There are some minor advantages to leaving a system on constantly, if you
can afford the power bill and if you have it on a UPS (and are running an
OS that can run reliably for more than a week at a time :).
Leaving a system on stabilizes the environment it operates in - you avoid
temperature changes and the voltage spikes associated with powering the
equipment on and off. For example, if you're turning a system on and off
every day the thermal changes can (slowly, granted) work socketed chips
loose.
In addition, leaving in on 24x7 lets you schedule maintenance activities to
automatically occur at night. For example, the stock cron scripts provided
by Redhat automatically update the man page indexes (for "apropos") early
in the morning. If you turn your system off at night you'd have to do that
manually. I'm sure you can think of other useful things you'd like the
system to do for you while you're at home sleeping...

Subject: Slow network, RH6.0 Sendmail
Date: Wed, 9 Jun 1999 11:52:40 -0000
I recently setup a RH 6.0 linux box on a Pentium 233mmx w/128mb ram and a
Kingston 10/100 network card. The system is running great except for one
problem. I setup Sendmail and used the IMAP RPM on the cd to get IMAP and
POP3 connectivity. Everything was working great for about a day. Now, when
trying to connect to the server using POP3, IMAP, SMTP, or even Telnet
connections it takes about 30 seconds to gain a connection. Once the
connection is made everything works great. It is just the time to connect
that is annoying. I even found that running pine on the system was slow in
sending mail. When you send a message you wait for 10 - 15 seconds for the
message to send even though it is only one line of text. Any ideas???

I hate to sound cynical but scrap this card if you can. I have one
(3c905B) in my workstation at work and it is a flaky piece of crap.
Sometimes it comes up at 10 Mbps; sometimes 100 Mbps. Sometimes it just
dies on me and I have to power down to get it to reset.
Get an Intel Ether Express if you need 100 Mbps or a basic PCI ne2000 if
you don't. The old 3COM 3c509 cards worked well too.
If you have to use it here is my conf.module entry:
alias eth0 3c59x
options 3c59x options=5
The discerning reader will notice I am telling the card it is 100 base FX.
That is the only setting I could get to work at all.

You cannot ! Nslookup is for use with a DNS ONLY !
So you have to configure the DNS server (named), configure the resolver
(bind) and start them !
How to do it ? It's not esay, but not hard. But named will use some CPU

Subject: Re: IP Masquerading and NT's Default Gateway Problem
Date: Wed, 09 Jun 1999 03:54:40 GMT
I have the same setup at my office. My Cisco router is listed as the default
gateway in our DHCP scope. The Cisco router also connects our 6 remote
offices LAN's over Frame Relay. I also setup a Linux box running IP Masq to
give our office local internet access.
In order to fix the problem you described (i had the same problem
inititally), I had to set the Cisco's default route to point to the Linux
Box's internal interface. By doing so, we were able to still access our
remote offices LAN's along with internet access through the Linux box
(locally). Basically, you are adding one hop to access the internet. On a
10mb network it is really not a big deal. The only other option I can think
of is to set a static route on the Linux box that points towards your remote
network through the Cisco router. Either way, you still add one hop.

A common thing in the industry is blame the thing you know the least
about. :-) However, you can help them. First, is to defend the stack.
Many people can help by stating that Linux has a robust stack that is as
good or better than NT. <Myself included, I do this for a living>
Second is to solve there flooding issue. If they are having this
problem, they need a sniffer. Sniffers are expensive. But there is a GPL
clone of one for Linux! :-) http://ethereal.zing.org/ It is betaish, but
stable enough for most troubleshooting on IP networks.

My diald daemon keeps dying (disappearing anyway). I'm not sure why.
Anyone have any idea why? Here is my set-up.
SuSE 6.1
Kernel 2.2.7 (SuSE) with kernmod update
ppp version 2.3.5-36
diald version 0.16-49
I am using my Linux server as a SAMBA domain server for my home network,
it serves logins, files, printer, NFS and internet access. I use
masquerading and diald to provide transparent Internet access to the
network clients. However, I often find the diald daemon often just
quits. I have no idea why.

Date: Wed, 09 Jun 1999 03:07:09 GMT
On 9 Jun 1999 00:59:54 GMT in comp.os.linux.networking, "Ross
Vandegrift" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> uttered the following profound gem
of wisdom:
I agree, under Windows I've had no problems with my 509b (Etherlink
III ISA -TPO in PnP mode, according to windows). However, I've had
trouble getting it to work at all in Linux. I'm running RedHat Linux
5.1 and I installed/setup networking during the installation (told it
to use the 3c509 driver), then copied in the name server, IP address,
netmask, etc, from my settings in Windows.
I don't get any error messages when booting, but I can't reach any
websites via Netscape, nor can I successfully ping any. It does say
that the IRQ is 10 while Windows tells me that it's 09 however. I
tried getting the "tpfix" utility from 3Com's website (I assume that's
what people in here are referring to when they refer to using the 3Com
DOS utility to manually set the IRQ). I followed the instructions I've
seen posted here; namely edit my bios so that IRQ 9 is ISA Legacy
instead of PnP, boot into DOS, then run the utility to manually set
the IRQ address. Went fine up until the last step, when I ran
tpfix.exe, I get the message "Error: Board is not TP or TPO, TPFix
terminated".
I also had a long-time Unix-user I know take a look at it, before I
did the above unfortunately. He tried to set the IRQ using an argument
with the "ifconfig" command, but it wouldn't take it.
I'm not sure if this is relevant or not, but I thought I'd include it
in case it was. In the book my RedHat 5.1 cd came with (Linux
Unleashed) it says that in order to manually configure TCP/IP, you
need to edit the rc.inet1 and rc.inet2 (or rc.inet or rc.net) files in
the /etc/rc.d directory. However, when I checked none of those files
appeared to be in said directory, but the settings must have been
saved somewhere because the Network configuration portion of RH 5.1's
default X-Manager showed all the settings that I had entered during
setup (unfortunately I can't get to that anymore as I switch to KDE).
Could this make any difference? Would it be advisable to try and
create those files from scratch?
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated, as it stands the internet
connectivity issue is the only thing currently standing between me and
using Linux as my day-to-day operating system. Thanks.

As far as I know, the Linux box that our factory uses for SMTP, POP3 and
web proxy (squid) has been faultless. Their NT/Netware has given them
frequent problems, but fortunately we do not use that at our office. We
are supposed to be using the Netware box for DHCP, but after that failed a
couple of times, I hardcoded the IP's on our subnet so we can connect to
the Linux mail server and our mainframe even when the factory's NT/Netware
system is totally haywire and their PC's can't even get on the network.

I think you are having a permission problem. I have MS Proxy running @
home on
WinNT, but I haven't tried connecting throught the Proxy w/ RedHat. I
will have
to try and get back to you. The last error is because it couldn't find
a DNS
server. It's normal if you don't have a direct inet connection and you
try to
connect directly anyway.
To solve the first error, try this. On your WinNT machine, go to start
-> Programs -> Microsoft Internet Information Server -> Internet Service
Manager.
When this program comes up, it should list all of the
web/proxy/ftp/gopher services running on your computer. Double click on
the one that says WebProxy. Click the tab labled "permissions". There
is a little check box that says "enable access control." If it is not
check, check it. There should be a little selection box with "FTP
Access" in it. Make sure that "everyone" is listed as having this
access. Do this for every item in the selection box. If that doesn't
work, make sure the access control box is unchecked and try again.

Subject: How will I get Linux to recognize 2 Ethernet cards of the same make?
Date: Wed, 09 Jun 1999 04:13:46 GMT
My SysAdmin put me up to asking this question, so if it seems a bit
siplistic, please realize that I am a novice, so here goes.
We have two D-Link Ethernet cards that we'll need to use our Linux-box
as a proxy server and a site-hosting machine using DSL. We expect that
Linux will have a problem recognizing the fact that 2 ethernet cards
are there, because they are of EXACTLY the same make.
Thank you for your help! And thank you for answering in advance about
the problem of drivers for that particular ethernet card. You guys
have been great!-de Sade
