This sounds like and IRQ problem to me. By forcing the OS to look at
the NIC it spots that there are incomming packets waiting to be
processed.
Check for IRQ discredencies or clashes.
Note: I'm guessing here. I've not seen this with NICs before but I
have seen something very similar with serial cards - card did not work
unless I had a tight loop echoing null strings to it.

You need to have a PTR (reverse DNS) record as well as an A record. In
named.conf, setup a zone like:
zone "0.10.10.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "10.10.0.db";
};
In the file 10.10.0.db you will put all your reverse DNS entries for the
10.10.0.0 network. It'll look something like:
$ORIGIN 0.10.in-addr.arpa.
10 IN SOA <server>. root.<server>. (
11 28800 7200 604800 86400 )
IN NS <server>.
$ORIGIN 0.10.10.in-addr.arpa.
25 IN PTR <server>.
If you are going to maintain a nameserver beyond just caching for your
local LAN I suggest you buy "DNS and BIND" from O'Reilly.

(I assume you mean eth0 as the first, esp since it's the one with IP

Actually, it doesn't sound like a problem with the card at all. It
sounds like your dns configuration is going belly up. When it "hangs"
next time, try pinging a known IP address instead of a hostname and
see if that works.
(What clued me in is your 'route' ... with the '-n', it doesn't do
hostname lookups on the ip addresses.)
If you can ping an ip address but not a name, double check that (1)
your dns configuration is as you expect it to be, and (2a) your DNS
server is reachable and up, or (2b) if you're running your own name
server, that it is still running.

Well, we are looking at 8-10 ports. I am trying to decide how I want to solve
the problem.
A) I can hook up an ISDN line at each office connected to the Internet. I
could then use the Internet to connect our offices, and offer Internet
services to each office. Problems is, I am not sure I can justify $300 per
office for connection. If I use dynamic IP with dial-up ISDN, I can get
$50-$100 per office at around 150 hours, but will have one hell of a time
connecting the offices. Since the IP address will change, it seems I would
have to have some wierd mechanism to let the other routers know the new IP
address everytime a network/office came up. B) Connect the offices via
modems/PPP. Sounds nice, but I buy equipment and phone lines and get no
Internet. I would then need more modems and phone lines, or dial-up ISDN, for
that connection. So, now I have modems, phone lines, and ISDN and a lot of
equipment.
I would prefer A, but am unsure of how to use dynamic IP in that manner. Any
ideas anyone?
I had considered giving each office one modem with a dedicated line. When it
came up on ISDN it could call the main office and forward the new IP address
to a script, which would then update the main office's route table. Seems
pretty hairy.

I then tried changing the contents of /etc/ppp/ip-up.local to do the
following:

No more, no less. Tried activating the link again using ifup ppp0, but the
file /home/john/ip-up.output does not get created.
I tried running ifup ppp0 using either root or a non-root user, still no file
named /home/john/ip-up.output.

How do you get ftp (client) to download the files such that the date and time
of the downloaded file is the same as the date and time from the ftp server?
ftp sets the date and time of the file downloaded to the system's date and
time, not the date and time of the file from the ftp server.
Using ncftp instead of ftp solved the above problem, but ncftp times out very
quickly. How do you set ncftp to be allow a longer timeout period? It's easily
set in ftp, but the man pages of ncftp does not show this option.

I have an NT server at my office that I can dial into. Besides providing
access to my LAN, it provides IP. That's all I really want as far as a Linux
connect goes. I changed the server to allow non encrypted logins. I tried
using the instructions in the HowTo on connecting to an ISP. I tried the
Network Configuration under the control panel in X windows. In either case,
the modem calls in and connects, but I never get an IP address and after a
few minutes it disconnects. I am running Red Hat 5.1, and I am still very
new to Linux, so please be explicit about commands to use. I can change
parameters on the NT server, which I am much more familiar with. Also, I
would appreciate a CC by email on replies. I will come back and look for
them, but my ISP doesn't seem to get all messages in a timely fashion.

Yesterday, I found the best X server/viewer for windows (and linux) that I have
seen yet and it is free (GNU Public License). It is called VNC from Olivetti and
Oracle research laboratory. You can connect from linux->windows, windows->linux,
linux->linux, windows->windows. It is a lot better than any of the other products
I have seen ot this kind. I don't have the URL (it is at work) you can email me or

In terms of reliability I hope that you don't mean Win$ 95/98.
I'm using NT and I had to bluescreens in 3 years, of these only 1 I don't
know why.
I use MI/X (http://www.microimages.com/ ) because it's free and it works for

I also have ran into the problem that Linux crashes the Sun Solaris
server. Upgrading Linux to 2.2.3 seems to help. Upgrading Solaris to
2.6 or 2.7 should help too as it appears that this is a bug of solaris
trigered by Linux. However my sys. admin. refuse to do that because it

read Ethernet-HOWTO.
You don't need to reinstall REDHAT, let it find the card at the
boot time, or give the card's irq and base as a parameter at lilo
promt (or in conf.modules). RedHat has no problems with ne2000.

* Until now, we have been using the number 24 to identify Deflate
compression in the CCP negotiations, which was the number in the draft
RFC describing Deflate. The number actually assigned to Deflate is
26. The code has been changed to use 26, but to allow the use of 24
for now for backwards compatibility. (This can be disabled with the
`nodeflatedraft' option to pppd.)
ppp-compress-21 is for bsd compression, -26 is the "proper" number for
deflate, and -24 is the number that's been used (erroneously) in
ppp-2.x for a while.
Try putting the following in /etc/conf.modules (or /etc/modules.conf,
whichever you have):
alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate
alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate

These refer to the IPX and Appletalk protocols, respectively.
Evidently you don't have them compiled into the kernel. If you have
them as modules, then they haven't been loaded and aren't referenced
correctly. I'll assume that you don't intend on using them. Add the
following to /etc/conf.modules:
alias net-pf-4 off
alias net-pf-5 off
