Just a long shot but are you supposed to use a different number for pap
service? The "Receive serial link is not 8-bit clean:" can be caused by
trying to use pap on a connection that is expecting a username - password
combionation. The "LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests: is also typical
of this.

I'm using one of my Linux boxes to successfully connect 2 other computers to
the net, but when they try to download larger files (>100k or so) or receive
larger emails, they can't seem to handle it. For instance, when I'm
downloading email on one of the other machines, when it comes to an email
with a large attachment, it proceeds so far in the download and then seems
content to wait forever at a certain point. Is anyone else aware of this
and knows what I'm doing wrong?
When I swap machines with my modem and connect the other machine directly to
the net, the downloads are back to normal.

Hello!
Try running this command:

Also you can add it to your startup rc. files.
Good luck!

Subject: Re: DNS setup for NT/Wins and Unix mixed network
Date: Sun, 06 Jun 1999 22:16:22 -0700
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I've had the same problem in our environment. We've running DNS on NT4SP3 with
mostly AIX systems. What I saw was AIX name resolution, when setup to resolve
directly to NT, was sometimes quite slow. In particular, the CDE login was
extremely slow. Same as you we should have fixed NT DNS but could never find
anything particularly wrong. So, the "fix" was to setup a cache only server on
AIX and point all AIX systems to that box as their primary DNS. This has worked
quite well.
Everything was running quite well that way until we upgraded to NTSP4 - now we
have some of the same performance issues. Still figuring out SP4-related
issues.
As for NT systems resolutions, again, we're in the same boat. We use NT DHCP
which feeds WINS which is linked to NT DNS. So, it seems that the only way to
resolve NT (DHCP-managed) machine names is to query the NT DNS. This eliminates
the option of setting up a secondary DNS on Unix since the NT DNS-WINS link will
cause a failure in the zone transfer to a non-NT secondary (at least it did to
us).
Hope that helps.

Subject: Linux 2.0.33 and D-Link DSH-5 Hub/Switch
Date: Mon, 07 Jun 1999 05:31:49 GMT
I recently bought a D-Link DSH-5 10/100M Hub/Switch. Normally,
connecting up these devices should be a snap, but I am having a slight
problem that maybe someone can assist me with.
I have a three system home network consisting of two Windoze boxes (1
95 and 1 98) and 1 Linux box (Kernel Version 2.0.33). With each of
these boxes I have a Linksys 10M ethernet card. I have each system
connected to the Hub via a CAT 5 cable. If any more information is
needed, please let me know.
The problem that I am having is that both Windoze boxes communicate
through the Hub, but the Linux box doesn't. The strange thing is that
I see the 10M link LED on the Linux box port, but I get no activity
indication from the Linksys card or the Hub. What the hell?
I am a total beginner when it comes to networking and it was my
impression that connecting up a hub should be a no brainer. Well,
having no brain doesn't seem to solve my problem.
Can anyone with more experience assist? Any help would be appreciated.

Bet you are running a windows laptop. There is a "feature" in the Win DHCP
client that requires the server be able to send a reply to
255.255.255.255. Don't ask me why becasue I have never understood it.
In /etc/sysconfig/static-routes add the follwoing:
any net 255.255.255.255 netmask 255.255.255.255 gw eth1
Then restart your networking "/etc/rc.d/init.d/net restart"

Subject: 3c900 & 3c905B problems -- please help!
Date: Mon, 07 Jun 1999 05:33:19 GMT
I have two 3com cards in my RH 6.0 box. The first is the 3c905B, at IRQ
10. The second is the 3c900 at IRQ 9. In my /etc/conf.modules file I
have the following three lines:
alias eth0 3c59x
alias eth1 3c59x
options 3c59x options=8,0 full_duplex=1,1
The above options set the 905B to 100 Mbps and the 900 to its default of
10Mbps. I am then forcing full-duplex operation on both cards. (BTW,
taking out the "options 3c..." had no effect). I made sure I downloaded
the latest driver for both these cards from the cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov
site, 3c59x.c, and recompiled it. When I boot the system, it
initializes the first card just fine. The second card, the 3c900, fails
at boot up. I have tested this system with each card installed
separately and each works correctly so I believe both cards are
functional. After bootup, I do a dmesg to see what was going on. dmesg
correctly identifies both cards with correct IRQs, etc. but at the end
of the second identification I get the following error message:
eth1: Tx Ring full, refusing to send buffer
Being a Linux newbie, I am about as confused as a one-eyed cat watching
two mouse holes. Could anyone out here shed any light on this problem?
If you need any more information, I'll get it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, i have only just upgraded our RedHat 5.2 server to 6.0
the /etc/securetty file contained console ttys and ttyp0-5 so that we could
do a remote root login, but now it doesn't work
the reason is that when you do a telnet login to redhat 6, it gives you the
tty /dev/pts/0 (like solaris)
when i put pts/0 pts/1,etc into /etc/securetty it doesn't do anything (that
i can see anyway)
what do i need to do so that i can do a remote root login???

I am also a student, and my sys admin is letting me get a Linux comp. in the
school for web and POP3 mail, but anyway, on to your little problem.
DHCP shouldn't be too hard to configure. When you set up Redhat 6, make sure
you set up the network card to use to send a DHCP request instead of a static IP
address (the install prog. should prompt you), so that should be realitively
easy.
Logging onto WinNT servers can be done with Samba. When you install RH6, make
sure you include a package called "Samba Connectivity." This package gives you
tools like smbmount (mounts a folder to a NT or Win9x share) which can be used
to logon, read, and write to directories on Wintel servers.
Lastly, network printers can be done two possible ways. If your printers are
setup on individual print servers, they should be assigned an IP address, AND a
Wintel share name. Thus you can use Samba or TCP/IP printing to print to
network servers.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Seems like you would officially register both addresses for your DNS servers so
the the "world" knows both addresses. This provides fail-over for your DNS
servers. Then, in your DNS config you define your MX records to reflect a
primary and secondary mail server.
This assumes you have two IP addresses you can use. If you want to failover to
the same address like you describe then maybe you can write a script so the
backup machine pings the primary and if it detects a failure then assumes the IP
address using an IP alias command.
Hope that helps...

Goddamn it, but Samba and NT are a ROYAL pain in the ass to get
working together!
What particularly irks me is that I >>had<< them working together...
but then I re-installed Linux (Caldera 2.2). I figured this wouldn't
be a problem since I "knew" how to get them to work together, right?
Wrong! I don't understand this stuff as well as I thought I did...
Here's the problem: I can see my Linux box in NT's Network
Neighborhood, but when I double-click on it, I am asked to supply a
username and password.
I didn't used to have to do this, when things were working before,
because I've set up the Linux and NT usernames and passwords to be the
same.
Ah ha, recalled I, I forgot to turn encrypted passwords on (this bit
me in the butt last time)! So I set up encrypted passwords, built
smbpasswd, and... nada. Zilch. Same goddamn dialog box asking me for a
username and password. And rejecting every username and password I can
think to put into it!
Can someone please help me figure out this garbage once and for
all???? I promise to make zillions of backup copies of smb.conf, once
I get it working, so that future upgrades won't cause the same problem
<grin>. Seriously, any and all help would be appreciated.
BTW, I've read the man page, the HOWTO, several chapters on Samba in
various books, ENCRYPTION.txt, etc.

Please, also post me an email because I can' connect very often. (In
Italy Telecom is very expensive!)

This is either a problem with your cable or with your NIC in the Linux
box. The ethernet hub will not cause this problem. I suggest that you
try switching around cables first, and if that doesn't work, switch the
Network cards around and test. I think you will find the prob in one of
those two areas.

I was using the system with the coax cabling and it worked. I did
switch around the cables with no effect, but I did not switch the
cards themselves.
Now, if the card worked with the coax, but not the CAT 5 cable, could
this still be a problem?

Hello!
The default gateway for your second network will be router's 198.168.1.1
interface.
Also make sure that default gateway for the router is your Linux box.
And your masq statement is correct.
Good luck!
