        Note that the 3c509b and the 3c590b and the 3c905b are all
completely different cards that use different drivers.  I'm not sure why
3com decided to use this naming convention, but it's pretty unfortunate. 
        So the problem still stands: what happens with the 3c509b that
makes the network unreachable?  Seems like a lot of us are having this
problem, even after screwing around with the i/o, irq, and pnp settings
on the etherdisk.  In ifconfig, route, and netstat it looks like my NIC is
working, and I can ping myself.  But all other attempts to access the
network fail.  When I reported this to RedHat technical support, they said
they thought it meant my network was set up wrong.
        However, all the network numbers are right, and if i use a
different box with a different card at the same 10baseT line, it works
fine.  So somehow, the 3c509b and my box aren't working together right.
        Any suggestions?

Subject: IP Masq + Windows Networking Angst
Date: 10 Apr 1999 18:14:44 GMT


I have a question regarding IP Masquerading and Windows Networking.
Let me explain the situation.
Some of the diagrams below need to be viewed in a fixed-width font.

My old setup was thus: a windows network run using TCP/IP only. I was
in a domain called 'SCHOOL'
and could see the other computers in the domain from Network
Neighbourhood. 
My machine name was 'WS102', and I needed to log into the NT domain
when windows started.

   ,-------------,  ,----------------,  ,------------------,
   |    ws102    |--| rest of domain |--| proxy & internet |
   |  [windows]  |  '----------------'  '------------------'
   '-------------'  

Now that I have IP Masquerading setup the picture looks like this:

   ,-------------,  ,-------------,  ,----------------, 
,------------------,
   |    ws102    |--|  linux box  |--| rest of domain |--| proxy &
internet |
   |  [windows]  |  '-------------'  '----------------' 
'------------------'
   '-------------'  

I hope those two are clear. The IP Masquerading works fine for ICQ,
IRC, FTP, web browsing etc. 
The problem is that with the new setup I cannot see anything except
myself in Network 
Neighbourhood. I used to be able to see about 40 other
computers/printers. My network admin, 
while not helping me because it's against policy, says that they only
use TCP/IP not NetBEUI or
IPX or anything like that. (He's not allowed to help me, but doesn't
mind if I get it working).

Aside from not seeing the rest of my workgroup I cannot actually
authenticate via the NT server
in the domain. When I start up windows, and have to type in my
username and password there is a
pause before it says something along the lines of "Could not
authenticate credentials with NT
server. Access may be restricted to certain resources.". I wonder if
these two are connected.

I have wondered whether I need to use VPN or something like that? 

Any advice so I can see the rest of my domain, and/or authenticate
would be most gratefully
received.

Regards,
Ollie Cook

I found that out as well! Anyone know how RH produced a 2.0.36 kernel that
wasn't 2.0.36?

Given it's only replacing a directory and some include files in the
kernel distribution, I don't think it's that much extra work. Also,
I think you can only get the compression with a 2.2.x kernel which
is a good reason for moving! (Using isdn.tar.gz on the 2.0.x kernel
may allow it to work, I'm not sure).

One thing I do find though is that with 2.2.x the line always drops
within a minute of inactivity. Using the idle parameteron ipppd doesn't
appear to have an effect. Has anyone a solution to this?

If you need to have X, and you have a fast network, try running vnc.
There is a version that works with dos and a packet driver.

Is it a new interface? What am I missing here. Or perhaps is it a way for

hi there Jiang
i guess you are new to linux and the networking world..
telnet is used to log onto a remote machine and do all kinds of weird
stuff on it..as though you were sitting right in front of it..you can
run your programs,check mail etc..
ftp is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol and is used for transferring
files from one machine to another...so that you can access your files
wherever you are logged in!
hope that it answers your question!!!

This logs the receipt of a message from regproc@... The "relay" is the

Trying to, yes.  It seems that the attempt was unsuccessful.  However,
if you're concerned and/or it happens again then perhaps a mail to
postmaster@... enclosing some of the logs... 

Might also be worth firewalling your SMTP port so that only yourself and
your ISP have access to send mail through it.

Russ,
    I have a few of these cards, theyre not bad. You need a utility that came
with the card to set the card, it runs in dos/win... dont bother with the
drivers on it for unix, they wont work. in linux you should use the ne2k-pci

need to boot dos or windows to run the utility...

If your VPN server is not on your gateway, you must configure a port on the
gateway
such that any packet received will be forwarded to the appropriate port onyour
VPN
server.  I still think that ipfwadm or ipchain will allow this port mapping.

    you probably dont want to use minicom to do ppp, you can, but there are
better tools. try ppp-on, pppgo, or kppp (comes with kde). kppp is pretty easy
to do... you will to know things like your DNS and such, but about the easiest

As a relative newcomer to linux system administration I have a question
about the use of linux in a network running Novell Netware 3.22.  Here is
the whole situation.

We have just added a Powermac G3 into our network for use as a graphics
workstation.  It easily recognizes and prints to our networked printers.  We
were able to get it to route through our gateway and get into the internet.
BUT, since it doesn't do ipx natively, we can't get it to log into our
netware server.  Now from reading the Howto's, I see that a linux box can be
configured to be a NCP client and could mount the drives on the Netware
server.  It can also be configured as an appletalk server.  If I did both,
would the Mac be able to see the files on the netware server by using
appletalk or appleshare over IP?  Or is there an easier way.

Any answers please forward to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks in advance.

I have a samba server set up on a WinNT4 network for the purpose of sharing
it's 3 cd-rom drives to the network.  However when you access the linux
server from a winnt workstation,  it appears to be very slow to provide a
file listing of a cd rom's directory.  If you go more than 3 directories
deep in a given cd or pick a directory with a lot of files in it,  then it
is REALLY slow to display the directory contents.  Half the time it will
actually time out and give an error message before displaying the file list.
The linux server is a P200 with 48MB of ram and a 70 MB swap partition. The
cd-roms are IDE 32x.   Please ?!?
Any ideas would be very appreciated.

How are you editing /etc/passwd?  Are you using a GUI tool, or some other
software designed to create and manage accounts on Linux?

You should not edit passwd as a text file, at least for the password field.
No encoding of the password will result, and the use will not be able to log
in.  You can create the account without a password, then, at the shell
prompt, use the "passwd" command to give the password an account.

Do this:

1.  Create account without a password, or the string "null" in the passwd
field.

2.  Exit GUI or editor

3.  At shell prompt, type "passwd 'username'", where "username" is the
username of the account for which you want to change the password.  Hit
<return>.

4.  Follow the instructions.

You can use the "passwd" command on existing accounts, also.
