Just in case you are interested -- Richard Nelson supplied the FAQ on
how Actiontec's modem should be run under Linux.
But until this modem is _physically_ available, this is
not more than a bed-time story to me...

Compuserve,AOL, anything that uses it's own software to connect to the internet
cannot work in Linux unless someone decides to take it upon themselves to port
said software into Linux. (HIGHLY doubtful..ever) As for me...well..AOL aint
grand, but it's free..(for me at the moment..being a poor student and all)

Bob,
I know how to fix your problem. The port 901 is what swat (samba
configurator) uses to bind to to configure samba. the linux1 part is the name
of your computer (localhost). You can try to access this utility by typing in
http://127.0.0.1:901 which is the loopback interface IP address for every
linux machine or you can try http://localhost:901 make sure that in you
/etc/hosts file you have 127.0.0.1 set to localhost. I am using this utility
but for some reason i have to use the ip address for my network card. I type
http://10.100.100.101:901 and then log in as root etc. If netscape says you
are not permited to login from this address then go into the /etc/smb.conf
file and add the line valid users = 127.0.0.1 in the global setion of the
smb.conf file. If you are still having problems let me know.

MPG encoding sounds like floating point math -- I think it will go
faster with a Celeron 400, which with a suitable motherboard you
should be able to easily overclock to 450 (75 Mhz. bus).

Subject: Usernet 'configuration'
Date: Tue, 11 May 1999 23:49:43 -0400
Hi there,
I've (finally) got my PPP connection to my ISP working (RH5.2) -
hurrah! Unfortunately i have to type this huge command in to start the
connection every time :
/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/modem 115200 debug user bk875 connect
"/usr/sbin/chat -v '' AT OK ATD5551234 CONNECT '\d\c'"
I'd like to use the 'quick-n-easy' Usernet app to turn ppp on/off but
using this does not seem to generate quite the right options for pppd.
What files control the options passed to pppd & chat via Usernet. I'd
have thought /etc/ppp/options,
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 and chat-ppp0 were the ones
but this doesn't quite ring true.
Forgive this probably rather stupid question but i'm still learning!
Alternatively if anyone knows a better way to start/stop PPP (on
demand/startup) please point me in that direction!
Many thanks
Steve H

Use the ipxripd daemon from Caldera. This will enable you to route ipx over
ppp connections. I have it working for several months now.
This url may help.

Date: Tue, 11 May 1999 23:24:29 GMT
Well, I installed Debian and got my PCMCIA ethernet card connected to
another network very quickly. In the RedHat pcmcia network.opts
script (I can't remember what directory they put it in) I had DHCP=y.
No IP address, netmask, gateway assigned, since the DHCPD on the
network I am connecting to should handle all that. However, this did
not have any effect.
Under Debian I immediately found /etc/pcmcia/network.opts and
interestingly enough there was no "DHCP= " line in the script so I
just added it and everything worked after that.
I do not wish to start any domestic disputes or flaming wars, but at
the same time I want to feel free to complain about a system which I
could not get working, spent a long time wracking my brain on, and
could find almost no documentation on. The only thing that I myself
would consider to be an edge with RedHat is its installation process.
Yes I am aware of the LDP. I have a copy of "Running Linux" sitting
next to me all the time when I am working with Linux.
If you read the section on networking there and then try to use that
info to configure RedHat I think you will be very confused.
I am grateful for your support and hopefully the next time I post to
Usenet it will be via a Usenet client running under linux :-)

Hi,
I am upgrading from a stoneold system to RH6.0.
Routing has been set via a file before, all the ifconfig and route

I fiddled around with /etc/sysconfig/static-routes but I cant get the
right entries to get the following output (routing on old machine):

I also get the wrong entries in the ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth1. I just

I'd appreciate some help on how to set it up. I tried a couple hours -
no luck.

How do you go about complaining about noise ? I've had Sprint local (they

Subject: Re: Help: NFS/mount params ineffective
Date: 12 May 1999 07:30:26 GMT
Hi,
I think what you want to do is have a working nfs server,
allowing your clients to mount the filesystem and having some
programs accessing files. Then you want to kill the nfs server,
by powering it off or just unplugging the network connection.
The options you give for mounting affect the nfs behaviour in
this case, like retrying until a success is achieved or
giving up and returning an error. I believe that leaving the
nfs server powered off from the start just tells you how long
an rpc timeout is, but killing it once its filesystem is being
accessed gives you the information you want.
Is this what you want to do?
Bye,
