Welcome to the wonderful world of proprietary M$ "standards".
If this is the WWW proxy, turn off all the "authentication" garbage
and connection limits. They work ONLY with Internet Exploder and BREAK
ALL OTHER client browsers. (M$ buggered with the HTTP standard and
"extended" the protocol to include a new header which other browsers
either drop or barf on.) The item in question is a drool-box which is
checked _by_default_ (uncheck it to make the thing behave according
to the RFCs).
The best bet, in this case, is to drop the M$ snake oil and run
with masquerading or NAT on a UNIX box. If you need a caching proxy,
run Squid.
This one should be in a FAQ.

Well - I use the Linux-Server as WINS-server with SAMBA,
but maybe I have not quite understood the WINS-concept:
Please tell me - where does WINS get its data for host-resolution?
Netbios? /etc/hosts? DNS?
I have switched on WINS in /etc/smb.conf, but I haven't configured
any hostnames (okay - excluding the DNS-files). Is there something
to be done for WINS?

I got very similar errors myself when I moved from 2.0.33 to 2.0.36.
Keeping
exactly the same hardware setup, compiling both kernels with exactly the
same options, 2.0.36 behaves erratically as far as my Ethernet adapter is
concerned, whereas 2.0.33 performs flawlessly. I wonder if a bug was
introduced
in 2.0.34+?

hi,
linux red hat 5.2 kernel 2.0.36
I have a small fast ethernet network at home with 3 workstations and want to
set up a proxi cache - firewall with an ADSL modem on a linux machine but
can t get two nics to work at the same time.
the two nics are the same 3c905, not b's. if i do not give any config
parameters to any eth1 will work fine but if i give configs in conf.modules,
alias 3c59x eth0
options 3c59x io=0x300 irq=11
alias 3c59x eth1
options 3c59x io=0x360 irq=9
i have the following message at boot,,
net card act delayed, bla bla bla , symbol for io parameter not found
for both cards and if i edit the conf.modules to put the irq first i ll get
symbol for irq parameter not found.
any insight to get both of my net cards works.
thanx

Start with RedHat. If you buy their latest, it comes with a decent
(cough)
book that will get you up and running. You can score a copy at nearly
any
of the major bookchains (like Hastings), as well as your better computer
chains (like Best Buy).

This opens a can of networking worms....
[ Not the least of which is 4 machines actually sharing a 56k... YUCK!]
Routing/Firewalling/DNS et. al. if you are going to have 4 IPs assigned
to you. Masquerading if you do not.... But all of it a joy! You'll see.

Uhhh.... Back to the flaccid machine. If you are going to score a DSL,
(which is most excellent!) and host websites for people, you might want
to consider putting at least a P200/64Mb to work instead of a 486, IMHO.
Linux does VERY well as a webserver. In my previous job as a sysadmin
at Kansas State University, one of my colleagues ran a RH5/Apache SSL
webserver on a 386/33 and it R0X0RED! But you are talking about a
high (DSL) bandwidth, and hosting multiple websites....
Just a thought. :^)

Really, RedHat does not LACK for much. It is just DIFFERENT. Think of
Linux as ice cream. You have many flavors (Slackware, RedHat, Debian,
SuSe, et al.) but they are ALL Linux.
IMHO, The rankings of distributions, from <Rookie> to <Net.God> go
something like this: RedHat, Caldera, SuSe, Debian, Slackware.
RedHat if you are just starting out. Slackware when you start doing
kernel-hacking, etc....
If you are indeed new to Linux, I would recommend RedHat. Hands down.

SuSe is not RedHat. To my (limited) knowledge it does not actually
CONTAIN RedHat. It is its own distro, aimed mainly at the German market.
I have only encountered one system running SuSe, and I was impressed.
I liked it. I like Debian better, however. It is just MHO.

Nope. No kernel-hacking required until you get up to speed. :^)
A lot of good programmers have spent the last six years making
Linux as good as it is.
It is so easy now that a monkey could at least get a functional system
up and running in a few hours.
Now, when you start talking about the advanced features (eg. IPMASQ)
or unsupported hardware, you get into the hairy stuff. But you are
probably a few weeks (months?) away from screwing with these things. :^)
When you get there, though... All that C/C++/JAVA/Whatever will indeed
come in handy....

Yes, the GQ tool is quite nice. :-)
Unfortunately, even with the fixes you've suggested
(which I'd tried previously), my Netscape in Linux
still doesn't like LDAP all the time. Because it
works fine with Netscape on MacOS and Win95, and
nobody else I know will be using Linux Netscape
to connect to my LDAP server, I just kind of let
the problem go.
Vaguely-related question: What mailreaders/browsers
for X do people like? I'm tiring of Netscape, but
have had a difficult time locating other readers.
Balsa looked vaguely interesting, but the compile
of one of the other related packages failed, and
I'm too lazy to look into why. One other big
sticking point is that the mailreader must preserve
the mbox format, because I telnet in to check mail
as well as read it in X. Browsers, I just want
one less bloated than Netscape, but more robust than
chimera or arena.

Hi !
I've upgraded my kernel to 2.2.5 (from 2.0.36) and Samba from 2.0 to 2.0.3-5.
The smb.conf file is the same as before. My problem is, that I can see the
Linux-Shares only all 5 Minutes for 3-5 seconds in the Network-Neighbourhood
of Windows98. If I type \\<Name_of_the_Samba_machine> in the
Network-Neighbourhood, I can see the Linux-Shares. With kernel 2.0.36 and
Samba2.0 it worked fine. I think it's a problem with nmbd, or ?
Here's my global-section from smb.conf:
guest account = nobody
workgroup = Homeoffice
hosts allow = 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd
case sensitive = no
mangle case = no
short preserve case = yes
preserve case = yes
dos filetime resolution = yes
dos filetimes = yes
remote browse sync = 192.168.0.255
Who can tell me, what is wrong with my configuration ?
Please send your replys to my E-Mail, because I don't have full access to this
newsgroup.
Thank you very much !!!

Thanks for your help... I'm still having troubles though. When I input

then set up the network with the DHCP option in Yast (running SuSE Linux
6.0), but still nothing works.
In "configure network hardware" in Yast, I don't see any tlan driver
available... I select eth0, and then can select the list of drivers, but
no tlan, only 3com drivers, NE2000,2100, etc.
I tried manually editing conf.network and replacing each line that said
"lance" (e.g. alias eth0 lance), which _is_ selectable in yast, to
"tlan", but that didn't work.
Sorry if this is silly; I did dejanews searches for info but still can't
get it to work.

Try this:

then reconfig ICQ to use ports 2000-2011 in firewall mode.
I don't flush the ipmasq or firewall rules when the link goes down. If your

Try www.google.com/linux and search "VPN". You'll find the VPN HOWTO (it's

Subject: Latency in sendmail connection
Date: Mon, 05 Apr 1999 10:51:47 -0700
I'm using RedHat 5.2 as both my sendmail server and as an IMAP4 server.
Most of the boxes connecting to it locally are running Windows 98 and
sitting behind a PIX firewall. When I first configured sendmail 8.9
(including punching holes in the anti-spam config) everything worked
fine except for a strange 45 second delay when the people on Win98 tried
to 'send and receive' mail. I found the same latency with ftp, imap, and
telenet connections. I resolved the connection delay in ftp, imap, and
telnet by making the appropriate entries in the /etc/hosts.allow file,
however sendmail continues to have a delay (though it's now only 25
seconds consistently). Does anyone know of anything besides the TCP
wrappers that could be causing this delay specific to Win98 and
Sendmail? BTW, the mail client is immaterial, both Netscape and Outlook
exhibit the same delay behaviour. Any information you might have would
be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Richard Remington

Celerons are multiplier locked. You can easily overclock them by changing
the bus speed.

Your dream machine is a toaster oven? Running a Celeron at 450 is likely
to work. 500 is unlikely. 550 is not a good idea.
