PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!
well here was the problem. i got sick of x so i decided to upgrade it...thats how i
figured this out....after i upgraded netscape still had black buttons so the
upgrade didn't change anything....anyways, there was a problem with my video card
due to the new version of x i was running so i went in with XF86Setup and changed
my card or whatever....anyways, i restarted and netscape was still messed up...i
went back into XF86Setup and i noticed something....in there, it was configured to
start up with 24bpp although my startx script had the --bpp 16 option on....so i
changed the bpp in XF86Setup to 16bpp and netscape then had color icons...so
unknowingly i was running in 24bpp when x first started then would switch to 16
which screwed netscape over.....and there was my problem...so if you have the
problem, check XF86Setup to see if your running in 24bpp without knowing.
also, i was able to get xwd to work with the x upgrade (thats why i upgraded so i
could make leeto screenshots). anyways, have a nice day everyone and thanks for
your help.

It's said that X can display output on another machine on the network, but
everyone seems to assume that the remote machine is a Linux-box. Isn't it
possible to run an application under W95 that can connect to my X-server
(RH6/mach64). This would allow W95-users to "run" X-programmes on their
machines...
That, i'd like to try. Only, i can't get hold of the proper software for the
W95-machine :(
Anyone who knows where to find this particular program on the 'net?

Suuuuuure. Try VNC. Works on Linux, Windows, Mac (others ?) Available
through www.orl.co.uk/vnc . Does exactly what you are looking for.
Windows to Windows, Linux to Windows, Windows to Linux etc. ( client server

good luck with it. Works great on a lan, not sure about performance over

Subject: PC X
Date: Fri, 11 Jun 1999 22:46:28 +0100
Hi,
Can anyone please cast any light on a problem I have in making a stable
linux to Win
98 PC connection ?
I am new to linux and to networking. I recently installed the SuSE 6.1
distribution on
a spare PC (P90 16 MB ram S3 Trio video card with only 1K ram detected). I
intend to upgrade this linux box substantially if only I can prove that the
plan I have
to access it via a PC X Windows server is feasible.
The PC is a home assembled celeron 400A with 128 MB of ram and an STB
velocity 4400 video card. It has a clen install of Win 98.
I have I have installed Liksys ethernet cards in both machines. Both are
recognised
by the respective OS's. They are the only machines on the network. The
card in the
PC client is bound only to TCP/IP. The PC client is 169.254.65.194 and the
linux
host is 169.254.65.195. I run as eth0 on the linux box. I get ping
responses in both
directions of < 1ms. I can telnet from the PC to the linux box without
problems.
I have installed demo versions of both Labtam's X-WinPro and Xlink's Omni-X.
With both of them I can create stable xterm sessions on the PC.
The problem I have is that it is sometimes imposible to begin, and it is
always
impossible to sustain, sessions running any window manager on the PC. All
the
WMs I have tried (fvmw, fvmw2, fvwm95, Afterstep, KDE), run slow but
completely stable on the monitor attached to the linux box, but when I fire
them up
under X-WinPro or Omni-X from the xterm window I get very unpredictable
results.
Either: (a) nothing happens, the mouse pointer freezes and the window (or in
worst
case the entire PC client), hangs; or (b) the window manager loads partially
then
freezes; or (c) most often the window manager loads fully (or appears to),
but after a
few simple mouse clicks opening / moving windows or launching applications
the
mouse pointer becomes "sticky" then freezes. Eventually in this case the
windows go
blank (white), and the xterm window no longer works. Sometimes I see a
string of
"fail" messages in this window - "could not draw this or create that window
.. failed
operation etc." - more often it is just blank. Very often I see that the
connection has
been reset by the PC peer. eg .... "XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection
reset by
peer) on X server 169.254.65.194:0.0 after 3784 requests (3782 known
processed) with 53 events remaining."
I ran "netstat -a" a few times on the linux monitor and watched the
connections at 2
second intervals whilst connected to the PC. I see send and receive queues
on some
of the connections when anything is happening at the PC end - between 20 and
2,000 items in the queues, averaging about 200. Because I am new to both
linux
and networking I do not know if this is good bad or average.
I also ran "netstat -i" on linux many times. Sample output :
MTU (1500) Met (0) RX-OK (68765) RX-ERR (0) RX-DRP(0) RX-OVR (0)
TX-OK (87107) TX-ERR (14) TX-DRP(0) TX-OVR (0) FLG (BRU).
The TX-ERR (like any ERR), looks worrying, but I simply don't have the
knowledge
to interpret it. On other runs I have seen no errors at all.
One final piece of data, after a few hours trying to get things to work I
ran "netstat
-s", on linux. For TCP I see :
117 active connections openings
0 passive connections openings
0 failed connection attempts
0 conection resets received
0 connections established
67979 segments received
87478 segments sent out
1078 segments retransmitted
0 bad segments received
9 resets sent
Here again, I lack the understanding to interpret these numbers.
As well as using xterm, I have tried exporting the linux display to the PC
and using
the "-d " switch to start the WMs on the PC. Although both of these work to
stary
the PC session, it always ends in the kind of crash I have described.
As I said, I am willing to upgrade the linux box, but I do not really want
to do so until
I know that X-WinPro or Omni-X is capable od delivering the goods. I
suppose
that the problem may just be that the old P90 is not up to the job - but
surely it
should be capable of running a few windows in a stable way on a remote
macine
when it has no other real work to do. Do I have a defective network card ?
Is my
configuration likely to be wrong ?
If you have bothered to read this far then thank you. If you can offer any
suggestions
I will be even more grateful.
Jim

Could it be a hardware error or is it a kernel bug ?
The server runs 2.2.9 and has a Intel Etherexpress PCI NIC.
I would really need help on this as some of our staff starts to think that
linux does not have the stability that we need.

Date: Fri, 11 Jun 1999 20:20:01 GMT
I recently installed RH 6.0 (on my Nth machine, so I'm not a newbie,
although I don't know everything). I was able to configure my Ethernet
card and "ping localhost" works, but when I try pinging anywhere else, I
get the message "Network is unreachable".
My Windows box next to my Linux box is able to reach the network
without problem. I'm using the same Ethernet tap and cable (switching
it from one machine to the other), so it can't be a problem with either
of those. I've set my Linux box to use the same values as my Windows
box, i.e.,
[static] IP: 144.91.21.46
subnet mask: 255.255.252.0
gateway: 144.91.1.5
DNS: 144.91.3.20, 144.91.3.22
Here's an excerpt from the results of "netstat -rn":
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags
144.91.21.46 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH

127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U
When I try: "route add default gw 144.91.1.5 metric 1", I get:

My computer is a Dell PowerEdge 2200.
Any ideas? I am greatly distressed that my Windows box is running
better than my Linux box. :-/

Personally I have found Linux easier to install, initially that is but much
harder to configure mostly due to it's freedom of choice.
Windows makes many decisions for the user and in many cases they work.
However there may be better ways of doing a given option
and this is where the poser of Linux can be seen.

I also had this problem recently and it was as a result of the

Proxy Server, I reset them to both be the same and it all worked fine. As a
hint, check the System Event Log on the NT server to see what errors are
being thrown up.

In addition to MI/X (which indeed is very inflexible, I had lots of trouble

Hehe, emacs is not a browser?
Netscape is not a browser?(Hmm you can't start things with it it is not

I also didn't mention Mozilla (not done yet, looks good though!), Amaya
(bizarre but working), tkhtml (primitive). There is another GPL-ed one, but I

Oh the Gnome Help browser has a primitive HTML parser too.

Can you kindly clarify for us, JP, whether the computer connected to the
internet will use a modem itself or a dedicated connection? As I understand
your original posting, one computer will dial the other computer which in turn
is connected to the internet, but you did not specify how the second computer
was connecting to the internet.
You might be referring to a RAS server possibly, however without further
clarification I cannot suggest more.

Do you have a guest user enabled in samba and a user account with the same
name on the linux box? The guest account should not have a password
assigned. There is some documentation on this in the samba FAQ I think. Be
careful with permissions for this account.

Date: 12 Jun 1999 21:58:03 GMT
I already have a primary dns setup for my private lan. I wondered if I have to
put my isp's dns ip address on the windows computers or if my dns (on the linux
computer) would forward the requests that it doesn't know the answers to, to
the isp?

This was neither helpful, nor very nice. Quite unnecessary, I think.
