To clarify, (actually, this seems to make things more confusing)
Yahoo:
linux: ping www.yahoo.com no packet loss
winnt: ping -t www.yahoo.com no packet loss
A Quake Server:
linux: ping 4.20.162.2 no packet loss
winnt: ping -t 4.20.162.2 packet loss!!!
I dont' know how PING works or what it does... but these are the honest
to goodness results... not experimentor bias here!!
[i belive winnt uses 32 byte ping packets and linux uses 64 byte packets]
Thanks again,

First, make sure that your NICs are working on both machines. Second,
make sure that ONE (and one only) of your cables is a crossover cable OR
your hub is setup to crossover. Now here goes the fun part!!
Under Linux, run the setup program (setup, linuxconf, etc.) and find your
NIC (eth0). It should have a few options about assigning an IP address:
DHCP, BOOTP, or Static IP. Make sure "Static IP Address" is selected,
checked, etc. It should give you a place to type your IP address. You
should use the following format: 192.168.x.x (where x.x is your last two
#'s). 192.168.x.x are IPs for private machines and networks. Once you
have chosen this, it will probably try to guess your netmask, gateway,
nameserver, etc. Make sure your netmask is set to 255.255.255.0 and the
rest should be null.
On your Wintel machine, use the network option in the control panel, make
sure you have TCP/IP is set up, and goto the option TCP/IP -> Your
Network Card. Click on the "IP Address" tab and set your IP Address
(192.168.x.x format) and your netmask (255.255.255.0).
Restart both machines and you should be able to ping, telnet, http, ftp,
etc.)

Ok this is a real long shot, but on my machines ( I have a linux
server samba'd to a Win98) I have a 3c509 in the linux box and a
linksys NIC in the Winbox. In order for the network to see each other
I have to bring up the 3com card first or restart the Winbox. Its a
quirk with the 3com card, ( a NIC with a superiority complex or
something <G>)

Typically, a utility like LISA (Linux Installation & System
Administration) is provided with Linux distributions. However, you can
always revert to the command-line tools like ifconfig (run as root or
super user) and configure the interface of your network card. Depending
on your kernel version you may also be able to add new modules using the
insmod utility to add NE2000 NIC drivers. Give this a try and get back
if you require further information or assistance. BTW, the man pages
and HOW-TOs may offer some insight.

You need to use setserial in a boot-up file, /etc/rc.d/rc.serial here but
it varies with distribution. The setserial command for a 2.0.x kernel
would be similar to
setserial /dev/ttySx uart 16550A port 0x2E8 irq 10 spd_vhi
and for a 2.2.x kernel it would be similar to
setserial /dev/ttySx uart 16550A port 0x2E8 irq 10
where ttySx is the device file the modem actually uses.

You don't need to use IPmasq. You do need the crossover cable, and the software
should take care of itself. Just make sure you have IP addresses set or setup a
DHCP server on your Linux machine. If you are able to ping between the
computers, your services should be working.

Surely someone out there has been able to make this work. I am having a
terrible time getting my DSL to work on my Linux box.
If someone can tell me how to set it up, I will be forever grateful....
I had the machine working as a dial up IP masquerading machine and it worked
great.
I now have ADSL and I cant seem to figure out how to set it up
The machine is a Mandrake 5.3 box with two ethernet cards.
I have my subnet on the LAN set to 255.255.255.0
My windows machines are 10.0.0.11 and 10.0.0.12.
I assigned the LAN (ETH0)card in the linux box 10.0.0.10 and the DSL router
(ETH1)card 10.0.0.99.
One thing I noticed was only one ethernet card worked when they were on the
same subnet. As a matter of fact whichever card initialized first, was the
one that worked. I changed the subnet on the DSL card and then they both
worked.
Anyway I am on a USWest dynamic assigned service.
Can anyone tell me what values to assign the DSL NIC ? And what info to use
in my routing.
Is there anything that would need changed in the router that would be
different from Windows ?
Many thanks in advance.

I share an ISDN link to the internet with my wife who uses it for online

activity 'hogs' the link and usually ends up with me being shouted at!
I have an NT Server running MS Proxy 2 serving a win95 workstation and a
RedHat Linux 6.0 workstation. Does anyone know how I can limit bandwidth use
so say we effectively have half each without ever hogging the whole
connection? Although the proxy server is currently a NT machine I'd be quite
happy to change to a Linux Server if I could solve this problem.

No offense, but I'm going to state a fact here. If you're getting monthly
BSODs running NT4 SP-3 or higher, either you have a hardware problem or an
operator problem. It has nothing to do with the OS, and blaming it on the OS
simply makes you look less than completely professional, at least when it comes
to NT. The rest of your points are not bad, but this one is terrible. This is
*your* experience, and admittedly, the experience of some other people who are
less knowledgeable than necessary to run and maintain the OS. This is *not*
the experience of the average NT user in a production or mission-critical
situation. You shouldn't suggest, even by implication, that it is.

I had a similiar problem, make sure you do not have a file entitled
