Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I am using Redhat 5.2 and kernel version is 2.0.35.
We are trying to setup network with 3c509 network card.
During installation, autoprobe detects 3c509 card
Module is loaded successfully, and we also setup
route and all network info properly.
But when we try telnet, this error message shows up.
$telnet 210.103.83.117
trying 210.103.83.117 -> no route to host
route command shows following info.
$route -n
168.115.32.0 * 255.255.255.0 U eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U lo
0.0.0.0 168.115.32.1 UG etho
above info is all correct.
$route
168.115.32.0 * 255.255.255.0 U eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U lo
and no answer
I can't figure out what's wrong.
I am using another machine with same network card in my office with all
same setting, but
It doesn't have any problem.
Two machine's only difference is when executing route command, my office
machine
goes back to command mode properly but my second machine doesn't
Please help me.

Madge have a (partially supported) TR driver but you have to ask their
tech support to get it and someone said it only works on the 2.0 kernel.
Madge are working on supported drivers and told me they'll be ready in a
few months.
The ibmtr driver supports some IBM cards, ISA and MC only (i.e. no PCI).
You'll find a list here:
http://www.networking.ibm.com/support/techtips.nsf/cd5d6a7de35a029585256735006510eb/a0bd59f96e3e29e285256720007d15f9?OpenDocument
I use an IBM Auto 16/4 ISA card with RH 5.2 but had to set it up in
"manual" mode (i.e. disable PnP) or else the ibmtr driver wouldn't be able
to find it.
Hope this helps.

I used the rpm files on RH 5.9 (beta) to upgrade the kernel
(and a few libraries that it asked for). Printer would not work
I then changed my printcap file to lp0, as advised, and still no
printer. Maybe I'll try RH 6.0 on Monday...

Problem is, AFAIK many games' IPX networking code doesn't allow for
routing, which means that you can only play if all stations are on one
Ethernet segment. That means a router won't help you. You need a
bridge/hub/switch, I'm afraid.

Subject: Samba / NT file date/time changes
Date: Thu, 06 May 1999 18:13:18 GMT
I'm a software bug "hunter-killer" looking for the pest that allows my NT 4.0
SP-4 (128-bit) Workstation system to automatically and uncontrollably change
most any *.exe file's date/time sitting out there on a Samba Server whenever
I simply initiate the *.exe. I haven't seen many articles about this kind of
thing, and I suspect it may also be a symptom of at least some NT/Samba
development environments. Our main programmer, along with my boss, find it
more expedient to think I'm 'cracked' because I'm in the QA staff..., even
though they stand in front of my PC and see the problem with their own eyes!
F.Y.I. - An extreme symptom: When I simply create a new, single icon in the
background in order to run an *.exe out there on a Samba server's drive, the
*.exe file's date/time stamp is changed to follow my local clock -and prior
to trying to run the *.exe! (Yet the date/time does NOT change when
creating the icon via Explorer right mouse- clicking to Create a Shortcut -
really weird!) So, what do you think? -try the simple icon creation test,
with a few *.exe files, especially files in development, as well as try
running some single *.exe files and watch the before/after date-times too.
Let me know...Thanks!EJZ

Subject: Samba - Novell shareable flags, HOW?
Date: Thu, 6 May 1999 18:24:32 +0200
Two weeks ago our fileserver running Novell Netware 3.11 broke.
There was only one DOS-type application installed which we need to do our
daily work.
We are now trying to set up a Linux-Server with Samba to emulate Netware
environment.
The specific application needs to be run from three clients simultanously
which obviously could be achieved.
The problem now is that two of the clients need access to some files in the
application�s directory at the same time - so those files need to be
permanetly open/accessable.
In fact - as the Novell-Server was still running - you had to type "flag *.*
s" in the aplication�s directory to make everything "shareable".
I hope someone knows an answer which can solve the problem.
I would really appreciate any commets...

Put "hosts" files on all your machines -- /etc/hosts on the Linux box,
\windows\hosts on the Winbox (you can edit the hosts.sam file but you have
to take away the .sam[ple] extension). The object is to make sure that all
machines agree about each other's IP addresses, and "hosts" is a lot simpler
than a full-bore DNS setup.
Looks like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.1 wingatebox
192.168.0.2 linuxbox
The Linux box will probably find and use the /etc/hosts file without any
mucking about (/etc/host.conf should contain the line "order hosts,bind")
If it's recognizing your NIC then try to ping the Windows box. If you find
it, you're good to go. If not, grab the Networking HOW-TO again and dig a
little deeper.
The Other Kevin is right about Sygate -- just run the line "route add
default gw sygatebox" (where sygatebox is the name OR IP address of your
Sygate box) and that's IT, you're done. Since I use RedHat, that goes in
/etc/rc.d/rc.local as more or less the last line.
(Yeah, my secret shame -- my Linux box is using another machine as its
gateway these days. Used to be the other way around; alas, I have a
compelling hardware-related reason....)
Wingate is more complicated because you have to log into the Wingate
machine; it is a proxy, not a 'pure' gateway. To telnet, you would enter
"telnet wingatebox", get a "Wingate>" prompt, then tell it where you really
want to go. For Netscape, just set up "wingatebox" as your proxy, same as
you would in Windows. Lynx, ditto. I don't know what sort of ftp client
you want to use, but using command line ftp you'd ftp to the
Wingate box and log in as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
CuteFTP calls this method of firewall negotiation "USER user@site".

Subject: procmail question
Date: Thu, 06 May 1999 18:59:09 +0200
Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to make procmail passing an incoming
mail to a perl-script that evaluates the email and starts some action.
Example:
If a mail arrives from [EMAIL PROTECTED] procmail passes the body of
this mail (the mail itself would also be ok) to a script call "maileval"
so that "maileval" can use the content of the mail to start some action.
It would be important that that only mail from a certain user of a
certain domain will be delivered to "maileval" all other mail should go
to the normal mail-dir.
If anyone knows how to solve this, please let me know. (I know I'm in
usenet - still I prefer eMail as answer.)
Thanks in advance,

Subject: Re: Samba as a printer server->suggestions
Date: 06 May 1999 19:05:40 +0100
You need to get the printer working under unix first. This invloves
setting up a /etc/printcap file (printer capabilities) file. This is
rudimentry. Something simple like:
lp:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:lp=/dev/lp1:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter:
you will need an input filter (:if) if you want to print anything
other than text, but there are good utilities out there for creating
filters for you, so you don't have to write your own. Although
writing your own sounds overly complex, it needn't be for a simple
setup.
You will (I should have said this earlier) also need lpd (the berkley
print daemon). You will also want lpq (print queue tool) lpc (printer
control utility) lpr for printing (lpr -Plp filename - for example)
and finaly lprm for removing print jobs. If you want to print to a
remote box, from some other *nix box, then you still need to have an
/etc/printcap on that remote box :(. Sometimes you are not # and so
this is not possible. Well there is an lpr like utility called rlpr
and this doesn't require that you have an /etc/printcap on the remote
'puter. lpd has had a few security concerns in recent years ... in
your setup this may not bother you .... but FYI there is another print
daemon but I forget its name! xlpd maybe?
Once you get to the stage where you can print (don't forget to
recompile the kernel to support lp!) you can then worry about setting
up Samba. Once printing works, Samba just loads up the printers for
you:
[global]
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
horrah!
