Hi there ,
I have some problems with my network. I use Suse 6.0 , kernel 2.2.7 and
samba 2.0.28 . First I notified that smbmount //server/share
/mount/point won�t work. Also the often red tip smbmount //server/share
-c 'mount /mnt/dir' . Then I found in my logfiles a line
"kernel:neighbour table overflow" and "smbfs:need mount version 6". But
I can browse the whole network and see all shares with smbclient -L .
Only smbmount not. In the kernel smbfs is enabled as modul. And also a
ping to my own ip doesn�t work. I get always an error "no buffer space
available" . But to all other clients it works. Does anybody know what
it is or what to do ?
Thanks
Lothar

If redhat 6.0 is using a new kernel (2.2.X) which I think is true then you need to
change from /dev/cua to dev/ttyS. All /dev/cua s were obsoleted in the new kernel. I'm
sorry but I had to chop off some of your message in order to post

Ofcourse it give 'SOME 'overhead, but you won't notice it.
Because the kernel only checks the destination IP header (wich it always does
anyway) and then routes it through if it is one of his ip addressess.
The extar load is very very minimal.

Only the Acorn's that run Linux.
A friend of mine has an Acorn the only problem he has is that his network
adapter was'nt supported. But everything works pretty good.

Perl (mod_perl and Embperl ie.) with DBI or PHP are two good alternatives.
DBI is probably better than sybperl.
MySQL or Sybase 11.0.3 are both fast, solid and free.

Are you sure you have no IRQ or DMA conflicts?
This is a pretty hazy problem, wich is probably not due to the OS but purly hardware.
I have NE2000
adap. in my Linux boxes (one Alpha 533 MHz and 1 P166 pretty pathetic to have a 64 Bit
Alpha and a 16
bit eth adap but anyway) they work great in combination with Windows clients

Marco,
No. Won't hurt it in windows. That's what I've done with mine.
However, [group], I still can't get my card to work in Linux. Using Debian
2.0.36.
In searching the Web I see that I should add some info to the conf.modules
file, but when I vi it the header says not to edit that file directly.
Instead it points me to files in /etc/modutils. I'm not sure which ones to
change, and have made some changes anyway, and it doesn't work.
Does anyone know what files Debian gets module info from on boot???
Thanks.
--r.p.

Subject: Two 3c509 Cards in one computer
Date: 12 May 1999 02:12:05 GMT
I'm trying to configure a PC with 2 3c509b network
cards in it, to now avail.
I did read Mini-HowTo on using multiple
Ethernet Adapters with Linux V 2.00
( http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/misc/multicard.html
is where I found the copy I read. )
Operating System: Linux
Distribution: RedHat 5.2
CPU Intel Pentium II
RAM 64 MB
Network Protocol TCP/IP
Network Cards 3Com 3c509B ISA
{ 3c509B, not 3c905B }
PnP for the network cards has been disabled.
Testing them using the DOS Utilities on the disk
we recieved with the card shows that each
card does work
writing /etc/conf/modules as
alias eth0 3c509
alias eth1 3c509
options 3c509 0x210,0x300
resulted in the system not recognising _either_ card.
writing /etc/lilo.conf
append = "ether=5,0x210,eth1"
rest of the lilo.conf
resulted in that card being recognised, but
not both. Changing it
append = "ether=5,0x210,eth1 ether=3,0x300,eth0"
resulted in neither card being recognised.
What other alternatives are there --- or what have
I missed, to get both cards to work.
Or do I just have to learn how to compile the
kernel? And pray that I correctly include
everything I should?
The current system configuration and results
are as follows
/etc/conf/modules is as follows
alias eth0 3c509
alias eth1 3c509
/etc/lilo.conf is as follows
boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b prompt timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36-0.7
label=linux
root=/dev/hda1
read-only
/etc/hosts is as follows

209.102.31.165 vrystaat.stamp-coin.com

Hi, I'm having some trouble getting DHCPCD to work under Debian. I've
just installed debian and upgraded to kernel 2.2.7. I'm trying to get
DHCP to work on eth1 which is a ne2000 compatible card. eth0 is
statically assigned and is a etherexpress card.

dhcpcd -d eth1

I've never had a problem with dhcp under slackware, running kernel
2.0.29. And it wasn't a problem under debian with kernel 2.0.34. The
problem only started when I upgraded to kernel 2.2.7. Do I need some
specially module or setting? Or a special version of DHCPCD?
Thanks for any help that someone might be able to provide.

I've heard of software to allow you to bond two modems together to allow a
faster PPP connection, but I don't think I've ever heard of anything like
that for NICs. I'm not sure that bonding two NICs would even gain you
anything. (A little speculation here, correct me if I'm wrong) If your NICs
are plugged into a switch you might be able to increase your bandwidth to a
limited extent. If you're plugging into a hub, you're probably not going to
be able to run any faster (unless your hub is a 10/100 autosensing hub and
your NICs are both 10mb cards) due to the fact that there can only be one
packet on the network wire at any given time. Applying the same IP to both
cards is a very bad idea.
Later,
Jeff

Date: Tue, 11 May 1999 22:16:48 -0400
I have a 83c690 card that I use with the wd80x3 driver. I'm not sure
about the parameters syntax, but I seem to remember that the driver
probes automatically 2 addresses: 0x280 and 0x300. Try to change your
card address to one of these (mine has jumpers, and it's also a 16-bit
card) and see if this makes any difference.
Check this out, I just found in /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/wd.c the
addresses autoprobed: 0x300, 0x280, 0x380, 0x240
Also read /usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt, it's
very educative.
Hope this helps :)

You should have all root privs if you've su'd to root.
To reboot:-
> reboot
Or is that to complex ;-)
If you can't write a .conf file from vi try doing a forced write:-
:w!
Or check the privs on the file to see if it's writable
ls -la
-r--r--r-- Not writable file
-rw-r--r-- Writable by owner
etc
man chmod to find out how to change the file privs
