Thanks, Mike, I certainly appreciate the help! It's amazing that with the
books I have on Linux, I couldn't find any helpful mention of APM. Your
suggestions will help immensely. Will attempt this within a few days when I
can get the time.
Again, thanks!

You got 2 problems... 1) posting too long a log file... you should trim out
repetitive stuff; 2) you have a quote-mark problem in your pppd command line.
After the chat -v try 2 single quotes, instead of the one double-quote.

Date: Mon, 24 May 1999 22:23:58 GMT
I'm trying to set up my Linksys Etherfast 10/100 to run on a Linux box
but can't seem to get Linux to recognize it. When the machine boots up
I get these messages:
% Setting up Network Device eht0
% SCIOSIFADDR: No such device
% SCIOSIFBRDADDR: No such device
% SCIOSIFNETMASK: No such device
[Using SuSE 5.1 kernel 2.0.33]

I compiled the tulip driver and when I do "insmod tulip", I get this
message:

Any ideas about what's causing the problem? I'd really appreciate some
help. Thanks in advance.

I have read a few web pages that say I can use ipautofw to enable
Netmeeting conferences successfully through my Linux firewall. I have
also read that ipportfw is a replacement for ipautofw. Can I use
ipportfw to enable Netmeeting as well? I have PC Anywhere working with
ipportfw but have had no luck with Netmeeting. Any help on this would

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I am having the exact same problem on a Redhat 6.0 system. It matters not
how I set the time. In a short period (roughly 1-5 minutes) the OS will
change time either 4 hours ahead or 4 hours behind. Once it makes the jump
then it remains stable there but if I change the time then it jumps again.
The system clock doesn't change though.

ip masquerading u will probably want to do, and a proxy u will have to
do b/c your ISP only gives u one IP address. Your gateway when
connected to the net will essentially have 2 IPs. One from your ISP for
being connected to the net and the other oen will be for the internal
networku set up so that it can talk to the other computer. When u are
offline the gateway will still have this IP.

how would that change just by giving only the one computer direct access
to the cable modem thereby putting in 2 ethernet cards in the
'gateway'...or would the results change at all?

if it were me i woudlnt worry about it. When your users update their
info its not like its life or death that you update their info also on
your end. You can still talk to them so unless this was causing u to not
be able to connect at all then i woudlnt worry about it. THe users on
my list update their info every once in a while and i dont even know it
so its not like it hurts you if u dont know about it.
