plus, what is this 'dns-error'?
what did you put in computer name ,
(did you put anything there yourself, or did you have it defaulted by
win95-installation?)
and in domain name , for A,B, and the smb-server?
my guess: there is something to this 'dns-error' - maybe your machines
are not in the same workgroup, or have the same netbios-name,something
like that ( just guessing ).

i've checked linuxdrivers.net - it sends me to linuxberg, where there
are NO drivers to be found...
i've searched everywhere else i can think of...
where's the best repository for linux drivers?
(i need ati1500 nic drivers) - the howto specifically says, that linux
IS compatible with my card, I just can't find any way to get the 2 to
talk! - (tried the 1700 drivers which come with my mandrake 6 dist -
no good)

Subject: wu-ftp setup problem
Date: Wed, 09 Jun 1999 06:07:32 GMT
Hi,
Please excuse my stupidity. I�m using RedHat 5.2, I tried to compile
the wu-ftp-2.5 version but it doesn�t seems to work because it couldn�t
find all the standard header file like (string.h��). Please excuse my
rusty C language. I wouldn�t fix it because I forgot which environment
variable I should use to solve this problem, so I download the rpm
package which is wu-ftp-2.4.2b18-2.1.rpm.
I followed the instruction from Resource Center for creating a test
account. I have the problem as below:
Account name: testftp
Home directory: /home/ftp/testftp
Chroot: /home/ftp
I can log on to the /testftp directory and I can cd to / and go back to
/testftp directory but ls command doesn�t display any files and
directories.
The ftp daemon doesn�t take effect on the passwd file that I setup on
/home/ftp/etc/passwd because I tried to comment out the testftp account
from passwd and it still allow me to log on.
Thanks in Advance. If possible please direct me to any other URL which
have more details explain wu-ftp.

The functionality is basically out-of-the-box. It is surprisingly
straightforward to set up connectivity between two computers. Setting up
your own network (if you're given a subnet etc) with a gateway, mail etc is
a little more involved but the basic building blocks are
similar: centralized file storage, NIS if necessary, mail routing.
The O'Reilly book TCP/IP Network Management is excellent.

Yack not another proprietary MS thing.
I'm not sure what NM's capabilities are, but since it is a client, it
might be able to do SOCKS and I think NEC has a SOCKS daemon that
works under Linux. I havent used this method myself, but the theory
sound plausible. Nevermind on that socks theory. I just took a quick
peep at the help file in netmeeting after going through some stoopid
information collecting wizzerd, and I couldnt find the word firewall
or sock in the 'find or index' section.
Here is a link though to someone that seems to know what the fuss is
about. Hope it helps.

Date: Wed, 09 Jun 1999 09:19:51 +0200
Hi,
I have recently became a Linux users. I bought a SuSE Linux 6.1
distribution and
I am very happy with it. Everything seems to work quite well and I am
about to
completely remove all traces of Windows NT from my machine.
I am connected to the network through a DHCP server (don't ask me what
kind or brand it is I am working at a BIG company). Everythings seems to
work very smootly at first but after a while when my DHCP client wants
to renew its IP address an error messages sometimes appears saying:
'DHCPACK in wrong transaction'
I get the back the same IP address but after this message I cannot
ping my computer from the outside anymore (raw IP address works fine
though). Everything with the network seems to work fine on my Linux
computer dispite this error message. But it is a bit disturbing.
Something is abviously not like it should. Anyone knows what the
source of the problem could be?

Date: Wed, 09 Jun 1999 09:13:07 +0200
Hi,
We are having a networking problem at our company (that is all Linux
users).
It seems like something has changed in the networking support (TCP/IP)
in the newest kernels, 2.2.x, because we cannot get through our companys
proxy server anymore. All users still using the 'old' 2.0.x kernels does
not have this problem. Anyone experienced the same problem?
Inside our own network (intranet) everything works fine with the
2.2.x kernels (rlogin, telnet, e-mail, netscape, arena, ftp, etc.).
But not to the 'outside'.

Subject: strange NFS messages
Date: 9 Jun 1999 06:01:40 GMT
Hi all,
I have two PCs running RH 6.0 with standard (in 6.0) kernel-level NFS,
automount, kernel 2.2.5 (one SMP, one non-SMP), connected with
fastethernet in small network with 2 Suns. On both PCs, I keep getting
strange messages like:
__nfs_fhget: inode 25331 busy, i_count=2, i_nlink=1
nfs_free_dentries: found data/m36062.lock, d_count=0, hashed=1
nfs_dentry_delete: data/m36062.lock: ino=25331, count=2, nlink=1
other than that, everything is working fine, including the programs
which deal with files mentioned in these messages. On the other hand, I
was unable to reproduce such a message doing "by hand" what my
application does with those files. So I wonder, is it something to worry
about, or not?
any hints would be appreciated, regards, Michal.

Hello !
Although I answer to myself (but I said I would post the answer for my
trouble), I ask by the same occasion another question.
I essentially ansd practically resolved my laptop PCMCIA NIC installation
trouble : I added "pre-install pcnet_cs /etc/rc.d/init.d/network start"
and "alias eth0 pcnet_cs" in /etc/conf.modules. So all initialisations and
network services are correctly launched and all works fine.
Saddly, there remain an ugly "cardmgr" initialisation message on many
lines and the standard [ OK ] message for proper eth0 launch doesn't
appear. How to fix that (status returned = 1 for card manager).
Bye !

Quite simple: the NFS server in linux is broken. You can find some patches
at http://www.fys.uio.no/~trondmy/src/ that reduce the problems, but does
not fix all problems.

Subject: newbie: Best way of setting up ip-numbers?
Date: Wed, 9 Jun 1999 10:05:43 +0200
Hi there,
I wanna install Linux on my system, but I'm not sure what ip-addresses I
should use for various tasks on my system.
In the end I'd like to run the following services (all on the SAME pc):
- FTP
- Telnet
- HTTP access (via other W95 machine)
- dhcpd (so I won't have to setup W95 with an ip-address
- DNS
First: CAN it be done?
Second: can ftp, telnet and http all be running via the same ip-addres?
(is it possible to give ftp telnet separate ip-addresses?)
-> I've set it up, but either http works, OR telnet and ftp work. Never all
3 together(?)
Furthermore, When installing dns and dhcpd I've read somewhere that a
'gateway' must be configured. Is this just my main ip-address?
AND (last one, here) there also needs to be configured a router (routed).
Does this also have a ip-address of its own?
Questions, questions... but very imortant to me.
I hope you find this mail intriguing enough to respond to. You're doing me a
great favour.
Kind regards,

Should not be too hard but since I am lazy I wanna now if there already

Of course! Consult the various HOWTOs. If you want to connect local
clients to your linux server which should be able to access the internet
via your linux server, read the IP-masquerading howto. If you will use a
small number of clients, I don't recommend dhcp because it makes some
administrative tasks harder, for example controlling access to services.
just use reserved IP-adresses like 192.168.x.x. for all machines on your
LAN and keep a record of the used ip-addresses. Consult the net-3-howto
for ip-adresses that are reserved for private use.

I guess you try to use telnet and ftp to a linux server as root. Telnet
and ftp are disabled for root access by default.
If you set things up correctly, all 3 together should work. Consult the
various HOWTOs, starting with the NET-3-HOWTO

Note that an ip-address is bound to an interface, not to a machine. If
you connect clients to your linux server via it's ethernet card,
the ip-adress of the linux ethernet card (normally eth0 interface)
should be mentioned as gateway-ip-address in every client's setup. A
router is not needed.
> Questions, questions... but very imortant to me.
A tip: linux is a very wonderful OS, but you have to read documentation
to get a grip on it and make it work the way you want it. You are
wondering if things are possible. With Linux virtually ANYTHING is
possible.
