No problems here. I have used mine with RH 5.2 and RH 6.0. used
whatever Driver came with the distribution. BTW what chipset does your
card have the DEC (older card) or the PNIC LNE100TX?

I highly suggest reading Linux administrator's Security Guide found at
https://www.seifried.org/lasg/. I'm a Linux novice and this doc gives
you three ways (tcp_wrappers, ipchains and hosts.allow/deny) to lock out
just about every daemon you can run. All you have to do is choose
your security option and tweak the example. It is a great document.
Lost of usefull info and tools.

Subject: 3Com 3CXEM556 and pppd: working but sloooooow...
Date: 3 Jun 1999 15:14:57 GMT
Hi all,
So I got my 3Com 3CXEM556 working on my SuSE box. Kernel 2.2.5 with
pcmcia-cs-3.0.11 modules. Both my eth0 and ttyS2 come up OK. There
was a few problems with ttyS2 working on te default irq (3) which it
seems it shares with the eth0 interface, so I changed to the irq to 0
(setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 0). That allowed me to use minicom on the
modem, and of course ppp.
So, I can connect no problem. In fact, I'm using it now. BUT - it is
incredibly slow. I am getting about 0.7k/sec throughput. The odd
thing is that I can only ever get a 33.6 connection even though the
# I dial supports x2.
I'm wondering if its because I am using irq 0? I know this causes the
modem to use a slower polled mode instead of interrupts, but, if I
change it to any other irq (even if its not being used byt anything
else) I can't query the modem at all. I even tried having it use the
default irq (3) and then stopping the eth0 interface, but I still
couldn't query the modem. Nada. Help!
Do I need a special init string to send to the modem in order to tell
it to use 56k? And also, are the options I am sending to pppd OK? I
am just dialing a regular Ascend TNT box at the remote end, nothing
fancy.
Can anyone help at all? Here is the pertinent information:

Mark,
Booted in Winblows 98 at the moment, so I can't check this, but you might check
to see if you have an /etc/services file. Most unix's use one to map service
name to port number. A slightly more involved way would be to run netstat -an
and then netstat -a. The first version should show active ports by number, and
the second version should show active ports by name. Correlating the two will
give you a pretty good list.
As for DHCP, it uses two UDP ports (67 and 68). Since DHCP is an enhancement to
BOOTP, you might see listings in /etc/services as "bootps" and "bootpc". Don't
remember exactly which is which, but one port is for client messages to server,
and other is for server messages back to client.
Good luck!

Date: Wed, 02 Jun 1999 15:47:03 -0400
Hey everyone. Sorry to trouble you all with this post, but I am totaly
new to networking. Anyway, here is my question:
I plan on connecting 5 workstations and 1 acting as a 'server' in an
isolated ethernet using coax cable. What do I need to do to set up the
workstations and 'server', and what about the root account? I mean,
will each workstation have a root account, or will the server have the
only root account? In fact, will the workstations hold any account info
at all? (These may be stupid questions to you, but remmbeer, I'm new!)
And finally, how do I set up a DNS on the server so the users don't have
to memorize IP addresses?
If anyone can help, please do! I can be reached by posting to this
newsgroup, email at [EMAIL PROTECTED], and ICQ to UIN 19541653.
I need this info pretty quick, so if you can help, I would REALLY
appreciate it.
Thank you,

It would be helpful to know a little bit more about what you're trying
to do with Samba as there are varying degrees of "successful
configuration."
I have a small network that I consider to be "successfully configured"
using Samba on a RH 5.2 fileserver, however, I am not using print
services or anything else. Each workstation has access to its user's
/home/* directory only. I suspect you want more than that.
Tell us what you want to do and I am SURE there is someone who can and
will help you.

Subject: SuSE Linux 6.1 & PPPIOCGUNIT Permission denied Error?
Date: Mon, 31 May 1999 18:20:24 GMT
Hi Fellow (UK) Linux Users
Has anyone out there in the UK gotten SuSE 6.1 Linux
to connect to the Internet using ordinary DUN?
I recently upgraded my old Slackware machine to
use SuSE 6.1 and cannot get pppd to work.
I can dial into the Demon Internet ROMP line, the modem
dials in fine. I get a good connection the but as soon
as `pppd' starts I get PPPIOCGUNIT Permission denied
errors in the `/var/log/messages' and then the demaon
exits.
I am using ppp 2.3.5 and kernel 2.2.5 as the default
supplied with SuSE Linux 6.1. I verified the permissions
of the `/usr/sbin/pppd'. It is most definitely `suid'
and I checked also that `ppp' support is compiled
in the kernel. I am using root user to do the
connection but still get an error. I checked
that the `/dev/ttyS2' (COM3) is also a root
read/writable, and also symbolically linked `/dev/modem'
to `/dev/ttyS2'. So I figure that it must be something
to do with `pppd' program.
In any case what us a PPPIOCGUNIT anyway?
Does anyone have a good summary or crib sheet
about making an Internet connection with SuSE Linux?
The old demon site Slackware documentation is old
and less useful.

This won't help. She'll still get the bad slab magic errors once the
card comes up.
There is a fix: you need _at least_ Linux kernel >= 2.2.8, or you can
get the patch that fixes the bad slab magic problem. Personally, I'd rather
get a newer kernel than patch, but that's just me. B'sides, there are other
problems with 2.2.5-15 (the kernel that RedHat decided to ship), e.g.
the new kernel NFS server won't talk to non-Linux NFS clients.

Pish-tosh. It's not _that slow_; I ran my ISA Token-Ring card in a machine
as a server for quite sometime. Got around 700-1000KB/s on most ftp transfers
on our local ring.
BTW: There is an alpha-level IBM PCI Token-Ring driver available out there
now. I'm using it on my Linux box in my office with virtually no problems
whatsoever.
See http://www.linuxtr.net/ for drivers, patches, and more info than you
can shake a stick at.

DHCP should request an ip at the half-way point of the lease. Baring
anything unforeseen, it should get the same number everytime. I also
believe that DHCP will not return a number to the pool until twice the
lease period has passed. So, if your lease period is 2 days (which seems
to be the period for the @home cable modems in this area), your machine
will request a lease update every day. It should therefore get the same
number each time. Even if you machine is powered off for 3.999 days
(something less than twice the lease period), you should still receive the
same number. So, machines which are on continuously or are powered up
regularly, the IP number should be quite stable (unless, of course, your
provider makes changes to the dhcp server and forces a new number on you).
Hope this helps........................Ian
