Does the network connection work before this message?
If not, I'd guess IRQ level used by the board differs from your setup.
Execute ifconfig and see if your getting only RX data and no TX data.

You can also setup a filters on your router to filter out all Netbios
traffic.
I've not used Ascend, but most vendors have a section in their manual
or on thier webpage showing how to do this step by step.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I am attempting to move a NIS master server from Solaris
to a Linux system, kernel=2.2.5 with a RH 5.2 distribution
updated for the 2.2.X kernel, ypserv - NYS YP Server version
1.3.6 (with securenets), & ypbind version 3.3-glibc3.
There are over 250 entries in the NIS passwd/shadow file on
the Solaris system so I copied these files to the new Linux
master in directory /etc/yp. Next, I updated the /var/yp/Makefile to
find the passwd in /etc/yp and followed the instructions
in the NIS Howto in setting up a master server. Everything
executed fine except after shutting down the old Solaris
server and rebooting the new Linux master server,
no one could log on. On any of the clients, I could
su to any user, execute ypmatch, and ypwhich provided the
name of the new Linux master server. The ypserv daemon
on the Linux master started with no errors.
The nsswitch.conf looks like
passwd: files nis
shadow: files nis
group: files nis
hosts: files dns nis
Any thoughts on what I may have missed or why this
is not working.

Subject: Routing problems ?
Date: Fri, 16 Apr 1999 01:22:05 GMT
Hi,
I hope some one can give me some clues about my problem.
We have a network that consist out of 2 subnets. Both subnets are connected
by a ppp link. Both ends of the ppp connection is a Linux box (both running a
2.0.36 kernel. One is a Redhat 5.2 distribution (called L1) , the other one
is a slackware (called L2)). L1 has a permanent Internet connection. L2
connect via a dial-up line to L1. Both L1 and L2 are using IP-aliasing. The
subnet containing L2 has also a few win95/98 machines in it. L1 has to route
between the Internet and the subnet containing L2.
What is the problem ? When we browse with our win95/win98 machines on the
WWW, some sides never respond to our browser. When we visit the same side
from L2 we do get the page in. L2 and the win95/98 machines are in the same
subnet. If we try an other service on the same side, using a win95/98
machine, (we use www.webcrawler.com mostly to test) say telnet
www.webcrawler.com, we have a login prompt within seconds. What goes wrong ?
I tried to trace the IP packages with tcpdump on L1 as well L2. I traced on
L1 both eth0 and ppp0. On L2 I traced also eth0 and ppp0 (L2 is the gateway
for the win95/98 machines to get out). When looking at the tcpdump output, I
can see that the initial connection between the win95/98 machine and say
webcrawler is done correctly( win95 send a few packages , webcrawler response
with acknowledgements etc.). At the moment webcrawler starts sending the data
for the page, it seems they loose their connection. Webcrawler is sending
over and over an acknowledgement to the win95/98n machine, but this
acknowledgement never arrives there. It does arrive on L1 (eth0), but never
gets routed to L1 (ppp0).
Even if I make static routes to the win95/98 on L1, we still have the same
problem.
Does this looks familiar to some one ?
Regards
Cor Wood

I am farly new to linux firewalling, and trying to build a pptp firewall.
The vpn server is on the LAN with a private ip. Browsing the net I found
tons of info regarding older kernels, but non regarding the 2.2.5 kernel.
It has new options like GRE support etc.
Does anyone know the steps I've to take to get it running on the 2.2.5

I came across your post and I remembered seeing something in a book that
I was recently studing, TCP/IP
I remember seeing something about ARP, Address Resolution Protocol, I
believe it might be something that would help you out in your question.
I presently don't have my home network (2 computers) hooked up yet so I
can't verify the info I supplied to you.
Try reading "man arv' or issue the command "arp HOSTNAME" where hosy
name is your machine you are trying to figure out.
I hope this will help you out.
Or you could look at /etc/hosts if you had previously set up your
machine.
good luck.

I should get a copy of ezppp. It is very easy to use (As long as you are

Without more information an answer is at best difficult. A guess
is that you didn't "make config" for your kernel first to configure
the hardware options and modules.

I think your in for a disappointment. My DSL install specifically stated that
only 10mb cards would work for the DSL. You may have to buy a different hub
(mine has both speeds) for the DSL portion (get dual speed sensing cards, I
recommend the netgear FX310 they installed easily on both the LINUX and win95

For some reason that does not surprise me. I, until somewhat recently,
was on a Sprint/Earthlink account....mail NEVER worked, I used my own
SMTP server for outgoing mail, and often had to telnet into their POP3
and delete messages in order to GET my mail. My news postings, until
about a week before I told them to get fucked, hardly ever made it
out...and I was unable to upload my webpages to their ftp server.
When I told them about these problems, the blamed my box...after I told
them repetedly that theirs was the ONLY server I had these problems
with. I went along for a while, tried all the passive and transfer
types they told me....eventually I had a sys admin friend look at my
box, and try to send something to my website from his...guess what, he
told me to tell them their server was fucked so I did. The person I
talked to supposedly used linux at home and "never had these problems".
Often I was unable to get through because the point of pressence sent me
jibberish or...get this...HTML (happened once, I called tech support and
got some drunk moron who didn't know ... well you get the picture)!!!
But that was when they were sprint. Besides that, they just liked to
periodically change the login script on me without notice.
Earthink is the most seriously fucked ISP you will ever find. Switch
immediately is all I can say.
Now I have a different ISP and I get my mail, can use my website, can
post to newsgroups...I am very happy. Except they also like to send
jibberish in their pop, or change the login script from one to the
other...often times within the same 5 minutes....they have 2 different
ways of doing it and which I get seems to be random. I need to figure
out how to make chat wait for one thing or the other so I don't have to
fuck with that anymore and I would be ok.
SPRYNET is the *BEST* I have ever seen or tried, or heard about. Only
problem, well used to be anyway, id they had MS only software/protocols
for tranfering websites. Now Mindspring bought them and they use
ftp....you even get your own domain like ....
http://user.home.sprynet.com/ which is kinda cool.

There is a way. download wingate for 95/nt install it. this will allow you
to access internet through the win98 machine from the linux box. then set up
another web server mapping under gatekeeper which allows input from the
world.l make the non-proxy requests setting to that to forward it to the ip
address of the linux box. if you have a static ip for your internet, then
give everyone this, or if you have a dynamic ip, you may have to check with
your isp about getting a static ip address for this purpose

Search for "modemd" . You'll need additional software for the Win*

the shareware range anymore.

Subject: Re: module or compile in kernel?
Date: Fri, 16 Apr 1999 03:19:13 GMT
module is always more convenient and memory efficient: you can unload a
module any time you don't need it. In fact, many modules are loaded and
unloaded on the fly these days, thanks to kerneld.
speed: no difference unless you are booting off of a floppy. In this case
it's faster to read a monolithic kernel then first read the kernel, then
read modules. On the other hand, since you can unload any unnecessary
modules, you can have only the most essential stuff running -- hence better
performance (until you deside to load the modules).
reliability: no difference other then you can unload a module if you know
it's buggy.
