John,
I had the same problem as you. I tried a Intel Pro100 PCI card with a
3C905 PCI card and could only get one of them recgonized properly. I
also have a 486 with ISA slots with a 3C509 and Intel EtherExpress8/16
with same types of problems. I solved it and got things working by
using two 3C509 cards and manually setting the I/O addrress and IRQs
with the 3Com 3c5xcfg config utility, then you only need one kernel
driver for both cards, and it always works. I also did the same with
the PCI cards ... went with two Intel PRO100 cards.
Of course, this may not help if you don't want to spring for another
matching card, but it is a solution.

It looks to me like you may have a sender issue. Have you set up
sendmail to masquerade as your provider? I used to do something like
this:
from /etc/sendmail.cf:
# my official domain name ... define this only if sendmail cannot
# automatically determine your domain
Dj$w.earthlink.net
This causes all your outgoing mail to look like it came from your
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
It seems that many providers will not pass mail that has an invalid
Sender: line & the above will fix that. (I went through similar
torture on my linux box when first I set it up.)

There's tons of information about IP masquerading, but for a cable modem
probably the best information is going to come out of the Linux documentation

If they don't have real inet addresses, you *must* use IP masquerading.

Date: Thu, 15 Apr 1999 22:03:10 -0400
You can install imap-4.4-2.i386.rpm from the Redat5.2 CD. This installs
a mail server on Linux with both IMAP and POP3 functionality. After you
install the mail server ( rpm -Uvh imap-4.4-2.i386.rpm ) you will need to
edit some of the files in /etc/mail : ip_allow and relay_allow to your
specifications. I've attached the one's I setup to use on my LAN, but it is
left wide-open with the *.*.*.* and 0.0.0.0 -- I think. Anyways, my wife and
kids and myself get email from our Linux RH52 dial-up server using Outlook
Express on Windows PC's. Is this what you wanted to do or did you mean that
you would like to have your email from your ISP automatically downloaded to
your Linux box? Not sure.
To be able to have mail routed to your Linux server from the internet,
you might want to check out: http://www.ez-ip.net . I use their services
because I have a slow-poke dialup connection with dynamic IP addressing. I
am on 24/7 anyways though.
You can email me at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you need any
help.
Also, take a look at my dialup server's pages at:

Are you using Windows "telnet" or some X server? What errors are
being returned (or do you just get a "disconnected" error)?
One common problem with Linux is that the telnet daemon preserves
some bits of the environment when telnetd is invoked from inetd.
Included in this environment is the definition of your terminal
type (TERM). Make sure you have something quite "generic" set in
your telnet client, and contemplate either loading the "foreign
terminal support" (or somesuch -- it's the extra termcap entries) or
modifying the telnetd software to discard the passed environment.
This caused me a lot of grief when I tried telnetting into my
Linux system from an AIX box on my LAN. Linux _did_not_ like the
"aixterm" TERM definition and disconnected me immediately (after
dutifully accepting my password!). Creating a phony termcap entry
for "aixterm" solved the problem until I modified the telnetd code
to scrap the environment.

Does anyone know a good source on info for configuring the win98 client to
connect to a samba server. I'm running stock redhat v5.2. The linux box
seems to be fine (I can ping it from win98 and it can ping the win98 boxes)
but when I click on the linux box in network neighborhood it wants a
password. My windows login password will not work. I have set the clients
to plaintext passwords but no luck. The /etc/hosts file is correct (I
think) and I am not running DNS nor wins on the clients. I'm running a
three system home network on ethernet 10base2. The two windows boxes are
communicating fine but I just can't talk to the linux box. Please email any

My company is planning to replace the NT file server with Linux file server.
I had installed Redhat5.2 (kernel 2.0.36) and Samba 2.0 and Netatalk 1.4b.
Everything works well.
The problems is that both PC client and Mac client can access the same
source
save file even one client has lock it, one client does not respect the lock
applied
by the other client, and the other client accually can modify and remove the
same file.
NT file server has no such problem, it there any way to get around of this ?
If this
problem can not be solved, I can not use Linux as my company's file server.
Thanks.

Nonsense. They had failed to configure the Linux system correctly,
not only with respect to the memory, but in several more damaging ways
discussed elsewhere in this thread. In other words, they were not
comparing a Linux Server with an NT server. They were comparing a
poorly configured Linux Server running inappropriate versions of the
webserver with a highly tuned NT server. Their benchmark is in no way
valid as a comparison of the performance of real webservers- it is
only valid as a measure of the incompetence of Mindcraft.

There is evidence. You appear to have decided to post before reading
it.
I am willing to stake a tenner than no-one will be able to reproduce
that result if they run the same test on a machine of identical spec,
but this time bothering to configure the Linux set-up properly, using
the most appropriate software.
As someone who administers both NT and Linux webservers I can assure
you that it is demonstrably fallacious to suggest that NT is faster,
or makes a better server in any way whatsoever.

No. Wrong. Many (including Linux under mgetty) will give you a login
prompt if they do not detect an attempt at ppp negotiation. That does
not mean that you can log in however. You may not have a
password/username on the machine. The PAP secrets file is not the same
as the passwd file.

This is the typical behaviour of a PAP system.

Subject: Proxy/MASQ = bad FTP?
Date: Thu, 15 Apr 1999 23:01:58 GMT
Hi,
I'm running kernel 2.2.3 which is configured to run as a transparent
proxy and do masquerading. It's also routing traffic between the
internet and my internal network and there are no restrictions on what
can come in or go out. Eveything seems to work great EXCEPT ftp.
When I'm on a workstation on the inside network and I want to ftp out,
sometimes I will get problems displaying a directory listing of the site
I'm connected to. Other times, I can connect fine and everything
displays, but downloading is unreliable. For example, if I try to
download a file in Netscape from a site that I'm connected to on the
internet, generally what happens is the transfer will reach 99% or 100%
but will not transfer the last few bytes -- it will just hang and not
complete the transfer. But othertimes it will work fine, it seems to
vary from site to site.
Does anyone know what could be causing this to happen? Again, I'm not
rescricting any ports from coming in or going out and everything else
seems to work great.
Can anyone shed some light on this? Any info would be very much
appreciated!

George:
Depending on what you installed, it is already setup if you
installed wu-ftpd and the anonymous ftp package if you want
that. If you didn't install these then there is no configuration
to be done.

If someone has any suggestions I would be appreciative...
Here is my system:
Redhat 5.2
2.0.36 kernel
3com 3c509 ISA NIC
ip forwarding enabled
all ip masq options enabled in kernel
Everything network-wise works fine (ftp, samba, httpd)and there are no
error messages in the boot.log except for the following:
cant find module net-pf-4
cant find module net-pf-5
It displays this message several times throughout the boot and shutdown
process. I have checked the modules.dep file and all the modules that are
in that file are also in their correct directories. Is there another module
config file I am missing? Does the 4 and 5 refer to a line in modules.dep?
Thanks for your time...
Chris

Its possible that your ftp & ncftp packages are corrupt. Check them with
glint and reinstall them. this may help

Subject: Serial Port to TCP Port application
Date: Thu, 15 Apr 1999 17:11:42 -0700
I have an application that uses a device connected to my serial port.
However, I need to "remote" this application. I would like to connect my
serial port to a TCP Port in my Linux machine. This would allow me to
remotely control my serial port "widget" through TCP/IP. Is there an easy
way to do this? Has anyone done this before? Sample C source code?
Implications for the other (remote) end?
Thanks,
Dave
