First of all, you got to make sure your network interface card is working, i.e,
the kernel is detecting it upon booting up. Trying making sure that by looking
at the boot-up messages. Dont worry if u coulnt catch that. Just type 'dmesg
|less' and see if the nic is detected. If it is not, then you got to do
something, perhaps reinstalling :( , of reconfiguring the kernel. If you see
something like Network.......0A:0B:0C:01....(something like this), that means
your kernel is detecting ur nic. Once u have this, then do a 'ifconfig' and see
if nic interface is configured. Once u have this configured, I believe it should
be okay.
Trying reading the Net-3 howto. It explains all this in there.
p/s: Successfully telneting to 127.0.0.1 doesnt mean u got the nic working.
127.0.0.1 is just like an internal loop. It doesnt go thro the network card. I
bet if u telnet to its ip address instead, from the local machine itself, it
wont work. This indicates the nic is not working.

For all fairness, consumers deserve basic service like simply telling the
user to log back in in single user mode. I agree with Richard Steiner's
comment -- by doing "the right thing" for customers...
Some people are very helpful even without pay. They take time to help users
in the newsgroup.... Without these people, how could we possibly resolve
problem without paying for expensive support.
For people like you, not even trying to help, but kiss ass for bad vendor
support. Get lost! We don't need you here.

Im not sure if this will help you but here goes
is the liinux box a domain for the windows one?
if so are you using encyted passwords?
if not then you need to set the windows machine to send plain text passwords
go to
www.samba.org
and go to the FAQ youl see a bit there telling you how to send plain text

But i dont think you are having it as a domina so

The easiest way is to have your Canadian clients check the Toronto server
first and the US server second. If Toronto returns a nay the client will
automatucally check the US server. Even Win98 allows for multiple DNS
servers (I think).
Beyond that I can't help much. Do these servers manage different zones?
IF they are for the same zone, which is authoritative (master)? If both
are masters, why the hell aren't they kept in sync?

Subject: IPFWADM & Multiple PPP connects
Date: 5 Apr 1999 08:55:04 GMT
Problem is simple ;-)
Until now IPFWADM has been working away here with a single ISP using a static IP
address on a normal dialup account. All works fine.
However, I have a need from time to time to connect to the net using other ISP's,
which do NOT issue me with a static IP address. (Dynamic).
PPP is all setup and works fine to dial each ISP accordingly, no problems there. But
where I am alittle stumped is how grab the IP address issued to the Interface (ppp0)
after connection, insert it into the IPFWADM rules, so I can reload the tables
accordingly.
My IPFWADM rules uses the format of $MYISPAD wherever the Internet number is
referenced to. With a line like MYISPAD=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd at the start of the file.
Where of course aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd is the actual IP number.
Therfore one only needs to change this one single entry and reload to change the many
enteries in the firewall.
This can be done manually of course, and it works just fine... but a pain. What I
really desire is some sort of script to extract the IP (maybe from ifconfig ppp0 cmd)
as soon as the connect is made, copy the address to the ipfwadm file, and then I can
reload.
Ideas?

Try defining your default context for the LDAP server... i.e. mine is

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could advise me on connecting my Linux box to
a WinNT box so as to be able to print from Linux on that printer. ANY
guidelines for such a setup would be MOST appreciated as I am still
quite a novice in the Linux network field.
Linux Box
-PPro 200
-Slackware Linux v4.0.0
-Kernel v2.2.4
-Samba v2.0.3
-Other packages shipped with the distrib.
WinNT Box
-WinNT Workstation v4.00, sp4
-TCP/IP network already fully installed/operational

Hi there,
I heard that the driver is buggy, but it is ok when I used the default
slackware 3.6 kernel (2.0.35) .
Now I have recompiled with 2.0.36 and pcmcia-cs-3.0.8, normal light
traffic is ok, for instance, telnet, ping etc.
However, acting as a host and trying to retrieve data from this host,
error I got from the console is

It's ok for this card to receive heavy traffic also.
Any advice ?

Well, maybe I'm just lucky that my ISP doesn't use PAP or CHAP, or maybe
if they did then I would have had a working connection a lot sooner. All I
know is that this works, and it's virtually the only thing that does. I had
to set KPPP for login scripting as well; PAP only worked some of the time,
the login scripting works *every* time. There's something to be said for
that.

As I've griped before, it annoys me that there are several ways to do
everything, instead of one right-and-proper-and-works way. It seems that
every HOWTO and .doc you read has a different way of going about whatever it
is you're trying to do. Very frustrating for the newbie.

Everything that inetd would start is disabled, yes, though those are
not the only possible exploitable entry points. Do a "ps fax | less"
to see what all is running, and you'll see what is available.
Typical programs that provide external access are:
httpd Web server
innd News (nntp) server
lpd Print server
named DNS name server
nfsd NFS server
portmap (stuff, though this alone is not necessarily
indicative of external access)
sendmail Email (smtp) server
smbd/nmbd Samba (Windows file/printer sharing)
sshd Secure Shell (pretty secure)
syslogd/klogd System logging facility
This list is not all inclusive; these are just a handful. If you have
any of these present, then it is *possible* that there is external
access allowed. However, many of these provide restrictions based on
source address and interface used, as well as secure methods of
authentication before anything can potentially be done. (That's not
to say that everything is 'secure'; that's another -- lengthier --
discussion altogether.)
Even if you don't configure each package to restrict access, using
ipfwadm or ipchains you can very effectively disable incoming
connections on specific ports (or all ports, for that matter, though
this is not necessarily what you may want).

Date: Mon, 05 Apr 1999 13:07:39 GMT
Well I thought I had it figured out, but I was wrong.
It appears that if I go in to Network Neighborhood before I dial into work
(after a fresh reboot) all that shows up is my local systems (of course) but
then when I do dial in that is still all that shows up. Even after closing
and re-opening net-hood.
If I dial into work and then start net-hood (for the first time since reboot),
all computers on work and home network show up.
Heres the sequences of events...
#1
Reboot Win box
Open Net Hood (see computers on home network)
Close Net Hood
Dial-in to work
Open Net Hood (Still see only home network)
#2
Reboot Win box
Dial in to work
Open Net Hood (See all work AND home computers)
Does any body have any clues on why this would happen, and how I could
consistently get the results I want(#2)?
Also, I just set up my linux system to dial in to work (PPP). I was not able
to see any computers on the work network using smbclient. I am sure that
there has got to be a way to do this, but I am just not sure how. Any ideas?
Thank you

I can't ping my ISP server (212.254.10.14) nor can I ping any other
server (e.g. 137.82.43.58 or DNS Server). The only thing I can ping
(what a rhyme :-)) is my own IP adress (dynamic). I'm really stuck. What

Date: Sun, 04 Apr 1999 21:43:38 -0400
I have 2 boxes connected via a serial ppp and can telnet and ftp
and share directories, but can't send email between them.
I have the name and ip of the machines in my host file but the
machine does not know that the other one exists mailwise.
I feel, though I am not sure that the proble is a DNS problem.
I have even removed the word "bind" in my hosts file to force
whatever software it is to look in the hosts file, but it doesn't
seem to. All the docs that I have read seem to indicate that
the software will look in the hosts file before it trys to do
a DNS lookup. The only other choice is, as I see it, is to
configure the DNS to know about my two machines on the local
network. I'm not sure how to do this. I find it hard to get
a handle on how the process of sending mail happens, in a
flow chart way, to know each step of the process and to be
able to troubleshoot each part.
Could the problem be in the configuration of Sendmail?
I have not found online doc that explains the whole process. They
seem to explain the pieces of the process.
Could there be an inherent problem in the Sendmail or the
DNS software.
I have Red Hat 5.1

Subject: Re: Realtek RTL8029 Ethernet card not working
Date: 5 Apr 1999 13:40:46 GMT
I tried but could not get it to work however I think my card was bad from
the start. I just bought another ISA ethernet card.
cd /etc
edit conf.modules and place/replace
alias eth0 ne2kpci
options ne2kpci io=a800 MAY NOT NEED try without this line first.
Somebody else got it to work with
alias eth0 ne
options ne io=a800 irq=11
Good Luck hope I helped
