We are using Redhat 5.2 with a cheap noname generic $15.00
10baseT. The TCI tech very nicely left us with the 3com
network card for future growth. He however ran away before
we got the linux box up. Which took about 10 minutes.
Rating for the card 100
Very nice to watch a linux box turn the windows machine into
a snail.

Date: Mon, 24 May 1999 21:04:59 +0200
Thanks for the tip but I haven't tried it jet.
I did solve the problem in another way.
Instead of using the syncPPP protocol I now use the V120 protocol
to connect to my provider.
This does work well.
The V120 protocol isn't supported by my provider at least that is
what the html pages do say.
I do expect that these pages are out of date.
My provider is demon.nl
For people who want to knwo how to change a
Analog modem support to an external ISDN AT
After I got this info I did had to change only some minor things.
I added ATB20 after the init string to select the V120 protocol.
And added an AT command to tell the ISDN to tell which
phone number of mine to use.
Also changed the ATDTphone_number to ATDIphone_number.
I had to omit the password and user name out of the chat script also
because my provider uses PAP authentivication on ISDN
Because the provider uses PAP I had to edit the
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets
Also I did make some changes to the
/etc/ppp/option file
This are the general options used by pppd
Like hardware flow etceteras.
Don't know if this one is completly correct but it works.
In the past I did start my analoge modem with
/sbin/ifup ppp0
Other kind of connections are also started with this script the parameter
now ppp0 then changes
This script is also called when you start the ppp connection from
Xwindows
ifdown is its counter part
I do use Redhat 5.1 which is a SysV like system.
here are the locations of the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/chat-ppp0
/etc/ppp/options
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets
/sbin/ifup
/sbin/ifdown
there are symlinks to ifup and ifdown in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
The only thing I now have to do as route to make the ISDN connection
/sbin/ifup ppp0
and
/sbin/ifdown ppp0
I hope for the next people that the find this info usefull.

I just got this working last week, except on a 765L. Here's a repost of
the procedure I used:
Briefly, the installation goes like this:
1. install rh6.0
2. reboot
3. compile and install linux 2.2.9 kernel, w/ Token Ring
support and Tropic chipset as module
4. reboot
5. untar pcmcia-cs-3.0.10
replace pcmcia-cs-3.0.10/modules/{i82365.[ch],ricoh.h} with
pcmcia-cs-3.0.5 counterparts. I didn't use the tr225 or bsm patches
floating around, mostly because I inferred that they'd been rolled into
2.2.9 and 3.0.10 code, but I might be wrong.
6. make config; make all; make install
7. commend out high memory in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts, like this:
include memory 0xc0000-0xfffff, #, memory 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff
8. reboot
I'll be happy to provide more info as necessary. Since then, I've used it
extensively and without any problems. However, be sure to unmount remote
file systems and ifconfig tr0 down before you eject the card.

Hi,
here's the situation.
1-nt server (pdc) ip-192.168.1.1 in nt domain
1-nt wkst ip-192.168.1.2 in nt domain
1-linux (gateway) ip-192.168.1.3 2nd nic ip-216.102.196.4
-all on the same hub
I would like to know if it's possible to have IIS4 (web server) on my NT
server, and also have linux as a gateway,... with apache web server too.
So anything that has .asp gets forwared to the IIS machine. This is a
crazy setup,... but I have to work with asp as a contractor... but would
like to fool around a bit with apache and linux.
Please,... any comment or pointers to resources would be greatly
appreciated--no need to get into details, I just want to know if it's
possible.

The only clue I have is I have had trouble with both Netgear FA310TX

Ok, new problem that no one I know who's running it has. My ftp isn't
working right on files larger then 30k....and my email client (Outlook and
others I've tried) fails to download messages larger then 30 k. I'm running
linux 2.2.9 with ip masquerading (everything else with the masquerading
works fine, ie telnet, http, etc) and running the internet connection across
a dynamic ip PPP connection. Now, like I said, everything but ftp and pop3
seem to not mind about the size of files. Any help appreciated.

Subject: 3c905B card problems
Date: Mon, 24 May 1999 16:39:18 GMT
I have been to Donald Becker's web site,
downloaded the latest 3c59x.c file (which includes
fixes for the 3c905B card). I rebuilt the kernel
(version 2.0.36) and now at boot the 3c905B card
is recognized but the kernel panics when it cannot
mount the root device
PARTITION CHECK:
VFS: CANNOT OPEN ROOT DEVICE 08:01
KERNEL PANIC: VFS: UNABLE TO MOUNT ROOT FS ON 08:01
I have checked with rdev the kernel is looking for
/dev/sda1 (which is correct).
The default Redhat 5.2 kernel (2.0.36) boots and
finds the root device with no problem; however it
cannot identify the 3c905B card. Any thoughts?
I'm stumpted.
Thanks,
Jim Barker

Hello;
I am a Master's of Management Information

candidate at Auburn University, Auburn, AL. I
am doing research into
the problems encountered during migration from
one network operating
system to another as part of my master's

I fully appreciate that this topic is not
something one can read about

is to
provide a broad overview of problems

in-depth tweaking methods.
To aid my research, I am conducting a
web-based survey about Network
Operating System Migration. If you have
participated in a Network
Operating System Migration, I would appreciate
your participation in my

Subject: Help with profiles in Windows 98
Date: Mon, 24 May 1999 19:55:34 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have tried to setup user profiles in Windows 98. It seems that
deleting the user profiles in the registry leads Windows 98 to believe
that the registry has been corrupted. It then fixes the registry and
reboots.
Windows 98 has a key in the registry which indicates what folders the
users profiles are stored in. I want to modify these keys to point to
the netlogon on the samba server.
I considered using the Remote Administration tool to do this, but this
requires using user-level access control to share resources on the
workstation.
However when I try to add users it appears that the workstation cannot
retrieve the list of users from the samba.
Is there a setting required in smb.conf to enable this?
In short is the inability of the workstations to access the user list
from samba a bug in Windows 98, samba or both, or is it just a
configuration on my part.

I think you have a problem with Windows doing "opportunistic locking" on
these files. If Windows THINKS it has exclusive access to the file, it
gets cached LOCALLY on the client.
If everybody would access the files via samba, you should not have a
problem.
But if you access the file local on the server (or via NFS), Samba might
not know that and give out an OPLOCK to the first Win client accessing
the file.
So best in your situation would be to turn off oplocks in smb.conf.
Greetings,
Thomas

If you are just hooking the two machines together and not to a hub, you

I don't see how that's possible as you are now using more bandwidth to
