Sorry for the incompleteness of my supplied information.. The /proc/ioports
and /proc/interrupts file streams did not contain the needed address block or
interrupt.
I had tried switching the PCI cards to the different slots. No change. I
have tried your sugestions, except or recompiling the kernel, without
success. I hadn't recompiled the kernel because reading various newsgroups,
I figured I didn't have to because I am using Redhat 5.2. But in thinking
about it, the kernel probably wasn't compiled with the 'experimental' option
on. Since the rtl8139 driver is still considered experimental, that will be
my next course of action. Thanks!

Subject: Dialing PPP doing browse on LAN. Why?
Date: Tue, 27 Apr 1999 13:06:29 -0500
Hello all,
I'm using Slackware (Linux 2.0.35) and have setup PPP (dynamic IP), diald,
samba, and ethernet on a LAN with NT machines according to the HOWTO's.
Everything works very well except that when I browse (from Windows
Explorer - not the browser) from one of the NT machines to the Linux
machine, the PPP link dials on the Linux machine. It doesn't do that when I
browse the other machines though.
I'm assuming it's a routing problem? Which program is affecting this? diald?
samba? general networking? I appreciate any help on this.

no need to go through such hoops. both use the unix lpr printing system,
which supports network printing. simply add an entry to the solaris
printer config (forget the name, but there should be an admin tool to do
it) pointing to the print queue on the linux machine.

You would have to determine which number to call based on the network
request you made. The work-related FQDNs or IP addresses might be used
to determine the correct number to call but it's doubtful that anyone has
implemented this. Certainly not in pppd and probably not even in diald.

Subject: eth0 config strangeness
Date: Mon, 26 Apr 1999 22:08:21 +0100
Hi.
I was trying to configure IP for my ethernet card which is an NE2100 PCI
clone (driver is pcnet32) on my RH5.1 but I'm witnessing some weird
behaviour.
I've compiled support for this card directly into the kernel so no need
to load modules.
I tried configuring eth0 for this card by installing an ifcfg-eth0
settings file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
The file looks like this:
DEVICE=eth0
IPADDR=192.168.2.100
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.2.0
BROADCAST=192.168.2.255
ONBOOT=yes
I start the system which goes through its usual routine, but when it
enters run level 3 (my default runlevel) it halts and I have to reboot.
The halt is definitely network related because if I break in with a
rescue disk and set the ONBOOT parameter of the ifcfg-eth0 file to 'no'
and reboot, the system will come up as usual. (Be it with eth0
unconfigured)
I can then use ifconfig to manually configure eth0 with no problems.
The only automated way I've found of configuring eth0 is to install an
'ether' script in /etc/rc.d/init.d and link it to S and K scripts in
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d
Anyone know what could be happening?
Aren't ifcfg-* scripts the standard way of configuring interfaces?
Help!!! (and thanks),
._C

If the server you are trying to access is running samba and the
directory you are trying to mount is shared, I don't see any reason why
not. And as long as there are no windows boxes involved the filename
cases will be preserved.

Look for some other process that uses the same IRQ as is configured
for the modem in Linux. PnP things sometimes configure differently
under Linux than some other OS. Jumper the port/IRQ if you can so
you'll know what it's using.
"Setserial /dev/ttySx" will show the port and IRQ that the device file
/dev/ttySx is configured to use. "Cat /dev/proc/interrupts" shows the

Subject: Set up DNS to resolve hostname to hostname:port?
Date: Tue, 27 Apr 1999 19:20:49 GMT
I'm running Red Hat Linux 5.1 and have a DNS server running, and I've looked
through DejaNews and read up on DNS and BIND but can't find the answer to my
question, so I'm wondering if perhaps somebody here knows the answer. (And if
the answer is "You can't do that," if they have any ideas on what I could do
instead. <g>)
I want to have a hostname, say virtualhost.domain.com, map to another host
and a port, like realhost.domain.com:8081. Is this possible? Both
virtualhost.domain.com and realhost.domain.com would be the same machine.
The ultimate goal is to be able to have people go to
http://virtualhost.domain.com and get redirected to
http://realhost.domain.com:8081, which would in turn redirect to a machine on
the LAN, say http://xxx.xxx.x.xxx:80. (I had 192.168.1.80 in there, but
Dejanews freaked out about posting an "IP URL.") The resolution of
virtualhost.domain.com to realhost.domain.com:8081 would have to be done at
the DNS level and not the http level (i.e. Apache virtualserver is not going
to help here, and neither is the Redirect directive, because redirecting
virtualhost.domain.com to 192.168.1.80 will make the client itself look for
192.168.1.80, and of course it won't be able to find it on my LAN). All of
the machines on my LAN have only a 192.168.1.xxx address and are only
connected to the Internet through the Linux machine, via IP masquerading and
the like.
Currently I'm using "redir" to redirect port 8081 on the realhost.domain.com
machine to port 80 of the localmachine.domain.com machine, with the effect
that anybody can get pages off of that http server by doing
http://realhost.domain.com:8081. But I need to avoid using port numbers at
all, so I wonder if it's possible to resolve virtualhost.domain.com at a DNS
level to realhost.domain.com:8081. If not, I guess I'll have to pay for
additional "real" IP addresses and directly connect the localhost.domain.com
machines to the Internet...

I'm kind of new to Linux, but I'll pass on my experience
anyway. I had trouble getting Linux to recognise my external
USR modem - until I went into the BIOS and reset the
serial ports to their default settings, and turned off anything
to do with PnP-managed stuff. It was (is) an old motherboard
from an old Win95 PC, and I'd obviously done some messing
around in the BIOS before.
You could also try sending the modem whatever AT command
it is to reset it to factory defaults in case Win95 has some
summat nasty...

Date: Thu, 22 Apr 1999 07:48:34 GMT
A friend plans to host websites through a DSL connection. The bandwidth
is cheap, but unreliable. He wants to use a router machine running RH5.2.
Both a 56K modem and a DSL router will reside in his router machine. When
DSL fails, he wants the 56K to kick in until he can arrive to fix it.
I'm skeptical of this plan, but he says it's just for getting started. He
plans to upgrade to T1s when he gets enough business, and perhaps switch
back to DSL when the technology becomes more robust.
Bottomline: Regardless of what you think of his plan, what's the best
way to implement it? He'll somehow need to detect a loss of carrier on
the DSL line and reestablish a connection through the 56K modem...
Periodically test the DSL for reactivation... and switch back when
DSL restarts. What's the best (not just easiest, but also most effective)
way to do this?
Critiques of his plan and suggested alternatives are welcome, but would
respondants please also answer my basic question? Thanks.

There is no need for this; logging on as root should be discouraged.
Log in with your normal user account and use 'su' to gain exactly same
priviledges as root.

Yes, SAMBA runs on most Unix-like OSs including SunOS & Solaris.
