I just solve this problem today.  I took my sound card and internal modem out.
Those card was not probe by Linux.  I think it was some IRQ or I/O Address
conflict.  May be this can help you.

There are several possible solutions to this problem. You could disable SMTP
mail delivery from Demon's end at:

        https://www.password.uk.demon.net/

Another solution would be to disable access from Demon's machines to sendmail.
I don't use sendmail myself (I use exim), but I imagine that you can tell it
in one of the config files not to accept connections from *anything* in the
outside world (it shouldn't be configured to allow anything outside the
194.217.242 subnet anyway, apart from your local machine or network).

Finally, why not just use SMTP delivery anyway? It's so much easier.

Subject: Slow linux-win98-samba connection

Hello all

I don't know what I am doing wrong. Some people are talking about slow
connections at 250kb/s. My configuration beats them all. I just have
10kb/s if I send files to a win98-computer using smbclient.
I am using version 2.0.3 of Samba and a glibc-2.0.6-System with Linux
2.2.6. I tried some things given in file speed.txt and speed2.txt, but
couldn't find anything that improves the speed of the connect. It works
great in the other direction (with mget). But mput is really slow. Any
oppinions?
TIA

Hello Brian,
For now why dont you turn the VJ compression off,

there is also a nojjccomp switch, This is what I would do

   I'm on RoadRunner in Syracuse, NY.  DHCP worked just fine before
RH6.0.  What's different now is that the information for resolv.conf
is _not_ allocated after receiving the dynamic IP and the lease.  I
had to enter in the domain and nameserver lines manually.  Once I did
that, though, everything worked fine.  There must be a way to fix this,
though.  On the very bright side, I've had no lockups.  I'm using a
3com 3c509b NIC (ISA) and the white Motorola CybrSurfr cable modem.

Date: Sat, 08 May 1999 13:58:13 GMT

in the 2.2 kernel, this card (on all my machines) is EXTREMELY unstable.

I don't know why - on 2.0.36 it was the best card out there
(price/performance).  but for all the 2.2 series, its a dog.

my internet box hangs in days or even minutes if I xfer lots of data
to it at 10/100 speeds.  if I use adsl and download a large package
(like rh6.0) it will cause my network to stop working in a few hours.
this sucks ;-(

so, while I USED to love this tulip card, I currently hate it.  I
would not recommend a tulip for the new kernel series until someone
(donald?) debugs this sucker and restores stability, the likes of
which we had in 2.0

fyi,

if you stress the card, it will DEFINITELY hang your network.  no

I finally found out what was causing the problem. When I was
running Slink, I had this line in my firewall startup script:

        # And then we accept packets to already established connections
        ipchains -A input -i $EXTIF -p TCP -d $EXTMACHINEIP ! -y -j ACCEPT

Changing that line to this:

        # And then we accept packets to already established connections
        ipchains -A input -i $EXTIF -p TCP ! -y -j ACCEPT

makes things work as expected under Potato.

Just thought you'd like to know.

I would recommend the intel eepro100, although I also wonder whether you
just have a flaky tulip card, because tulip would have been my second
suggestion. There's a lot of different tulip-based cards out there..

A 3c509 should be fine too, although with SMP it needs one of the
current v2.2 pre-patches to be stable in some configurations (thanks to
Andrea for figuring out why).

If your intention is to connect to the net with the Linux box and using
IP Masquerading to allow the windows box to use the connection, then the
default gateway needs to be the IP of the Linux box. (192.168.0.1)

I have it working. I am also running IP masquerading connected to two internal

working, the performance is great.

Hi!

I live in El Paso TX and use Time Warner RR. Been playing with Linux -
I
am a powerful and infulential (translate harried and stressed) LAN
supervisor (translate whipping boy) of the EPISD. I do have lots of
hardware and software to play with.  We are using Linux ( Caldera
mostly) in production as DNS, Apache servers, etc. I also manage about
1000 seats on a 80 NW 4.11 LAN/WAN.

Been playing with Red Hat at home. I will be getting 6.0 next week.

I found some old hardware, I am running RH 5.0 (2.0.31) on an HP
Netserver LC  5/133 with an Intel E100B nic. I applied your excellent
scripts ( I had to guess at our login server - I used the DNS/DHCP
address, so that may be part of the problem). All worked swimmingly,
and
I _do_ login - I know I am because if I misconfigure my password in
rrconf, I can't ping or resolve anything).

The puzzling part is this - about 3 minutes after boot, most of the
world becomes unreachable (according to ping). The only thing I can
still ping is my default gateway. Prior to this, I can surf a bit with
Lynx, ping, etc. If I do a traceroute the "unreachable" thing happens
sooner. I never see anything other than *  *  * in the traces. Name
resolution is fine until it bombs.

This has driven me crazy for about 3 days! If we can fix this, I bet
it
will help a lot of other people in El Paso.

I also did the RH install with "everything" checked, so I am running
named, http, sendmail, etc. I wonder if these daemons are somehow
freaking out RR. I am too newbieish to know how to 'comment them out',
but I am learning fast. I did have a lot of Unix in college, but that
was on a vax and a PDP-11 20 years ago ....

Any suggestions would be great!

www.freshmeat.net has a entry for a ipfwadm to ipchains converter
today.  I have not tried it yet.
