Subject: dhcp_70 compiling?
Date: Sat, 27 Mar 1999 15:05:53 -0600
Hey;
I've got redhat ver 5.1 (kernel ver 2.0.34) and I'm having some problems
compiling the dhcp client daemon. I'm getting a bunch of VAR redefined
warnings, and finally an error about a library variable not being a
function. I've included the error output. I know it's long and I
apologize for that; however, I'm hoping somebody can tell me how to fix
the source so it'll work.
I was a C programmer once upon a time; however, that was *long* ago and,
unfortunately, I never learned any network programming, so this is a bit
over my head.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time.

I don't exactly comply with your solution to fixing the "WinCable modem"
being made by 3Com. I think that 3Com should be contacted and frequently.
Consider this, my local provider is pawning off these same modems so I have
the same problem. Charter can't really do anything for me. 3Com makes the
modem and would be the one with the responsiblility to write the driver or
release enough info. for one to be written. Also consider the fact that
there are some Unix based providers that are catching hell themselves.
Everyone who cares PLEASE contact 3Com and encourage your local cable
service provider to contact 3Com about providing a viable solution. The
same stands as stated by Damon. Please be calm and curtious, eventhough
many providers can be obnoxious and ignorant. 3Com will continue to offer
the VSP to cable service providers as a solution and I believe that it's
more likely that 3Com will write a *nix driver for the masses before your
service provider will overhaul their whole infrastructure for the extra $30
- $60 they make from you and the other few *nix users in your area.

I'm trying to Linux with Samba and Windows NT Workstation talking. When I
look at the Network Neighborhood on NT it will show the group but it does
not display the computer(times out). The version of Linux I am using is 5.2
and everything now is running on an out of the box server installation.
Things that do work are Apache, FTP and pinging so I know the network does
exist but something must be set wrong in the default install.
Anyone have any ideas?

Subject: PPP demand dialing won't work under 2.2.3 ???
Date: Sat, 27 Mar 1999 16:15:53 -0600
hi-
I've been using demand-dialing under a RedHat 5.2-based 2.0.36 system
for a long time now, and would like to update to 2.2.3. I have several
systems, some running 2.0.x series kernels, and others running 2.2.3
kenels, so I have a fair amount of experience with both.
The key problem under pppd 2.3.5 (and pppd 2.3.3) with 2.2.3 kernel
seems to be the 'noipdefault' option no longer behaves correctly. If
its present, it now prevents the assignment of the 'bogus' remote
address (which is simply a placeholder in the routing table, to be
changed to the actual remote address upon connection). If it not
present the pppd daemon aborts, and says no remote address assigned
(which is required for demand dialing).
I've specified both 'ipcp-accept-local' and 'ipcp-accept-remote'
options, which should work as they did under 2.0.36.
Here's my 'options.modem' file:
/dev/modem
115200
crtscts
demand
modem
connect "chat -v -r /etc/ppp/report -f /etc/ppp/dialout"
defaultroute
user rjflory
kdebug 1
debug
0.0.0.0:198.247.1.62
ipcp-accept-local
ipcp-accept-remote
mtu 4096
mru 4096
noipdefault
idle 1200
bsdcomp 15,15
deflate 15,15
noipx
ipx-routing 0
which is working perfectly under pppd 2.3.3 on a 2.0.36 RedHat 5.2
machine nearby (i'm routine this message through it...).
Also, watch out. The pcmcia startup scripts will clobber your
/dev/modev softlink if it find any /dev/cua* entries, so delete them if
you are running a pcmcia modem under 2.2.x kernels.

Reply-To: "Armando L. Caro Jr." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I am having some problems just connecting a win98 machine and a
linux machine.
Here is the deal... I have 2 machines on an ethernet. One is a full time
Linux box, the other is a Win98/Linux dual-boot. When the 2nd is booted
to linux, I can connect back and forth with no problems. The problem is
that I don't know much about Win98 to get it connected to the linux box.
I have it already setup to get an IP address automatically for dialing
into an ISP, so I don't want to mess that up. Can someone either point me
to some HOWTO or give me some steps to get the 2 connected?
Please email me your responses.

Subject: Prioritized IP traffic
Date: Sat, 27 Mar 1999 17:45:30 -0500
Hello,
Some of the more advanced firewalls and routers I've seen have had a
concept of prioritized traffic (only allowing certain traffic through
when there is idle bandwidth available).
I've seen configuration like:
1) Drop the priority of all traffic between IP addresses x.x.x.x and
y.y.y.y (great for a machine that backups up data and then tries to move
it off site).
2) Drop the priority of all TCP traffic on port x (great for mail
servers talking to the outside world).
3) A combination of both.
Anyone done anything like this with Linux as a router or as a firewall?
Thanks!

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi, all:
I am investigating using Netatalk to set up a file server for a
university classroom. I work at Winona State University in Minnesota
and I would like to save the taxpayers some cash. Using Linux instead of
Appleshare IP would save money, time, equip, etc.
I have investigated the Netatalk sites on the web and they are a bit
vague. They assume more knowlege than this newbie has. I have RH 5.2
running for our department server (and zipping right along with no
problems.) My question is... is there a good step-by-step for installing
this function?
I notice an appletalk message when the kernel boots. Does this mean I
don't have to recompile the kernel? Can netatalk be run as a module
(since its traffic will be light?)
Any help would be appreciated. The Taxpayers (and Jesse Ventura) thank
you as well!

I'll have to get my hands on that. I heard about it before, but to my
knowledge it was just a replacement for `fstat` (which doesn't do any of the
other nifty things you describe). I guess I was wrong. Fortunately, being
wrong also means that I now have my hands on a tool I've always wanted, but
have been too lazy to write myself. That's not a bad thing.
...on the other hand, I just tried three different versions of the FreeBSD
`lsof` port, and none of them work. I'll try later.

Hello,
I have a Linux Box that I am trying use a webserver and I want to use
windows 98 as web browser client. I have both cards in both machines.
Each ping their own particular IP address correctly but do not recognize
each other. I have added the other card IP address to my hosts file.
I don't know how to do the equivilant in Windows 98. I seems that both
machines now the network card is there but refuse to answer (respond to
ping) the other machine.
I think something is not configured correctly. I am referecing various,
HOWTOs but none seem to indicate how to configure Win 98 to communicate
with each other.
I have tried running through the hub and also direct connecting.
Any suggestions appreciated,

I read the other replies here, and I think all your questions can be
answered in a bit more detail by looking at the ethernet howto. The
linux documentation project (http://sunsite.unc.edu/LDP) has all of
them.

Really? Not a spark of interest? Not even a pointer somewhere else?
Surprising. No one wants to take over the Internet?

Subject: Re: Machine name themes - what do you use?
Date: Sat, 27 Mar 1999 19:06:35 -0500
I always named my machine after my mother, being the first important woman
in my life. When I got a network, I was going to name machines after
significant girlfriends. Unfortunately, I didn't start networking until
after I was married. That was find for the second machine (wife's name) and
even the third (daughter), but now I'm stuck -- do I find another theme, or
have an affair in order to name machine #4? Or, almost as bad, do I simply
name a machine after an ex- and deal with the inevitable hail of nasty
looks?

Hi all,
I have just installed a 2nd NIC on my RedHat 5.2. I added an entry in
/etc/config.modules for this EtherExpress 16 ISA card (same as the 1st NIC)
and rebooted the PC. It is now hung on bootup. Please help!
Thanks.
Allen
