Your ethernet card was not initialized properly. Here are some reasons why
this
may have happened, and the solutions:
1. Your kernel does not contain support for your card. Including all the
network drivers in a Linux kernel can make it too large to even boot, and
sometimes including extra drivers can cause system hangs. To support
your
ethernet, either edit /etc/rc.d/rc.modules to load the support at
boottime,
or compile and install a kernel that contains support.
2. You don't have an ethernet card, in which case you should comment out
this
section of /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1. (Unless you don't mind seeing this
error...)

# Uncomment these to set up your IP routing table.

Subject: How do I setup up email via UUCP?
Date: Sun, 16 May 1999 11:11:13 +0300
I am trying to help a small non-profit school provide adequate email for
their students. The school has a domain name which is presently being
hosted on some machine.
Presently all the students email is aliased to one email account and
then from there it is retrieved by a local machine which tries to sort
it. This is clearly not the best method and probably using some sort of
UUCP type of connection to a server willing to host the domain name and
willing to spool all mail there for us would be better.
My question is HOW do I do this? I am looking for documentation for all
of this. Ideally I would like documentation that would detail how to
set this up both on my local Linux box and on the hosting server.
Anyone have any ideas where I can find such info?
Please respond to either this email address or to the news group.
Thanks,
Joshua

Subject: Linux and Macs Networked Together...
Date: Sun, 16 May 1999 08:16:40 -0400
I am really new at this linux stuff, and I have waded thru tons of FAQs, and
still can't figure this problem out.
Here is my setup: Two Powerpc Macs running Mac OS 8.6 and a P166 running
Windoze 98 all on a single Ethernet LAN. One of the Macs serves as a
softrouter running IPNetRouter and sharing a single 56k modem that dials a
local ISP on demand. The other Mac and the Windoze machine both are set up
as clients and the IPNetRouter Mac is the router/gateway machine. Believe
it or not this setup actually works quite well for family use.
Now I want to setup linux on the P166 machine so that it can use that same
softrouter. When I run Windoze on the P166 it all works fine; all I had to
do in Windoze is set up a network with the Mac Router IP address
(192.168.0.1) as the Gateway; put in the ISP DNS servers as DNS Servers; and
give the Windoze machine its own IP Address (192.168.0.2).
That was fairly simple in Windoze. How do I do it in linux?
Which leads to some more basic questions:
1. How do I make sure linux sees and uses the Ethernet Card in the P166?
2. How do I set up Linux so that it thinks it is just on a LAN, which is in
reality what I have set up here?
I don't think linux would know or care that another machine on the LAN is
actually a softrouter rather than a hardware box. Shouldn't it look the
same to linux?
Anyone who can help me with this rather basic question would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks.

I am not really an expert but I think you either have to compile the
driver into the kernel or else it must be loaded as a kernel module (look
into /etc/rc.d/rc.modules). Otherwise or if the card is not recognized
then you won't have a /dev/eth0 device. PCI ethernet cards do not use com
ports; the things to specify are I/O address, interrupt level, DMA channel
etc. You should be able to find them out using W95 device manager, or
maybe the Linux drivers came with a tool to set it up.
Did you read the ethernet HOWTO ?

Date: Sun, 16 May 1999 13:05:19 GMT
Thanks Ashley. John Thompson also put me on to this in a direct correspondence.
Here is what I've found:
The host is a firewall running Linux. Internally it is set up in hosts
as:
192.168.1.100 roark
I have a static IP address on TCI@Home connected outside:
24.7.248.71 c747611-a.roalok1.mi.home.com fader.dyns.cx
I am using DMfader.dyns.cx as the name of the mailhost in sendmail.cf.
(Dyns.cx provides dynamic DNS to me for free.) Now, if I use the
hostname command to set my hostname to roark, I get the delay. If I set
it to fader, sendmail starts up quickly. It doesn't seem to matter what
I put in /etc/hosts.
I think the names for the two interfaces have to be different, and I
would prefer to keep hostname set as roark. Do you know of any magic
sendmail parameter to allow me to do this and keep sendmail happy too?

Seems to me the simplest solution would be to make the files 'group' read
write and 'others' as read only. Then make the members of the sales be the
group owners of the files. Of course anyone with an account on that system
will be able to read the files, not just those 13 users. So it may not be
exactly what you want.
Make all sales users are a member of the same group. /etc/group and or
/etc/passwd
Change the group ownership of the files: see chgrp
Change permissions on the files: see chmod (chmod 664 'file')

This is quoted firectly from the FAQ file included in the pppd source
code file:
========================================================================
Q: When I try to establish a connection, I get an error message saying
"Serial link is not 8-bit clean". Why?
A: The most common cause is that your connection script hasn't
successfully dialled out to the remote system and invoked ppp service
there. Instead, pppd is talking to something (a shell or login
process on the remote machine, or maybe just the modem) which is only
outputting 7-bit characters.
This can also arise with a modem which uses an AT command set if the
dial command is issued before pppd is invoked, rather than within a
connect script started by pppd. If the serial port is set to 7
bits/character plus parity when the last AT command is issued, the
modem serial port will be set to the same setting.
Note that pppd *always* sets the local serial port to 8 bits per
character, with no parity and 1 stop bit. So you shouldn't need to
issue an stty command before invoking pppd.

Looks like you need to add a default route to ppp0
route add default gw dev ppp0
Somehow you also have 2 identical routes you your local net, this probably
won't cause any problems,
but you might look for where it is happening.
I also noticed your MSS size is 0. This may cause problems. You can set
this via ifconfig. I have an MTU
size of 1500 for all my interfaces eth0 and ppp0, you might try the same.

One solution to your problem is to install a late version of BIND. It has
capability to dynamically change it's tables. I have heard rumors that it
can be directly connected to DCPD server for dynamic updates. Where is
also a possibility to extract the IP-addresses for the computers on a
smb-network through nmblookup. I think there is a script that does this an
produces a file for BIND in the examples section in the Samba
documentation.

I use Exceed V4 with no problems.
I couldn't get rexec to work but rlogin works fine, and is probably the most
desirable way to do it anyway.
First of all make sure the Exceed X server is running on the PC with Win98.
If it isn't running then you will get the
X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: 192.168.1.3:0.0
error message.
To test the functionality of the Exceed server do the following.
At the command line on the Linux box type xterm -display 192.168.1.3:0 &
This will create a new terminal which should appear on your PC.
If this works then basically your setup is fine. I'm not sure about this but
I think the mistake you made is with 0.0 instead of just 0.
Next create the Exceed script which will automate this one stage further and
associate with an icon as you have done. I personally have created a
shortcut on my desktop called "Connect To Server".
I have been using this for a while now and have had no problems. Can run
Netscape, linuxconf, Word Perfect and all other X programs. Watch out for
StarOffice 5.0 however (if you use it), will probably crash not only the
Win98 PC upon startup but possibly also the Linux box.
You can then change the parameters of the switches as you require.
Note also when you issue new X programs on Exceed terminal, they will start
on the Win98 PC and not the linux box, so as long as you get one terminal
working then everthing else is a doddle.
If it doesn't work e-mail me.
