I have everything I need installed (NIC card, Linux 6.0(redhat), Gnome)
but im not shure of how to have it so i can browse my Windows 98 network
from my Linux box. I very new to this, but Im very experienced with
Win98.
Also, I use a internet shareing program in Windows 98, in order to set
up net access on a Win98 machine, I just have to go to the properties of
my NIC card's TCP/IP networking properties in the network neighborhood,
and set Gateway to 192.168.0.1(host computers IP), Enable DNS, and put
any name I want in the Host field, and I can specify an IP address or
have one obtained automatically....how do i set this up on
X-Windows??????

1) Reliability -- Linux boxes don't go down. In four years of running
Linux I've NEVER had a kernel panic on a production system. Compare this
to the, on average, monthly BSODs on my NT 4.0 server (both the Linux
Apache and NT IIS servers are running on PII/266 boxes, 128M RAM, 5.7
Gig IDE, 5 Gig SCSI).
2) Performance -- The magazine articles you mentioned are probably
referring to the Mindcraft study. There were problems with the
credibility of study that have been documented elsewhere. Admittedly,
the test did show some shortcomings with the old Linux kernel on
high-middle PC hardware. However, on machines that I use (one to two
processor, PII/400, 128-256M RAM average), Linux blasts NT away for file
and web serving. The newest Linux kernel addresses the problems with the
version in the study.
3) Availability of software -- This is usually opposite to what Windows
folks might say. However, I use mostly development, graphics and
mathematical software. The cost of these packages would be prohibitive
on other platforms. The shortcoming is that there are relatively few
production applications (like Office, contact and project managers,
etc).
4) Price -- Buy one copy of any Linux distro and I can install it on as
many machines as I choose. When someone purchases a machine, I burn a CD
for them without paying another nickel (or $600 as the case may be) for
the OS license.

Subject: dhcpd server with a dhcpc interface ?
Date: Sun, 13 Jun 1999 11:19:03 -0400
Hi:
I have a multi-homed linux box with four Ethernet cards. One interface
is
connected to the Internet by a cable-modem which I need to use dhcpcd to
get my IP address. I need also to run a dhcpd server on the same Linux
box
for some PC on the others networks. When I run the dhcpd server, it says
that I have an dhcp-client interface and that it cannot load the daemon.
Is there a way to use a dhcpd server on a system that have one
dhcp-client
interface ?
Thanks for any help.

After upgrading RH5.2 2.0.36 to 2.2.8 I was unable to get any connection

Hi folks - I'm using RH 5.1 w/ kernel 2.0.34 and samba 1.9.18p10.
I used to be able to mount a WinNT share using smbmount - but tried compiling
a new kernel and modules, and now I get a "device or resource busy" error
when I try to mount it.
The mount-point is unmounted and I can access the share through smbclient.
Any Ideas?
In addition, I have a DJ720C attached to the same machine as the share, would
anyone have a suggestion to get that working through lpd?

Running routed on such a machine is not a good idea. It will initiat
dialing regulary or drop the default-route from time to time. Since
there is only a static routing of need running any routing-daemon is
overkill.
The whole configuration can be pretty standard one. Some keywords are
- pppd
- diald
- IP-Masquerading
I don't think we need to describe the complete installation here. As
told it is pretty standard. It can be setted up with the usual
HOWTO-reading.

Denis,
It appears that you havent setup your Linux box to resolve hostnames. There
are two ways of doing this. The canonical way is to setup a DNS server, but I
would recommend that to a newbie. The other, much faster way is to set up your
/etc/hosts file. So, for instance, this file could contain :
153.3.102.8 godzilla.acpub.duke.edu
And thats all that you would need to do.

Kenneth

Compaq uses Winmodems in all the Presario line. I use a older Megahertz
modem, and it works great. Look for the older stuff. It is cheaper, and
better supported.

Hello
I´m trying to hook up my pc to the internet using RH5,2. (Apollo
Kernel 2.0.3-PPD 2.3.5) but I have experiencing problems, here are the
symptoms:
-I can establish a connection with the ISP succesfully
-I can ping the ISP DNS server, ping the given IP address (dynamic IP)
and the ISP remote computer
-The DNS resolver works fine, any address get translated to its IP
number.
-I cannot get ping responses from any computer outside the ISP
machines.
According to various FAQ´s it looks like a default route
problem, somehow the my pc cannot get past the ISP servers,has anyone
experienced a similar problem? BTW my internet connection in W95 (on
the same machine, same modem, different HDD) works ok.
Any hypothesis for it?

Sure you can. pppd will take care of the IP over ppp, and you can setup
as many ethernet cards as you want with ifconfig. I have right now 3
IPs: one for the dial-in internet connection, and one for each of the 2
NICs in my machine.

Off the top of my head, id say that your problem is that you cannot route
127.0.0.1 OR 10.0.0.1 to the outside world. And your default gateway
is incorrect. It should be something like 255.255.255.0 (likely for dialup)
or 254 (for two local ip addresses).

go to www.register.com - I registered my domain there, and they allow you to
use their DNS Servers. as for IP, hostnames, etc. you can register a
Domain Name and not use it until you're ready. you can always go to a
website like www.freeservers.com to get them to "virtual host" your web

My partner and I run a SuSE linux based cybercafe which we set up ourselves
in West London, UK. Our url www.rainbowcyber.co.uk/ might be worth a look
around.
We configured each terminal with three different user levels, the lowest of
these being for
the user cybernaut with password coffeeshop. For this user we set up a twm
(tiny window manager) which has a basically just a clock and a netscape.
Once you have configged the various user levels, under SuSE Linux, (our
chosen distribution) you can switch into graphical log-in mode and give cafe
visitors that login and p/w for their session.
When you boot up your systems each day, it will come up straight to the
log-in prompt and you can either start the terminals manually, or let
visitors log in themselves. You could set up a higher level access (say to
KDE) under another username/password for trusted users in the same manner if
you didn't want to create an account for each user.
You need to look into the skel (userlevel template) files for more info on
this.

the modem to it's default settings of port 2e8, irq 10 but linux detects the

modem busy error. My modem only supports irq settings of 9,10,11 and 12.
Is there any way to correct detection of modem. I use Loadlin to boot linux
and can add any necessary kernel boot commands if somebody can email the
correct settings to me. I have tested the dialer using a borrowed external
modem and this is working, just need to configure internal modem irq
correctly. This is not a winmodem as it works with Arachne dos web browser
when windoze is not running if I use the dos isapnp utility I have.

I decided to provide some more info for the ping problem, in case anyone
needs it. The ping of 0.5-7ms then ~1000ms was from the laptop @
192.168.1.3. Coming from the tower @ 192.168.1.1 to the laptop, on the
other hand, begets the following:

Every single time PPP is started, I get this:
Jun 12 22:08:47 diablo modprobe: can't locate module ppp0
Jun 12 22:08:48 diablo kernel: registered device ppp0
Jun 12 22:08:49 diablo pppd[101]: pppd 2.3.8 started by root, uid 0
Why would modprobe be looking for ppp0 when it seems to be built into the
kernel? (What IS ppp0?)
