I was wondering . How do you look up the routering tables in win 98?? Or con
you do it? Because I have the exact same problem . I have a box running Red
Hat 5.1 networked to another box via a cross over cable to a 98 box. I can't
get ether to ping each other?
Idea's any one ? or is there like a HOWTO on this ?

With all the distributions that I have installed (Redhat 4.2,5.0,5.2,
Slakware) Telnet is enabled and installed by default. If you can ping your
Linux box from your 98 box then you should be able to Telnet to it. Just
run Telnet.exe from you 98 machine. Then put the IP of your Linux box in
and you should be good to go. remember you should create another user
account other than ROOT. By default you cannot login as ROOT using telnet.
I hope I didn't confuse you!

Hello
Does anybody knows how to make olicom gocard OC2220 pcmcia
work under linux. I can not get information from the company (chips...) and
tried all built in drivers.
Is there a list of generic drivers to try(Intel, 3com,rockwel...).
I am using Redhat 5.2 (Apollo) on my laptop.
My pcmcia rockwel based modem works fine.
Both cards work fine under Windows 98 (and 95)
Thanks

Hi,
I downloaded tarball pcmcia-cs-3.0.9. Untarred it in /usr/src per the
readme file. However, when I ran make config (first step), it cannot
find /usr/src/linux. Where is it?
What do I need to compile this?
Redhat does not have support for 3com 3CCFE757BT and any hints, work
around, suggestions to make this card work will be much appreciated.
The current pcmcia-how-to did not address this problem.

Date: Sun, 21 Mar 1999 18:19:18 GMT
Thanks for the help. This is my first time to ever use a newsgroup or forum,
so I hope I am doing this right.
A "Platform" is an offshore oil and gas drilling or production platform in the
ocean. This particular project is in the Bay of Campeche near the Mexican
Yucitan Peninsula. These things are generally massive structures but the
equipment I am referring to will all be in a small control room per each
platform. The platforms are indeed in a single line connected by bridges and
generally a 100 meters or so apart. That is why I am thinking about the Bus
configuration for the backbone. On this thought, I guess I will need a Hub of
the pass-through type instead of a central concentrator. Please expand on this
for me.
You make a good point about the ocean environment. I can see why UTP/RJ45 may
not be a good choice. All of the hardware is located inside the control room
in a controlled environment, i.e., air conditioned and humidity controlled.
The only components directly exposed to the elements of the humid salt air is
the fiber cable between platforms. I guess 10Base2 will be the logical choice
inside the buildings. Is the 10Base2 Hub considered "standard" equipment?
Thanks again for your help. Please reply.

Window's does it

How do I get Linux/pppd to find the nameserver address when it connects?
I have not seen any reference in the manpages or the howto's about this.
Most of these docs say I should put my nameserver address in
/etc/resolv.conf. Great! but I don't know what that address is. How does
a Windows session know this? It it running DHCP after ppp is

Can I compile it from /usr/src/linux-2.2.3/drivers/net/3c59x.c

Have you had any success using an ftp client on the Linux machine?
I'm able to browse the web, and get my e-mail, but when I attempt to
ftp some file, either from the command line or by just clicking on an
ftp URL. I get an error that says something like my security settings
won't let me access that port... Well, I don't get that error from
the command line, I just get time out.
I'm really, really new to Linux, 2 days, but I think this may be more
of a Wingate problem. I don't have any trouble ftp'ing from Windows
98 on the same machine. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

most Linux installers need 8-meg (minimum) to run. start with that,
then remove ram if you must. with the price of ram nowadays, its easier
to just put in a few more 1M or 4M sticks. Running off of swap will
cause unpredictable runtime delays, and wear out you disk before its
time.

Send a job from the win box. Use lpq on the linux box to verify that you are
getting a job in the queue. If you are not getting a job in the linux queue,
check your permissions, hosts files and or dns. On redhat 5.2 I just creat a
new lpd printer, restart smb and there it is. My winx boxes all print fine.
We have an nt domain so I set up samba to use it for authentication. We have
10 printers on linux and growing, as I am tired of restarting my nt spooler.

Subject: The splitting of bandwidth
Date: Sun, 21 Mar 1999 18:44:30 +0000
Hi there,
I've got a pure-curiosity question - how does Linux split the
available bandwidth of TCP/IP over a PPP connection?
And is there any way to manually split the bandiwidth?
I'm running a PPP connection on a 33.6 modem and I'd prefer
not to have one single program take up the _entire_ bandwidth!
Is there any way to do this?
Cheers,
Oliver B. Tupman

Is your ppp compiled to support shadow passwords? We use rh5.2 but disabled
shadow passwords as we wanted to use pam.smb. We are doing dialup for an nt
domain and it does work like a charm. The 95 boxes even run a login script.
I believe in our fumbling around that the 5.2 ppp supported shadow passwords,
but couldnt swear to it.

Subject: Linux as DHCPD and IP Masq'ing firewall?
Date: Sun, 21 Mar 1999 18:49:30 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi,
I've got a linux box (RH 5.2, currently kernel 2.2.1) running as a
DHCP server (V2.0b1pl18, with Dynamic DNS) for my small network at
home, (3-4 Win95, 1 NT4sp3). It's also running a CVS version of Samba,
to do some simple printer sharing.
What I want to do next is use the Linux box as a Masq'ing firewall for
the rest of the machines in the house, using PPP and dial-on-demand.
The only problem I have with this is getting the routing setup
properly, as the DHCP server people will know, for dhcpd to work
properly with Microsoft clients, I need to add the following route:
route add -host 255.255.255.255 dev eth0
In my mind, this also confuses the routing for internet bound traffic.
(My LAN uses 192.168.2.* for all IP addresses)
Any solutions/suggestions people ?
Many thanks,
McC
