Subject: Whats SIOCADDRT when its at home?
Hello,
I'm running RH5.2 with a 3com 905b Ethernet card in it, and my
networking isn't working. It use to until..... I added a SCSI card and
had to re-install the OS for various reasons.
Anyway,
We have a class C IP network, and I would like to access other machines
on this network. When I ping 192.100.200.117 (one of our machines) it
tells me that the network is un-reachable. Ha-ha says I. I need to add
a route into the routing table, which is what I try to do, by using
"route add -net 192.100.200.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0". It then
fails and informs me that SIOCADDRT : operation nos supported by this
device.
What does this mean and how can I resolve this.
Many thanks in advance, Martin P

Subject: Network locking
Date: Fri, 19 Mar 1999 13:10:38 GMT
I run 2 Linux machines at work... both run kernel 2.2.3. One's an old 486
SCSI system, the other is a PII 350 IDE system. Both have 3com ethernet
cards.
When I mount a share from the 486 machine on a SUN machine, I get the warning
"WARNING: No network locking on usmbrd02:/remote_data: contact admin to
install server change"
I do not get this warning when I mount a share from the PII box.
Strangely, however, it's the PII box that I'm having trouble with. An
application I'm testing is unable to use the PII machine to store remote
data. It complains that it can't write one of the files it needs to write.
(I can cd to that share, though, and create whatever I want - it has 777
perms) This same application has no trouble writing to the 486 (the one that
produces the warning).
So, I'm guessing I compiled something in the PII's kernel, but not in the
486's. I cannot figure out what.
Additionally, the PII box automounts home directories on a SUN machine. I
always get this in the Linux syslog: Mar 16 09:06:37 usmblx01 kernel: lockd:
failed to monitor 137.199.57.6 (the IP addres of the SUN machine where the
home dirs live).
So, I'm hoping someone can explain what network locking is, and if it is
related to lockd (I found no module or daemon on my machine named lockd).
Thanks for your time!

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi,
I have a linux RH5.2 with 2 token ring (Token ring auto 16/4) (Linux
version 2.0.36 ).
Both are IBM Auto 16/4, configured:
TR0: IRQ: 9, I/O: A20
TR1: IRQ: 3, I/O: A24
The two card seems to run properly alone but I am not able to create a
gateway (with two token ring adapter running at the same time).
Does linux supports two token ring 16/4 token ring adapter (gateway
configuration) ? if yes, how can I configure linux to do it ?
Thanks in advance,
Efrem.

Hi,
there could be AFAIK two reason�s for the message 'Can not open device'.
Either your device is locked by an other application, or faxgetty has
no permission on /dev/xxx.
The first problem so be easy to fix.
In the second case you have to check out as who faxgetty runs. (Test out
"ps axu".) Set the correct permissions of the used device for that user.
E.g.: User : fax
permission for /dev/modem : crw-rw----
This should help you

The driver you want is called depca and it is indeed supported by Linux.
I remember seeing the driver in RedHat v3.03 ! (try modprobe depca)
Be aware that DE200's were designed primarily with a 386 in mind and
while they will work with low end 486's they will be kinda slow compared
to it's newer brothers the DE203/4 or 5 (Etherworks 3 Turbo). They are
also a pain in the butt as they can only be configured via the switches
on the NIC itself.
Other than that they are a good card that shouldn't give you any
troubles *8-)

Subject: snmptrap args
Date: Fri, 19 Mar 1999 17:06:24 GMT
I'm having a hell of a time sending a simple trap to our NMS from our Linux
box. We just need simple traps such as generic trap # and specific trap #.
On our SCO and previous UNIX platforms all we had to specify was the IP
address to the NMS and our trap types. The man for the new snmptrap lists:
snmptrap -v 1 [common arguments] enterprise-oid agent
generic-trap specific-trap uptime [objectID type value]...
I have no idea what values to use for enterprise-oid and agent. We have a
packet trace of our previous platform's traps which contain an oid of
1.3.6.1.4.1...(some more numbers) but I can't get that to work and have no
idea why it has to be specified anyway. I basically just need to open a
socket to the NMS on the appropriate port and send an appropriate packet
right?
As should be obvious, I know virtually nothing about SNMP including oids.
Could someone send me an snmptrap example? How about one that sends a generic
trap (6), specific trap (1) to IP host 10.10.10.10? The example in the
snmptrap man page makes no sense to me and seems even to violate their own
syntax chart.

All that is needed to get to the dial up user is an address of the service
provider's modem that the user called in on!
This is obviously not unique to an individual.
The IP address he gets when he logs in is also out of a pool of addresses
and is also non-unique.

Only if it is running on an Apple/Mac!
Any here I thought that a MAC address was a special address book that Billy-bum

true. but. MAC addresses on your modem go no further than your isp.
in fact, your isp doesn't even use your modems mac address because you
are assigned an ip addres that already has the mac address of the
modem you connected to so yours never goes out into the net.
your network also has a mac address. this address is used only by
your local network. I machine on a different network send you info,
they only know the ip address, this is send to the router the router
only know the mac address and ip address in your local network. If it
cannot find the destination, it forwards it the the next router which
again only know the mac address and ip address if its local network.
it does on the otherhand know which router to send it to based on ip
routing tables. this process is repeated until it finds the router
that knows the destination ip address and sends it to the isp's router
which then looks up the mac address and places the ip packet on th
ethernet with the destination ip and mac address only knowing the
source ip not mac. mac addresses are NOT forwareded accross even
subnets.
and just to show off, ISP equipment like an ascend or 3com total
control that has 48 modems, all 48 modems have the SAME mac address.
the modem server knows which modem to send it out on based on ip
address.
