Hi all, got a continuing thing here. I have set up ppp on my RH
5.2 box. Runs perfectly under the root. When I switch to a user accnt,
though, the ppp connection remains, but I can't use it! No ping, no
browing, no ftp, hell, I can't even run ifconfig! I know it has
something to do the permissions set on the systems, but where the heck
can I set those? Also, I have created a new group (internet) that
contains root and the user accnt. I want this group to have access to
all ppp and net configs. How do I go about that?
Any help appreciated!
Thanks
Shawn

I looked in /etc/pcmcia/config and it lists the Linksys Combo PCMCIA
Ethernet Card so I guess I have the software for card services loaded and
this PCMCIA Ethernet card is supported. When the system boots it always
says that ethernet initialization is being delayed.
But when I try to configure the ethernet eth0, I am never given the chance
to use "pcnet_cs" which is listed in the /etc/PCMCIA/config file. The only
choices I'm given appear to be non-PCMCIA ethernet cards. What am I doing
wrong?
Also, although I have a man page for cardinfo, there is no cardinfo
executable anywhere to be found. The 3Com Noteworthy 56k PCMCIA modem card
works fine.
Any ideas?

That's true, but if you want to kill ftpd, you have to kill inetd. And
if you kill inetd, you also loose telnet, pop3 and all the other
services you have defined in /etc/inetd.conf.
A workaround for this problem is that you make a script that stops
inetd, replaces your current inetd.conf file with a version without ftpd
and the restart inetd. (and of course a second script that reverses this
proces :)

That depends. I compared startup times for the same (old dos) program on
these combinations:
dos to NW3.12 fast
dos box/nt to NW3.12 very slow
dosemu to NW3.12 slow
dos to MARS fast
After the program (a db application) is started there is little difference
apart from screen updates where dos box/nt in a window is terribly slow whereas
xdos is nearly as fast as real dos.

will happen if you don't do that. I am not good with pppd though so i am

Slackware 3.6 would have come with 2.0.35; I think either 3.2 or 3.3

Sounds like a typical IP masquerading (NAT) setup.

It's possible that it is a simple configuration option with the cable
modem, but it would not surprise me if this was something they charged
extra for.

[snip details]
| Now, from one of the Windows 98 PCs, I can ping any PC (192.168.103.x)

| (192.168.103.1), and I can also ping the eth0 interface Master-if1
| (192.168.100.2) and the cable modem (192.168.100.1).
|
| Now the problem is that I can use one of the Windows 98 PCs to access
| the cable modem, through the Linux box gateway. I can see the web page
| at 192.168.100.1 and press the connect button and have the cable modem
| dialout and connect to the internet. The cable modem will establish a
| connection, but the Windows 98 PC can not reach anything on the
| internet.
You need to masquerade the 192.168.103.x addresses as 192.168.100.2,
or set the cable modem to masquerade additional 192.168.100.x
addresses for you.
BTW, we don't need the 500+ lines of the image and the same post in
HTML. If you knew how much it cost to send that around the world, and
had to foot the bill yourself, I doubt you would want to, so it's only
fair not to expect others to do the same.

Notice that a) your connectivity provider's policies may object to this,
b) spammer domain SMTP may not allow through attachments so large. Past

I currently have two machines running Linux. Machine A runs Linux
v2.0.36 and Machine B runs v2.2.9, both Slackware v3.6. Machine A's IP
is 192.168.1.1 and Machine B's IP is 192.168.1.2. I have IP Masq.
successfully setup and everything works great. Here's my question:
Machine A has the connection to the internet (a 56K modem) and is
connected to Machine B with cheap NE2000 Ethernet cards. I would like
to divert any incoming (from the internet) traffic on port 119 (news) to
Machine A, to Machine B. How do I do this with IPFWADM? I basically
have a newsserver setup on machine B and I want it to take over when
someone tries to connect to Machine A on port 119. Although on Machine
A, I would like all other services (POP3, Web, FTP, etc) to remain on
Machine A. Is this even possible?
Also, if the above situation works out, how could I set my network up so
that any incoming(from the internet) Telnet connections made on (lets
say) port 4000 on Machine A would be forwarded to Machine B. Machine B
would take over and run in.telnetd. I know how to setup Machine B to
run the telnet deamon on port 4000, I just need help on how to get
Machine A to "let Machine B take control" so to speak.
Thank you VERY much in advance for any help or advice! Please forward
any response to my EMail address... flare(at)teleport.com.

I have tried just about everything I have read or guessed at to get this
board up. I have tried via-rhine, ne, ne-pci, etc. Rearranging the
cards/slots. Disabling Pnp.
The machine works fine under w95 (internet and peer to peer). But Linux
can't find the NIC at installation, and won't see it when I feed it the
I/O that the DOS utility gives me (e480h) and the IRC (9). I have
re-installed several times.
I even tried putting an ISA Linksys in that I know works in w95, but
Linux won't see that card either (NE2000 compatible).
I called D-Link, and they say there is no way to disable PnP.
I have tried:
/etc/conf.modules
alias eth0 via-rhine
/etc/sysconfig/ifup-eth0
insmod via-rhine
/etc/sysconfig/ifdown-eth0
rmmod via-rhine
No joy.
What gives? I have a Tyan mobo, if that matters.

I set up my ppp stuff under RH5.2, everything seems fine at first.
Everything is ok, like ping, telnet, netscape,..., but after a while I found
something really unusual that the net speed is extremely slower than
that under windows system. I can hardly surf the net by using netscape
under RH, and when I download something from the net, the speed
is extremely slower than under windows.
I'm wondering if I did something wrong with the configuration or
something not configured well with the modem, I've got a u.s. robotics
external modem 56k, but the speed looks like only 56 :(

for diald i.e when the connection is idle it disconnects here in about
8 minutes, idle 0 does not work in the options and idle 0 in the diald

Check your modem manual. If it says it's a Win-Modem, go out and buy a real
one.
Check /dev to see if the if a symbolic link there called modem, and that
it's pointing to the correct device.
ls -l /dev/modem
should come back with something like:-
<all sorts of crap then> modem -> /dev/cua1
If not create one from the appropriate device:-
ln -s /dev/cua1 /dev/modem
You'll need to know what com port your modem is set up on.
cua1 is equiv. to com2 in Winxx (cua0 - cua3 = com1 - com4).
Then try using minicom to just access the modem
>From within minicom try typing "at" and hit enter
It should come back with a Ok message
If it does, it's there and working.

I was having a lot of problems (lockups) whenever I tried to take
control of the ifconfig and the route commands myself. Calling network
stop|start effectively does the same thing, just a little cleaner.
Changing the above four files...
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts-eth0
/etc/HOSTNAME
/etc/hosts
/etc/resolv.conf
seems to do the trick for TCP-IP only. This also keeps things very
clean when I re-boot (power down | power back up) the laptop. I have
yet to look into what additional ramifications will need to be endured
to facilitate dynamic samba on my laptop as well...

Try turning PnP off in the MB's BIOS. It should have a setting for
whetheror not you have a PnP OS.
This card uses the Tulip driver (thought), did you try selecting that?

There's an updated DHCP RPM available that may correct the
problem you're seeing. Take a look for dhcpcd-1.3.16-0.i386.rpm

There are a variety of X server packages for Windows (see Tucows), or
you might give VNC a try. It's a "full screen" package that allows you
to share the X console among multiple sessions. The beatiful thing is
that you can close the vncviewer on one Windows box and pick up where
you left off on another.
See www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/index.html for more details.
