I never had this problem with Redhat 5.0. I noticed it when I upgraded to 5.2.
I stumbled across the solution (changing the hostname from localhost) a few
weeks a few weeks later.

If using 2.0 kernel install "ipfwadm" - all the facts are in the how-to and
go to http://www.xos.nl/linux/ipfwadm/ for examples.
If using 2.2 kernel install "ipchains" and all the instructions are in the
how-to. I highly recommend ipchains over ipfwadmn. More options and easier
to configure. Many of the samples on the net are erroneous. If you'd like
some convoluted samples let me know.

I have regular uptimes on machines around 90 days.
The last 4 or 5 times that I have had to reboot are due to upgrading
hardware, (adding memory or hdd) updating to latest kernel or accidentally
telinit 6 when I was telnetted into machine.
I run around 15 servers, the only time I have ever had problems, were
when I had hardware failures, and on the odd occasion, power failures.

to reboot approx 12 times to make a couple of simple config changes)

Subject: Re: Printing to Apple LaserWriter 8500 remote
Date: 1 May 1999 17:59:43 GMT
I don't have my linux box in front of me right now but I use netatalk and setup
the 8500 as a local printer but do not have lp as its first entry (I have tried
lp on occassion and it does work) , I use its actual name. I have its device
directed to a null file. I of course have its own spool file and the filter is
/usr/lib/atalkfilters/ofpap. The links to the psf file that netatalk installs
are wrong and must be changed to point to the psf file.
I actually have 3 laserwrtiers set up that way. When I go to print from X, I
just type in which of the 3 printer's names that I want to use and bang it's
there including the 8500.The 8500 should not be any different than the other
laserwriters. We use 6 8500's in various places in our district but I am only
able to reach one of them with our particular network. You could also try using
an ip address for the 8500 because I think it has that capability.
If you cannot see the 8500 with nbplkup there must be something drastically
wrong with it. The 8500 autosenses what comes into it. Does nbplkup use
appletalk? and do you have netatlk installed?
Sorry my response is kind of crytic but I have found making this all to work
very frustrating myself. It took me a month of 2-3 nours a night just to get my
2nd mac to even print through the linux box to the laserwriter. I have an
identical printer at work and cart my powermac cpu home every night so I can
work on this. eventually I will have a web page for this once I get it all
figured out and Louis of the how-to fame told me I could post the how-to there.
BTW his page helped me create a new kernel and has been a godsend of info.
Appletalk works better already incorporated in the kernel.
My papd file looks like this
8500:\
:pr=lp:\ (Which does work but gives me only the 8500 as an option, but I
have also substituted 8500 and /lpr -P8500 here to no avail)
:pd=/dev/spool/folderforppds/LaserWriter_8500:\
:op=netatalk: (I have also tried a users name and daemon and lp)
the papd file is only needed if you go outside the linux box that has it on.
I know I have probably throughly confused everybody.

I have a RedHat 5.2 machine running Samba(v 1.9.18p10-3). I edited the
default smb.conf putting entries for the groupname, added a share, and added
some allowable hosts. I ran testparm, which found no errors, but I can't see
it on the network (I even ran a 'Find Computer...' for it w/ no success). I
can't map a drive to the share I created either. Any ideas?

Well, I've had no trouble at all with 3c905B-TX cards (got 'em in 4
machines, three of which run RedHat 5.2 [1 is dedicated Linux-only, the
other two are occasionally used in Linux]), except that the module for
3c905/3c509 cards (3c59x) uses 10Mbps mode unless you specifically tell
it otherwise. This can be done by putting "options=4" in the options for
that module[1].
I found the info on the module options for the module 3c59x at the
following URL:
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/vortex.html
I think you may find that this has all the info you need on module
options for your card. Presumably it'll include info on setting things
like IRQ manually as well. I think it does.
Regards,
sj
[1] IIRC, add the line "options 3c59x options=4" to /etc/conf.modules

I am using @home and a redhat 5.2 router/firewall for my home network. I
just got a 10/100 mbs hub so i can run 100mbs on my network at home. The
problem is i don't think that my linux box is running at 100mbs because the
light on my hub is not running.
The NIC card that is going to my cable modem is a 3com 3c900 and the one
going to my network is a 3c905B.
Before i got this 10/100 hub i just had a 10 hub and it worked fine and so
does my network now and all of my machines do run at 100 except my linux
box... So I hope someone can help me

Subject: Re: DHCP - UDP packet error between Win95 & Linux - need help!
Stephen,
I don't understand the root cause, but the problem is now resolved. I
had tried several different /etc/dhcpd.conf configurations and also a
copy of dhcp v3 that I found. Nothing worked or appeared to have any
effect.
This morning I went to rpmfind.net and got a copy of dhcp-2.0 from the
Redhat-6.0 RPMS directory. I did a forced update, i.e., "rpm -Uvh
--force dhcp-2*" and restarted everything. Now it all works. Even the
Network Neighborhood on the Win95 sees the shares from the linux box. I
can only believe the original package I was using was in some way
corrupted.
I had been looking in /var/log/messages for messages tagged with "dhcpd"
and never saw any that indicated the server had seen a request from the
Win95 system. Now they are there along with the replies.
I sincerely appreciate your efforts to help me get this service running.

I was able to significantly improve the efficeincy of my LAN by setting up
WINS servers. When WINS is available, Windows will use that instead of NBNS
to find the other machines on the LAN over TCP/IP. In my case, I have a
firewall with an option to include the WINS server addresses in DHCP so the
client systems know about it automagically with no need to go around and
reconfigure each Windows system to tell it what the WINS server addresses
are. I assume there is an FAQ out there on how to set up WINS server
addresses in DHCP for those of you without bonehead-usable firewalls like
mine.

I am running m68k debian on a Mac II, so that I can set up ip

Do I modify /etc/init.d/network to add ipconfig eth1 so that it will

dhcpc? eth0 is going to link to my hub, so do I have to do something
