Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I've successfully loaded RH5.2 and managed to get a single Digital DE204
ethernet card (ewrk3 driver) working. My problem comes in trying to get
a second DE204 card running. According to the docs for the ewrk3
driver, this driver supports multiple cards. With both DE204 cards in
the system, I can insmod either card to work but not both at the same
time. I try to do 'insmod ewrk3 io=0x340,0x300 irq=5,10' and only the
0x340,5 card will be loaded. If I change the order the options are
given, only the 0x300,10 card is loaded. There doesn't seem to be any
conflict between the two because a) I can substitute another ethernet
card for either of the two using the substituted DE204 card's parameters
(same memory address, irq, io) and they both work no problem and b) I
very carefully verified the resources in use on my system and those the
cards are requesting. The diagnostics program that came from DEC
recognizes both DE204 cards and can successfully recognize and test
both.
Has anyone done this before? Anything obvious I'm missing to get two
cards loaded using one driver?
Help!

I'm trying to set up my 3 COM Impact IQ. It works fine in Win 98, but now
I'm trying to set it up in RH. I went through all the steps in Network
Configurator and in the edit PPP page, but when I go to "connect", I get
nothing.
However, when I pull up MINICOM, I can dial and get a connection (however I
still don't get a Login: prompt from my ISP). I know there are problems
getting the Impact IQ to use both channels, etc. But my first concern is
getting Linux to recognize the modem in the first place.
Any suggestions?

I can get up to the point of making the ramdisk and am unsure on exactly
what to do next?
I am not sure on what "mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.2.1.img 2.2.1" does or where
the symbolic link to the new 2.2.2 kernel is
as it is source and not an rpm and has no symbolic link.
Basically I am totally lost right up to and after this point.
Cheers,
Aaron

Subject: Cable Modem Problems ...
Date: 11 Mar 1999 20:55:45 GMT
I have a question as to how I can go about getting my new cable modem to
work.
The modem is a Motorola CyberSurfer Wave, and when I boot into Linux, I see
the following:
ne2k-pci.c:v0.99L 2/7/98 D. Becker/P. Gortmaker
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/ne2k-pci.html
ne2k-pci.c: PCI NE2000 clone 'RealTek RTL-8029' at I/O 0xd800, IRQ 10.
eth0: PCI NE2000 found at 0xd800, IRQ 10, 00:00:B4:9B:20:1C.
ne2k-pci.c: PCI NE2000 clone 'RealTek RTL-8029' at I/O 0xd400, IRQ 11.
eth1: PCI NE2000 found at 0xd400, IRQ 11, 00:40:05:E2:F5:D2.
This strikes me as bizarre, seeing that I did no configuration whatsoever,
for the second card, which is the one to which my modem is connected ...
:-| In addition, the box says SN2000, but I assume that it is an NE2000
compatible.
I run ifconfig, and see the following:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:B4:9B:20:1C
inet addr:192.68.0.1 Bcast:192.68.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:49 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 coll:0
Interrupt:10 Base address:0xd800
The second card isn't there, as you can see.
So my question is: how do I enable that card at boot?
I can ping to the inside of my LAN, but not to the outside, and I can't
resolve hostnames either. I've read the NET-3 HOWTO, but the problem is
that I can't pass parameters to LILO when I boot, as I don't use LILO: I
boot from a diskette. I could install from scratch, and install LILO, but
my system is running just the way I want it, including my girlfriend's
thesis ... :-)
Why don't I just type:
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/vmlinuz
I hear you ask ...
I tried: when I run LILO, it tells me the kernel is too big.
Your suggestions would be welcome, as I have 2 Mb/s just waiting to be used
here ... :-)
Thanks.
D.Coughlan.

RH5.2 ppp dialup to an NT RAS server. PPP is already working and connects to
the other end. Then the line drops after about 30 secs. Looking for some
straight forwards info on what's needed, and how to set it up.

I am runnning kernel 2.0.33 and everything seems to be okay, with
the exception of the in.telnetd daemon. Incoming telnet calls are
systematically rejected, but if I telnet to myself it works all right;
i.e. I get the prompt and can login with no problems.
Has anybody got any insights to explain what is going on, and how to
fix the problem?

This message appears when you are "refreshing" a cgi script. You will not be
able to "get rid" of that message. Basically you have requested that the
script be run again by reloading the page. Therefor the script is asking you
if you want the same data to be shown again. Hope this clears things up for
you.

If you aren't bothering with Windows, the built-in NFS will do the trick.
First, make sure that you have actually installed the NFS-server package
in RedHat; it isn't installed by default. It contains the rpc.mountd and
rpc.nfsd daemons which are necessary. If it isn't installed, you'll get
this wierd error message of "RPC : program not registered" if you try to
mount the share.
To share a volume:
Launch Linuxconf. Under Networking/Server Tasks, select "Exported File
Systems". Then enter the mount point for the volume you want to share--if
you're going to share the entire drive the thing to do is to share the
root itself. Otherwise you can restrict it as you want. You can make
multiple shares, or one big share, or whatever. (If you've ever shared out
a directory under Windows this should seem pretty familiar.)
Do that on each of the computers if you want to be able to share drives
between them (that is, Computer A shares its drive with Computer B, and
Computer B shares its drive with Computer A.)
NOTE: you can also do this by editing /etc/export, but Linuxconf does make
it somewhat easier.
Then, to mount the drives on the client machine, you use this syntax:
mount -t nfs <hostname>:<dir> <mountpoint>
For example: say you have a computer named "fred" and another named
"snord." You share out fred's /usr directory using the export above.
Create the mount point on 'snord', say 'fredmnt'. Then on snord, you would
mount it this way:
mount -t nfs fred:/usr /fredmnt
You would do something similar to share something on 'snord' with 'fred'.
If you have a basic Linux book, like the O'Reilly "Running Linux", you can
get more information. There is also a Networking HOWTO in usr/doc.
Finally, if you're going to involve any Windows-based machines in this
network, you can use Samba. But that's another story.

Date: Thu, 11 Mar 1999 18:01:36 -0400
I have a linux system acting as a firewall/masq. I do not have valid IPs on
my internal network hence masq. What I want to do is allow a connection on
a specific port to be routed to an internal computer from the internet. i
don't know if I need additional software or if ipfwadm can do this. I am
using redhat 5.2 kernel 2.0.36-0.7. Example: have smtp routed from the
internet to linux box w/ valid IP to system without valid IP 192.168.x.x.
smtp port only.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Date: Thu, 11 Mar 1999 20:49:40 GMT
having a degree or certification is by no means required. I was hired
by a video game company when I was 18 (2 weeks after graduating high
school) based on a demo I wrote. I showed them the demo and the
source code, and they gave me my first job (making a whopping $27k a
year which was like a million back then). My point is, showing
something that you have done WITH the source code you did it with is
another avenue to getting a job. You'll be hard pressed to find one
with a big company, but small to mid sized companies that actually do
some work will probably welcome you with open arms if you can actually
do the work.
good luck

Question 2> IP-Masquerading the doc is very clear and the setup is
easy. The catches are to leave the default route for ppp in Network
Configurator. Click forwarding on and fill out /etc/resolv.conf with
your nameserver - see ppp and isp howto's. Should take about 10 minutes
to setup.
