I'm going to guess that your sound card and your ethernet have an IRQ
conflict.
You might try removing the sound card and seeing if the ehternet starts to
work.
OR, try to get the ethernet to use IRQ 10 or IRQ 11, sometimes this can be
done via the BIOS.

Scott, if you have a spare 386 or 486 and two network cards, you can install a
neat firewall. You can connect this to a single PC or a network hub and run a
network through a single connection.
Go to http://edge.fireplug.net/ and just follow his instructions. It works
for @Home cable and other cable setups including ADSL

Subject: Mail Problem with POP Server ...
Date: 07 May 1999 09:54:49 +0200
Hi folks,
I have an urgent problem with my POP server. My girlfriend's laptop
has Windows (I know, I know, but trying to get her to use Linux is
more trouble than it's worth), and she uses Pegasus for mail. She has
two identites in Pegasus, one for her 'normal', i.e. external mail,
and another one for the internal mail, i.e. using the LAN server as a
POP server.
When she tries to get her internal mail, however, Pegasus tells her
that the password is incorrect. So I tried a telnet from her laptop
to port 110 of the server. When I enter the username and password
(hers, that is), I get:
-ERR being read already /usr/spool/mail/annie
Problem is: it's not being read already. Here is the output of ps
-aux:

If anyone could help me with this, I would sure appreciate it. I am
trying to set up a Linux server w/ samba(v 2.0) to store some shared files on.
I have everything installed, but Samba is giving me some problems. I
have a smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = UHC
netbios name = THOTH
server string = One Cool Server
[homes]
comment = home directory for the studs
path = %H
[tmp]
comment = temporary files directory
path = /tmp
[testshar]
comment = my test share
path = /home/archive
guest ok = Yes
When I run 'smbclient -L thoth' on the linux machine, it works and lists
the shares available, but from my windows(98) clients, it just says that
thoth is inaccessible. When I try to do a 'net view \\thoth', I get
this error message:
Error 86: The specified network password is not correct. Type the
correct
password, or contact your network administrator for more information.
I've gone through the DIAGNOSIS.txt file in the samba distribution, and
get to test #8, which is the net view <servername> one. The things it
says to do in there don't help. any other ideas?

Subject: REQ: Information regarding fiber optics
Date: Fri, 7 May 1999 21:22:15 -0500
In the near future, I will be remodeling my house and finishing my basement.
Each room will be wired up for telephone and network access. This is what I
want to do:
The server (RedHat Linux 5.2, or whatever the latest version will be at the
time) connected to the hub.
I would like the hub to have 1 or 2 fiber-optic ports. One of those ports
will be for the server and the other reserved for a dedicated file/backup
server. Aside from the fiber ports I would like to have 20-24 100mps ports.
The most I have done with fiber is put the connectors on. I am looking for
all the information I could possibly use and even more, if possible. I have
a home network now, but I want to make it even better. I am looking for the
hub to do the job and the necessary cards for the two servers. Any
information or URLs you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
You can e-mail me at: czeman @ zman.iwc.net
I split up the address to avoid unsolicited e-mail. My personal e-mail
server is the only one I don't get junk e-mail sent to and I want to keep it
that way.
Thank you,

This could mean a couple things:
1) You have the wrong device
2) The device doesn't support rtscts.
Although, from the modprobe line, it looks like it's trying to find a ppp
module of some type...above that, it looks like you have ppp support
compiled into your system. I couldn't tell you what is wrong from here,
all I can say is to read the documentation I referenced in my last post.

You're putting the login name in without the necessary space after

So, if the card doesn't work at first insertion, the eject/insert

Check the system log and verify that the card messages are identical
both times (same hardware address, specifically).
What transceiver (10baseT or 10base2) are you using? Are you
specifying it in /etc/pcmcia/network.opts, or relying on the

You can also try the beta on csb.stanford.edu in /pub/pcmcia/NEW.
I've been working on the 3c589 driver and it's possible that it might
