Hi All,
<p>I have a RedHat 5.2 system running (kernel 2.0.36-7) but I can't get
my
<br>D-Link 200 TP card to work. I read somewhere to use de NE2000 driver
for it,
<br>so I did.
<p>/etc/conf.modules
<br>-----------------
<br>alias eth0 ne
<br>options ne io=0x300 irq=11
(According to W95 which is running also on
<br>
my PC on another disk).
<p>When I try a modprobe ne, I get the following error:
<br>ne.c: No NE*000 card found at i/o=0x300
<br>insmod: /lib/modules/2.0.36/net/ne.o: init_module: Device or resource
busy.
<p>What is wrong, am I not using the correct driver, should I use another
one? Is
<br>there a special driver for my card (D-Link 200 TP)?
<br>Can anyone help?
<p>Thanx in advance,
<p>Richard.

Subject: qmail then need to forcecr
Date: Mon, 17 May 1999 12:53:14 +0100
I have recently switched from sendmail to qmail and have had to include a
'forcecr' in my fetchmail configuration to receive my test mailings.
Has the linefeed problem been introduced by qmail or has it always been
present (within kmail of KDE 1.1) but sendmail would accept it? More to the
point, how can I eliminate the linefeed error.

Never mind. For some reason I could not get to the site all weekend
from home. From work on Monday morning it was no problem.

Subject: Mixing twisted pair and thinnet?
Date: Mon, 17 May 1999 13:35:57 GMT
I've currently got a network with four nodes on it, using 10-base-2 thinnet.
I'm looking to add two more nodes to is, and finding that 10-base-2 is on
its way out in a hurry.
Almost all of my cards are combination 10-base-2 / 10-base-T. My question
is if there is any way to enable both transceivers on a card so that it
would form a bridge between the two networks? Are there any 10-base-T hubs
that have a thinnet connection on them?
Also, what about the following situation?
Five PCs and a printer are connected via 10-base-2 thinnet, using some
subnet address X. Two of the PCs are also connected to each other via
10-base-TX using some other subnet address Y, so both PCs are multi-homed
hosts, but neither functions as a gateway.
The Y connection is 10 times as fast as the X connection. How can I
encourage those two PCs to prefer it, or even to load-balance between
the two if possible? Setting the hop count manually could be done, but
that sounds enough like a hack that I think there is something better.

Probably no time soon. See below, though....

You can join the development effort for Mwave hardware under Linux. See:
http://www.flexion.org/mwave/
If you aren't both a competent programmer and willing to wait, though,
your best bet is to replace the Mwave board with a conventional modem and
sound card.
If you ONLY want 8-bit SoundBlaster sound from it, you CAN get that today,
however. You need to boot DOS and use the DOS utilities to kick the board
into SB 8-bit mode. When you use LOADLIN or <Ctrl-Alt-Del> to reboot to
Linux, you can use it with 8-bit SoundBlaster drivers.

Hi,
I'm interested to know is there any good videoconference tools for
Linux (e.g. like NetMeeting for Windows?). And what kind of
system/hardware reguirements are needed to build up the system?I'm using
R.H.5.2.Also I need information about cameras,drivers and graphic cards.

well, i didn't know there was any difference. i'm not as computer smart as
all of you. this modem came with my computer. i didn't buy it seperately.
if i had known it was going to matter, i probably would have. i was running
win98 and was getting bored with it, so i got redhat 5.2, and started
playing around with it. i never read anything anywhere about winmodems not
working until i got to the nitty gritty of actually setting it up.
for those that were civil, thanks.
for those that were rude, no thanks.

Good day -
I am new to Linux and networking. I have programmed in Unix at work, so I am
comfortable in the environment. But by no means would I ever be mistaken for
an admin. I have two PC's at home - one running Linux (Redhat 5.2) and the
other running Winblows 98. Eventually I will add more machines for my
children, and I don't know what OS those will have (hopefully Linux).
I would like to set up a home network with my Linux box as the server
handling internet (modem now, DSL later) and print services. I have the
wiring in place and think that I want to go with a hub. But I am quite
ignorant about networks and really would like to find a good book to help me
learn the basics.
Thanks for your help.
Sincerely,
David

Subject: Q: "optimize as router not host"
Date: Mon, 17 May 1999 12:57:29 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi everyone,
I have a question concerning the behaviour of the Linux kernel
(let's say 2.2.8) when CONFIG_IP_ROUTER is set. The only effect
this seems to have is that the copy_and_checksum for Ethernet
devices is simply replaced by a memcpy. Now, my question is :
then where (in the kernel) is the IP checksum of an arriving
IP packet calculated ? Why was this distinction made ? The
IP checksum has to be calculated anyway, right ?
Kind regards,

I found out one of the problems that was keeping xdm from working. Somehow
in the upgrade my /etc/hosts file was truncated. Now xdm works again like
it always did, but gdm and I presume kdm still wont work. Any ideas?

I use the Olicom 3137 PCI Card with kernel 2.2.7 on Stampede Linux, and
it works very well. I belive IBM PCI cards are now supported, see
