Here's the driver by Franco Venturi:

and a good reference page:

and for IP_masq issues:

A very minimal firewall:
/sbin/ipfwadm -F -p deny
/sbin/ipfwadm -F -a m -S192.168.2.0/24 -D0.0.0.0/0
For Redhat Linux, try setting "FORWARD_IPV4=false" to "FORWARD_IPV4=true" in
/etc/sysconfig/network
Which essentially does this:
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

The Linksys LNE100TX is one of MANY cards based on the DEC "Tulip"
chipset. Unfortunately, I gather that DEC is no longer making this
chipset (the reports I've seen are that Intel swallowed up that part of
DEC and has discontinued the chipset). Fortunately, a number of clones of
the Tulip chipset have become available, and most Tulip board
manufacturers, including Linksys, have simply switched to one of these
clones. The clones may not be recognized by any but the latest of the
Linux Tulip drivers, though. You can obtain the latest from:
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/tulip-devel.html
You'll need to take the tulip.c file and put it in your kernel source
directory (in drivers/net, IIRC), then recompile either modules or the
kernel, depending upon how your system is configured.
Now, if your card is old enough to have a "genuine" DEC part, it SHOULD be
recognized already, assuming that SuSE includes Tulip support by default.
That assumption could be wrong. In either event, try this at a command
prompt:
dmesg | grep eth0 -
This will show you the kernel bootup messages concerning the eth0 device.
Here's what this returns on my system, which uses a recent Linksys
LNE100TX with a Tulip clone:
eth0: Lite-On 82c168 PNIC at 0x7c00, xx xx xx xx xx xx, IRQ 11.
eth0: MII transceiver #1 config 3100 status 7829 advertising 01e1.
eth0: The transmitter stopped! CSR5 is 2068012, CSR6 812e0002.
eth0: Changing PNIC configuration to half-duplex, CSR6 812e0000.
(I've axed my board's identifying numbers.) The output for a board with
an original DEC part will be a bit different, of course, but you should
see some sort of part identification and status report.

Hi all,
I've tried to upgrade rpm package as "rpm -Uvh gnuplot-3.7-1.i386.rpm";
then the result is
failed dependencies:
libm.so.6(GLIBC_2.1) is needed by gnuplot-3.7-1
libm.so.6(GLIBC_2.0) is needed by gnuplot-3.7-1
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1) is needed by gnuplot-3.7-1
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0) is needed by gnuplot-3.7-1
When I test the glibc as "rpm -q glibc", the result is glibc-2.0.7-29.
Furthermore I can find libm.so.6 libc.so.6 in /lib.
In this situation, what can I do for upgrading the rpm.
As usual, any help would be appreciated.

If you've only spent a month on it, you are ahead of me!!
My guess is that you are trying to login in your chat script. With PAP, the
login is automatic from the values in your PAP-secrets file. So if you do
anything after getting a CONNECT in your chat script, it fails.
hope that helps, if not post it all like the guy before said.

if your isp uses PAP or CHAP, your script should stop at CONNECT. the login

Most cards sold as 100BaseT cards will also support 10BaseT. I know my
Intel cards certainly do -- I have a 10BaseT hub here until I decide to

I'm by no means a procmail expert but I think you can log to a file
exactly what procmail is doing. In your .procmailrc file, put a line

I don�t know exactly how this is done. I allready tried to take a IP

resolve the IP-string instead of simply using it as an IP. But perhaps
I didn�t take the right syntax...

You might try reading through the Network Administrators Guide. It
is usually on the CD. At least it has been on the Slackware CD's I
have purchased in the past. You can also purchase a hard copy. It
might be published by O'Reilly, not sure.
Is the 172.XXX.XXX.XXX series of numbers valid for private use? I
can't remember. I use 192.168.100.XX numbers.
I have a Slackware system. All of my networking stuff is setup in
the /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 file. This may be different on a Redhat system.
Here is a copy of that files contents:
=================cut-here=================================
#! /bin/sh
#
# rc.inet1 This shell script boots up the base INET system.
#
# Version: @(#)/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 1.01 05/27/93
#
HOSTNAME=`cat /etc/HOSTNAME`
# Attach the loopback device.
/sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
/sbin/route add -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 lo
# IF YOU HAVE AN ETHERNET CONNECTION, use these lines below to configure the
# eth0 interface. If you're only using loopback or SLIP, don't include the
# rest of the lines in this file.
# Edit for your setup.
IPADDR="192.168.100.10" # REPLACE with YOUR IP address!
NETMASK="255.255.255.0" # REPLACE with YOUR netmask!
NETWORK="192.168.100.0" # REPLACE with YOUR network address!
BROADCAST="192.168.100.255" # REPLACE with YOUR broadcast address, if you
# have one. If not, leave blank and edit below.
#GATEWAY="" # REPLACE with YOUR gateway address!
# Uncomment the line below to initialize the ethernet device.
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} broadcast ${BROADCAST} netmask ${NETMASK}
# Uncomment these to set up your IP routing table.
/sbin/route add -net ${NETWORK} netmask ${NETMASK} eth0
# End of rc.inet1
==================The End==========================================
I don't know if this will help or not but I it will give you something
to compare to.
Also, have you set up /etc/hosts files with the IP addresses for both
machines in it on both of your machines?
Of course, I'm assuming that you are confident that there are no
problems with network cards, cables, etc.

Not sure I really understand, but it sounds as if you want to get
to the Internet through your machine running Windows 98. I don't
know for sure but you may need to set the gateway on your linux
machine to the IP address of your Windows machine. The gateway
address is set in the /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 file on my system. I use
the Slackware distribution.
