I am using the Intel EtherExpress PRO/100+ card in a RedHat 5.2 server,
and it works just fine. It uses the eepro100 driver (version 0.99?
comes with RHL5.2, current revision is 1.05, from
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers ). The driver that comes with
works fine, unless you need appletalk. If so, check out the mailing

Date: Tue, 6 Apr 1999 07:43:55 -0700
Hello,
I'm a novice... using Redhat 5.2. When I installed Redhat the first time I
did not install network support. It was easy getting connected to my ISP by
making two nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf and editing /etc/ppp/ppp-on with
the phone number and stuff.
I decided to network and just did a reinstall of Redhat setup NE2000 PCI
card and selected Samba. It works.... a win95 & win98 machine can see the
shared folders in the Linux box and vise-versa. However, now my
/etc/ppp/ppp-on dials to my ISP and connects... but it just sits there.
Example.. I can't ftp shasta.cnw.com (which I could before) it just sits
there untill I kill it.
Also, when Linux boots it hangs on sendmail for a long time. Can anybody
point me in the right direction here... I want to move on to bigger and
better Linux things.
thanks,
Wayne

Propably you don't have configured your /etc/resolv.conf to include your
ISP's name server. I'm sure they'll tell it to you even you are running that
renegade OS :)
So, when you have the IP address of the nameserver put it in
/etc/resolv.conf like this:
nameserver 123.223.123.223
Roope
BTW if you cant connect with plain IP-addressess now, the problem lies
elsewhere. Try this on netscape: http://206.170.14.75

I know of no controller that allows "modifications" to the CSMA/CD
algorithm. What you *are* able to do (on many cards) is to put the device
into full-duplex mode, which disables carriersense and collision detect,
but which constrains you to specific configurations (two stations,

sounds like your talking about ip nat, yes the linux kernel does support
this, but ipfwadm will not configure the relevant kernel modues to do
this.
ipfwadm will, however, configre the relevant kernel modeules to do ip
pat ( known as IP Masquerading ).

Make mrproper basically hoses all changes you had made to the system.
You need to follow that up with a make config ; make modules ; make

It sounds like you left out the make modules or make modules_install

I **STRONGLY** recommend getting another network card. This way, you at

concept: masquerading
comment: allows a whole network to be hidden behind one or
more ip addresses (the latter is often called NAT)
how: outbound packet header (src ip address and src port)
is rewritten by masquerading firewall to appear to
come from firewall; firewall keeps track of active
connections and can rewrite inbound packet headers
correctly; it then does standard ip routing to make
the packet arrive at the internal machine

I am having the same problem on my Mandrake 5.3 system with the 2.2.3-ac4 kernel.
My system has Redhat 5.2 with a 2.2.1 kernel in one partition and Mandrake 5.3 with the
2.2.3 kernel in another. Using the same Minicom binary on both systems:
When I boot the Redhat side I can access the modem (/dev/ttyS1), get response to ATI11
commands and dial a number.
When I boot the Mandrake side, Minicom outputs the modem init string and just hangs
there - no OK from the modem etc..
I have tried a ppp-on script to cause chat to dial a number and on the Mandrake 2.2.3
side and that works. But then the connection drops with a report of write error from
pppd in the message log.
The results from a setserial query are the same from both systems.
I sure hope someone has some suggestions. And to [EMAIL PROTECTED], while I am sorry
you are having a problem, I sure am glad to learn I am not the only one with this one.

Could you elaborate (please)?

In the risk of sounding like a moron, how do I make sure of that? Is
there something inparticular I need to set up?

Completely right. The message goes away once you connect to a TR network.Unlike
ethernet, a TR adapter can actually detect whether it is connected to a
network, and reports the status of that connection back to you.
If you don�t want the messages written to the console, try editing
/etc/syslog.conf.

Hello,
Keep in mind, the main thing to concentrate on is your own unreplaceable data.
Application and system files can be replaced.
With that said, I do something similar to this using an extra instance of NT.
When I want to back up my NT OS files, I boot into my backup instance. Then, I
save my NT system directory and my root directory to tape.
Restoration after a disk disaster works seemlessly if the new drive is identical
to the old one. Install a new instance of the backup OS. Then, restore the NT
system directory and the root directory from tape.
However, if the disk is differently sized, games must be played to get NT to
accept new hardware registry settings and old application registry settings. The
procedure is listed in the MS knowledge base under "disaster recovery" or
something like that.
There are two caveats: this doesn't always work and MS doesn't support this
procedure. The first time I tried this it worked--the last time, it didn't
work. I may have not had partitions set up properly. On the other hand, there
may have been problems with the file permissions. I should have tried resetting
file permissions to "Everybody - Full" in the newly restored system directory.
If you're not messing with file permissions, you may have better luck than I did.
If someone lands on a better process that MS' procedure, please forward it to me.
