Outlook times out and prompts me to cancel, work offline or retry. The NT
server is not aware of the linux machine, i.e. does not have the linux
machine as a gateway, it has none. The win machines running outlook and not
aware of the linux machine can access exchage. It's just the win machines
that have the linux machine listed as their gateway and the dns settings
from the isp., i.e. the ones that can access the internet.

Hi all,
I am new at Linux and just successfully installed in my PC. I am trying to
link up it up to another PC. The network cards I have are Compex RL2000
PCI. How do I get the device driver for it? Also, is there any good
magazine out there (or website) on LINUX (for amateurs)?
Thank you very much.

in RedHat 6.0 you can type:
mount -t smbfs \\(NETBIOS Name)\(Shared Folder) (Linux mount-point)
I believe in RedHat 5.2 the line is:
smbmount \\(NETBIOS Name)\(Shared Folder) (Linux mount-point) -c (Netbios
Name)

Date: Fri, 14 May 1999 13:50:25 +0100
Dear Friends,
I'm new in Linux, but I used to know a bit about UNIX.
I'm going to try to explain my problem to see if some one can help me.
HardWare:
NE2000 board configured and with IP 192.0.0.129/255.255.255.0
Modem USRobotics connected to /dev/ttyS0
Software:
Linux Kernel 2.2.5
PPPD 2.3
So my problem is...
I've a network with IP's from 192.0.0.1/255.255.255.0 to
192.0.0.254/255.255.255.0 and I need to connect the computer with IP
192.0.0.129 to internet via PPP and then share with the others.
My PPPD configurations seems to be Ok, because in 192.0.0.129 machine all
works perfectly, I can ping all addresses, the access to my ISP DNS server
works ok.
All the other machines can PING all IP's in 192.0.0.xxx but can't connect
to Internet IP's.
Can some one with this info tell me what is going on.
Thanks,

Yes I checked, but that is not the problem. but now my problem has become more

Subject: hosts.deny 'ALL: ALL' and still unauthorized access ?
Date: 16 May 1999 16:11:58 GMT
Reply-To: address_below
Hi,
Can someone give me a hint to whether my box has been accessed from the net
without permission ?
I have a little system which I have not yet set up to open it up as a server
to the net. So I have, according to the ISPhookupHOWTO, set the access
permissions :
hosts.deny ALL: ALL
hosts.allow ALL: LOCAL
hosts.equiv localhost
I thought that this would deny any login to anyone that is not on my local
system.
However, when reading a web page yesterday, I heard my HD rattling a bit too
long, and did a � netstat a � and got:
Active Internet connections (w/o servers)

and syslog has a line:
May 16 00:10:45 MyBox in.telnetd[493]: warning: can't get client address:
Connection reset by peer
Unfortunately, that is all that I have.
I have never been to this www.scd.ie. Don't the �auth�'s mean that login
prompts had been given for the www.scd.ie-IP# ? Or do I miss something
obvious ?
I have 2 questions:
If a login prompt has been given to a "foreign" client, shouldn't this have
been prevented by the ALL in hosts.deny (as far as I'm concerned, an �access
denied for now � is enough). If not, what's been going on here ?
I'd want a logfile of everyone who's tried (unsuccessfully) to login. How to?
I would be glad with a pointer to the right doc of course.

You may have a version of login not matching the method used on your to
store passwords. Reinstall login from the distribution or do recompile
it properly.

It's true that /etc/hosts.* are not the issue in this case. But not
because FTP does work fine. One can select services and hosts in these
files. But access is denied due to the content of those files the
connection is simple dropped. The client will get a message like
"Connection closed by foreign host."

You can't connect a Linux box with win95 Direct Cable Connection.
It means that you should use DUN(Dialup Networking) and it's much faster.
Visit here:
http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue41/smyth.html
!!Remember that you should make sure you have a RIGHT cable!!
If this site doesn't help you, mail me.
I'll suggest another solution.

We have SuSE Linux 6.1 (Kernel 2.2.x) in both server and client.
We mount through NFS a Linux server with the command:
# mount -o sync 192.1.1.32:/home/servdir /home/clientdir
Everything seems to work well, but when we modify the data in the 16 first
characters of a text file in the server, in the client the data remains
unchanged: the command "head -1 datafile" shows the old contents of the
server file.
What can we do to solve this ?

normally you need a switch not a hub for connection at different speeds and
normally an autowitchting hub means, that it would detect the speed
automatically for the whole hub (NOT FOR EVERY SINGLE PORT!!! - this does

You have to recompile the kernel. In the configuration menu, go to
"Character devices" and change the line that says "Maximum number of
