Do you indeed have a whole subnet routed to you by your provider ?
In that case yes, Linux accepts same IP on two interfaces (but some
other OS-es accept only the "every interface its own IP" principle).
But you may as well use another IP from your subnet. If you have
only one IP from your provider (the usual situation withe modem
dial-ins) do *not* assign "real" IP-s to your internal networks,
it may cause problems with connectivity to outside hosts. Use
reserved IP-s instead, e.g. from the 10.0.0.0 network, and use
IP Masquerading to get Internet access from other machines.

David,
Thanks for replying.
You hit two out of two...
I have now reconfigured the card to use BNC connection,
and added stubs with terminators (I know but forgot), and the
cards work fine under Linux.
The included DOS setup/test program still reports
that there is no connection, but the bumble bee DOTH fly.

Hi all,
I've got this strange prob with Samba.
Sometimes when I fire up the server Samba gets on the air but just doesn't
work like it should.
The Win98 box can't find a domain-server.
I restart smbd and then everything is OK again.

I dont think there is much different installing onto a stand-alone machine
compared to a main machine. Theoritically speaking, a stand-alone machine
can act as a main machine.What I suggest is, you might wanna install it on
another machine first. Get everything working on this machine, then swap in
this machine with the main machine. That way, at least you have a back-up,
just in case things do work work you want it to. You can always use back the
old one.
Getting the NIC to work with linux should be straight forward, at least for
RH. Just plug in the nic, and watch for the kernel to detect it upon
booting-up. Setup the hostname, ip addresses, subnet, etc. and of it goes.
good luck.

Isn't 8 megabytes faster than 2.3 megabytes? Anyway collision could be
caused by the usage of wrong drivers for the Network Interface Card.
If you used the generic drivers that comes with Win NT during installation,
you might get alot of collision problems especially with 3com NIC cards.
Try to change the drivers and it guess it should work.
Hopefully this is helpful to you.

Mike, sounds like you are in the same position that I am in. I have three
machines networked just to use them to learn linux and networking, a bunch of
books and a lot of time to work this out.
I have been retired over 30 years, was an AF fighter pilot, WWII, Europe

Let me know what your specific interests are and I'll send what I know about
finding info on it. I just discovered some really great documentation on a
Turbo Linux 3.0 CD that I have. (I am running RH 5.2 but was just browsing the
CD)

That's odd. I use Junkbuster on both my linux and OS/2
machines and can connect to slashdot just fine. Try adding
slashdot to the list of "don't use proxy for..." in the
manual proxy configuration for your browser. If that works,
I suspect something in your Junkbuster config files is
blocking slashdot. Track it down and eliminate it.

Hi,
we've been having problems with 3com PCMCIA cards for months now (more
specifically the 3CCFEM556B 10/100 - 56K modem card) and I've had it.
The card fails to initialise on Linux (network side) and conflicts with
the Toshiba power management tools under NT (modem - serial.sys).
If you have any good or bad experiences with your PCMCIA card, please
post it to this group; I might compile the info and put it on a website.
Personally, I'm looking for a 10/100 solution for the Tecra 8000, if
possible with modem.
Hope to hear from you,

On a Thinkpad, try adding "memory 0x60000000-0x60ffffff" in
/etc/pcmcia/config.opts.
This fixes the "no high memory available" error message for me.
However, I am running RH5.2 (2.0.36) and I still get erratic ethernet
behavior.
When I do a cold boot with the ethernet card inserted, about 50% of the
times, the
machine cant ping etc. If anyone has info on this, please let me know..

Just get the new kernel 2.2.5 from the SuSE sever, you get it as .rpm file, so
you can use YaST to install the sources. If you have KDE running, use the tools
for kernel compilation.
You can even follow David's hint, that's the correct way.

I installed BeroLinux 1.1 it comes with 2.2.3 as the kernel and 2.3.5
for pppd. I recompiled the kernel pppd no longer worked. pings either
just recive the first packet, or none at all. route just hangs unless I
give it the -n option (unable to look up names).
I then downloaded 2.2.5 kernel compiled, the only changes I made to the
configuration was to add ppp, slip, plip, and cslip as modules and tried
that, no difference. I downloaded and compiled pppd-2.3.7 ran the
script that comes with pppd (that says it will not change any files that
do not need to be changed) to update the kernel source and recompiled
the kernel. Same thing, old kernel worked, new kernel does not.
Nothing is changing except the kernel. Not even the versions. I am now
set up to boot to either 2.2.3 bero, 2.2.3 mine, or 2.2.5 mine. 2.2.3
bero works, no kernel I compile seems to work.

I think I've read in the past from somewhere(sorry it's so vague), that
the default setting for IP masquerading is to disconnect any TCP/IP
connection that has been idle for 5 minutes. I've never ventured out to
find out how to disable this feature. Since it mainly effects telnet
sessions, I just created a simple shell script that sends a character to
my screen every 4 minutes. And if I'm not doing anything, I just have the
script running. Seems to work well. But if anyone out there knows how to
actually disable the 5 minute limit, I'd love to hear from you.

Subject: Still unable to FTP or Telnet
Date: 6 Apr 1999 12:54:21 GMT
To All,
I have two Linux servers (we'll call them box1 and box2) that can ping
each other with no problem. I can access either box from several different
Windows machines using FTP or Telnet with no problem. I can access box2
from box1 using FTP or Telnet. When I try to access box1 from box2, I am
unable to connect. I receive the following messages:
from FTP:
Connected to box1.net.
421 - Service not available, remote server has closed connection.
from Telnet:
Trying box1.net.
Connected to box1.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
Does anyone know why? I have checked the following as suggested, but to no
avail.
1. Check /etc/hosts.allow to see if box2's ip is allowed in. -- file is
empty
2. Check /etc/hosts.deny to see if any ip is denied. -- file is empty
3. Check your firewall on box1 to see if you disabled telnet port 23
and ftp port 21. -- machine is not acting as a firewall
4. Check /etc/services on box1 to see what ports telnet and ftp are
running on. Make sure you telnet to the right port. -- port configuration
is correct.
Any other suggestions?
Russ
