Wahrscheinlich unterstuetzt der Kernel den Zeichensatz nicht. Einfach
Kernel neu konfigurieren, benoetigte Zeichensaetze auswaehlen, neu
kompilieren, installieren und neu starten.

Subject: Linux PPP server and windows network, no browsing, HELP!
Date: Mon, 10 May 1999 07:37:19 -0500
I have been wrecking my brain on this for months. I have a linux ppp
server connected to a Windows, Novell and HP based network.
Everything works fine, I even have IPX working a treat.
My only problem is, dail-in clients are not able to browse the network,
and in some cases cannot find Windows based computers (other than
pinging).
On the client end, if i enable Netbios over IPX, it works but this
causes heavy traffic due to IPX broadcasts. So my problem seems to be
running netbios over TCP which is the windows default. I also think it
seems from the fact that PPP does not enable broadcast packets to be
sent from peer to peer. I've tried running Samba on the ppp server but
still no browseable windows network.
3 Question's
1. am I right in my assumptions
2. Can I fix this, or is there a workaround
3. Has anybody else got this working.
Thanks in advance.

You have to assign an IP address to every computer anyway. Question is rather
whether you make it an officially registered IP address, or one from the
private ranges (10.X.X.X, 172.16.X.X or 192.168.X.X). In that case, you only
need 1 address that all computers will use to access the internet, using the
masquerading technique. So, it saves precious (routed) IP numbers. And
enables you to control the access to the internet.

Hey I think you should use ipfwadm or something like this.
Consult Firewall-HOWTO for more information.

You have inadvertantly set yourself up for a lot of flames. Besides the
breach in netiquette by cross-posting, the message content is best
directed to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Before we can help you will have to provide more information.
Was your initial connect attempt via DHCP or static IP?
Did you check basics like net mask, and network number?
Did you edit your hosts.allow/deny?
What specific net config files is RH not using?
Do you want to be a server via SAMBA or NFS?
What client services do you need to take advantage of?
Lets first make sure the interface is working and move on from there. It
is understandable that you are used to the hand holding of the Microsoft
computing paradigm, but the nascent Linux phenomena has no commercial
impetus for voluminous documentation. Granted, Linux has a way to go in
the documentation area; all the information is already published, but
organization and dissemination is the drudge work that a commercial
enterprise usually undertakes.
Start your personal journey here: http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/ The linux
documentation product is the closest thing we have to a library.
Please be prepared to invest the time required to master the initial
learning curve. Mastering an OS is not easy. Networking is another ball
of wax and is not easy in the Microsoft or Novell world. Just because the
system runs great even on notebook computers does not mean it should be
treated like Windows 95/98.
Most people will freely admit that Linux is not ready to be a desktop OS
for the average end user. Postings like ours are expanding the dejanews
archive daily, and contribute to putting Linux closer to the desktop.
HTH
Happy computing.

Subject: MODEM and IRQ: help a newbie
Date: Sun, 09 May 1999 11:06:43 -0400
After configuring my sound card I found that I screwed up my modem.
Here is how I was configuring my sound card Sound Blaster 64
(following B.Ball's book "Using Linux"): I used the command (that's
all)
/usr/sbin/sndconfig
it did change my /etc/conf.modules file from a blank one to the
following:
alias sound sb
options -k sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1,5
what i didn't know (as I found later in the book) was that it also
changed my /etc/isapnp.conf to
the one that I include in the end, and I don't know what was there
before since I did it (configuration of SB) more than once and the
first bakup file that system did for me was replaced.
Here how Linux responded to some commands that as I was told would
tell me about my IRQ business etc:
[root@localhost /root]# setserial /dev/cua1
/dev/cua1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3
[root@localhost /root]# cat /proc/interrupts
0: 16083 timer
1: 131 keyboard
2: 0 cascade
8: 1 + rtc
12: 232 PS/2 Mouse
13: 1 math error
14: 3428 + ide0
15: 0 + ide1
[root@localhost /]# ls -l /dev/modem
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 May 10 01:16 /dev/modem
-> /dev/cua1
from /var/log/messages i have:
May 10 01:26:28 localhost pppd[424]: pppd 2.3.3 started by root,
uid 0
May 10 01:26:28 localhost pppd[424]: tcgetattr: Input/output
error(5)
May 10 01:26:29 localhost pppd[424]: Exit.
any ideas about what is wrong with the modem?
Thanks a lot.

then it should work.
first. add
append="ether=12,0x300,eth0
to /etc/lilo.conf 12 is irq, and 0x300 is io address.
and then lilo. I think it should work. I use to do this with some nic that
linux didn't detect it automatically and it's up.

Subject: Strange routing problem.
Date: Mon, 10 May 1999 13:41:40 GMT
I have had this server setup to do IP masquerading/port forwarding for a
long time at home. My wife and I share the same internet connection. We
have 4 workstations (2 Linux, 1 Win95, and 1 Macintosh) that use the same
dialup line through this server. Well, the other day my wife was
complaining that when I was using the web she couldn't do anything anymore.
Eventually I tested and she was right. I discovered that if one
workstation was doing anything at all, even pinging something on the
internet that none of the other workstations could access anything until
that workstation stopped pinging. Obviously pinging doesn't take up 100%
of my 33.6K connection. So, there is something going wrong that is causing
my IP masquerading server to give "all or none" so to speak to whatever
computer is accessing it.. What could this be?
Please email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and/or respond to this newsgroup!

Me too.. I have a tulip card and I think it is very, very nice.. I think
this person's problem is not the card itself but something else in the
system.
