Absolutely right. Use Samba and you map a drive to any partition or
directory shared on the Linux system. You also avoid running additional
third party software on NT.

Version 2.3.6 of pppd broke some other things for me. I downloaded

To followup myself, after figuring out how to put pppd into a more
verbose debugging mode, I kept seeing "<asyncmap 0xa0000>" in the
log. So I just changed "asyncmap 0" to "asyncmap 0xa0000" in ifcfg-ppp0

Yeah.
Just write a PERL script and place it in your cgi-bin directory. Then
have a web page with a SUBMIT button that will run the script once the

Would that work?

Subject: ne2k-pci driver problems
Date: Sat, 01 May 1999 11:58:35 -0400
Hello.
The other day I tried to compile the 2.2.1 kernel, so that I could
include sound capability. Well, now my sound card works great, but the
network card is not working at all. When I start the computer, the card
is probed fine, but just after the filesystems are mounted (or just
before the init scripts start to execute, I'm not sure which) I get an
error message:
SIOCADDRT: Operation not supported by device
I get the same message when I run 'route'. As a result (I assume), I
cant obtain a DHCP address from my networks dhcp server. However, I can
configure an ip address using ifconfig, and connect to the router on
that subnet.
I compiled the kernel using the ne2k-pci driver. I tried it bith as a
module, not as a module. I also tried using the NE1000/NE2000 driver.
I have a pci ne2000 clone, its pretty cheap. It came with my computer,
so I dont know who made it (but if I were to take a stab in the dark, it
would be SiS, they make just about everything else that came with my
computer). According to the probe run by ne2k-pci.o, The chip is
RealTek 8029, but I have no way to verify this.
Also, when I try to use my old kernel - 2.0.34 - instead (with which the
network card worked before), I get even more errors!
I'm running Debian 2.1, and using their 'kernel-sources' package, if
that makes any difference to anyone.
Any help would be ***greatly*** appreciated!
Thanks

Subject: PPP with PCMCIA
I'm trying to set up a PPP connection through a PC card modem (a Pretec 56k, not a
WinModem) on my Dell laptop. The modem works under Windows. Under Linux, I've got
problems up to my ears.
First, Linux doesn't seem to recognize the modem. I get an I/O error when I enter
"setserial /dev/ttys2 ...." (The modem shows up on COM3 under Windows.) I've tried to
test the modem with minicom, but I can't quite figure out how to make this work.
When I try to run the ppp-on script, I get an error message from pppd telling me that
my kernel doesn't have PPP support. But I'm almost certain it does. I've tried this
using both the 2.0.x kernel shipped with Red Hat 5.2 and a version of 2.2.3. I don't
really want to recompile the kernel, and it's hard to believe this should be
necessary. What could be causing this message?
Is this a PCMCIA configuration problem, or a PPP problem, or both? Any advice?

Date: Sat, 01 May 1999 16:58:01 -0500
Howdy all -
I dug around and couldn't find an answer to this very quickly, so if
this fix is common knowledge, please forgive me for wasting bandwidth.
If you compile a new kernel in RedHat 6 and at boot you get the error
nfssvc: function not implemented
then you need to recompile your kernel with "Prompt for Development
and/or incomplete code/drivers" (CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL) set to Yes.
I found this out after I compiled kernel 2.2.7 on RedHat 6.0 yesterday.
I am running a production box, so I am pretty conservative with my
kernel settings - no experimental settings enabled. I enabled all the
available NFS services (except emulate Sun NFS) in make xconfig. After
reboot, rpc.nfsd reported the error:
nfssvc: function not implemented
and my machine would not serve NFS. Very odd. I recompiled the kernel
twice, double checking that all the available NFS server settings there
were enabled. Still no dice. Then I finally found a posting by Dominik
Kubla on a European server
(http://banyan.dlut.edu.cn/news/022499/832.html) and I enabled
CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL. I then found the extra NFS server setting
available in network file systems. I enabled it, and now I have a happy
Linux box. I think that the new RH uses the new (experimental?) kernel
space NFS server instead of the user-space one, and this has to be
enabled in the kernel.
Side note - anyone have any opinions on using this "experimental"
setting in a production operating system?
I am posting this so that any other folks new to RH (I am an old
Slackware guy) who have a hard time fingering this out can find it with
a quick Dejanews search.

I am having problems mounting a Directory from 1 computer onto another
computer. I am trying to learn about networking and web servers. I
have 2 computers, a Pentium 60 MHz (i.e., "POWERSPEC") and a Pentium Pro
200 MHz (i.e., "MICRON"), both running RED HAT 5.2. I have networked
them peer-to-peer and can ping each computer from the other. I want to
export Files from the "/tmp" and "/home/Dan" directories on my
MICRON computer to my POWERSPEC computer. "/tmp" and "/home/Dan" exist
and contain files on both computers. On my MICRON computer I have
edited my "/etc/exports" file to read:
/tmp powerspec.computers.net(ro)
/home/Dan powerspec.computers.net(ro)
I edited the "/etc/fstab" file on my POWERSPEC computer to read:
micron:/tmp /tmp nfs user,noauto,ro 0 0
micron:/home/Dan /home/Dan nfs user,noauto,ro 0 0
I can mount "/tmp" from my MICRON computer just fine on my POWERSPEC
computer. On my POWERSPEC computer I type:
mount micron:/tmp /tmp
However, I cannot mount "/home/Dan" from my MICRON computer on my
POWERSPEC computer. On my POWERSPEC computer I type:
mount micron:/home/Dan /home/Dan
When I then type "ls -l" on my POWERSPEC computer, the computer responds
that 0 files are present. When I unmount "micron:/home/Dan" and then
type "ls -l", the computer lists all of the files in my
POWERSPEC "/home/Dan" directory. I asked my brother-in-law the
UNIX Guru about it, but he said I was doing everything right and did not
know what the problem was. I would appreciate any help on this
problem. I would really like to know why I can mount "/tmp" but not
"/home/Dan". TIA

If you've never made up BNC cables, be prepared for a bad one. It's
an acquired skill. (And I'm not sure you'll save money. I've seen
cables from China --made by slave labor I'm sure-- that were priced
cheaper than I could by the parts for.)
Another caveat... I once spent about 3 days configuring and reconfiguring
and reconfiguring a network, trying to make it work. Finally, at another's
suggestion, got out the ohmmeter and found that one of the 50-ohm terminators
(brand-new) read 0 ohms.

Have you restarted the Linux box since putting the hub in, or did you
just replace the existing hub that was there without downing the
workstations? The 3COM card won't pick 100mbs on the fly real well, a
full restart should force it to redetect the connection before it gets
