Hello everybody,
I have been using SuSE 6.0 for a few months now, but I haven't been able to
get my network cards working. They are NE2000 compatible(Realtek 8019
clones). In the howto's I was instructed to get the cards off PnP, and give
them an IRQ and IO, which I did.
Now, Linux finds the card, but I'm still not able to ping the machine from
my other Windows machines.
IP adress=192.168.100.3, should be ok, I guess.
Am I overseeing something?

Do a route -n and you should see a route to sl0.
Diald uses the Slip setup to trap ... blah blah blah ...
When you try to ping the outside world, watch your /var/log/messages to see
messages from diald.

First thing you need to do is run ifconfig and look at the network cards
which are running. If you don't see anything like "eth0" then try the
command:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.100.3
See what happens.. run ifconfig again and see if the card is listed now and
if it shows that IP address. next step is to make certain Linux is routing
through it.. type the command route and see what happens. You might try
adding something like this:
route add default gw 192.168.100.3
You may need to add eth0 to the route table. Most distributions set this
stuff up for you, but if you did it all manually then this is what you have
to do.

Hi !
Perhaps, but a far more simple and standard DNS & IPFWADM command would give a
transparent multi-net access and naming features to all your subnetworks, as I
did for myself.

Here�s my experience with smbmount and the newest kernel / distribution
.
You need at last samba 2.0.3 (!) and enabled smbfs in the kernel.
Then the syntax is smbmount //server/share -c 'mount /mount/point'

Does anyone know how i could change networking related parameters

I have solaris serving nis and clients are aix and linux.
I cannot for the life of me get linux to automount
things from nis maps. NIS is setup and running
correctly, it's an automount problem or something like
that. When an nis uses logs in it just says they have
no home directory('cause it won't mount it) and leaves
them in / or osmething like that. Any help or ideas
would be greatly appreciated.

: I have a general networking question.
: How the hell do dual-speed hubs work?
there are bridged segments and when a port is seen to be 10 or 100,
its placed on the appropriate 'bridge group' (the 10 group or the 100
group). then those two groups are grouped together. that's one way.
another way is that all ports of a speed/type are repeated and the
10's and 100's are bridged (buffered) together. I think that's the
way my mini bay net 10/100 hub works.
finally, on the high end, each port can be buffered separately (have
its own MAC) and the switching/routing/bridging logic passes datagrams
to/from ports when they're clear. queueing them when they're not
clear.

maybe you have duplex mismatches? if you're 'hubbing' then its
probably best to set things to all the same duplex: full or half.
10meg is usually half and 100meg is usually full, but auto-negotiation
rarely works well, so it sometimes helps to force one end to a known
steady state and let the other negotiate. can you try setting your
hosts to all half-duplex mode? that way, they'll 'behave' better when
trying to force their way thru the switch, so to speak.
: How are these *supposed* to work? I though I needed a switch to do this
: right (and from the looks of things, I may be right) but can anyone give me
: a clue?
switches are expensive. that hubbie is about $100, right? its really
just a learning bridge with two repeated segments (a 10 and a 100).
when you have collisions on the repeated segment, data is lost and NOT
buffered. its cheap and it works for light traffic. for more dense
traffic, you should get a real multiport bridge (not the 2port bridge
with lots of PHY ports, like that hubbie thing).
: (Everything is set to half-duplex. Client type doesn't matter -- Linux,
: Win95, WinNT, Solaris, TCP/IP printer, etc.)
so its not a software issue, its at the MAC layer. what happens if
you connect a single 10 and a single 100 station. does the hub crap
out then?

Well, you can do it with user-ppp.
First, get the latest version from http://www.Awfulhak.org/ppp.html
and install it on a suitable work machine and on your home machine.
Don't get anything with a date *before* 990513.
Call the machines ``work'' and ``home''.
Configure an additional tun device at home so that you have at least
two (``pseudo-device tun 2'' in your kernel config).
Connect to your ISP as normal, but remove the ``add default HISADDR''
line and change it to ``add workIP/workMASK HISADDR''.
Put the following profile in ppp.conf on ``work'':
vpn-in:
set timeout 0
set speed sync
set ifaddr workIP homeIP
enable pap passwdauth
Put the following line in /etc/services on both ``work'' and ``home'':
ppp 6671/udp
Put the following line in /etc/inetd.conf on ``work'':
ppp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/ppp ppp -direct vpn-in
Send a HUP to inetd at work and put this profile in ppp.conf
on ``home'':
vpn:
set timeout 0
set speed sync
set device workIP:
set authname yourlogin
set authkey yourpassword
set ifaddr homeIP workIP
add default HISADDR
Now, once ppp's connected to your ISP, use the vpn profile to
establish a VPN between you and your work machine. The VPN
uses synchronous ppp over udp.

Did you make a PPP connection, and then things stopped working? This
is caused if you don't give your PC a host name.
Use linuxconfig (or edit /etc/hosts and /etc/sysconfig/network) to
change your host name to mypc.mydomain (or anything other than
localhost.localdomain) and this problem goes away.
Suggestion: Red Hat should add a host name entry step during the
install, even if only dial-up PPP is being used.

Luckily, the dhcpcd client is in the RPMS directory on the CD.
Install it with rpm, then edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup
Change:
if /sbin/pump -i $DEVICE; then
to:
if /sbin/dhcpcd -h yourhostname $DEVICE; then
Check that eth0 is set as dhcp

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Thu, 13 May 1999 21:55:53 GMT
We are preparing to replace our Netware file server with a Linux
system running Samba. We considered an NT server, but Linux is what
we know and love.
I see one shortcoming under Samba, and I know there has to be a way
around it.
Under Netware, when the Win 9x client would login to the Netware
server, it would execute a login script, which would map the drives.
Similar capabilities exist under NT.
Under Samba, I (think) I have to "map a network drive" on the Win 9x
client via point & click. If the client ever boots when the server is
down (or not available), then the client will display a prompt, "Do
you want to reconnect the next time you log in?" If the user says
"No", the mapping is gone, and must be recreated manually.
How can we avoid this problem? Is there some script capability in Win
9x that remap the drives for us?
Thanks.

I assume you use kernel 2.0.x. You have to upgrade to 2.2.x, at least that

You don't need NIS for name service.
