I find using the ipparam option in /etc/ppp/peers/xxx works very well:
For work, I use this -
ipparam ign
And for my ISP -
ipparam mindspring
IPPARAM is, iirc, parameter six to the ip-up scripts, so you can use
the value in if/select clauses

Hi!
I'm trying to connect my Linux and W98 machines, but of course I'm having
problems!
I'm Using Ne2000 compitable Netcards on both machines, and I can make a
connection and share folders/printers in Windows98.
But I want Linux to work as a server (document, printer and Internet
connection server). But first of all I want to configure it so I can connect
from the w98 machine.
If you can help me but need more infomation about ...(?) something. (Netcard
etc.) feel free to mail me, or if you have a doc or HOWTO I can read and
use.
I have read some of the Howto that came with my RH51. but I'm still having
problems.
Any help is of course aperciated... Thanks in advance

You should download the latest drivers from Intel for this card and verify
that your card is configured with these settings. Also, isn't irq 3 used by
one of the serial ports?
I'm trying to configure an IntelEtherExpress Pro/10+ ISA as a second card. It
works fine by itself, but I cant get it to be recognized as a second card.
(the first card is an Intel Pro/100 PCI).

Take the Pentium III Boycott Survey
http://mail.infotrieve.com/isurvey/index.cfm?vendorid=6045&formid=F0006045
Pentium III chip with the individual serial number that can
track your web surfing and buying habits can now have the ID number
turned on and off by software. Following some links I found the
www.fightdivx.com website and noticed that they have a Intel Boycott
page with links, quotes and info on why you should boycott the
invasion of privacy Pentium III chips. Just like everyone suspected,
the ID number can be taken without a customers knowledge. Just like
cellular phone fraud, once someone has your unique ID number, they
could pose as you on the internet. Do not be fooled by reports that
this problem is fixed because Intel disabled this feature by software
on their up coming chips. Information is power. They want to know
your surfing and buying habits. That is what this is all about. Here
is the link to the page with the boycott info and links.
http://www.fightdivx.com/intelboycott.htm
Also you will find a Boycott Intel screen saver and banner on their
page above. Spread it around.

normally (on redhat) the script wich starts/stops samba is called
/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb
and not samba. I think that should solve your problem.

Subject: dns reverse lookup
Date: Wed, 05 May 1999 17:51:32 GMT
I have an old slackware. I have THE dns reverse lookup problem,
I asked about this here before and I received some suggestions that
didn't work.
I looked at dejanews and tried things found there.
When I connect to internet using a modem I've seen delays in
connections caused by dns reverse lookup.
I've put in /etc/hosts entries for the PCs IP's. I'm not
running a DNS server, it's a small lan.
I've been playing with /etc/nsswitch.conf. I removed it,
I made sure the entries are:
hosts: files dns
I upgraded libc.so.5.4.46, kernel-2.2.6, net. everything
that need to be upgraded that's in linux/doc/Changes.txt
my /etc/resolv.conf is:
nameserver my.isp.dns.server # real numbers edited here
I noticed I have not the problem if I remove the resolv.conf file.
What am I missing please ?

Guess what? It is possible! I've got KDE running
on my Linux box right now while connected to a
MiX server running on my NT box! As I stated
earlier, " I do 'startkde'."! Try it!
Here is what MicroImages actually says in their FAQ:
Q: Can I use a window manager other than twm with MI/X?
A: Yes, however twm is the window manager we support.
We can't tell you how to configure other window managers,
or even guarantee that they'll work.

You may want to run Linuxconf on the console first (a nicer interface
than that supplied by the web, IMHO). Add an ip number under the
Networking-->(misc?)-->Linuxconf Network Access option (your version of
Linuxconf will vary). If you have X-windows working then when running a
xterm, try Linuxconf there, and you should get a GUI interface for
administering you computer.

Subject: ISDN Dial On Demand sendmail half working?
Date: Wed, 5 May 1999 23:27:28 +0100
I have managed to setup sendmail so that it only sends non-local emails at
preset times by issuing the sendmail -q command.
This works great, dials up the ISP at preset times and send and receives the
mail. However if there is no e-mail in the queue, sendmail doesn't dial the
ISP thus not receive possible incoming mail.
I have written a script which does the following to always force it open the
connection upon sendmail -q to check incoming mail by doing the following
ping -c 5 mailserver |& sendmail -q
This pings the external email server, opening the connection as the IP
address is non-local, and upon connection any waiting mail is downloaded.
Is there any better way of doing this. Any tips would be most appreciated.

I may have a typo in the duplex portion... I seem to remember quotes

you can check how to make it full duplex later. I have several Tlans

This question has been asked many times in this newsgroup. If you do a
DejaNews search, you will probably find hundreds of answers. The short
answer is this:
You don't need a getty. pppd knows how to do all that by itself. Read
the pppd docs (look in /usr/doc/ somewhere) and read the pppd manpage.
You first start pppd by typing something along the line of
"pppd /dev/ttyS1 38400 crtscts 192.168.1.1:192.168.1.2"
assuming that:
/dev/ttyS1 is the serial port you are using.
38400 is the speed you want to use.
You want to use rtscts hardware handshaking.
192.168.1.1 is the IP address of the Linux machine.
192.168.1.2 is the IP address of your Win95 laptop.
Then, run Win95's DUN, and you should have it. The pppd man page has
examples of this sort of thing. Read it.

In unix all logins are recorded in the /etc/utmp file. You could find out
the
format (man utmp) of the file and read the IP address of the client which
started current session(using current pty as the key) from it or use
"system" system call to run a script which returns the IP address to an ENV
variable and read it into the C code
$who -R am i | awk { print $6 } /who with some option depending on the
/ implemetation should
return the IP of
/client that started the
current session
There should be a better way of doing it..any suggestions......
