Thanks. Now I know who to blame when it raises it's ugly head again.
I'd recommend sticking with plain "debug" rather than kdebug, at least
at first. Most of the time more is not better (is less? :/) for PPP
negotiation logs and kdebug hex dump of frames will just get in the way
of understanding the significant debug messages.

Hi,
We have exaclty the same problem. We have hacked it into working but you
really dont want to see the solution!
If we use user land nfs then when anyone clicks "send new message" under
netscape there box locks up. With kernel nfs, it exports everything
read-write to the world, but read only to us !!
This is starting to upset us, please someone help!!
we've been using varius mixes of kernels 2.2.3 upto 2.2.7 on both client and
server side.
Using the 'old' 2.0.36 kernel breaks some of the older solaris boxes we have.
It pains me to say this but our new server is less reliable than the solaris
box it replaced. (and it was replaced due to unreliablility!)

I have two RTL8139A clone NICs (brand=Spirit Modems) that don't
work very well with 2.0.X or 2.2.X drivers. Both drivers recognize
the cards and give no error messages, and Becker's RTL8139 diagnostic
test says the card is OK. The card sends/receives a few hundred
bytes and then locks up for several mins. Both cards have been tried
on 100B and 10B, full and half-duplex, lines and in several machines,
all with the same result--it's not a H/W problem. Spirit have told me
that they've not modified the chipset in any way, except for the PCI ID.
Any ideas?

thank you bill.
linux is a great os. but, unlike some of the other "OS"'s out there, if
you spend some time to learn how to manipulate your system from the
command line and NOT the GUI, it will serve you much better. There is a
huge push to make linux more like the other mainstream GUI OS's, and I
don't have a problem with that, but I do recommend learning to
manipulate it from GUI AND commandline. you learn more, not only about
your system, but about computing in general, which is what i believe
linux is all about.

Subject: Redhat 6.0... the good, the bad, and the ugly
Date: Tue, 4 May 1999 09:52:16 -0400
Hello Everybody,
I just did two Redhat 6.0 installs over the weekend and thought some people
might like to read some comments. Overall I'm really impressed. Every
Redhat version since 3.0.3 has raised my expectations of Linux and not let
me down.
The good:
The single disk ftp install is great. It's also nice to test the X setup
during install.
The bootup process is nicer since they added green OKs (Red faileds) and
changed the X login screen to a much more stylish graphic.
I LOVE the login option to select Gnome, KDE, etc on login. Great job
Redhat!
The desktops keep getting better all the time, this is no exception. This
is my first experience using Gnome and I love it. Just need better
installed themes now. Can't they work a deal with www.themes.org or
something?
All my hardware (with the exception of my Hauppauge tuner card) works
flawlessly. Ensonique sound, Riva128 video, 13G seagate drive and ne2000
network included.
The Bad:
I've had a few hard locks. Ouch! Some of my first with Linux (which i've
been using for over 3 years). Not a good trend to start.
LICQ segment faults now... could be LICQ though.
Still haven't got XawTV working with my Hauppauge tuner card. I'll have to
mess around with hand loading modules like I had to do with Redhat
5.2+2.2.5. Just hoping I wouldn't have to.
The Ugly:
The Ultima Online client will not run under Gnome but will under WindowMaker
(without sound though, but that's Origin's prob).
DHCP will not work with my Cable modem. My workstations DHCP fine to my
Linux DHCP server though. This one really hurts and prevents me from
upgrading my firewall until it's fixed. I'm told that Redhat now uses a
program called pump instead of dhcpcd.

Hi there !
To overcome your problem do as below.
1- Launch the registry editor as follows in your windows machine.
Click on : /Start/Run
Type "regedit" and press enter.
2 - Dbl click on on : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
3 - Locate te following key:
/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/VxD/VNETSUP
4 - From the menu bar select Edit/New/Dword Value.
5 - Rename the entry from "New Value #1" to :
EnablePlainTextPassword
6 - Press Enter, then double click on the new entry.
A dialog box will pop up and enable you to set a value.
You must set this value to 1.
That's all.

Subject: Help configuring VIF on a machine running NIS
Date: Tue, 4 May 1999 16:50:45 +0900
I have an SS2 running SunOS4.1.3 which is configured as the
domain name server, mail server of a small domain. It is also
configured to be NIS server so that telnet/ftp can lookup the
DNS database.
I am now trying to set up a virtual interface on this machine so that
it can respond to another IP address on the same subnet and thus
I can have a virtual domain/host.
I downloaded VIF and modloaded it. Everything is fine. However
when I ifconfig the new IP address, I can no longer access any
of the addresses in the NIS maps. Also I cannot lookup any address
in the DNS maps and nslookup tells me that the DNS server is not
responding.
Pinging to any other machine in the subnet hangs. I can only ping to the
IP of the new IP address on the virtual interface vif0. Everything on le0
is unreachable.
Any clues as to how I can fix this?
Thanks.

Never had that, but every now and than when booting up the server, Samba

The only "solution" I was able to find, was stopping and starting the

Not much for a solution, but if you can telnet to the server it _is_ an

Subject: another ip_masq problem
Date: 4 May 1999 16:32:31 GMT
I'm running into strange problems with my ip masquerading setup. I have a
box running RH5.2 that's doing a fine job of masquerading ip for my win98
and win95 machines setup on a private network. Recently I installed a
dual boot for RH5.2 on the win98 machine and I forwarding doesn't seem to
work at all for the win98/linux when running linux. I did add a route in
linux to the ip_masq machine, which allowed me to get a response back from
my ping.... but I could not get any name resolution to occur between the
two linux boxes and I don't even think it is forwarding the packets, if it
is, they never come back to the originating linux box.
Any ideas on why masquerading would work for windoze and not another linux
machine??? Thanks everyone

The ppp packages from 2.2.0 onward have a file called README.cbcp that
explains what to do to compile pppd for limited CBCP support. What's
missing is a mention of the necessary option. It's "cbcp xxx-xxxx" for
2.2.0 and "callback xxx-xxxx" for 2.3.x, where xxx-xxxx is the number to
call back.
There's a script named "callback" in the ppp package's script directory
that seems to be made for use with the pppd "connect" option. It can
be used as a guide for using chat to call and then call back.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi,
I can't configure my internet connection under linux.
I've written the following script (of course replacing stuff between <> by my
own ones ):
pppd connect 'chat -v "" ATD<YOUR_NUMBER> CONNECT "" ogin:<YOUR_LOGIN>
word:<YOUR_PASSWORD>' /dev/modem <YOUR_MODEM_SPEED> -detach debug crtscts
modem defaultroute &
The modem lightens as if the connection is working. However, after a moment
the light turns as if the connection was off. I aslo tried the same script
replacing /dev/modem with /dev/cua1 unsuccessfully.
When I check the ifconfig file, nothing has been added while I try connecting
with the script. Here what it contains:
lo link encap:Local loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:127.255.255.255 Mask 255.0.0.0
UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3584 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
My resolv.conf file contains the follwing :

What else? Oh yes, I tried ping unsuccessfully.
On X-Windows, I tried to use the "visual" network configuration tool
unsuccessfully.
I have no idea what to try next and I asking for your help to found a
solution. Thanks!
Here are some info that may help:

Please forgive me if I belabor issues that

any of the following assumptions are false:
1. You set the DISPLAY environment variable
on your Linux box to reflect the net name of
your Mac rather than "pcaddress".
2. You can successfully ping that same name.
3. When you start the X server, no errors are
observed on the Mac side at that time.
4. Your laptop is your Linux box.
5. When you attempt to start the X client on
your Linux box, no errors are observable from
whatever display you use to make the attempt.
6. If you start MiX in the default way, and set
DISPLAY per above, then enter "xterm &" on
the Linux console, you get to interact with a
Linux shell thru a single window on the Mac.
(The assumption is that your MiX setup is
OK and the unsolved problem is merely to
get a different window/desktop manager
to run instead of MiX's TWM look-alike.

Probably, but unless one of the above
assumptions is wrong, I don't know what.

Been there, done that. All it takes is network routes with no gateway
to all the various networks point to the appropiate interface (let me
guess this is eth0). Example:
Assuming the 10.254.252.0 and 10.254.250.0 networks are run on the
network connected to eth0 and our host is 10.254.252.42 the following
does the trick.
ifconfig eth0 10.254.252.42 netmask 255.255.255.90 up
route add -net 10.254.252.0 eth0
route add 0bet 10.254.250.0 eth0
or the equivilent in editted configuration files. Consult your startup
scriptsm the route and ifconfig man pages for detials. The machine I
had in mind needed the extra network route to reach its default
gateway to the outside world.
