Could anyone tell me if a NT box with a DHCP range be able to assign an
ip address to a lonely linux box...
If not, what should I do? A static address is not an option. Why do I
have the feeling SAMBA is going to come up in the reply...

If those cards are PnP cards you're gonna have to use a setup prog and
turn the PnP off before Linux will see it.

Subject: How I got my 3Com card to work FYI
Date: Wed, 09 Jun 1999 13:14:04 GMT
Judging by the number of threads in here related to problems with
getting Linux to properly use a 3Com 509/509B card, I thought some
people might be able to benefit from the method I used to get it to
work on my machine (P 100 MHz, 32 MB RAM, RH 5.1, Win 95 OSR2).
Supposedly there is a DOS utility for disabling PnP (Plug 'N Pray) for
this NIC, but as I got mine through a reseller who installed it for
me, I can't speak on that with much authority. From what I've read in
here, the main problem with the 509 is getting the IRQ, etc,
configured correctly due to problems with PnP, Windoze, etc.
BTW, I had already set the driver and all the other info for the card
during the RH setup (Netmask, IP address, etc), so I'm going to cover
from that point onward.
The main problem: Linux was finding the card fine, and I wasn't
getting any "Network unreachable" errors on startup, but it said on
bootup that the card's IRQ (Interrupt Request) was 10, while Windows
said it was 9 (although it had recently switched to saying it was 11
for some reason...). I know people in here have recommended getting
the DOS app from the 3com website that lets you disable PnP and set
the IRQ/DMA/I/O values, but when I tried it I got an error message
saying my board was neither a TP or TPO.
So here's how I finally got it to work: On startup, I hit the Del key
to enter into my BIOS setup. I'm not sure how the bios configuration
screens on other computers are setup, but there should be an option to
change IRQ settings, which takes you to a screen looking something
like:
Plug-And-Play OS Installed: Yes
01 ISA Legacy Device
02 PnP Device
Etc...
First of all, if it says that there is a Plug and Play OS installed,
change that option to "No." Secondly, scroll down with the arrow keys
to the IRQ of your ethernet card (you can find the IRQ from Windows in
Control Panel> System> Device Manger> Network Adapters> Name of your
card>. Select it and click properties, then click on the "resources"
tab, the IRQ should be listed there), and if it's set as PnP, change
it to ISA Legacy (on mine, that's done by selecting it and hitting the
Pg Up/Pg Dn keys).
Select exit and save changes, then boot into Windows normally. I had
made a note of the IRQ that Linux wanted to use with my card. In
Windows, I went back into the Resources tab of the card's properties,
un-selected "Use Automatic Settings," selected the Interrupt Request,
clicked on the Change Setting button, then typed in the IRQ that Linux
had been trying to use (in my case, 10). Clicked "Ok," restarted into
Linux, tried a "ping www.netscape.com" to make sure it was working,
and voila, finally had the damn thing working.
Hope this helps.

David,
At the office I use the restricted parameter with the password parameter
in /etc/lilo.conf. Read the man page on lilo.conf and the lilo readme file
in /usr/doc/lilo*. After you've edited /etc/lilo.conf then set ownership to
root and set permissions to 600. This effectively prevents users who do not
have access to root from reading the file. And if you want to be really
careful then disable the boot ability from the floppy drive - this could cause
more problems than it is worth however.
There is also a Linux Security HOWTO that has been put out recently. It is new
and still needs some work but I found it very usefull.

Yes, it can. Just run "dhclient" and it'll do all the work.
I've got this far, but I can't get the NT network to see my machine by name.
I can ping my linux box by IP, and I can ping other machines on our network
from the linux by name or IP. The Linux box just won't go into the "Network
Neighborhood" for me, though. :(

I was wondering if it is possible to share my system across the
Internet ? What would be nice is if someone could just add me to their
Network Neighborhood and treat me like a regular drive. With cable
modem or ADSL, I don't think speed would be critical, and would VPN
cover my security concerns ? Does NFS fill this need ??

Don't think Make is available anywhere, but the make (lower case)
command is virtualy always included with any distribution.
In redhat system you'll get the make command if you install the make

Hi,
Is there a way to accept incoming SMTP mail for any user? So instead
of the SMTP server saying 'Unknown user' when somebody put a lowercase
instead
of uppercase, some script or program can then put it in a general
delivery
mailbox or in the right user mailbox.
How about accepting mail for any user of a virtual domain?
Of course, this is for Linux 2.0.36

That is surely true, but the core machines of my network will be in the
300-350 mhz with a 100mhz bus, so hopefully the 100Mb (roughly speaking)
NIC will be the bottleneck in those systems (I'm still building them). I
don't know if you can mix machines communicating at 10 & 100 to the same
hub/switch. (that's one of the many things I hope to learn through all
of this). But at the worst the 486s will have to be a seprate network,
after I get it working then I get to figure out how to connect the 2
(100 and 10) networks together.
Once I'm done with my networking experiments, I will have a really
powerfull distributed workstation, with certain aps being run via X to a
"main" workstation that I will run my desktop and small apps, with lots
of NFS mounted directories from the non-486 machines, so I will be a
bandwith hog inside my own little network. Can I help it if I like to
burn CDs, listen to mp3s, encode mp3s, compile kernels, scan pictures,
download the latest and greatest from debian.org, and play quake all at
once...

I use Squid 2.2 STABLE3 (not on the Squid homepage) on Redhat 6.0.

User 'root' is barred by default from login in anywhere except the local

On the Windoze machines, right-click Network Neighboorhood and select
Properties. Choose 'Windows Logon' for Primary Network Connection. Double
click the 'Client for Microsoft Networks' component and make sure you have not
set it to log onto a NT domain. (I assume you don't want to do this.)
Click the Identification tab at the top and make sure that your workgroup name
is the same for all 3 machines.
You might also want to set up samba on the server to be the master browser.
Hope this helps,

I have an NEC Ready system with a built-in graphics card (boo), but I had the
same error you're getting.
Two things to check:
1) make sure you have an .xinitrc file in your home directory that specifies the
window manager you're using
2) you may need to doctor up /etc/X11/X86Config a bit (if that's not the right
file, sorry - it's been a while - just search the /etc path for Config: find
/etc -name "*Config*" -print)
For my system I had to add "Option sw_cursor" in the X86Config file under the
entry for my graphics card. This is the sole thing that did the trick. Don't ask
me why, but the dude who forwarded me this info was right on.
Again, sorry for leaving out the detailed details, but my linux box is at home
and I use Solaris here at work. If I uncover any more useful info later, I'll
forward it on.
Hope this helps -

You can download the config program from 3Com's web site. It's better to
disable PnP anyway. There's also a configuration utility that runs under

I've set up a server using RH 6.0 and, for the most part, it appears to be
working fine. Sometimes, though, it becomes inaccessible. Can't telnet in,
and it doesn't respond to pings. After a reboot it comes back to life. More
curiously, it sometimes comes back to life without being rebooted, only to
go back to its frozen mode later.
If it matters, the hardware is an HP Pavilion 4445. After the problems
started, I checked the CMOS settings and found a parameter for operating
system, which was set for Windows 98. I changed it to Other.

Does anyone know if this still applies to 6.0?
Thanks,

man lilo.conf explains how to password protect the Linux single option.
Also, most modern day BIOS's offer the ability to prevent booting from a
floppy. I'm assuming, of course, that this is in a lab where a student
won't be able to take the case off and kill the BIOS without being noticed
or recorded on film :)

I am setting up a Red Hat 6.0 to run as a POP3 mail server. Everything
works fine, I can telnet into port 110 and I get the welcome message.
But, when I try and connect from a netscape messenger on a Win98
workstation I get an error saying that the password is incorrect. I
know it isn't because I can log on directly to the box with the login
and password. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Windows 98 and Windows NT both use encrypted passwords that Samba does
NOT recognize by default. You have to do one of the following:
First (and easiest), edit your Win98 registry by adding the following:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSUP
Add the DWORD value: EnablePlainTextPassword
Then chance the value from 0x00000000 to 0x00000001
Your second option is to enable Samba to recognize Encrypted passwords.
To do that I suggest you go buy either the Samba book by John D. Blair
or the new SAMS Teach Yourself SAMBA in 24 hours. I would go into
it..but it's rather long and complex. Best if you have a book to step
you through it.
