It should be faster than 10bT, but probably on par with 100bT, unless
you have really good SCSI cards and cables. Going 100bT would be much
cheaper and much easier to set up.

===> this one says : "default route : to go to the world, pass thru my eth0
card", which has no meaning if you have have only two computers on your room
My conclusion is that, when you were installing Linux, you gave a default
route (you should have not) . First thing is to strip all explicit routes you
gave, until you get the following :
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.48.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 13 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 2 lo
and only that.
The 1st line means : "to go to the local netwrk, pass thru my eth0 card"
The 2nd line means : "to go to the pseudo-internal network (127.0.0.0), pass
thru my looopback (pseudo network) card lo = 127.0.0.1"
check by 'ifconfig -a'
if necessary, run 'ifconfig eth0 inet 192.168.48.1 netmask 0xFFFFFF00'
if RedHat, check the /etc/sysconfig/network* files

RPM and YaST like to do things the way the developer, or package builder,
thinks is best. That may or may not agree with my personal philosophy.
I'm suffering with YaST now, even though it gets in my way more
often than not, in order to try SuSE. Over the years I've developed
a system that organizes things into core services, optional products,
and stuff I add myself. And I like to localize the files so that
products are as self-contained as possible within a single directory
subtree. This makes it easier to backup, maintain, and track
the stuff on the system.
Every RPM package I've installed, however, seems to insist on putting
its binaries in either /bin or /usr/bin, the configuration files
in /etc, the library files in /lib or /usr/lib, log files in
/var/log, etc.
I don't like having a 2GB root partition. Having to backup/restore
that much data just to recover a crashed system is ridiculous. With
Slackware I had a 250MB root partition. It contained what I needed
to make the system run.
And if I want to remove/update a package now I have to go searching
all over the system for files. If I rolled my own I could put
support files, documentation files, config files, etc. all under
/usr/local/<product>, and I'd know right where to find them.
Sure, rpm is supposed to keep track of all that for me. But then
there's yet another tool/interface I HAVE to learn and remember.
So far it hasn't done a better job, or made it easier for someone
who knows what they're doing to do their job. It's just provided
a point-and-click WIMP interface for those who DON'T know what
they're doing yet.

Subject: Non-Winmodem problems! Help!
Date: Thu, 11 Mar 1999 18:14:25 GMT
Greetings: I recently purchased a non-WinModem 3Com/USR 56K modem that I am
trying to set up on my linux box. Currently, I have a 28.8K USR Sportster
internal modem, and that has been working splendidly without problems.
However, when I install and try to set up the 56K modem, diald (which I am
using for dial-up) fails to initialize the modem. I have tried setting up the
modem on /dev/cua0, /dev/cua1, & /dev/cua2, but have not had any luck. It
seems to me that the problem might be in the modem initialization string, but
I thought that these were all pretty much the same, especially for modems
made by the same manufacturer? Please, can anyone help?? Thanks!!

Check the Linux laptop page to see if this card is supported under Linux
(http://hyper.stanford.edu/~dhinds/pcmcia/ftp/SUPPORTED.CARDS).
1. Find out if your card manager is actually started at boot time and if
so
2. is it being detected by the card manager.
(1. "ps aux | grep card" and 2. "dmesg | more")
You may have to get the latest pcmcia sources and compile them for your
kernel if it is not detected.

I'm not sure how you are going to help this situation unless the
data is cachable. If it is, you can generate appropriate
Expires: and/or Cache-control: headers on the initial output and
insert caching proxies either ahead of or behind the load balancers.
If you want other people's caches to help out as well you may need
to make sure that the URL's don't include /cgi-bin/ or ?. Squid
running in accel mode is very fast at delivering cached pages and
needs next-to nothing in the way of configuration to make it do
the right thing.

Do you have IP forwarding enabled?
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward should return 1
if it doesnt, then echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
If /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward doesnt exist, recompile your kernel
with the IP_FORWARDING option enabled.

Subject: Modem: no luck w/simple AT cmd
Date: 11 Mar 1999 19:33:42 GMT
I'm running RH5.2 on 486/66. There is one serial port on back of
machine which I am using for my mouse. It is mapped to /dev/ttyS1
(COM2) and is IRQ 3. I am installing a Gateway (USR) Telepath 550
14400 internal ISA modem with jumpers configured for IRQ4, COM1. My
BIOS does not provide access to serial port info (enabling/disabling)
so I assume I can use this port. It's a SystemSoft BIOS and the PC is
a VTech.
My problem is that I've followed all of the instructions I've found in
the modem manual, PPP HOWTO, and serial HOWTO to simply issue an AT
command to talk to this modem and I have no luck. Nothing shows up on
the screen when I type and nothing shows up from the modem in
response. It feels like I'm talking to a wall. I have used both
Kermit and minicom, setting it to look for the modem at /dev/ttyS0, to
no avail. In Kermit I've tried setting modem type to both usrobotics
and telepath. I'm running them as root so permissions shouldn't be
the problem. I've run setserial on the port and it reports a 16450
UART and the address and IRQ look fine. Neither Kermit or minicom
complained when initializing/connecting to the modem. I've looked at
/proc/interrupts before and during the modem programs. Before nothing
was shown for IRQ 4, during it showed activity for this interrupt.
Once I typed something and got a dialtone and some activity on the
line which I heard from the speaker on the modem but I typed another
key and it stopped. I had some hope for a second but I could not
repeat it. And once I got "trapped" in Kermit while connected to the
modem and could not issue the escape sequence to get out to the Kermit
prompt. I did Ctrl-z to suspend, and when I typed 'fg' to return, I
saw an "OK" as if the modem had replied. This too happened only once.
I am wondering if the modem takes forever to reply, but why wouldn't
my commands show up? At this point in the installation, does it even
matter what the modem's settings are? I tried 'stty <the string to
enable CTS/RTS HW flow control> < /dev/ttyS0' but this changed
nothing. My modem has all dip switches in default locations. Next
I'll try a different COM port/IRQ (I suppose I could use 5...) but I
don't know what's going on with my current config. Is the modem
toast? I've tried swapping ISA slots.
Thanks--

Subject: Basic Samba configuration problem
Date: Wed, 10 Mar 1999 10:43:39 -0600
Hi there,
I have the smallest network of two machines: Win 95 OSR2 and Linux RH 5.2
with 2.2.2 kernel running together with all required updates (including
Samba 2.0.3). I have them connected using a crossover twisted-pair cable.
The machines see one another. I can ping from both machines.
I noticed that, after configuring the network card on my Linux box, my boot
process now stalls for a long time at two points. The sendmail daemon takes
about a minute to start, and the smbd takes even longer. Samba actually
seems to time out. Now, the smbd got configured to start from my original
RH5.2 installation, even though I did not have a network card then (I am not
sure why). Before I put the network card in my Linux box this did not cause
any problems.
Now I would like to actually try to use Samba. I looked at the
/etc/smb.conf file which got installed originally (I think) and tried to
check it with testparm Samba utility. It never gets beyond prining "loading
the configuration file" or something similar. I tried to make a very small
configuration file with just a few lines in it, but the testparm never seems
to do anything. It just sits there hanging even with an empty configuration
file.
I have a feeling that I am missing something very basic, but I cannot put my
finger on it. Any insight/help will be appreciated

Hello all,
I configured ppp using KPPP for 2 separate connections, 1 for my ISP & 1 for
work. When I dial in to work I have no problems, can ping, ftp & access Web
pages through their firewall. When I dial in to my ISP, I can ping my ISP's
home page (or any other page), & I can ftp with no problem. But when I use
my browser (Netscape) I get the following:
contacting www.whatever.com
www.whatever.com contacted, waiting for reply.
Then it just sits there & spins.
I'm pretty sure the DNS setting is OK since I can ping by web address & I
also get the above problem using IP addresses in the browser. From what I
understand, KPPP temporarily writes into the resolv.conf file, so I don't
think my problem lies there.
Also, I put in an ftp address in the netscape location bar & that works OK.
Again I use the same setup for work & everything works fine.
Any sugestions?
Thanks,
Doug

Subject: DialUp Networking & Viking Modem
Hello! I am a Linux newbie. Long on linux enthusiasm and short on
knowledge.
I installed a new Viking ISA 56K PnP internal modem. After pnptools,
Linux does recognize the modem.
I use minicom to dial into my ISP. I configured minicom myself. I can
dialout at least I think so. After establishing
connection with my ISP, I get a login prompt. I type in the ISP username
& password then I get a prompt
for "Login/Network User:". When I type "Network" I get this string of
char then after about 30 sec "No Carrier" message and the onnection
terminates.
What am I missing. Why the login prompt when already gave that info in
minicom?
How can I get the connection? What else to do?
Here is the snapshot of the modem dial out transaction;

Dale, or other gurus. I'm in a similar boat. I'm not sure I
understand your last bit; mail2news threads pretty well (what it
keeps, anyway) for me. I put INN up to gate some very high volume
mailing lists using the same? mail2news.pl (found in the mail2news
mini HOW-TO). I'm running 1.7.2 and I cannot say I understand INN
thoroughly.
So, should I upgrade to 2.2?
I have this problem which is probably my poor configuration but I
cannot find any help on log files to decypher where I went wrong. I
get dozens of these messages a day:

Advice, comments--thanks in advance!

If you are using RedHat5.2 your login and password might be found in that
ever popular location:
