thanks for a reply
tried telneting to local host and same results says connected to host and
then connection closed i am really baffled as i have seen everything i can
think of.. much like raymond said services shows it listed only possible
cause i can think of is in its inetd.conf file its listing /usr/sbin/tcpd as
server and argument is ipop3d and i dont see ipop3d anywhere on system can
this be the problem?
thanks still needing a pointer badly

I don't know about 'all', but so far, I've connected to six different
ISPs here in Paris, and two in the United Kingdom.
I imagine that if Windows can connect, then Linux will be able to, as

I am trying to get my ethernet card working with Roadrunner cable modem
service. This is setup as far as I'm concerned since that's all I use Linux
for. I disabled the PNP but DHCP still fails and the kernel doesn't see the
card. I matched up the win98 settings. Don't know what else to try. I did
get sound working so I deserve some credit. Ths iis way too hard and Linux
has a long way to go but I know this can work. It's an ISA card and I set it
up for ISA instead of PCI PNP. Any ideas?

I have a two node home network. One Win95 and one Linux machine. I
installed network to allow me to share the new laser printer that I just
bought. (It's connected to the Win95 machine).
I can print to the laser from Linux or Win95. I have ipfwadm installed
as well as diald and can connect to my ISP from the Linux machine.
My Win95 computer has a modem and I would like to continue using it for
connecting to the ISP from windows. However, whenever I try to connect,
it starts dial-up networking on Windows but diald also tries to connect.
Since they are both using the same phone line, it causes problems.
I have tried setting Win95 to connect using the Lan, but then it times
out before diald can connect.
Anyway, if you can help with this, let me know and I'll e-mail you any
config files that you need.
I'm very new to this and am having difficulty getting all of this
working (It's taken me two weeks to get as far as I have)
Thanks in advance,

Bzzzzzztt!
Sorry, not true. There are some M$-centric sites using NT
that use the M$ "enhanced" PAP authentication protocol that
uses an encrypted login/password that Linux did not (at the
time, and I suspect it to be true still) support.
OK, the ISP would need to turn on ONE checkmark in the NT
authentication server's setup (that is, by default, off)
that enables recognition of the *standard* PAP authentication
mechanism (the standard protocol is _not_ the default...).
My first ISP was unwilling to do this. Needless to say, I
went to an ISP that was more cooperative.
I was even able to use the IBM Global Network w/ Linux, which
means I can (with that account) dial in to the InterNet locally
damn near anywhere in the world... (Of course, now we hear
that AT&T is buying them...)
I currently use a cable modem w/ Linux but it won't follow me
on trips- and, when travelling, it's nice not to have to make
a long distance call to get/receive one's e-mail...

It's not a script, it's a daemon. And yes, it does enable dial-on-demand
with PPP. It works by creating a "proxy" device which acts as a default
route and when it sees traffic through it it opens the line and reroutes
the traffic, so it's really transparent - It's like you had a permanent
Internet connection if you don't take account on the delay opening the
line causes. It has a filter file where you can configure each service the
way you wish: If it opens the line, if it makes the line to stay open, how
long the line should stay open after it etc.. Go download it and read the
docs.

It *should* give you non authoritative responses on every nslookup unless
you query your own subnet to which it acts as a primary nameserver. If you
get those for your own machines too then you do have a misconfiguration.
Non authoritative response only means that your server is not the primary
server for that domain.

Firewalls generally don't allow arbitrary incoming connections. You
didn't say what kind of a FW you had. If it's a simple packet filter
you can usually do "something" with the FW to open port 25 for
mail. If it's a proxy or NAT/IP Masq based firewall there are other
options that can do the same thing. There is a mail proxy specifically
for this called SMAP in the tis firewall toolkit. I've never used it
though. My IP Masq firewall uses ipportfw to open the incoming mail
port. This is Linux IP Masq specific.

: school's library, grading, etc. systems. Perhaps there is a way to emulate
: the keyboard or load another key map? I have found surprisingly few
: commercial VT320 emulation packages too, though that would work if one
: existed.
:
There are several aspects to VT terminal emulation:
1. To format the screen according to the incoming escape sequences (and to
perform other escape-sequence driven operations, like printing, sending
reports to the host, etc).
2. To map the PC keyboard to the VT terminal keyboard and then send what
the PC keys would have sent.
3. To transmit and receive data to/from the host.
On PC operating systems like DOS and Windows, these functions are handled by
the same program (such as MS-DOS Kermit or Kermit 95). In UNIX (including
Linux), however, items 1 and 2 are handled by your console driver or terminal
window; item 3 is handled by a communication program like C-Kermit, cu, telnet,
rlogin, etc (Kermit combines the functions of cu, telnet, and rlogin and adds
scripting, file transfer, and character-set translation).
Most PC UNIX console drivers are "ANSI" rather than VT. Most xterm windows
are VT100 rather than VT220 or higher. Both ANSI and VT100 lack the keys
of the VT220 / 320.
However it is not clear that your VMS application needs them. Most VMS
applications support any VT terminal, VT100 or higher, and sometimes also
lower (VT52, VT50, etc, not to mention hardcopy terminals like LA34, LA36).
Most VMS systems send a "what are you?" escape sequence when you log in to
find out your terminal type. In case this didn't happen, you can also use
SET TERMINAL /DEVICE=blah to tell it what kind you actually have.
Note that VT100 and higher have PF1-4 keys. VT220 adds a bunch of other
keys (F keys, editing keys, etc).
A VT220 xterm is available from:

Had the same problem...
It's reverse DNS. Make sure your reverse DNS zones are set up properly.
You will also notice a delay in sending mail if you are using sendmail.
Try nslookup <hostname> then nslookup <ip address> both should return same
info.
Good luck... It does work.

I am glad to know that you are still going along with me !
Up to now, I'd tried the method by adding append="linux eth0=0x300, 9" to
the file /etc/lilo.conf.
I did lilo -v, too.
But the kernel still cannot detect it.
