Bob:
Thank you for responding. I appreciate your explaining how
NFS works/mounting the Directories. Sounds like I need to create a different
mount point on my local machine (i.e., my POWERSPEC computer) for mounting
"/home/Dan" from my MICRON.
Yes, both the "/home/Dan" Directory on my MICRON computer and the "/home/Dan"
Directory on my POWERSPEC computer contain files. Both computers' "/home/Dan"
contain "GNUstep", "Xrootenv.0", and "nsmail". My MICRON "/home/Dan" also
contains some graphics files, like "m16neb.jpg", which I want to transfer to my
POWERSPEC computer.
The "/tmp" Directory on my POWERSPEC is empty/contains no files, whereas the
"/tmp" Directory on my MICRON contains several files that I downloaded from the
Internet. Hmmm...
Once again, thanks for helping me out.

Hm, I wonder, what this little LRP-Router (LinuxRouterProject)-box in the
basement of our building does. I build it to route IPX between two
ethernets...
You need ipxripd and ipx-packages and it works.

Hello what is up with that core file that looks like a sick bomb floating
around my gnome desktop and /root directory. Is there an error in my system
and is there any way to fix it. Ian Charboneau [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Subject: ipfwadm
I have a network that allows my machines to communicate. I'm running
RH5.1, kernel 2.0.35. The rest of the "network" is one Windows98 machine.
I get a PPP connection from the linux gateway, and to the best of my
knowledge all of the settings on the '98 machine are correct. I've been
using the masquerading HOWTO as a guide. When the guide says to enter the
commands:
ipfwadm -F -p deny
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.1.0/24 0.0.0.0/0
The first command gives no feedback. The second command gives me:
ipfwadm: no ports allowed without specific protocol
Try `ipfwadm -h' for more information.
ipfwadm -h suppplies plenty of info, none of which I understand.
Has anyone encoutnered this problem? The HOWTO and a couple of other
resources I've consulted don't touch the subject, unless my sleepless eyes
are blind....

Subject: ASIX driver for Linux 2.2
Date: Fri, 07 May 1999 15:30:25 GMT
Has anyone successfully gotten the Asix AX88140 chipset to work in Linux 2.2?
I downloaded the driver from cnet (using a pro110b) and it worked great in the
previous kernel -- but now I can't compile it.
I get an error of too many parameters for dev_kfree_skb and bios32.h but after
changing the code (which worked for a pcware driver -- dmfe I think) I got a
whole slew of errors.
Since what I'm doing appears to be making the problem worse, and I don't have
enough familiarity to rewrite the code, has anyone gotten this to work?
Thanks!
Ed King

PS -- It does detect the card as a dec tulip but the network will not function
at all. Possbily a simple mod to the tulip driver?

I posted the original to redhat.linux.install as well.
What I am looking for is peoples experiences from a networking point
of view.
For example, the current 5.2 has kernel 2.0.36, so I know I have to
rebuild my firewall rules to use ipchains, but will the upgrade
process find this?
The machine is running sendmail, apache, ftp and is a firewall, how
many of these services will I have to go and reconfigure?

It appears so, I have tried find *glint* on both the installed system
and the CD I have (ftp'd version)
Seems there is a new tool (working from memory here) called gnome-rpm
(something like that, I found it on my start button in X)

Bert,
You have to specify a hostname for your linux-box, other than localhost!
Put an entry in your /etc/hosts with a selfchosen hostname and IP adress
(e.g. in the private class C networks ip range 192.168.0.x; for an
explanation of the private addresses see the net-3-howto)
I had the same error when I installed RedHat 5.2 and this worked for me.

hi, All
I tried to find a program can redirect dest address. Then I installed the
ipchains.
But it only can redirect the port number not dest ip address ? :(
Any ideas ?
Thanks for your helps !
