Subject: another 2.2.3 network performance issue
Date: 15 Mar 1999 23:48:47 GMT
Very weird network perfomance problems with 2.2.3 (ppp over V90 modem):
when I first saw it, I was absolutely sure it's a modem problem -
the modem kept connecting at 48000 or slightly more (which is normal)
but ping itime dropped to 320 ms (instead of 100ms) and regular
network transfers (netscape etc...) was even worse !!!
When I rebooted with 2.2.2 - everything was back to normal !!!
P.S. I compiled 2.2.3 with identical options...
What the heck can it be ???

Did you read /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes ? It list alot of
packages that you'll need to upgrade to use 2.2 and above. One package
it doesn't list is DHCP but you do need to upgrade that as well. The
primary web site for dhcp-1.3 is http://www.phystech.com/download/ .
Good Luck!

Hi to all
Can anyone tell me something about this card? Genius GF100TXM
Is it supported by linux? In that case, which driver does
it use? (i've read that it has a MX chip)
I've not been able to find any info about it on the web
page of Genius, so i would appreciate any adress where
i can find info about it.
Thanks in advance

I see you set up a default route in netcfg but it doesn't appear in your
route command output. Try 'route add default gw 24.2.12.1', if that
doesn't work see if you can ping your gateway.

Is it possible to have IPX Masquerading, like IP Masquerading?
If so, where could I get the information on how to set this up?
I am using RedHat 5.1.

Subject: ipchains problem
Date: Mon, 15 Mar 1999 14:13:47 -0700
I installed my kernel 2.2.3 and got the IP forwarding going. I compiled the
kernel on a different box than the my actual router. According to the
ipchains how-to, if I have /proc/net/ip_chains, which I do then I should be
ready to setup my firewall. However I can't find anywhere the actual tool,
ipchains!
What am I missing? Do I need install the tool from some download? If I
have to compile something can I do it on another system and transfer it over
to the firewall.

Most of the ADSL providers say this. The limitation is rarely technical,
although there may be some concern on their part about rogue DHCP/DNS
servers messing up their network. More often than not, the Win/Mac-only
mentality is simply due to their limited customer-support budget. They
don't want to place themselves in a situation where they have to answer
tough support questions.

My ADSL is physically connected to only one machine, which is a dual-NIC
machine running a Linux IP Masquerading firewall. My ISP allows multiple
IP addresses but I wanted to stick to non-routable addresses on the
private side to enhance security.

Myabe you'll have to recompile your kernel( it's widely described in HOWTO's
and Linux books ). And this is what I've found in Ethernet-HOWTO:
5.15.1. DE-100, DE-200, DE-220-T, DE-250
Status -- Supported
Some of the early D-Link cards didn't have the 0x57 PROM signature,
but the ne2000 driver knows about them. For the software configurable
cards, you can get the config program from www.dlink.com. The DE2**
cards were the most widely reported as having the spurious transfer
address mismatch errors with early versions of linux. Note that there
are also cards from Digital (DEC) that are also named DE100 and DE200,
but the similarity stops there.

I am building a system of Linux machines for a local school to run on donated

Basically I need to interface with the VAX across the network using telnet or
something similar, which in itself is easy, but I'm having difficulty getting
VT320 terminal emulation. Does anyone know of a VT320 terminal emulator for
Linux or a good method of emulating VT320? Setting TERM=vt320 does not work,

You very likely have a default route to your LAN. You don't need this
unless you need to send outside the LAN, a network route will do just
fine. Remove the LAN default route and pppd will make a default route
to the PPP interface, provided you've used the pppd option "defaultroute".

Try using 'directory mode = 0777' in your smb.conf file for that share. Works
the same as 'create mode' but for directories. Hope this helps,

Well can you tell me how you got it working?
I've done everything I can think of. Installed a fresh version of Redhat
5.2. Compiled a new 2.2.3 kernel, set up the networking perfectly (?) and
ran the ipchains commands.
It worked once. First time after rebooting with new kernel. Had it working
straight for 3 days then needed to reboot. Since then it's been dead!!!
Here's my script for starting IP MASQ using ip chains...
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
/sbin/ipchains -P forward DENY
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.1.0 MASQ

By your own admission, it is a fact though. Linux is so unfriendly that
if its ever to become a 'standard' it will have to be useable by the
computer 'illiterate' and from what I've seen of the latest offering
from RH its certainly not that. As someone mentioned in another thread,
to find the faq's you need to know where they are, and how to read them.
the MAN pages are almost unreadable, full of information but in an
obtuse style. and there is no mention of how to use the MAN pages in the
installation docs. You are told not to use the root account, but try
shutting down the system from any account but root without first
understanding the 'permissions' and changing them, which requires an
understanding of chmod, and thats when you eventually realise that you
have to shutdown rather than turn off the machine, after re-installing
the damn software five times due to turning off rather than shutting
down.
Where is there a description of CHMOD, SHUTDOWN, MAN, NEWUSER, LS or any
other program in the installation docs. and to read the online docs you
need to know how to access them.. chicken and egg ;-(

Date: Mon, 15 Mar 1999 17:30:56 -0500
Hi,
Thanks to both of you for the your replies, but I have found out that the
problem lies somewhere else.
As mentioned by Edward I downloaded the dhcpcd update and installed it and
ran it. I still got the DHCP failed error and ifconfig eth0 told me that no
IP address was confiugred for that.
The problem is with warm booting the machine from WinNT. i found this out
from the nasa website where Donald becker keeps the drivers.
If machine is cold booted (reset button or switching it off then on) DHCP
successfully leases an address and configures the eth0 (even without -h
option).
If the machine is warm booted from WinNT (Shutdown and restart or
CTRL+ALT+DEL after shutdown) then DHCP fails on booting Linux.
This could happen even if the other OS is Win95 OSR2/Win98.
Would appreciate if anybody knows why this could happen.

Hi Mark,
You should check your workgroup option in smb.conf and make sure that you
are using the same 'workgroup' name as you are in your windows network
settings.

Subject: Cardbus ethernet ActionTec FastNet PRO 10/100
Date: Mon, 15 Mar 1999 19:14:49 -0700
I have an ActionTec FastNet PRO 10/100 CardBus on a Mitac 5033T: with
some imagination, I guessed that it features a DEC 21143 chipset, so it
can be drived with the 'tulip_cb' driver under Linux.
I'm using linux-2.2.3 on AMD K6-2/333.
This card is recognized and powered on but in a couple of seconds
starts emitting messages like that:
eth0: 21140 transmit timed out, status f0120000, SIA 000000c6 ffff0001
fffbff7f 8ff50000, resetting...
eth0: transmit timed out, switching to 10baseT media.
It continues with these messages until I stop the pcmcia service at
all.
I had compiled the latest tulip driver 0.9 as a module for CardBus but
it does not work.
Does anybody knows how to fix the problem of media recognition? It is
some other problem behind that?
