Mike, try setting the NE2000 on IRQ 3 and port 0x280, and see what
happens. Remember, you may have to boot into DOS to reconfigure that
card. And, change the lilo.conf to reflect the change to the NE20000.

Yup - activated it as you described. Now, sometimes it works, sometimes it

If it can help someone, here is what I did:
I modified the dialer script /etc/ppp/ppp-on-dialer:
#!/bin/sh

# This is part 2 of the ppp-on script. It will perform the connection

#
exec /usr/sbin/chat -v \

'' ATZ \
'OK-+++\c-OK' ATH0 \
TIMEOUT 60 \
OK 'ATDT'$TELEPHONE \

and the gave to pppd the following arguments
exec /usr/sbin/pppd -d debug lock modem crtscts /dev/modem 115200 \
defaultroute name $ACCOUNT remotename ppp0 ipparam ppp0 \
connect $DIALER_SCRIPT
same kind of things with xisp. I will also try other softwares.

You could look into WinGate. It's essentially a proxy
server for Windows and once upon a time about three years
ago I set it up for a local conservation group's Windows
network and it seemed to work OK. It didn't make the
Win95 box it ran on crash any more often than normal.
It was a simple, little program then. I checked out the
website recently (I forget what it is, use a search engine)
and it seems to have grown into a monster, i.e. a full-blown
firewall type piece of code. I say "monster" because using
Win95/98 as a configurable firewall rather than simply using
Wingate to hook up a handful of PCs to the net over one phone
line seems like a monstrous sin :)
Back then, you could use it for two machines (one as
the gateway, the other talking through it) for free,
though now that it's "grown up" this may not be true.
It works with any TCP/IP network, AFAIK.
Still...I have a Win98 PC, a Win95 laptop, and a
Linux box, and I'm NOT using WinGate to access
the internet via my DSL service.
I'm using the Linux box for that, because I know
it's reliable.
So ... get a proper modem for your Linux box and
due it right ASAP. :)

I'm 45, but I got hooked on computers at the age of
15 (PDP 8/S, any one else here ever use one?), my
first pseudo-compiler (OMSI Basic for the PDP-8) was
being used by paying customers when I was 17, and I
first used Unix when I was 20.
Now I freelance nature photography :) (and work
part-time as a compiler engineer and still love
computers, I just love lots of other things, too,
so am a semi-dropout from the industry).
Anyway, I only point out the stuff I did when I
was a kid to make it clear that it's not how old
(or young) you are, it's what you know and how
hard you're willing to work.

Read all about it, starting from the ip-masquerading resource
page:
http://www.tor.shaw.wave.ca/~ambrose/index.html
It includes information on configuring your linux firewall,
as well as Win95 etc clients (which is no different than
you would for any other network with a gateway at a fixed
IP). I just set the primary and secondary DNS servers on
my windows boxes to be those of my ISP, and put names of
local boxes in the c:\windows\hosts file which is identical
to the /etc/hosts file on my linux box. Set the gateway
on the clients to 192.168.1.1 and you're off and running,
once you get masquerading working with ip chains (which I
haven't looked into as I'm running 2.0.36 which uses
ipfwadm, however I'm sure the principal's the same).

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

Subject: Modem Blues
Date: Fri, 12 Mar 1999 16:24:51 -0500
Hello, I'm having a problem with a couple of modems. The first I put in
my home system a few months ago. I couldn't get it to work with my PPP
script, and even sending it "echo ATDT ####### > /dev/ttyS#" commands,
never got me very far. The modem would kind of click, and then die.
But if I went into linuxconf and set it up, and told it to start from in
there, it worked fine. I figured I probably didn't know what I was
doing and gave up. Now I'm configuring my boss's pc to be a dial in
server for our network, and I'm getting the same thing. The modem won't
work for me. They both use standard Hayes commands, and the commands
work fine from DOS, but not Linux. Can somebody please tell me why
these echo commands won't work, but linuxconf will?
Thanks

Subject: IP Alias Acting Funny
Linux's IP Alias feature has me stumped. I've got a LAN with 2 hosts
and 1 Cisco bridge that gets me my DSL access. I use dhcp to get each
host a unique IP address so each host can talk to my ISP. To
communicate within the LAN, I assign each host a local IP address using
IP Aliasing. This has worked fine in the past and allowed me to use NFS
to share files and applications between systems.
Lately NFS became very slow and at times won't connect at all.
Specifically, Host A can ping Host B but turnaround time will be 1000ms
for about 50 pings and then suddenly drops to the usual 0.6ms and stays
there. Host B is able to ping Host A but has turnaround times of nearly
600ms Futhermore B can ping A only when A is concurrently pinging B.
If A stops pinging B, then B can no longer ping A.
I originally suspected a hardware error, but both hosts can ping IP
addresses outside the LAN with no problem. Am I losing my mind or is
something screwy here?
Sure would appreciate some pointers on where to look.
TIA
Tom

I've run Apache and PHP on boxes that *do* get hit enough to truely run out
of file handles, and given the amount of traffic it usually takes to kill
either of those two, I'd place the blame on Postgres.
On my FreeBSD box, I run the command `fstat` to see what processes have what
files open. Linux doesn't seem to have anything by that name in the RedHat
distribution. It's a member of the `vmstat`, `netstat`, `systat` family,
there's probably a port somewhere.
Try searching google for it (http://www.google.com).

Might be the encryption, yes works for NT. Are all your MS machines on
the same network and the 95 machines can login but the NT machines
cannot?
