The routers by default don't forward broadcast packets (imagine send packets to
255.255.255.255 and all the routers over the Internet forwarding them).

I note in the help screens for the At Home network the term 'cross-connect' usedto
refer to a certain type of port on an ethernet hub. Is this equivalent to an 'uplink'
port?

You don't want just anyone to mess around with your hardware do you now.
Devices like cua0 are probably group owned dailout. If you make everyone
who is entitled to dial out (and thus increase your telephone bill) a
member of dialout it should work fine.

Subject: How do you setup host name in Qmail?
Date: Mon, 10 May 1999 10:40:24 -0700
Does anyone know how to set up the "host name" for qmail? The host name for
my machine is "ModelLinux" and I am putting that in a single line in each
file in the /var/qmail/control directory.
Anyway, when I am send a local test message, I get the error:
May 7 11:42:41 ModelLinux qmail: 926102561.733810 delivery 78: failure:
Sorry,_I_couldn't_find_any_host_named_ModelLinux.ModelLinux._(#5.1.2)/
Apparently, it is trying to send an email over to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
when it should in fact send it to root@modellinux. I checked the
/var/qmail/control files and all of the just say "modellinux" and NONE of
them say "modellinux.modellinux". Why is the machine trying to send to this
faulty domain?

Real Soon Now(tm), I'm going to release sources to my toolsuite,
"Playin' in the LAN". you can get a demo of it at my website
(www.Grateful.Net).
give me a few weeks to clean things up a bit before asking for
sourcecode. I'll make an announcement when its ready.
its a basic framework that I've been using and it doesn't do
everything for everyone, but is all opensource and you can -make- it
do what you want with a bit of programming (all C). ;-)
the first version will be Linux-only. after it stabilizes a bit, a
solaris and irix port will occur. sorry - not for M$ - its unix-only.

Date: Sun, 09 May 1999 17:39:57 -0400
Clifford,
thank you a lot! You figured it right. I learned a lot, too, and
what is more important my modem works now!
here is my NEW /etc/isapnp.conf
file:----------------------------------
(READPORT 0x0203)
(ISOLATE)
(IDENTIFY *)
# Card 1: (serial identifier 02 14 12 91 dd e4 00 8c 0e)
# CTL00e4 Serial No 336761309 [checksum 02]

# ANSI string -->Creative SB AWE64 PnP<--
# Vendor defined tag: 73 02 45 20
#
# Logical device id CTL0045
(CONFIGURE CTL00e4/336761309 (LD 0
(INT 0 (IRQ 5 (MODE +E)))
(DMA 0 (CHANNEL 0))
(DMA 1 (CHANNEL 5))
(IO 0 (BASE 0x220))
(ACT Y)
))
# Card 2: (serial identifier 91 c3 93 8b a2 70 30 72 56)
# USR3070 Serial No -1013740638 [checksum 91]
# Version 1.0, Vendor version 0.0

(CONFIGURE USR3070/-1013740638 (LD 0
(IO 0 (BASE 0x02f8))
(INT 0 (IRQ 3 (MODE +E)))
(ACT Y)
))
# Returns all cards to the "Wait for Key" state
(WAITFORKEY)
================================================================
after that i ran:
[root@localhost sbin]# /sbin/isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf
Board 1 has Identity 02 14 12 91 dd e4 00 8c 0e: CTL00e4 Serial No
336761309 [checksum 02]
Board 2 has Identity 91 c3 93 8b a2 70 30 72 56: USR3070 Serial No
3281226658 [checksum 91]
it (xisp) still wasn't working untill i guessed to reboot, and that
was it!
what i didn't understand is how creating this file (after i ran
sndconf) screwed things up, i mean it did work before that without
any files like that?
so the logic is:
probe for ISA PnP card with sndconf (or can use pnpdump);
it will created a file with suggested IO,IRQ,DMA's;
then run isapnp with this file (where one has to uncomment lines);
then reboot
right?
so I don't understand what was happenning in my Linux system with
regard to the modem before i attempted to configure Sound Card -
there was no isapnp.conf file?
when/how does Linux looks in my newborn /etc/isapnp.conf file now?
But again, thanks! and everybody else who made suggestions and was
helping thank you.

There are no errors in messages etc. but with ps -ax these 2 lines are

I'd like to get the TTL from received multicast packets. Can I do it

Everybody seems to use RAW socket for a client, in order to built

Is there another solution to get the IP header ?

Firstly, Prodigy support thinks linux is a disease.
Secondly, here are my scripts:

""ATZ

ABORT "NO CARRIER"
ABORT BUSY
ABORT "NO DIALTONE"
ABORT WAITING
TIMEOUT 40
CONNECT
=============
/etc/ppp/options
=============
Name ****** <--- Prodigy username here
modem
lock
crtscts
asyncmap 0
noauth
noipdefault
netmask 255.255.255.0
debug
mtu 552
mru 552
=============
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets
=============
# secrets for authentication using PAP
# client server secret acceptable local IP
addresses
******* * ******* <---
Prodigy username; Prodigy password
=============
Put this wherever you want, just remember where it is because it's what you run
to initiate the connection.
=============
#!/bin/bash
exec pppd connect 'chat -v -f /etc/ppp/chatscript' -detach crtscts modem
defaultroute /dev/modem 38400
exit 0
=============
Well there you go, those are what get me connected to Prodigy. Tell me how you
do with them.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]> If you use fiber to copper media converters you can use

Wouldn't that negate the performance increase gained by using

Cruising 3Com's site, it sounded like their cards had fiber equivalents.

it would be a good test if you could locate one. sometimes its a
'timing thing' and bugs show up with direct connections that buffering
or delaying devices (hubs/routers) might hide.

if all you got were those dots, over 8 minutes, I'd say that was 'solid' ;-)

sounds like your system is stable. with that hub in the middle, at
any rate. is that a TRUE hub (repeater) or is it a bridge/switch? if
the latter, then it could buffer and make life easier on the nics.

Get a newer kernel. Only 2.1.x and 2.2.x support the NTFS ( read - only )
However I wouldnt recommend 2.2.x because its too unstable right now.

You can make your own dialing script / use wvdial or use the RH tool.
Unfortunatly i dont use RH and i dont know exactly what its like. I use
pppconfig to make script file and pon Whatever_the_script_file_is to
connect. Try looking for that tool on the net its a really nice tool. And
check whether your modem is Winmodem or not.. Winmodems dont work under
Linix = (. You might have hard time if your modem is PnP since PnP isnt
that well supported in Linux. *at least i had really HARD time going around
that ( my modem is PnP and it has jumpers = ) pretty cool)

Here i cant help you.. I have just 1 box. Ask somebody at #linux #RH
#redhat ..

Maybe your other user accounts dont have complete access to all the
libraries and the xinit or xconfig for the other accounts isnt set
correctly ( which is most likly ) try playing around with those .. /etc/X11
or $HOME/user_name/.some_cfg_file

I'm experiencing the same problem on an ATM network to remote sites
from BOTH our AIX 4.3.2 boxes (RS/6000). IBM thinks it's a network
configuration issue. I've also read reports on tests where more than
one router is involved and the MTU size seems to come into play here.
If we find a definitive solution will advise you!

Does one of those files happen to be defaulthost ?

If defaulthost is Modellinux, you must send to 'user' instead of
'user@Modellinux'
