(Doesn't DejaNews archive this somewhere?)
sendmail is hanging because it is trying to resolve the hostname of
your box. However, since (a) your linux box either doesn't have DNS
configured correctly or (b) the NIC isn't being recognized correctly,
sendmail is waiting for the response (which won't come).
(1) Put your name server in /etc/resolv.conf as in:
nameserver w.x.y.z
(2) However, if your NIC isn't recognized, then you've gotta go lower.
Is it PnP? If so, besides hitting with a 20# sledge hammer, try
going through the card's diagnostic software (usually on a floppy)
and disabling PnP. If this isn't it, make sure it is being seen
by the kernel using the correct irq and port. If it isn't even
being loaded, then you may have to add a line in /etc/conf.modules
like:
options eth0 3c509
options 3c509 io=0x220 irq=10
(which is what I would need if it didn't autodetect correctly)
(replace 3c509 with the module that you need loaded). If I
remember correctly, the ne* string of cards is not always
effectively autoprobed, so you really *have* to tell it where to
look before it'll try.
Before you randomly start doing this, make sure it works by trying
it on the command line with something like (as root):
/sbin/insmod /path/to/3c509.o io=0x220 irq=10
You may have to play with this to get it to work exactly. Once
you've figured out how to get it, modify the options line above
appropriately.
(3) If your NIC is being recognized, then start from here: is the IP
address you're using correct? Can you ping a neighboring
machine's ip address (not name) (on the same subnet) okay? Do you
have the gateway (default route) configured correctly? Can you
ping a host outside of your immediate subnet (ip address only, not
name) alright?
This problem can be quite nebulous without more information, as you
have probably guessed.

Subject: Telnet and FTP woes
Date: Tue, 13 Apr 1999 02:27:08 +0000
Hi folks,
I'm running RedHat Linux 5.1 (2.0.34 kernel). I finally have TCP
networking operating after some kernel compile problems, yet I still
have
some issues. The one I'm working on now involves Telnet and FTP. I
cannot connect my Windows machine to my Linux box with either;
both clients on the Windows side indicate a closed connection.
Telnet gives me no message other than "connection closed". I never
get a login.
FTP gives me the message "Connection closed by remote host". I
never get a login here either.
Both clients are the simple programs that ship with Windows 95.
I can ping my Linux box from Windows and vice-versa. I'm assuming I
need to change some settings in my network, but I'll be damned
if I know what they are. I have checked /etc/services and it shows
both ftp and telnet as being set up. Do I need a telnet and ftp
daemon running? Any information would be appreciated.

Hi guys,
I need some assistance with setting up a mail server under Linux.
At present I have 1 PC which acts as a firewall/gateway running Linux. I
will use this to forward all mail traffic (port 25?) to my file and print
server (again running Linux).
What I am after is advice as to what software / configuration is best for my
file and print server in regards to mail. I want it to retain all mail so
it can be accessed by current email packages - whether it be Windows based
or Linux based. Excuse the poor example, but along the same lines as an
Exchange server under NT. ie. all mail stored on the server and "viewed" by
MS Outlook.
Any suggestions and advice or pointers to appropriate resources would be
most appreciated.
TIA,
Dave

It sounds like what you need is Dynamic DNS. Try looking at
http://www.dyns.cx (your domain is something.dyns.cx)
or
http://www.justlinux.com (your domain is something.penguinpowered.com)
for dynamic dns services. I believe you'll need to restart apache each time you
dial up to reflect the new IP address you're given. You'll either need to do
this manually (it's in the httpd.conf file, the "Listen" option), or you can write
a script to do this each time (it's not too hard). Also, make "ServerName" your
dynamic dns hostname. I think that's it.
Have fun,

the umaks are set in the config file of the ftp daemon.
For wu-ftpd on Debian it's /etc/wu-ftp-academ/ftpaccess. It may also be
/etc/ftpaccess.
For proftpd it's /etc/proftpd (I think).

I didn't read any of the routing commands you did.
Set GATEWAY to nothing
GATEWAY=
Make sure the ppp0 (if using RedHat in particular) is set to take the
default route when activated.
This seems to solve my problems.
I don't have any routing commands in my files.

Hi everybody,
I've recently installed a mail server on a linux box (RH 5.2). I used
for this Sendmail. My PC is connected to a professional network which is
behind a proxy. The proxy is running on an NT Server. Actually I
Managed to connect to Internet and Newsgroup by configuring proxy on
Netscape.
The fact is my mail server cannot send mail to internet because cannot
connect to remote mail servers. I think this due to my proxy. Indeed,
when I try to rlogin to a remote server, connection is refused.
So how can I set Networks settings to enable every informations (even in
Shell mode) to go through my proxy ?

Do the NT boxes have real routable IP's? If not, then why not use IP
Masquerading? It takes all of about five minutes to set up.
If they do have real Inet addresses, are they on a different subnet? If so,
you'll need to set up a route between the two nets.

Do you know if ipmasqadm is really needed? I mean, it may just be a higher-

Hmm, I suppose that you intend to supernet the local nets in
each company only, and route between them, right ?
Potential problems with supernetting LANs (as opposed to supernetting
in routing, i.e. Route Aggregation) which I can foresee are:
- Large broadcast domains, which means a lot of broadcast traffic;
- Some older equipment may not be happy with masks smaller than /24.
Have you investigated the "Layer 3 Switching" (which is in fact a
kind of routing) and VLANs, which help you avoid these issues and
still have the benefits of switched LANs ?

To the default gateway, of course :)

Subject: "unknown interrup" in Red Hat 5.2
Date: Tue, 13 Apr 1999 19:41:01 +1000
Howde people,
I am receiving "unknown interrupt" messages, followed by a lock up on my
Red Hat 5.2 (Kernel 2.0.36) system.
I have 3 networked PCs.
450 pentium (win95)
150 pentium (win95)
100 pentium (hopefully file and print server - Linux)
-- all have PCI network cards detected and working OK.
It (the Linux box) runs fine by itself, but when I boot one of the win95
machines and try to connect to the network, the error emerges.
Any advice would be extremely helpful.
Ben
