Subject: network (SMB) printer and binfmt!!
Date: Fri, 11 Jun 1999 04:52:27 GMT
hi,
i got a strange problem. i used SWAT (with SAMBA2.0.4b) to configure the
samba on my machine a RedHat5.2 (kernel 2.0.36) on intel Celeron 200.
after that i used "printtool" to setup the SMB network printer. This
things works fins at my home, i.e. a Panasonic KX-P-1150(text 9pin DMP)
on a Win95 machine, and Linux RH5.2 on another with Samba. But in
office like i just said, when i try to print to a configured HP-6P on a
Win95 machine, i get the following error message :
modprobe : Can't locate module binfmt-2592.
i am including my /etc/printcap file, and few binfmt related lines
returned by "modprobe -c"

Subject: ADSL not talking to my box..
Date: Sat, 12 Jun 1999 01:27:01 -0500
I decided to go ADSL on my phone service to get a faster Internet access. My ISP gave
me a Cicso
675 router programmed as a DHCP Server. It is connected to the phone jack on the wall
and to the
Fast EtherLink XL 10/100B TX NIC in my box. The DNS search is navix.net, and two
nameservers:
207.91.5.20 and 207.91.5.252. My box is JLkreps.At.Home with an IP of 127.0.0.2 and I
am running
SuSE 6.1 with the kernel upgraded to 2.2.7.
SuSE supplies a configuration program called YaST, which is has menu options to set up
the Name
Server, HostName, Base Configuration and DHCP CLient. When the box is booted the
DHCP Client
gets an IP address, always 192.168.1.4, from the Cisco DCHP Server and sets up a
routing table.
The only problem is the routing table is not any good, I can't see the internet. My
next thing is
to download the lastest version of DCHPCP and compile it into my system. I've spent
thirty hours
playing with ifconfig, route, netstat and the like, trying to create something that
would let
Netscape walk the web via my ADSL.
The SuSE YaST program leaves the TCP/IP config files in the following condition...
This info represents all that YaST leaves me with. I can always ping the NIC. The
bad news is
that navix.net and it's numbers are always left out of the mix. The DHCP Client
ALWAYS pulls the
192.168.1.4 number and gives it to the NIC. I don't know why SuSE leaves navix.net
out of the
picture when I gave it the name server info during the YaST setup.
The /etc/resolv.conf file has:
search navix.net
nameserver 207.91.5.20
nameserver 207.91.5.252
The /etc/networks file has:
# /etc/networks
# This file describes a number of netname-to-address
# mappings for the TCP/IP subsystem. It is mostly
# used at boot time, when no name servers are running.
#
loopback 127.0.0.0
JLKreps 127.0.0.2
# End.
And the /etc/hosts file has
127.0.0.1 localhosts loopback
127.0.0.2 JLKreps
/etc/route.conf is empty.

I am assuming that the system is running IPX, so you need to verify that
IPX support is active on your linux box. Do all the following as root.
bash> ifconfig
and see if you get something like this.
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:60:08:D3:1C:D3
inet addr:192.168.1.2 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
IPX/Ethernet 802.2 addr:0000C000:006008D31CD3
IPX/Ethernet 802.3 addr:0000C001:006008D31CD3
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:18276 errors:2 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:2
TX packets:1089 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:34 txqueuelen:100
Interrupt:3 Base address:0x100
the important lines are the IPX/Ethernet ones (obviously.)
If they are not there, then you need to read the IPX howto and get it up
and running.
for a quick idea
bash> ipx_configure --auto_primary=on --auto_interface=on
and then ifconfig again and look for the lines as above.
(if not, howto town.)
When ipx all up and ok. then the following will mount the netware drive
bash> ncpumount -S /SERVER_NAME -U USER_NAME /mountpoint
you will be prompted for any needed password, and after that, the netware
server should be mounted at /mountpoint.
good luck, and please check out the howtos there's a lot I have left out
for brevity.

can you ping the ip adddress (192.168.1.whatever) from each machine?
can you then _not_ ping the machine by hostname? if so, then the problem is
something to do with the hostname resolution. Verify that each machine has
an entry for itself and the other machine in the /etc/hosts file, and that
your /etc/host.conf file looks something like
order hosts bind
multi on
hope this helps.

But just after this choise an error come: "Error Netware Client v3.0 for
DOS".
I don't know why???
Finally i try to install the driver with EZWORKS. I find this software
in DEC web page. But when i run the setup, an error come: "Error adapter

When I had problems with mine I had to set the path = /var/spool/samba and
that seemed to fix it. But the shared folders I had setup worked also.
Check the folder shares make sure they work under 95/98

Date: Fri, 11 Jun 1999 06:25:44 GMT
Hi All:
I am dying for high speed access to the Internet.
When I built my house last year, I but in a 100base-T network that has
four boxes, three win98 and one RedHat 5.2. My linux box is providing
dialup PPP to the Internet using pppd, diald and dialmon. The win98
clients share the dialup Internet connection.
I tried signing up for DSL, but the DLC equipment that GTE has
installed in my area is not DSL compatible.
At this point, I am considering Hughes DirecPC and I am wondering if
anyone has every tried to get this working with linux. Any pointers
would be helpful.
Thanks in advance.

SOunds like your lease expires frequently. Can you change your lease
setting, or have your ISP increase it?

Hi
Did you recompile your kernel anytime ? There's a switch: enable WIN95
bug-workaround anywhere in the ?filesystem -settings? in xconfig for
kernel-compilation. This switch has to be turned *off*.
Maybe it's only a part of the solution, but it's worth checking!

Subject: not replacing existing default route to eth0
Date: Thu, 10 Jun 1999 23:53:52 -0700
I am trying to set up my Linux box as a gateway for my home LAN to the
net - I have been assigned a static IP from my ISP.
My box connects to my ISP correctly, but default route is not set - in
/var/log/messages I get:
not replacing existing default route to eth0
I suspect I have to muck with the routing table. Is this correct? Can
anyone tell me how to do so?

I hope this question is not too silly.
Why is it that in /etc/passwd/ the Anonymous ftp user is called "ftp,"
but users can login as "Anonymous?"
I.e. in my /etc/passwd/ I have
ftp:*:14:50:FTP User:/usr/ftp:
This, as far as I know, is what allows guest logins, and the login name
that a user is expected to use is "ftp."
What relation does the word "Anonymous" have with "ftp," such that a
user can use the login name "Anonymous" instead of "ftp" to login as a
guest?
Thank you.
