sending email isn't a crime but I don't want just anybody rifling through
it, nobody I know wants 'authorities' peeping into their mail. Browsing
pornography isn't a crime but nobody I know want 'authorities' to make it
their business to monitor someone's browsing activities. Actually screwing
my wife isn't a crime but we don't want the 'authorities' to have a camera
in our bedroom.

Hi,
I am trying to install my 3com 3c575 10/100 Mbps on my laptop
toshiba 460 cdt. It is a cardbus .
I installed the pcmcia package and compiled it accordingly to
the PCMCIA-HOWTO. The install and compilation went fine. No error
message. Sorry for the length of this message.
I still have some glitches.
First here is what I can see in /var/adm/messages

First about "cs: IO port probe 0x0100-0x03ff: excluding 0x330-0x337".
In windows, the card seems to use address 0x400-0x47f. Are we talking
the same thing here ?
Do I need in this case to exclude this range of addresses in some of
the opts file?
Then , there are those 2 lines:

Date: Fri, 19 Mar 1999 18:44:14 GMT
I've tried REDHAT and Slackware, and while setup of a "pretty" Linux system
is the goal of Redhat, try compiling a new kernel. You can't, even if you
tell it in the install to load all of what you think you need. They seem to
want you to use a "stock" kernel, kinda like the blue sky and white clouds
people. Do it their way. The system setup stuff in /etc/rc.d is a laugh. Try
to customize anything, it's tough, get ready to spend time with grep looking
for where stuff is.
Slackware sets up almost as easily, and installs the kernel source. But in
every case with Slackware, I've tried to install Xserver, and always been
very disappointed. But, I don't use a gui, so that's not a problem. Want to
customize startup in /etc/rc.d no problem in Slackware, most of the rc.xxx
files are obvious, and are not links to somewhere else. It's all right
there. Change IP address, edit rc.inet1, in Redhat...not sure where the hell
it is, they almost force you to do that from the gui.
But the Win9x look-alike window manager is kinds neat looking. Very similar
to fvwm95...

Try telnetting from the linux box to add. 127.0.0.1 110 do you see anything?
If so try doing it at the ip address of the nic.
If this goes fine try doing it from a workstation if that goes fine try doing it
from a workstation with the hostname.
What doesn't work??? Root can't use pop incase of security!

Subject: connection but can't ping
Date: 18 Mar 1999 16:57:35 GMT
Hello, i have a problem with my internet connection on my RedHat Linux 5.1
box. This is the problem: i can't ping any address(IP or symbolic) not even
my DNS server. I looked for the answer in PPP-HOWTO, PPP-TIPS, RedHat
PPP-maillist, but I can't find it.
This is how I connect:
minicom
atdt<ISP#>
<USER>
<PASS>
<CHOOSE PPP>
<alt q>
pppd -d -detach /dev/ttyS1 115200 &
route -n looks fine (compared with the PPP-HOWTO, except instead of
"default" there was 0.0.0.0)
ifconfig looks good (almost the same as in the PPP-HOWTO)
BUT, when I order "ping <DNS>", the only thing replied is the first line
and that's it. When I press ctl-c it says "14 sent packets 0 recieved 100%
lost".
resolv.conf:
search
nameserver <DNS>
nameserver <DNS2>
host.conf:
same as in PPP-HOWTO
My questions are:
- in what file are things logged(pppd)?
- does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thank you for your help.

I give stuff on the local 192.168 nets a single name, make sure it is in its

Sendmail, configured as you have it will choke if it can't resolve its own
hostname. Somehow.

Subject: Cablem Modem Questions
Date: Fri, 19 Mar 1999 13:57:05 -0500
I have RH 5.1 running 2.2.2
I have IP MASQ running with firewalling.
It works great for a ppp connection.
Our local provider offers a cable modem.
Hybrid model.
I believe they are using DHCP.
Now, do I have to install a second ethernet card?
(One for the cable modem and one for internal network.)
If so, should I use a DCHP client on the second one.
I basically what to remove the ppp0 and replace it with a cable modem.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
