.0.0.0 eth0
>From this linux box i can connect to the Cisco router and the internet
(ping 131.220.16.220 etc.) and i can also ping any internal ip's
(like 192.168.2.17 etc.).
I cannot ping 195.xxx.220.50 from this box ( my guess because of the
gateway address).
>From any other internal networked box i can ping 192.168.2.1 as well
as 195.xxx.220.50 ! but i do not get through to 195.xxx.220.49.
I would greatly appreciate it if somebody could point out to me were i
made the error!
(I am running SuSE 6.0 Kernel 2.0.36 ip-forwarding is on)
Thanks

"apend" should be "append". Don't know if that's a typo from your message or
from lilo.conf. And why do you use mem=95M when you have 128Mb of memory?

you can reboot if you wish but i prefer the quick way of
typing
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network stop
wait for it to stop and then type
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network start
with any survice under linux can be stopped and restarted like this
much faster than windows

the facts are :
1 - We cannot access the Cisco config (done by the ISP)
2 - We have a Firewall which is heavily used
3 - There are a lot of dummy IP addresses to be assigned to external
users (each user will have its own IP addr) to access some
machine inside the internal LAN

I have done this several times before, so it must be possible. Login to
the Linux box from the Doze box, using ssh or telnet (preferable ssh if
your not on a small local intranet), then type "shutdown -h +1" and log
out. Within a minute your Linux box should halt.
Now the reason why the box didn't halt before might be because you su'ed
to root and then executed shutdown. When you su to root, /sbin and
/usr/sbin is not added to your path, therefore you cannot just type
shutdown, you have to type the whole path. If however you use "su - root"
to become root, then the proper path will be used.
On the other hand you can always give the user "halt" a password, then all
you have to do is telnet or ssh to the box, and log in as halt.

Izak

Hmm. I believe you can. I know that you can reboot remotely but never
tried to shut down remotely. I am 120 miles away from the server I

Try doing this via telnet:

I do a remote shutdown of my linux-gateway from windowsNT with the
remote shell (rsh) command shipped with NT. I think you=B4ll find a tool
like this for win98, maybe you can use the NT=B4s one. If you think this
is security problem, try the secure shell (ssh) suite if there are
clones for win98.
Last possibility I would think of, is to use an telnet-client that can
run in batch mode, I think you=B4ll find such tools. I don=B4t know names=
the mentioned tools expilicitly, but try to find them on

Subject: Why this error from ethernet card when nothing's listening at other end?
Date: Thu, 11 Mar 1999 23:33:32 +1100
My linux box is connected to a Windows 98 PC via a crossover cable.
Linux box has a Netgear NIC,Windows box has an Intel NIC. The link works
fine. However, if the Windows PC isn't up I get the following error
every 60 seconds to the linux console :
Mar 11 23:14:06 oak kernel: eth0: The transmitter stopped! CSR5 is
2679006, CSR6 816e2002.
Mar 11 23:14:06 oak kernel: eth0: Changing NGMC169 configuration to
full-duplex, CSR6 816e0000.
This can be annoying, but the real problem is that diald then takes this
as an instruction to dial up when I don't want it to. Can anyone please
explain to me what is happening here and how I can fix it?
TIA,

If your mail server supports IMAP instead of POP3, you can store the
mail folders on the server instead of storing them on the client.

The eth1 NIC is causing a resource conflict. Most probably

Right. ISDN is a digital connection whereas a modem uses an
analog one. One might be able to use an active ISDN card to do
a hardware-modem emulation, though I'm not sure whether someone
has actually tried it yet. Any passive ISDN card will not work.
>And is it true that vice versa a Modem-Client can=B4t dial in on my

Right. The /dev/ttyI* interface is just a AT-commandset interface for
being able to use standard comm programs in Linux with an ISDN card. It
doesn't really emulate a modem; it just gives you the AT commands .
>So I need a Modem AND a ISDN-Card to allow dial in on my Linux-Machine

[...]
Yes. See /usr/src/linux/Documentation/isdn/README .

I have a 386, 486, and a 586. I was thinking of linking them with
ethernet but then I started thinking about SCSI. They will be stacked
on top of each other, and I do plan on getting another system to add to
it later. What would be the advantages and disadvatages of using SCSI
instead of Ethernet? There are 2 extra bays in the 586 and the 386,
the 486 has 1 extra bay, but I could replace the IDE cd rom with SCSI
(wich would be 2 bays). Email me with your thoughts.

Subject: 2 LAN Cards: delaying eth1 initialization
Date: 11 Mar 1999 01:01:32 GMT
Hi,
I try to use 2 3C509 LAN cards in IBM P100 running
Redhat 5.2( Linux 3.0.36). After installation, the OS can probe
the second cards.
But after rebuilding the kernel and even I pass parms while
booting or add a append a line such as:
append="ether=10,0x300,eth1 ether=11,0x320,eth0"
The system issue a messages:
Delaying eth1 initialization
and the eth1 is not working.
I had installed 2 3C509 cards in a HP Vectra machine and it works
after rebuilding the Kernel.
Can anybody help me !
Thanks
Wilson Lam
