I have re-compiled the kernel with support for a SMC ultra isa network

However when both are installed only one is found. Any ideas? oh yeah
they have different io addresses and irq's..

I've been searching for a NIC to run a small network and choose the DEC
21?40 cards because they were supported by Linux and other OS's.
However, finding one is not easy. The Netgear FA310tx rev C uses one
but the ones I found were not DEC chipsets. :(
I located a DEC DE500 and an SMC 9332BDT but I can't find much one
these going through the archives here at Dejanews. These appear to be
supported by the Tulip drivers since they are using the aforementioned
chipset. Can anyone comment on these?

I agree with the first two entries, try to switch it to 98 being the
client and linux the diald server. But if you inter to stay with this
config, check out http://www.nat32.com/, their program is similar to what
ipchains/ipfwadm provides. The only problem I ever have is forward UDP
broadcasts properly.

Odd to find this question in a linux networking group, but this looks like
the card has a conflicting irq or io. If you downloaded the nic setup
tool and it couldn't find the nic, then definately there is something
conflicting with it. Once you get that settled, then when you try to
setup ms client, make sure you use the correct ndis driver. It seems you
are trying to use novell's odi driver. Usually, most ms drivers end in a
*.dos. If you are sure you are using the correct one, then you should
setup the ms client with any driver, then edit you ini files. It has been
a while, but I thing you could change the system.ini, and protocol.ini
found in the net dir.

Hi all,
All of a sudden PPP stopped working...It worked in the morning but after
I came back home at night it didn't work!(no reboot, the machine was on)
This is the message

Now only root can start pppd
I am running RedHat 6.0.
Any clue?

Diald version 0.16 requires patch level 5 to compile. But then again

As I understand it....you can run routed on the machine, then make that
machines IP address as the gateway for all the machines on your network.
With some configureing of the routed, it should know how to route packets
from all the machines on the network to the outside world, and all share the
PPP connection.

The chain is used to ground the cable at (only) one point.
The shock indicates you've got an electrical problem somewhere. Get
it fixed, before it kills someone. There should *NEVER* be any
hazardous voltage on that cable.

Bad idea! Do not start ppp connections as root!
Four steps:
1. create group dialout (or call it "ppp", or "dip", or ...)
2. add the user to this group
3. "chmod 4750 /usr/sbin/pppd"
4. "chgrp dialout /usr/sbin/pppd"

Without that chain, the cable is not grounded anywhere. The BNC
connectors are supposed to be isolated from the computer ground, to
prevent ground loops etc. The shield should be grounded at one point.

If it is really a chain it is not intended as a ground but as a means of

You need a proper wire and not a chain to ground your cable.

Linux server.
The problem is that Netscape Messenger on the Linux server, Netscape
Messenger on the Linux workstation, and Outlook Express on the WIN98
workstation cannot establish a connection when sending and receiving mail.
Actually....it appears that all will send, but none of them will receive.
I suspect the problem is with POP3 / SMTP configuration on the RH 6.0
server. Netscape and Outlook Express want a POP3 server for incoming mail,
and a SMTP server for outgoing mail. The RH 6.0 Linuxconf tool for setting
up a mail server only uses POP for the protocol. There is no separate
incoming and separate outgoing protocol configuration, plus from the pull
downs, Linuxconf only supports POP, SMTP, or UUCP.
I want to set the mail server up so it can server any e-mail client.
Thanks.
Any ideas?
