Greetings,

I have seen reference to using 'chat' as a method for autodialing on my
Linux firewall.  I have looked at the /sbin/request-route file but don't
have a clue as to how to set things up.  I've even looked for a HOW-TO
but can't seem to find one.
One individual suggested diald but after looking at the docs etc, it
just seems that there has to be an easier way to get auto dial.

Thanks!

I'm new at this, but I had problems running qpopper also. My problem,
which sounds similar to yours, was caused by me not having a user
called 'pop' on my system. The default version of qpopper expects this
user to be the administrator for qpopper (I think).

Dear all,

I'm having trouble getting my D-Link linux driver for the above card to work
under Redhat 6.0 (kernel 2.2.5).  The driver was written for Linux kernel

I actually got the driver to compile and everything, but I can't use the

: yes.  perhaps i'll get a cross-over cable one of these days.

the term 'hub' generally implies collision domains (not always, but
more often than not).  'switch' usually means that each PHY port is
its own datalink (layer-2).  having its own MAC (and its own counters
if its managable).  sometimes even its own IP addr.  and usually many
more $$$ in cost.

there are, of course, hybrids.  the bay networks 10/100 'hub' is a
2-port bridge ('switch') with 2 collision domains: one strip for 10
and one for 100.  when a device is plugged in, its a member of either
of those domains.  the two domains are 'switched' since they can't
directly be on the same exact collision domain (the timing is not the
same between 10 and 100).  this device is probably the best compromise
between functionality and cost (its about $100).  if you have to join
10 and 100 devices, this would be an economical way.

if you only have to join 2 devices, the BEST (always) is a crossover cable.

   Since the entire 192.168.x.y address range is defined as "private
space" by IANA, you'll have to serve the 0.168.192.in-addr.arpa zone
on your machine. This implies, of course, deploying a DNS server in
your own zone and keeping from "leaking" to the outside world.

   What you're seeing is your ISP's server, koeln.shuttle.de, denying
the request on the grounds that _it_ doesn't know of the
0.168.192.in-addr.arpa zone and then receiving notification from the
root servers that it's "blackholed". In those networks, it's assumed
that the admins will set up a private DNS for the local network and
forward (or address translate) to get "outside" onto the "public"
network.

Isn't it set up to disconnect after 1 minute or 30 seconds by default ?  So
if you are not using the connection it kills itself.  Not unexpected but
reported that way.  If you are using Kppp you can change the inactivity tome
somewhere on the setup.

Did you click on the details button.  It hints there what the problem may
be.

That is the maximum speed that you can get. The so called 56K
connections REQUIRE that one side be connected to the phone lines
directly with a digital modem (not a 56K modem) AND then only the link
from that side to the other can run at 53K. The return link is 33K
always. If neither side has a digital modem, then the max rate both ways
is 33K.

What evidence do you have the ppp is actually established?

run pppd debug on the Linux box. look at the output of the negotiation.

NO, but your routing could be screwed up. The linux box has to know
whether to send the packet down the ppp line of the ethernet. YOu could
be confusing it. ( route -n on the Linux machine.)

Just guessing, but has the virtusertable been converted to the
proper format with the makemap command?

I don't use this feature but I do use a genericstable.

The command is something like:

# makemap hash /etc/genericstable < /etc/genericstable

This creates a genericstable.db file in the /etc directory.

Something else to look at is if the name of the file sendmail
is looking for is spelled correctly.

Thanks to all who replied to tell me that it's perfectly normal for
the wd.c driver to report an I/O address of (say) 310 when the card is

The 8013W card still won't ping anything, and I'm beginning to suspect
it's just not compatible with the computer (Compaq Prolinea 486DX/50).

anything else at boot time just brings up angry beeping noises, and
doesn't stop the computer from going ahead and booting.  If anyone
knows how I might get into the BIOS, do let me know...)

To try to debug the problem, I put back the two Intel EtherExpress
cards that work fine with this computer and verified that both eth0
(external network) and eth1 (internal network) ping fine.

Then I swapped out the eexpress on eth1 (io300, irq10) with one of the
8013W's.  Now eth0 still works but eth1 won't ping the other computer
that's on the internal network.  I ran linuxconf to try to get it to
persuade the card to play ball, but it didn't work.

In my now rather befuddled state I imagine this means that I've
narrowed down the problem to the SMC card compatability (after all,
the EtherExpress in the same slot at the same IRQ/IO worked fine two
minutes ago).  And I have three SMC cards that I've been
interchanging, so it seems unlikely that all of them are defective;
besides, they are detected fine at boot time.  

I don't see how it could be a driver problem as the SMC EZSETUP
utility reports these cards as 8013W, and I'm using the wd driver
which finds the card at system startup.

In case anyone sees anything I've missed that would explain why the
SMC's aren't working, here's the output of dmesg, ifconfig, route -n
and netstat -a.  I'm going back to the EtherExpress's for now, but
would really like to hear from anyone who thinks he knows how to get
the SMC's working!  :)

Rohan.
