Don't configure the card during install. Do it later with linuxconf. You'll
need to pass the io port address to the driver (probably 0xa20) and possibly
the IRQ. Even if you do everything right it'll be slow overall and won't
provide multicast or promiscuous mode support. ONLY IBM "Tropic" chipset
NICs are supported officially, although I've heard there is a Madge PCI
driver out there now.

I was the same option exept for the asyncmap and connected with no
problem with chat. KPPP works pretty good too. But you should not need
any extra ISDN stuff in the kernal. The ISDN stuff on the kernal is
for internal ISDN cards. Make sure your pap-sercrets is in the
/etc/ppp directory.

A quick check would be this:

What do you see? If you see something like:

Then Netscape should work. If you dont, then you *do* have a
routing problem. Perhaps you need some proxy setting that you had
earlier but lost after the upgrade...?
Also, when you say "ping, FTP [...] work fine", can you ftp from
some site out in the world (something not in your ISP's domain)?

Subject: Netscape Communicator design weakness??
Date: Wed, 02 Jun 1999 18:42:00 -0600
Perhaps I' m missing something, but it seems to me that the Linux
versions of Communicator have a serious usability flaw. Like most home
users, my access to the
internet is via a ppp dial up connection. Like most, I use this to
handle email as well as newsgroups....however increasingly, I am
beginning to use the browser for
more offline uses as more and more documentation is written in html. It
is this combination of online/offline useage that is quite problematic
from what I can see
with the Linux Communicator...it doesn't appear to have an offline mode.
I'm ceratinly open to any sage advice on this matter but from my
experience the following problem developes. Out of the box and before
dialup mail and news is
configured, Communicator can access local files with good speed when
either logged onto my ISP or not.. However I have found that once email
is configured that behavior changes dramatically...speed is uniformly
fine when connected via dial up, but when not connected, accessing local
files thru Navigator can take several
minutes and essentially "freezes" the machine during this time. My
presumption is that the presence of the mail configuration is causing a
DNS lookup which because
I'm not logged in is of course futile.
Has anyone found a workaround for this....an offline mode that could be
set as an opening default would be nice...also, I'm at a loss to figure
out why when opening
the browser, an apparent DNS lookup to the mail address is being
done...hmmm a thought just came to me...perhaps I'll try ging an IP
address the pop/smtp servers
rather that a name....In any event, I'd be interested in any comments...

David,
RH6.0 includes a lockd daemon. If you want to get this without installing RH
6.0, you could a new kernel (use 2.2.5 or better) and make sure that you answer
"yes" to "emulate Sun NFS server."
Good luck!

Make sure you have an up to date (aka. no root exploiut) version,
which means not the version on most CDs (updated RPMs sans root
exploit are on RH's ftp site and most other distributions have updates
around too). Then read up on guest ftp access and you will be in

Renaming the default printer to 'lp' solved the problem. It was "HPLj"
earlier. Though I had an environment variable PRINTER=HPLj set, it gave me
error as "lpr:lp Unknown printer". So renaming to 'lp' bacame obvious.
Actually I had to delete "HPLj" and then create a new "lp".
Thanks.

Subject: Kernel compile & now network down
Date: Thu, 03 Jun 1999 09:35:07 -0400
I currently have an IP masquerade machine running
with two ne2000 compatible cards. I'm running
RedHat 5.2 (2.0.36 kernel) and everything works fine.
What I want to do is use ip port forwarding. So, I got
the latest ip port forwarding patch, applied the patch
to the source code and compiled the code successfully.
When I boot off of the new kernel I get:
"Delaying eth0 initialization"
"Delaying eth1 initialization"
When I boot off the old kernel everything comes up
correctly. All the files that I used with the old
kernel (i.e. conf.modules, etc) never changed so I'm
still loading the ne module using modprobe. During
the kernel compile I made sure to select the PCI ne2000
driver to be built as a module. Do I need to rebuild
all of the modules as well?
I figured since the old kernel works fine that maybe
I need to configure the new kernel for the network cards,
but I'm not sure what I need to do. I tried using kernelcfg
and the network configuration program through X, but no dice.
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm not sure what I am missing.
Thanks,
Scott Morman

Date: Thu, 3 Jun 1999 08:19:01 -0600
Hi. I downloaded SOCKSv5 and compiled it under RedHat 5.2 for Intel
(did the ./config and the make).
Then I moved the following into my /etc directory.
interface 192.168.0. - eth0
interface - - ppp0
permit - - - - - -
That I read was supposed to allow any one of my local machines (on
192.168.0.x)
get out through PPP without extra authentication.
Finally, I launched SOCKS via ./socks5.
I continued to get an error message "bad file descriptor" when a client
machine
connected to the server, and socks quit.
I tried adding "n" to the permit line, replacing eth0 with 192.168.0.1 the
IP of the server,
and changing the host port to 1080 (and reconfiguring the client) with
socks5 -b 1080.
Nothing worked. Same problem.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
