Hey, everyone. I'm a newbie at Linux who is attempting to set up a
Winblows98/Linux network at home, since I don't have a real modem yet
(stupid winmodems...) The network, I'm hoping, will be one with 98 as the
server and the Linux box as the client. I have two Intel EtherExpress 16 ISA
cards that should do the trick; except that Linux doesn't detect the card,
and Windows doesn't detect Linux... I'm running into some problems already.
I want to use SAMBA from Linux and (hopefully) transfer some files that I
downloaded onto my Windows partition into my Linux box, over the network. If
anybody has any other suggested ways, then let me know.
Anyway, I would appreciate it if anyone could possibly help me out,
recommend a good FAQ page on how to set it up, maybe even email or post some
advice for me... or maybe recommend a book with good instructions on how to
do it. Any help would be appreciated. Also, just a small question: I'm a
teenager, I was wondering how old the rest of the people in these newsgroups
are. Thanks in advance for any help that you might give me!

I have been running Linux as my primary OS for 6 months now and there is
one feture I have on my 95 setup that I miss. It was a utility that
installed with my previous modem.
When I was online an the utility detected a ring it disconected my net
connection and my home phone rang.
Is there a way to do this using either pppd or diald. I currently use
ppp.

During the installation of Redhat 5.2, I have setup the eth0, which is a
NE2000 compatible nic occuping 0x300 and IRQ 9.
What's more, I follow the book instruction to use netcfg to add a new
interface eth1.
After this, I reboot my Linux box ... I notice that there is something like:
eth0 ... 0x300 ... IRQ 9
modprobe can't locate module eth1
what is this mean ???
As a result, I cannot notice eth1 when I enter ifconfig command.
what should I do ?

Make sure that the modem is set to repond with message codes. You can turn the
response and error codes off. Your modem manual will tell you how to do this.

You probably typed ATDT <Enter> to get dial tone. Every modem will hang up when you
hit another key. You wanted to type ATDT2341234 <Enter> where the numbers are who
you are calling.

Well, get rid of it (or if you are attachece to it, put single quote
marks around the \rAT. I have never been able to figure out why they put
those \r all over the place in that script.
It is the carriage return in the expect sequence, except tht script has
them all ovr teh place in teh send sequences. Totally silly.
Anyway, your modem does not understand rAT. No modem understands rAT.
your modem refuses to answer such a silly command. Thus your chat script
dies waiting for an OK from that command.

I just fought this battle and unfortunately, I'm no expert. I did
get it to work, however - I just know it's not very secure.
I *think* that the minimum requirement is to simply set
up the hosts file so that incoming requests are recognized.
(I found this out by using a laptop running Linux to test).
After that, you can alter the hosts.allow and hosts.deny
files to be more specific about who gets in.
This is probably just a case of having to holding my mouth just
right, but I found that I have to use a fully qualified domain
name to get in correctly (e.g. telnet wheezer.home.net
instead of telnet wheezer).
Keep checking your syslog for hints bout what's going on.

First things first: I can't set up the Linux box as the server, simply
because the only working Net connection is the one from the Winbox, via the
Winmodem. I know, I know- I'm looking to pick up a 33.6 external, but being
a teen and all... makes it a little tough. Anyway, second off, and less
important: my name's not really Tony, that's just a joke and a way for me to
divert the spam. And no, the Samba's not up yet- I haven't been able to get
it to recognize the card. Any suggestions?

By the way, I can now connect through Networking inside Control-panel,

Tony,
Why not put Linux as your ISP server and get both machines on the
internet? You would use IP-Masquerading and its easy to setup. Samba
is also easy.
There is mention in the Ethernet-HOWTO about EtherExpress but they
mention 10 and 10/100 cards but may be your chipset is supported. You
might search Deja and searchlinux.com for more info. Not sure if you
setup with Samba or looking for information. ?
The people who post are all ages and experience levels so no one's an
oddball and no question is dumb unless you have not done a little on
your end to figure things out. Dump questions are expected as the
initial confruntation with linux can be confusing and sometimes just
finding the doc seems like a major triumph.
Is your Samba up?

I've had no success getting either a 3Com 3CCFEM556B 10/100:56K or Intel
EtherExpress PRO/100 working on a IBM Thinkpad 770 laptop. cardmgr
(with pcmcia-3.0.6) recognizes each card and seems to configure eth0
but I can't get packets out of either. All I can figure is that I've
got the /etc/pcmcia/network.opts set up wrong for the cards but I can't
see what it is.
If there's someone with either of these cards working out there, would you
send me some e-mail so I can ask you a few questions? Thanks much in

Date: Fri, 12 Mar 1999 23:34:03 GMT
You "may" need to install dhcpcd-0.70-2.i386.rpm and type: "dhcpcd -h
"computer name".
I had to install this update because @Home uses the computer name
"CRxxxxxx-A" they assign to you for obtaining DHCP information/setup.
In RH 5.1 Control Panel, select Network Configuration, Names tab, type
in your computer name in the Hostname field, and your Nameservers.
Select Interfaces tab, highlight eth0, edit, change Interface
configuration protocol to dhcp. SAVE. Restart your network.
If you get a failed message don't worry about it.
Type dhcpcd -h "computer name" and wait a couple minutes, then type
"ifconfig". All interface should come up with IP addresses.
If it works and you want to avoid the "failed" messages
edit:/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup and
look for a line (105 for me) /sbin/dhcpcd -c
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifdhcpc-done ${DEVICE}
change it to /sbin.dhcpcd -h "computer name" -c
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts,...etc
Hope this helps

It is not too bad, but the large numbers of protocols that can
be handled by the IOS software makes the syntax a bit cumbersome.
To start simple: you build acces-lists with rules that permit
or deny certain types of packet, and then you apply the access-lists
to an interface.
If you give an example of what needs to be filtered i can walk you
through. What IOS version have you got ? -job

The file /etc/inittab configures the init process - the process that is the
parent of everything else that happens on your Linux box. If you mess up
inittab, you can make your system both unusable and unbootable.
I have a RedHat System. When your system starts up, it starts the file thats in
/etc/rc.d directories. /etc/rc.d/rc3.d is the normal run level directory. On
my system the files are kept in /etc/rc.d/init.d then their are link from rc3.d
directory to init.d.
They are executed in numeric order. Look there for examples.

This is quite simple. If you look at RFC 1179, it states that an LPD
