Subject: Can I do PPP over Ethernet?
Date: Tue, 04 May 1999 19:05:16 GMT
Rumour has it that when the ADSL deployment picks up here again clients
will have to support PPP over Ethernet to connect to the 'net. I've
tried searching for information on this, but all I have found on the
net are proposals. Any pointers to source code, or even a project page
would be greatly appreciated (there's probably a half dozen people just
in my office that want this information).

Yes it has ipfwadm, but not ipautofw. You need to custom compile a kernel
and add the ipautofw util for that.

Subject: Re: ne2k-pci driver problems
Date: Tue, 04 May 1999 22:14:36 GMT
Maybe I can help. I have a RTL-8029 based PCI ethernet card that I run
using the 'ne' module and the address 6500h. I set this up in the
/etc/rc.d/rc.modules file like this:
/sbin/modprobe ne io=0x6500 #RTL-8029 based ehternet card
I know that the card is PCI but I assume that the reason that the ISA driver
works better is because of the base address of the card (which is rather
high for an NE2000). I tried this with the PCI version of the driver but
had no luck, so don't bother trying it. So....for you to use this solution
you need to find out if you have the 'ne' module compiled, and then if you
do just make the above change to rc.modules and try it out. If not, you
will need to compile ANOTHER KERNEL that has 'ne' compiled AS A MODULE. It
needs to be compiled as a module to use the fix I described above. Good
luck!

I think the problem is that you are using the command line from another
smbmount.
The one you have probably takes as parameters:
smbmount //servicename /mountpoint -U username -P password
Good luck.

You /etc/nsswitch.conf
configured to query DNS server for your WIN95 machine.
Apperently the DNS server that your linux box is using does
not have an ip record for your WIN95 machine. The delay
is acctually the time it takes for linux to give up trying to
reverse-resolve the ip name of your win95.
Two ways to go about it, edit /etc/hosts on linux and put
win95 name and ip number there, or add win95 ip record
to the dns server that linux is using.
Let me know if that helps or not.

Sorry, it didn't work. I now have even worse problems, after I reinstalled
it, again, on bootup it gives me all sorts of module errors, and some other
ones, and now my modem PCMCIA card won't work. Probably my error, so don't

University:
* multiple calendar views (year, month, 2 week, week, day, event)
* two calendar formats (calendar and list)
* event types (meetings, to-dos, special events)
* conflict resolution (double-booking feature)
* repeating events (automatically repeats specified events)
* reminders sent via email
* searchable calendars
* meta-calendars (ability to view two or more calendars simultaneously)
* user authentication (ability to control user access)
* style and color options (via pull-down menus)
* source code
WebEvent 3.1 requires a UNIX, Windows NT, or Macintosh server running
a Web server that supports PERL CGI scripts and can communicate with
an SMTP host for e-mail reminders and notification. The Macintosh
version requires MacOS 8 and the WebTen web server or MacOS X Server.
Cost is $200 for a single calendar/user license, $400 for 5
calendar/user license and $800 for a 100 calendar/user license.

Subject: Modem Problem--------It works But PPP doesn't route
Date: Tue, 04 May 1999 19:44:42 GMT
I am Running Linux Mandrake 5.3 with the KDE xwindows. I reloaded the
whole thing from scratch and after a day of reading HOW-TOs and scores
of news articles, I'm still stuck...
The modem connects fine to my ISP, but apparently doesn't route
correctly. No packets transfer and Netscape eventually returns
"server not found" message.
Could someone please help me with the entries in netcfg.
I went to http://nitro.med.uc.edu/DR3web/netcfg.html and did
everything he says to do and according to usernet I have a
functional PPP connection.
Any other Ideas?
Thanks

I have been e-mailed that a person has been able to use my nicstar driver
to run their 25 Mb ForeRunner LE card under FreeBSD with some modifications
to the SUNI initialization code (the nicstar code was written for the 155Mb
SUNI using the IDT SAR. the 25Mb SUNI does not have/want the controls needed
on the 155Mb SUNI.
The SAR support is the easy part...the hard part is integrating the payload
into FreeBSD. How does the ISP/telco encode the payload. For example is it
using one of the PPP modes (bridge/routed) or RFC 1483. Either way, I suspect
we will need to put a shim layer to the IP stack for this to work. The RFC
1483 would be less difficult. Since people have been raising internal DSL
modem support questions, I have been looking into these issues. I don't
have any code for you now. looking at the DSL line chipsets, a good DSL
bridge/router could be made with a picoBSD controlled box.

It looks like you have not configured Samba to use encrypted passwords.
Win98, like NT, uses encrypted passwords by default but Samba does not.
The /usr/doc/samba*/docs/ENCRYPTION.txt file provides instructions on
reconfiguring Samba. I also maintain instruction in the README.samba file
on my web site: www.swcp.com/~pgsery/LNTK. Good luck!

Sounds like slow hops between your box and the remote network. Try
doing a tracerout from your 95 box to locate any slow points in the
route.

Faster routes to those sites then your coventry site.

Is this Unix box on the same physical network as the 95 box you
