Subject: IRQ: SB16/Sportster Internal
Date: Fri, 02 Apr 1999 07:55:19 GMT
Hi,
I'm having grief with my USR Sportster Internal 33.6. Unfortunately, if I
use the jumpers to specify a specific COM/IRQ configuration, Win95 fails to
see the modem ("Could not open port"), even though linux can see it fine.
If on the other hand, I use the default (no jumper) setting, i.e. plug and
play mode on the modem card, Win95 finds it fine, but I get an IRQ collision
between the modem (which defaults to COM3/IRQ5) and my SB16 card (which I
think can only be IRQ5[?]).
I've spent some hours trying to sort this out, and would now value some
advice, as otherwise I will only be able to have my modem or my soundcard
visible in linux (I need my modem for Win95, and I also have an SBLive card
for Win95 -- SB16 card seems to be just ignored).
Complex query -- any help appreciated by return email: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
Thanks,
Matt.

Subject: Kernel Update
Date: Thu, 01 Apr 1999 11:20:20 +0200
Hi
This is a realy stupid question, but, how do I update my kernel. I got
SuSE Linux 6.0 with the 2.0 kernel. I got the new kernel on a cd (2.2),
it was downloaded (so it's not untared).
Could anyone please give me a point for point instruction how to
upgrade.

Subject: Problem: NFSROOT with netboot and 2.2.x
From: Michael Maechtel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: 01 Apr 1999 11:20:46 +0200
whenever i try to boot a 2.2.x kernel with netboot
everything goes all-right until it starts to mount nfs.
At this point I get on my client:
Looking up port of RPC 100003/2 on 192.168.1.1
portmap: server 192.168.1.1 not responding timed out
Root-NFS: Unable to get nfsd port number from server, using default
Looking up port of RPC 100005/1 on 192.168.1.1

Root-NFS: Unable to get mountd port number from server, using default
mount: server 192.168.1.1 not responding, timed out
ROOT-NFS: Server returned error -5 while mounting xxxxx
VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS ....
BUT, from time to time it works (maybe once in 10 times)
Very strange ....
No problems at all with 2.0.x kernels.
On my Debian system I use:
Client:
- Debian slink with Kernel 2.2.5
- netboot 0.8.1
Server:
- Debian slink with Kernel 2.2.5
- nfsd (2.2beta37) or knfsd (1.2) , which makes no difference ....
Any ideas?

Mike.

So there must be a problem with the netbios protocol?

I'd like to know what retarded monkey designed the network to which you're
connecting. Your so-called ISP is using DHCP on what is effectively a static
connection, which is the most asinine thing I've ever heard of. I'd call
them and complain that you don't have a static IP -- I can't see how it could
be anything but *harder* for them to set up dynamic IPs for their customers
in the first place. ADSL is nothing at all like a normal dialup connection
(in which IP addresses can be assigned to incoming lines in a way that ends
up being dynamic for the connecting client). Don't they understand that
people who have a static connection tend to have one for a reason? Idiots.
I _hate_ dynamic IP addresses -- they're the worst of all possible solutions
to IP allocation. I'd rather have a 192.168. or 10. address for my network,
and have to pay extra for a routable NAT entry, than use that DHCP crap.
Just my $0.02

I have heard that it is possible to combine the network connections of two
or more network cards. For instance, using two modems to increase the
transfer rates.
I'm not even sure if this is possible or if anything similar is possible. I
would greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me whether or not I can do
this. And if so could you suggest an approach to this. I'm very new to
linux and don't know where to start.
Thanx in advance.

This may not be automatic enough for you, but it is as simple as starting a
dialup session
under windows.
Telnet or your RH system, type 'ifup ppp0'
when your done, type 'ifdown ppp0'
This is what I do. I had trouble with diald quite awhile back (it's
probably fixed by now), and never
went back.

You will have to use DHCP. You need the client side not the server. On
Redhat the rpm is called dhcpcd-0.70-2.i386.rpm. It has a bug that causes
it to send the DHCPREQUEST as a bootp packet rather than a dhcp packet but
other than that it works pretty well.

Nice, html.
You'll have to upgrade your kernel to version 2.2, and use the new isdn4linux
kernel drivers and utilities from ftp.suse.com/isdn4linux/, compile the
utilities, compile the kernel (in that order), and compile the compressor
modules found in the isdn4k-utils/ipppcomp/ directory. It hasn't got a
Makefile, look in the source for hints how to compile it. After compiling it,
copy it to /lib/modules/<version>/misc/, run "depmod -a" and do a "modprobe
lszcomp comp=7 debug=1".

Hi Eugene,
I scanned your host with a simple portscanner I use from time to
time and noticed that fingerd is active. Unless you need to have it
on, I suggest disabling it as is can provide attackers with
information. Otherwise the site looks good so far. BTW I did the scan
about 12:30am on Friday. Check your logs so you can see how a port
scanning looks from the inside. No damage, of course, just a lot of log
entries.
Good Luck!

the problem was not nn but inews-nntp. I found a very old
mini-inews-nntp from some Slackware distribution. I finally figured out
that it was using a routine called uname() which conflicted with some
routine included through some header file related to NIS. After renaming
it to uname1() it now works.

bitterly as it installs. When I try to run '/etc/rc.d/init.d/ircd.init

So, who should run ircd? I have made a user name irc. It seeems that the

I have a situation where I can access a local network that
has a connection to the internet. However, this connection
is via a proxy server. (I access the network via a dial-up
PPP connection)
i.e. if I set up a PPP connection to this local network, I
can only access machines in the local network and nothing
in the internet. However, if I start up netscape and set
up the "manual proxy server" section to go through the proxy
server I can then access anything in the internet.. but
I can't access these external sites via other linux programs
(e.g. telnet, ftp, etc).
How do I set up the rest of my Linux system to use this
proxy server?

I followed this procedure and succeeded in getting my NICs (WISECOM

* Download the driver from NASA
(http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/rtl8139.html)
* Compile this driver with following command [!!! should be one long
line !!!]
gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c rtl8139.c `[
-f /usr/include/linux/modversions.h ] && echo -DMODVERSIONS`
* Move the module to the /lib/modules/preferred/net/ - directory
It will overwrite the old module (with by the way didn't work for me).
* Issue following commands, replacing the x's and y's with the
appropriate numbers :
modprobe rtl8139 # don't use depmod-command
ifconfig eth0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.x broadcast xxx.xxx.xxx.255
route add -net xxx.xxx.xxx.0 netmask 255.255.255.x # very
important
to issue this command otherwise you'll get the error saying:
# network
unreachable...
route add default gw yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
* Now you should be able to use the card for what it is meant... :)
If you want that these commands are executed at boot-time just add them

That's because the modem has no idea what to make of all the conflicting

Is /etc/ppp/ip-up.local marked as executable? (chmod +x)
Have you tried giving it a #!/bin/sh header?
Have you checked that ip-up actually calls the ip-up.local?

Nope the linux box is pure!
BUT check these findings out:
Pinging my own linux resulted in and access speed of 0.5 to 0.6 ms.
BUT ifconfig gives tx and rx of between 60 and 114 should this not be a LOT
higher?
I also tried dmesg and the result shows that eth0 is there but two more
lines underneath this statement shows 'eth0 tx timed out, lost interrupt?
TSR=0x3, ISR=0x3, t=255' twice but with the second having t=399.
I got two w95 boxes linked on this system now (just to check the lines and
cards) no probs between the two and they see each other with full access
and they both also see the linux box, but, I presume, due to the low spees
neither can access the linux box.
any clues?

I recommend against using nslookup. nslookup tries to reverse resolve
the IP address of the server which can lead to confusing and
misleading error massages. Stick with "dig".

__FAVOR_BSD Favor 4.3BSD things in cases of conflict.
If you're making modifications to the networking code, either by referencing
published materials or by including non-native source, I would set the
option. If not, I would leave it undefined. Linux is BSD *based*, but not
BSD *compliant* (hence the need for such a definition). Native Linux
networking code *may* break if you set the option, but true BSD code *will*
break if you do not define it. Whether or not you need to set it entirely
depends upon what you plan on doing. For annoying historical and legal
reasons, Linux does not contain very much true BSD code (when Linux's
original networking code was being developed, the legal status of the
then-current 4.3BSD code was unclear -- when the case was finally settled, we
were left with 4.4BSD (R1 and R2)... _that_ code was left out of Linux
because of conflicts between the terms of the court settlement and the GPL,
because of various religious reasons, and because of the existence of
FreeBSD). Is that an interesting enough story? :)
Hope this helps.
