When I installed linux on a Gateway 486 with 3c509b, I didn't have any
problem, but the installation disks warned that 3c509b may not get
autodetected properly (Debian linux) and suggested that if I had problems, to
recompile the kernel with explicitly indicating a 3c509b, and not to
autoprobe/autodetect.  Is that what you did when you say you redid the
kernel?

Except that some large subset of the earthlink outbound smtp servers
are on ORBS since they are essentially open relays. Not really open 
to anyone, just anyone with a uunet or psi dialup account. As far as
I can tell, the earthlink dialup ip addresses are NOT listed on the
DUL at dul.maps.vix.com, but the earthlink main servers ARE listed on
ORBS at relays.orbs.org.

Subject: Re: Problem with modem after kernal upgrade to 2.2.3

I resolved my problem.  The 2.2.3 kernel I was using was a pre compiled
binary RPM from Mandrake.  I had checked that all the related packages
had been updated to the correct levels etc.. still nothing worked.
Minicom - pointing to /dev/ttyS1 - could not get responses from the
modem.

I got a copy of the 2.2.5 kernel source, compiled my own, and the
problem was gone.  The only thing I can believe is that there was a
problem/mismatch with the compiled kernel and some of my other
libraries.

hi

There is the Mail-HOWTO, NET-3HOWTO, ISPhookupHOWTO(mini) (all in approximate 
spellings here). I just went through them, and the talk in MAIL is all about 
qmail that is supposed to be saver and simpler the sendmail. Simpler it has to 
be, I had it running in no time (slackware though), and the configuration 
requires little work. I liked it because it is small. However, the binaries 
are in the /var three, and I have not yet tried to get them to some /bin to be 
more file system standard. And you have to adapt the user agent to their 
system. I thought that this might interest you. The howto's are at the linux 
documentation project of course, if not in your RH package.

Armand

oh yeah, www.qmail.org. It is not in your RH package probably

Date: Mon, 19 Apr 1999 10:51:26 +0100

A Couple of points (IMHO):

1 I agree that the test was unfair on Linux, it (according to the general
consensus) was
    very badly implemented
2 This is not the first time that Mindcraft have pulled a Microsoft
"sponsored" stunt against a competitor, about six months ago I read an
article on the same site that funnily enough showed NT4 trashing NetWare 5
3 This I think you will find is about the norm.  NT biggest problem is that
is badly optimised most of the time and installed badly by badly trained
monkeys ( I should know, I'm a well trained monkey).  Every other time I
have seen any other benchmark from any other "independent" vendor that
situation has been reversed.  The Unix/Linux/NetWare Box/Whatever has been
installed by some Demi-God and the NT Box has been installed by Bobo the
chimp who is more concerned with bananas than service configuration.  Sadly
I find that situation is mirror very often in the "Real World" (or whatever
passes for it).  Just because NT has a pretty interface people can assume
that it can be treated as such.  Less of a bimbo and more of a Sharon Stone
character.
4 I forget who suggested it but perhaps the gauntlet should be thrown down
to the big vendors  and be given six hours with identical hardware.  Until
then no-one will really now which is best.  (Unix probably, after all that)

Indeed, they probably do, but the test claims to be a valid comparison
of NT and Linux webservers.  Which it patently isn't, since no Linux
server would be set up like that for genuine "enterprise" serving.  If
they had said "this is a comparison of NT and a misconfigured Linux
box unlike any you will be likely to come across in practice",
doubtless there would have been fewer complaints.

Many of us object to what they actually did, which was pass off their
tests as a valid comparison of Linux and NT that might be of use to
someone choosing between the two for some enterprise operation or
other.

I am aware of this.  Perhaps I misused "reproduce".  What I meant was
that their test is not currently of use to anyone wishing to make an
educated decision about whether to use Linux or NT as their webserver,
and secondly, that a test, conducted on the same hardware with both
machines as near to perfectly configured as can be attained, is likely
to produce a very different result.

Subject: Unsolicited network activity from Mandrake
Date: Mon, 19 Apr 1999 10:30:35 +0000

Dear All,

I have recently upgraded to Mandrake 5.3 and as I work from home a lot I
have the following network setup..

[Win & Linux PC's]--[Home Hub]--[Gandalf]--[ISDN]--[Office]

The Gandalf is a clever little box that executes an ISDN dialout when
any of the PC's on my network make a call for something outside of the
home LAN. 

Theoretically this should enable me to leave my idle Linux machine
turned on and plugged in to the hub all the time (just as I do my NT
machines) and only execute a dial out when the PC needs something.

However...

Since upgrading to Mandrake, when this unit is connected to the hub, it
never allows the line to go down, as though it is broadcasting network
packets for no explicit reason.

When I take it off the hub (leaving only two NT machines), the line will
go down after a timeout of 10 seconds - thus saving me money !

This didn't happen with RH 5.1

So ....

My questions are - 

        What has changed ?

        How do I trace what is causing the generation of an externally destined
packet ?

        How the bloody hell do I fix this without having to unplug the Linux
box from the hub        
        whenever I'm not using it ?

Any help gratefully received - this is driving me round the bend !

Jason Pepper

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has experience with this.  I am trying

instructions on the IP-Masq how-to.  I have set the port-forwarder to
forward 20 TCP ports to the machine with ICQ.  I have also configured
ICQ to use those ports.  Running the firewall test passes.

The problem I'm having is in connecting to the server to look up users.
Everything else seems to work, but the user-lookup just seems to hang.
Any clues?

I am running a 2.0.36 kernal with the port-forwarding patch.

*NOT* Surprisingly, there are a couple of MS Windows books which document the

Anyway, just go to www.amazon.com, and type in the query "Windows

Linux is very well documented for a non-corporate organisation.  IMHO,
documentation is even better some other commercial OSes out there.

I am getting "Kernel ARP: arp called for own IP address" w/"last message
repeated xxx times" in /var/log/messages.  This is in a SuSE 6.0
installation with the 2.0.36 kernel.

This is a box with three NICs, one (eth0) to the outside world with a
real static IP address, and two to masqueraded internal LANs with
addresses 192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.2.0/24, respectively.

I am also having difficulty pinging the inside interfaces (eth 1 & eth2)
FROM the LAN workstations.  _Sometimes_ I can ping from this box TO a
host on one of the LANs until I try to ping back to it simultaneously
from one of the LAN (Win9x) workstations at which time the outgoing ping
begins to fail.  This also seems to provoke the arp messages.

The LAN workstations also cannot see anything beyond the tri-homed host,
but I want to eliminate this problem first.  I have tried "route add
-host 192.168.1.1 eth1" sort of commands to all interfaces as
recommended a couple of years ago in kernel discussion archives, but
that hasn't fixed the problem.  Any ideas?
