I have looked at that. But it's not all that good in terms of

If you don't need "real" PPP, there's an open-source program called SLiRP that
will fake a PPP account from user privileges. It has many of the same
problems that IP Masquerading does, but it was a lot better than my shell
account at the time. Way back then, that was the only way to browse the web
at all from my crummy provider.
Essentially you dial in and start SLiRP with a script, and then let your
remote PPPd take over with a fake internet address (likely 192.168.0.1): SLiRP
will do as much translation as it can for you without root access. It's
enough for most basic applications but all the ICMP stuff breaks.

For testing the network, don't worry too much about the names. The names are
a layer grafted on over the numbers. If you can ping and traceroute to remote
numbers, you're fine -- to get the names working you just configure DNS.
I understand many cable providers bind the service to a specific network
card. You may need to use the card they gave you. I'd check that first
thing.
To get the network operational, all you really MUST have is the correct IP
address and gateway. The network mask is just for broadcasts, and USUALLY
will not interfere with your ability to connect. (in some cases it can but
not often.) You have to have the correct DNS number to get the friendly names
instead of numbers, but it isn't required for numbers-only operation.
Try using 'ifconfig eth0' when logged in as root. That will tell you your
network configuration. You might copy and paste the output and let us take a
look at it.

It wouldn't. Unix ping goes on forever. Windows ping defaults to 4
repetitions. (if you want forever in Windows, use ping -t.)

Again, check to be sure you are using the same card that they gave you. If
not, call them and ask them if you can use a different ethernet card.
I really do not understand why they do that -- it is such a hassle for the end
user. :(

Date: Mon, 05 Apr 1999 11:48:09 -0700
The problem is solved! With this e-mail I want to do 2 things:
1. Thank you guys:
==================
People in this list have been great! I got long e-mails with
suggestions, and
ideas and I know people spent their precious time trying to help. Too
many
people offered help to thank everybody personally here, so I am sending
a
general thanks to everybody. THANKS!
2. The solution:
=================
In case it will benefit some other adventurer in the future here's a
brief
description of the problem and the solution. I had a home LAN
consisting of 2
linux boxes. Box-1 was the server, having 2 NICs, one connected to the
ISP and
the other to linux Box-2 via a hub. Everything in this setup was
100-baseT.
Both machines could see each other and the world, but transfer rates
were slow.
Ftp from server (Box-1) to client (Box-2) would get a file from Box-2 to
Box-1
with transfer rates of 100Kb/sec. Putting a file from server (Box-1) to
client
(Box-2) it would give 10Kb/sec. Both rates quite slow. But the problem
was
clearly asymmetric.
Solution: the NIC on the server seeing the LAN was 3COM 3c905. The NIC
on the
client was a LinkSys 100/10 Tx. Following the suggestion of several
people I
used the 3Com configuration program (running under DOS) to switch
FULL-DUPLEX
off in the 3c905. This helped somewhat. The rates went up from 100Kb/sec
and
10Kb/sec to 400Kb/sec and 70Kb/sec, but clearly remained still too low.
What
really fixed the problem was switching the two cards. That is, I moved
the
LinkSys from the client (Box-2) to the server (Box-1) and put in its
place the
3c905. Now I get around 7MB/Sec both ways. I am still not sure why the
location
of the cards was important. The only suggestion I have is that the
LinkSys card
is completely auto-configurable and may be this complete "auto" stuff is
not
working properly in all aspects.
Thanks again -- Stavros

Because that first IP address was the address of the Windows box, not the
Linux one. Samba couldn't possibly provide services on a network card in a
different computer. :-) That probably confused it badly enough to prevent
answering on the correct interface.

I'm trying to build a network of laptops, and I want to use Linux (RedHat 5.2)
as my OS. The problem is that this particular project requires maximum
flexibility, which means that the PCMCIA Ethernet card has to support 10Base2

10/100 thing, but I haven't seen any that also include the BNC connector for
10Base2 connectivity.
Can anybody help with a recommendation?

In the end, it turned out that the instructions I previously mentioned
(coupled with the corrections from the other posters) were rather sound.
It appears that I myself had not properly followed them. My problems
evidently resulted from my two word username, which was easily remidied by
placing single quotes (apostraphes) around it in my PAP file and in my
actual invocation of PPPD.
In any case, for those of you who still suffer from pppd woes, I highly

Hi. I have recently (last week) loaded Mandrake Linux. This is the first

I have managed to get my NE2000 network card setup, and I can telnet into
the linux box from Win 95 without problems. I am able to log in, and do
pretty much what I like, but I CANNOT transfer files.
Firstly - it wont let "root" log in over telnet - is this normal ???
Secondly, how can I take files from, or put files onto the linux machine
from within the Win9x machine by going down the lan ???
Am I missing something ro what - I know that you cant see the machine in
Win9x networking as linux doesnt use the Client for Microsoft Networks, but
is there something similar that I can get to allow me to swap files between
the 2 machines ????

I have RealTek 8029 cards and they work fine.
Looking at your post it seems that Linux sees the cards OK, so it's probably
a hardware configuration fault.
Questions
1) Have you configured the card to use the BNC connection. By default is
uses the RJ45 connection.
You should have been supplied with a floppy disk. On this will be a program
that allows you to change the card's settings. Just boot using a DOS floppy
and run the program. Select the 10Base2 interface and then save settings.
Reboot PC into linux and try again.
2) If that doesn't work, is the BNC cable properly terminated. May cause
packet loss if not.
If this solves your problem please let me know.

Step 1 - First Win95.
============================
I take you have the network card installed and recognised by Windows.
Open the Control Panel and click on the Network icon.
Make sure the Network adapter appears, TCP/IP is installed and binded to the
network card.
You should also have Microsoft Client installed and File and Print Sharing
enabled.
You will probably want to manually set the IP address as you will not have a
DHCP server.
Use IP Address 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Restart PC.
Occe started, got to MS-DOS box and type
ping 192.168.1.1
You should recieve a response. If not you will require more help in settings
up Win95 network.
Linux requires more work to setup you will want to be in the same subnet so
use IP address 192.168.1.2 for the linux box and subnet address
255.255.255.0
Read the HOWTO's from the Linux Documentation on how to setup Ethernet and
Samba as this is to detailed to explain here.

The linux kernel does support the Digital Tulip chipset and is quite a good
chipset at that.
Did you use YAST to setup the network cards. This is the easiest way of
setting up networking in SuSE.
Just type YAST to launch the configurator. This will allow you to set the
host name, IP address etc and will change all the required files. Make sure
you can ping yourself before trying to ping another machine on your network.
Is the patch cable ok that you are using.
Also when you say "no-name" network card, sometimes knowing the name of
generic cards can allow me to determine which chipset the card uses. Common
PCI generic chipsets are the Realtek 8019, 8029 and the Digital Tulip
chipset.

I do not understand HOW they can do that. An ethernet card puts out the
same signals no matter from which company. Do you mean that they bind
the response to the MAC address on the card? That would seem silly since
one might have to replace the card.

Yes. Since root is the most powerful user of the system, preventing root
from logging in from a network is a security feature. You can defeat
this, but I wouldn't recommend it. You should use root to administer your
system and you should use a normal user account to do you day-to-day
computing.

FTP will work. Again, you won't be able to telnet into the Linux box as
root. Yes, this can be defeated, but... So, ftp in as that user I
mentioned above.

Actually, there is a package called Samba that will allow most unix
systems act as one a member of a Microsoft Domain or Workgroup. In fact,
Samba allows you to make the Linux box the Domain Controller for the
whole domain!! Check out www.samba.org. Setting Samba up can be
difficult, though, so I'd start with FTP and move to Samba when you are
more comfortable with Linux.

Tell you what: buy a copy of _The_Wiz_Biz_ and if you don't
want to keep it after reading it, I'll buy it.
The medical bills (from laughing to bust a gut) are your own.

Date: Mon, 05 Apr 1999 20:06:08 GMT
I had the same problem, lpr doesn't seem to use the sh in the printcap file. I
ended up giving lpr the -h switch in my smb.conf, and that stops it from
printing the banner page. But I still have the same problem with netatalk
though, so if anyone know how to suppress it in printcap I would like to know.
