Thanks Keith for responding, I much appreciate it.
Actually, I had already tried various versions of arp commands to alter my
ARP table. None of this worked. But again, I believe that the problem I have
(including for arp) is that I don't know the current IP address assigned to
the JetDirect's hardware address.
I suspect that there must be a way to query the LAN and have all interfaces
respond with their hardware addresses and their corresponding assigned IP
addresses, but I couldn't figure out how to do this. As you can tell, I'm a
novice Linux user.
I also couldn't get the MacOS to tell me the IP address that was assigned to
the HP JetDirect card in the printer. I did find out from the printer what it
thinks is its Appletalk name, but this name did not work in various attempts
at placing it in /etc/printcap or /etc/hosts. Again, the reason why none of
this worked (nor should it have worked) is, I believe, because there is
nothing on the Linux side that "ties" the known printer hardware address to
the known printer Appletalk name. In other words, I need the IP address in
order to make this connection in the Linux world.
I think what I want is a form of RARP, that is, I want the printer to reply
to a RARP query using the hardware address by returning its assigned IP
address. I don't know how to do this however. Is there such a thing as a
"harware ping", i.e,, a ping-like command where you specify the hardware
address and it returns the NIC's IP address? Sorry for my naivete.
Thanks in advance,
Nick B.

Date: 10 Apr 1999 18:14:09 GMT
Daring to challenge the will of the almighty Leviam00se, Druce Vertes
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) had the courage to say:
: Thanks, changed to IRQ 10 but no luck yet.
: I would have thought that if it works under Win 95 with IRQ 9 that would
: rule out a conflict...
: Also upgraded to 2.2 kernel, that got rid of the errors in the messages log,
: but still no link LED on the Ethernet card, same behavior as before.
Hm. Well, since the error doesn't come up anymore you probably won't
care, but according to my 3Com 3c90X Technical Reference, 0x200 (bit
13) set in the Fifo Diagnostic register indicates an RX underrun
error, whichis described as follows:
"When set, this bit causes a hostError interrupt that requires
either an RxReset or a GlobalReset command to clear. An rxUnderrun
occurs when the host reads data out of the receive FIFO faster
than the network can fill it, or faster than the FIFO can supply
data to the rxData register, resulting in the host accidentally
reading invalid data."
: wasn't immediately able to get it working at 10MB either.
: Next step is probably going to be to put in another Ethernet adapter, but
: this is a real pain.
Well, before you do that, I noticed the following:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It looks like you started tried to force the media type to 100BaseTX.
However this is the wrong thing to do for the 3c905. You should be using
the MII type (6) instead. The 3c905 and the 3c905B differ in that the
3c905 has an external MII transceiver, while the 3c905B has one built
in. The 100baseTX (4) transceiver type actually means 'built-in 100Mbps
tranceiver' which only applies to the 3c905B. It's wrong for the 3c905:
you should be using MII (6) instead. There are simiular ambiguities
when you compare, say, the 3c905 to the 3c900. The 3c900 cards are
10Mbps only and use the on-board 10Mbps transceiver in the boomerang
chipset, but the 3c905B, which also supports 10Mbps, uses the external
MII transciever instead and leaves the internal one idle.
Note that the transceiver on the 3c905B NIC is set up to look like
an MII compliant transceiver (you control it through the same management
interface as the 3c905) but it's considered a different animal. This
is probably because the 3c905B has support for real MII transceivers
and 3Com wanted to draw a disctinction between that and the built-in
one.

This is not a kernel problem. Modprobe just can't find your appletalk and
netware protocol modules.
Just add the lines
alias net-pf-4 off
alias net-pf-5 off
to your /etc/conf.modules file and the messages will go away. An alternate
solution is to compile the modules and have them loaded, but that would be
a waste of time and resources if you don't use them.

Date: Sat, 10 Apr 1999 19:19:39 +0000
Hi,
I have now set up the BT Speedway card. It was not easy but I did it
eventually. Some tips:
1. Use the 2.0.36 kernel. If you are using RedHat 5.2 do not use the
kernel provided. Download either a suitable patch or get the kernel
from a mirror of http://www.kernel.org
2. Get the latest isdn4linux utilities. If you are running Red Hat or
have / willing to get their RPM system get the rpm version.
3. Here is a VERY useful links:
http://www.terminator.net/linux/isdn.html
Remember the BT Speedway is a Fritz ACM PCI PnP type. Whilst some have
said it can be made to work under 2.2.x I think for us first timers it
is much hard work.
Hope this helps and if there is anything I can do to help let me know.

Folks,
I have been working a little with using NFS for file sharing between Linux

For instance, what are the differences and similarities between SMB's and

I have a similar setup myself, I have 1 NT 4.0 Server, 2 NT W/s, 1 Win95, and
2 RH5.2 boxes. I use Netproxy3 on the Win95 box and have had no problems.
Netproxy is so easy to setup you can have it up and running in less than 5

have never had any problems with it.

Date: Sat, 10 Apr 1999 18:43:26 GMT
I will soon be installing Mandrake 5.3, and I have some install
questions, if someone is kind enough to supply answers :)
My hardware:
Celeron 300A oc'd to 450
256Meg PC100 RAM
Adaptec 2940 running:
2xQuantum Furball 2.G(~600meg partition awaiting the Mandrake CD)
Toshiba 6.7x CD
Philips 40x CD
I may re-install a TEAC 600meg tape drive, prolly not...
SB AWE 32/8megs
USR Sport 33k6 internal, model 1171
Matrox G200/8megs
1-Linksys PCI NIC
1-Gallant PCI NIC
K-board, Logitech marble mouse.
1) Will ~600meg partition be enough to carry all the networking ware,
plus a suitable combo of apps?
2) Is all the hardware compatable?
3) I currently IP Masquerade the Net to one other system in the house.
I have a cable modem hookup that I feed my son's W98 system on. I use
Bjarne Jensen's IP Masquerading for OS/2 product called, appropriately
enough, GATEWAY. Will I be able to similarly gate the Net to my
internal net?
4) I currently run a mail server app here, Hethmon Bros INETMAIL, by
Paul Hethmon. I find it easy to manage, although I only have 6-7
accounts setup. Is there a similar product/package available? I also
run a small 3W server app on port 80, but I understand Mandrake has
the latest & greatest Apache distrib included, so I'm not concerned
with that replacement, but can Apache also run SMTP/POP3, and how
difficult is that setup?
5) I am not a gamer, but I still enjoy some older DOS games, like
DIGDUG(83), Tristan Pinball(93) and Bycicle Bridge(91) etc. How good
is Mandrake's DOSEMU these days, and will it be able to handle DOS
apps on HPFS drives?
I have lots other questions, of course, and I'd very much appreciate
if somone could forward the SUB address for a good List that handles
installation/setup questions.

I bought the book "Linux Network Toolkit" by Paul Sery, IDG Books Worldwide,
and he describes how to do it under RH 5.0 (not much has really changed since
then). Since (as I recall) only one driver can be compiled in to the kernel,
and the second one has to be loaded up as a module. Short of typing in half
the book, that's probably as much as I can tell you. You should invest in the
book, it's $40 that could save you $1000's in consulting fees!
If you need really detailed info, email me privately and I will type in exact
instructions and mail it back...
good luck,

I've seen the same problem with two EtherExpress cards and a 2.0.36
kernel (RedHat 5.2) on more modest hardware:
-- Compaq 486DX, 16MB
-- 2 x Intel EtherExpress 16 (IO270 IRQ5, IO300 IRQ10)
The machine locks up completely with multiple copies of this message:
eth0: CU wedged, status 0140 0000, resetting...
This is after recompiling the kernel and taking a few options out.
Previously, it would hang with a completely frozen screen, no error
messages, nothing in /var/log/messages. I append the kernel .config
file.

Has anyone been able to get RH5.2 to run more than one Ethernet card
simultaneously?? I have a RH machine that will serve as my Agency's
intra-net server. I would like to install at least 2-4 cards [Maximum
supported by other OSes], and assign each one of them a specific function,
so as not to overload the cards...i.e. card 1 would be for http request,
card 2 for DNS lookups, card 3 for FTP, and Card 4 for DHCP. If anyone has
done this, or can point me to the right references, please let me know.
Also, can linux be used with Token Ring???
