Not a hub! A switch... The entire point is that with a flat network
<with a hub> after 100 meters, it takes too long to travel to reliably not
have collisions. As you push the spec, the collisions go WAY up. It is
simply a speed-of-light-on-a-shared-medium thing. :-) Just put a cheap
switch in one, or more houses, and daisy chain off that. If you are project
oriented, a small Linux box with two NICs can be a switch. Read the
bridging howto. Not cheaper, but way cool. :-)

I installed RH5.2 and it found my two 905 cards right off the bat. I then
proceded to download the 2.2.4 kernel and recompiled it using the latest
3c59x.c from Donald Becker. Now, when I reboot the machine, I get a message
stating Delaying eth0 Initialization. When I do the ifconfig, neither eth0
nor eth1 appear.
If anybody would have any suggestions, I would apprecaite it greatly.

I can see nothing wrong with any of this. Netmasks of 255.255.255.255
are somewhat unusual as is haveing the same IP address on two ethernet
cards. Neither is, however, wrong.
Please let use one step closer to the real info. Show us the actual
"ifconfig -n" and "route -n" output rather than the config files.
Appart from anything else a SuSE "route.conf" file is not goint to

Date: Fri, 26 Mar 1999 20:35:03 +0100
Hi,
we use a set xterminals (pc's running linux). These terminals
use kernel 2.2.4 with ip autoconfiguration (ip kernel level
autoconfiguration & bootp support). With the standard bootpd (both
bootpd and dhcpd (isc 2.0b1pl18) on a linux machine) the terminals
correcly set up there hostnames with dhcpd not. All other options
transfered correctly.
The /etc/dhcpd.conf:
server-identifier s5.stud.uni-goettingen.de;
option domain-name "stud.uni-goettingen.de";
filename "bootimg";
subnet 134.76.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 {
option domain-name-servers 134.76.24.1, 134.76.10.46;
option netbios-name-servers 134.76.63.252;
option routers 134.76.98.254;
option broadcast-address 134.76.255.255;
option root-path "/boot/root";
}
host hotterm01 {
hardware ethernet 00:00:B4:9C:09:BC;
option host-name "hotterm01";
fixed-address 134.76.189.71; }
host ...
I tried without the "option host-name" line and provided the FQDN in
this line too ...
Does anybody know how to configure the kernel or dhcpd to work correctly
together?
Thanks,
Dirk

I'm getting no threading at all from mail2news.pl, it merely gathers
the messages the correct subjects. I normally use knews, and its
thread map works for regular news, but gated mailing lists are just
stacked up under a subject. Nor have I been able to post back to a

If I understand you correctly, you are suggesting that I down the network
and bring it back up again? I've tried downing/restarting: the
masquerading, the firewall, networking, and the box as a whole. Soon
thereafter, under light loads, I will again start getting the message an
masquerading will fail.
FYI, the load looks like the following (if you believe lsmod):
ip_masq_vdolive 1 0
ip_masq_raudio 1 0
ip_masq_quake 1 0
ip_masq_irc 1 0
ip_masq_ftp 1 89
ip_masq_cuseeme 1 0
3c59x 4 2 (autoclean)
memstat 1 0
dummy0 1 1 (autoclean)
I've tried not installing ip_masq_ftp, but this doesn't seem to help,
either. FWIW, there do not seem to be enough ftp connections to warrent a
usage of 89 (No connections, that I can find using tcpdump)
Any other suggestions? Thanks,
Brian

This means that the bianry is looking for a dynamic linker you don't have.

No, it'll be the dynamic linker version. You probably need glibc2 and
the associated dynamic linker.

Subject: PPP connection speed? Why is win 95 faster?
Date: Tue, 23 Mar 1999 19:04:51 GMT
I've finally got my connection up and running last night. I was wondering
why my connection seems to be MUCH slower than when I'm connected using win
95? I've set the baud rate up to the max but it's still slower than win 95.
Is there a way to actually check the transfer rate? And do I need to do
something else that I'm not? FYI, I'm using a 56kbps modem, and use to be
able to connect at around 40k when using win 95.
Thanks in advance for any help....

you could use some kind of Coax, but then you would need a hub that

distance of 185 meters or something. BUT coax isnt exactly the most

If there are houses inbetween the farthest house and yours, you could
put in another hub in one of the middle houses, to boost the signal.
Fiber would be good, but more expensive.

Dude,
100m is the farthest your gonna get, if your lucky you might be able to
kick it out to 115m. Put a repeater down the line from your house.

You people are taking the piss aren't you?
I post saying that 4 times in a day must be a record even for this
question, so what happens the next day? Even more instances of the
same question.
Please everyone stop asking this bloody question! Just read the
answers to the last couple of hundred instances.

No prob at the Linux end; you can set a /dev/ttys* or /dev/cua*
to be a full-time PPP connection. The box at the other end of
the cable may be another story; offhand I don't know if you can
bind "dial-up networking" to a non-modem serial port. (Maybe;
the "modem drivers" are all text settings for normal modems.)
OTOH, why try? Two ISA 10BaseT cards and some coax will cost you
less than $30 any more, and then you can ABSOLUTELY do this and
several other useful things as well.

Subject: SAMBA - Now there are three installed versions - HELP!!
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Fri, 26 Mar 1999 22:10:44 GMT
I really would like to know the method whereby I can remove all three installations of
Samba and
start anew. Can I simply remove the folder containing the Samba files? I so, which
ones?
rpm -q samba yields:
samba-1.9.18p5-1
samba-1.9.18p10-5
samba-2.0.3-19990228
The first package was part of my original RH 5.1 installation
The second was installed as an "upgrade" after upgrading the kernel to 2.0.36
The last was installed today hoping that the two previous packages would be removed in
the process.
Additionally, during the install process (rpm -Uvh samba-2.0.3-19990228.i386.rpm) I
received the
following message:
Segmentation fault (core dumped).
I should note that all "appears" to be working properly. For instance, the most
recent version
appears in Network Neighborhood on Win95 and NT machines.
I just wonder what's lurking in the background. No good can come of having three
versions of Samba
registered. Or can it?
TIA,
John McKee
