Same driver for multiple cards - Red Had only used 3 SMC modules as well.
I was looking forward to installing SuSe 6.1 but i'm getting concerned about
all these NIC problems showing up with SuSe. Should be interesting.

A start
In the ifconfig text you are showing no RX or TX packets - a dead line. Your
card is starting without errors and setting speed to 10mb. I'd first assume
the card is OK. I assume you are correct about the router A.B.C address and
your A.B.C address being the same and the same subnet mask 255.255.255.0. If
so are the lights blinking on the back of your NIC and if the router has a
LAN activity light is it blinking or on when your system starts.
1. No activity lights - try new cable first
2. Still no activity lights - try changing your system bios to ISA instead
of PNP for IRQ 9. Did that reflect on startup in ifconfig. Still no
activity - change NICS

Only if the directory contains only files. If there's subdirectories,
you've got problems... That's the nice thing about stuff like WS_Ftp
(which doesn't work through my ipmasq (yet?)... boohoo!) ... they'll PUT
whole dir trees. Supposedly it's a feature that's expected RSN in ncftp

Subject: Re: Mail server for multiple domain using a single IP address
Date: Sat, 01 May 1999 16:36:41 GMT
If you are administering DNS for your domain(s) then you would have to
create a Address record in one of your zone files and point an MX
record back to that Address. Then in every other zone you wanted to
have use that mail server address you can point a Cname record back to
the other i.p.
Example:
In the zone file you have the following for zone domain1.com
mail.domain1.com. IN A 192.168.0.1
*.domain1.com. IN MX 10 mail.domain1.com.
In the zone file for domain2.com:
mail.domain2.com. CNAME mail.domain1.com.
*.domain2.com. IN MX 10 mail.domain2.com.
In the zone file for domain3.com:
mail.domain3.com. CNAME mail.domain1.com.
*.domain3.com. IN MX 10 mail.domain3.com.
And so forth. Doing it this way allows the DNS to point many differnet
domains back to the same mail server i.p. Then it is just as simple to
configure the mail server for the multiple domains by adding all the
domain names the server will answer for in /etc/sendmail.cw file
(assuming your using sendmail for smtp).
sendmail.cw
domain1.com
domain2.com
domain3.com
Once you have the changes made, restart the sendmail process and the
server will now answer all SMTP requests for the domains you have
specified. After that it is a simple as modifying your /etc/aliases
file to configure who get's what email and your set.

mist,
You misunderstood, the response was not to you but to the config from Mac
originally. But for the benefit of Anjan Sen the command below is the one he
used and it will work without producing errors. It is the same command as on
the ipchains author's site. Try it yourself (use eth0 if you don't use ppp).
So the question remains why is there no "forward" chain, not if we agree on
the syntax.
didn't intend to start an argument - just find the cause of problem.

Well, at a guess, are you actually just typing
/proc/net/ip_forward
? This would try to run /proc/net/ipforward, which is not what you need
to do.
You need to be typing
echo 1> /proc/net/ip_forward
but in any case you're missing half the path, it should be
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
<snip>
Then you actually have to set the forwarding rules up with ipfwadm or
ipchains, depending on what kernel you are using.

Rather than simply giving a "No" answer (which leaves too many other
potential questions like "ok, so what characters ARE valid?"), here's
the scoop, according to the RFC's...
#1...
Currently DNS is NOT case sensitive:
ABC.COM
abc.com
AbC.CoM etc., are all treated the same, although the docs
suggest that case-sensitivity MAY be added later - my advice is to use
all lowercase until such time as uppercase is considered an issue...
#2...
Valid characters include ONLY letters, numbers, and hyphens (the dash
symbol "-") This means you can ONLY choose from A-Z, a-z (see #1
above), 0-9, and the hyphen "-" These characters must come from the
US/Western character set (the "-1" NLS character set), so tilde'd n's
and such are not valid.
#3...
Entries consisting ONLY of numbers are NOT valid (ex: 123.foo.bar)
VALID entries must contain AT LEAST ONE alpha character
(123abc.foo.bar). Note that it makes no difference if an entry begins
with a letter or a number (ex: 3com.com). Likewise, names consisting
of only hyphens are not valid for the same reason.
#4...
Spaces are NOT valid.
I inherited one heck of a DNS mess at the company I recently started
working at, with countless RFC-violations in the working DNS there
(PLENTY of underscores, etc), as well as many stupid things like
wildcard MX records, etc.) It looks like people assume wrongly that
you can take any NetBIOS name (alot of NetWare and NT people there)
and simply slap a domain name on the end of a hostname to create a
valid DNS table.
One example that contributes to this mess is the fact the NetWare
actually suggests the use of underscores in things like printer names.
So names like ACCT_HPLJ4_PS result. This is fine in a NetBIOS world,
but "acct_hplj4_ps.company.com" is NOT valid in the DNS world.
Note that NetBIOS is FAR MORE liberal with the allowed characters
(including the use of spaces!). If you want to create NetBIOS names,
then read the NetBIOS RFCs. When converting over to DNS, understand
that it's a different service, and has it's own set of rules (its' own
RFCs).
Hope this info helps.

Not sure if this is the right group to post this, but here goes.
System: pentium running slackware 3.6, nothing relevent to these
questions was changed before configuring the ftp server.
Got BeroFTPD, compiled with option --enable-ratios, edited
/etc/ftpaccess appropriately, and I am having a few problems with it.
1. I put the "magic cookies" that tell you the ratio and such into
the welcome file... set up the ratios and such in the ftpaccess file
(dl-ul-ratio * 5 or somesuch), started up the ftp server, and it tells
me there is no ratio. Tried to download something, and it said I
didn't have enough credit. So it IS working, it's just not telling me
what the ratio is. This was just put in to test it. Glad I put it
in. ;)
2. Set up the ftpaccess file to accept uploads into
/home/ftp/incoming. Log in to the ftp server, try to upload something
in that directory... tells me the permissions are wrong and drops me
off of the server. Tried tweaking permissions, changing ownership on
the directories, everything. Had this problem a year or so ago with
wu-ftpd too. Never was able to get it fixed.
That's it... thx for the help. If these is a better group I can post
this on, please tell me.

Lance,
Where did you get info for configuring MPPP? I have an Ascend P-75 router that
I use regularly with Win95 and an ISDN line. I just installed Redhat 5.2 from
the CD in the back of Hall's book "Linux for Dummies" and I can not find any
info for configuring Linux to talk to a router with MPPP. All I have is info
on setting up PPP with an analog modem. I have look at two other books,
Sobell's "A Practical Guide to Linux and also the Redhat User Guide, but no
luck.
Any pointer would be greatly appreciated.

You need to use SAMBA which is included with most Linux distributions.
I allows the use of the Network Neighborhood feature of Windows along
with network printer support. I have never implemented such a thing so I
will leave the details as an exercise for you ;-)

Let's try this again...
I'm having an identical problem trying to connect from Linux to Win95.
I've tried Class A, B, and C addressing, all manner of network masks,
and of course the standard addresses as you show below, with the
commands executed as you recommend. Still no connectivity between
hosts...
I've disconnected and reconfigured them individually to communicate over
my @Home cable modem, and each works flawlessly when this is done. They
simply don't want to talk to eachother! I have noticed that when I
connect the cable modem to either box, I get plenty of traffic
indication on the NIC lights. However, when the two boxes are connected
via their NICs, there is no activity.
I'm using a NetGear FA310TX Rev-D1 (with latest Tulip drivers as of two
nights ago) in the Linux box, and a 3COM 3C905B-TX PCI in the Win95 box.
Any thoughts most GREATly appreciated! ;-)
cheers,
Ron

Having exactly the same problem, Steve -- if I get a response about it,
I'll pass it along. If you'd be so kind as to do the same, I'd be most
grateful.
cheers,

You could do this via Samba (http://www.samba.org/). This will allow
you to configure Linux as a fileserver and connect the client
workstaitons.

"The workstations are all running one pretty big database
application."
This may pose several issues in itself which may limit your options
for server OS. The database application, does it run off the server
volume or localy? Is the database file itself run on a SQL engine or
what database engine is it run on? You can find SQL database engines
for Linux without trouble, just want to make sure you've thought of
all angles before jumping into Linux, eliminating NT, then having your
server offline for extended period of time while working out all the
bugs.

I don't have a /var/log/security file, but all the TCP
wrapper stuff is logged to /var/log/messages. At any
rate, when a connection is received only the name
of the host, not its IP address, is logged. The name is
the one that I have in the hosts.deny file all right. Any
other suggestions?
