John,
Most of the things you have said are worthless, YOU NEED TO EXPLAIN THE
PROBLEMS, or else no one can help you. Don't take this the wrong way we
where all new to this at one time but to get help you need to state what
the problems are.
I personally don't like KDE I run Enlightenment or Motif but to each
his own. And as far as everything being RPM's learn how to use tar,
RPM's are usually a few versions behind.
Write me if you would like some help but don't just say things are
junk, garbage, crap. Some people have spent there good time to create
these tools for your use and just because your new and unsure in the
configuration and setup of these applications they are not one of the
above. The applications you have picked out above are fine pieces of
work that some of us have never had a problem with. We will help you
but you have to give us quality information to begin and assist. As far
as documentation for beginners, there is nothing that is going to make
it easier, not even step by step because this is not how it is done.
Write and I will help....

Hi there!
I'm running Linux 2.2.5 and it's doing pretty well, except for telnetd. If I
try to connect via telnet to the Linux machine either from a local shell or
from the LAN, I always get the msg "telnetd : all network ports in use"
though there's just one user connected. Disabling ftpd, apache-httpd or samba
doesn't help either!
Where can I fix this?
Thanks a lot for any helping stuff!!

Does anyone have a strong ruleset they would be willing to post for me to use
as an example? I have tried writing my own for two boxes running on a cable
modem but when I load it I dont get any internet traffic thru...not even on
the firewall box. I guess I just dont understand enough of the rules and how
they work. I plan to use the first box strictly as a firewall box and the
second is a dual boot between windoze and Linux (mandrake 5.3). I use ICQ,
Instant messenger, mIRC, and multiplayer games. Any and all help would be
greatly appreciated!!!

The samba package (nmbd, more specfically), supports NetBIOS name

Check your IRQ's. My modem was com2 irq 7. It worked fine in my 95 but
went autistic in DOS and Linux. Moved it to irq 3 (had disabled the
original com2 at the very beginning) and it worked fine. (wvdial is

Go edit your /etc/rc.config file. There should be a line

change it to yes. You might have to reboot after this?

I have installed the Redhat5.2 on my computer, though I have the

I am now using this NIC with my Win95 properly.
My NIC have the AUI/UTP/BNC output. Does the linux auto-sense the

Can you tell me the procedure/command to active the lan card on the

Make yourself a bootable dos/win9x diskette and put the compex
utilities on it (if you lost the original disk you can get them from
http://www.compex-inc.com/index.htm , it's in the obsolete isa card
drivers)
Reboot with this diskette
Set your irq and i/o address and put it in EN2000 mode.
Now you can use the standard EN2000 linux drivers with the parameters
you selected

Further to this, Linux Weekly News (www.lwn.net) contains links to two
fairly detailed explanations of exactly how the Linux machine was
misconfigured; frex, although 2.2.3 was out, 2.2.2 with known difficulties
talking TCP/IP to Windoze was used; Samba and Apache were compiled without
maximal optimisation; and so forth. There is also a link to a protest by
Novell when MindCraft 'benchmarked' them against NT, also sponsored by
MicroSoft. I think the only conclusion we can draw is that MindCraft's
results have more to do with the origin of the money than anything else.
No doubt this will hit the trade press some time next week. People should
write in, but calmly; a page of rabid froth will do us no favours (if your
spelling and grammar isn't near-perfect, don't even bother). The thing to
do is to read the rebuttals LWN points to, summarise what you believe are
the more important points, mention the sponsor of the MindCraft results,
mention the Novell thing, and provide the URLs of the rebuttals
themselves.

But make sure that you have the hardware set up correctly in linux; if
ifconfig -a works well, then I think this one is OK. Can you mail
or post the output of ifconfig -a? It should show the IP address assigned
to the ethernet card as well as the netmask.

I am an inexperienced networker, but it might be prudent to choose more
appropriate IP numbers. 192.168.x.x is set aside for isolated networks;
I would suggesting using 192.168.100.1, 192.168.100.2, and 192.168.100.3
with a netmask of 255.255.255.0.
Perhaps you don't have a route added for your ethernet card. Try
the following (based on my IP numbering scheme above) (syntax may
or may not be correct):
route add 192.168.100.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0
Add this route on each computer.
And then try a 'ping 192.168.100.1' and so on from each computer; they
should be able to answer. If everything is OK thus far, then edit
your /etc/hosts file (I assume that, for such a small network, you
don't want to mess with DNS) and add the entries:
192.168.100.1 bart
192.168.100.2 lisa
192.168.100.3 homer
And again try your pings, but with the machine names instead
of IP addresses.

How would one change the ethernet card from full duplex to half duplex?
I probably have the same problem as the original poster, since I didn't

I don't know, but their Apache configuration looks like it will
impose a fairly low limit on number of clients in their test.

Subject: Socket programming under redhat 5.2
Date: Thu, 15 Apr 1999 10:49:40 -0700
I am attempting to write a very simple socket server under Linux (Redhat
5.2). The program listed below compiles and runs fine, but I am unable
to connect up to the specified port (As a quick and dirty test I'm using
telnet <hostname> <port>). Each time I get a Connection refused message.
I've tried this program under two different installations of Linux (5.2
and a 5.1) and I see the same behavior. If, however, I compile and run
this same program under Solaris 2.5.1 it works fine.
As a data point I know that sockets work on my box because I can write
Java sockets all day long (that work), and I can use the middleware
product ACE and open and close sockets like crazy. Are there any special
compiler/linker flags that I'm missing (I've even got apache running and
accepting socket connections). Any help would be much appreciated!
-David-
Example Code (not the cleanest or best way to do sockets perhaps, but
this is just a down and dirty c program for testing):
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netdb.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <unistd.h>

struct hostent *localHost;
fd_set readfds;
struct timeval timeOut;
myaddr.sin_family = AF_INET;
myaddr.sin_port = 5000;
myaddr.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;
if ( (endptID = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP)) == -1 ) {
printf("ERROR: Socket failed\n");
endptID = -1;
} else {
if ( gethostname(host,512) == -1 ) {
