Thanks for the info, by now I�m really convinced that it's a Winmodem, but I
believe that I found the solution for the problem!
I send the "#%&%&" modem back and ordered an EXTERNAL one :-)

Subject: Telnet/FTP Login Problems

Has anyone got a clue what might be happening here ?
I can Telnet/FTP into my Linux box either remotely from
a Win95 session or locally via the loopback interface, both say
they have connected. HOWEVER neither Telnet or FTP respond immediately
with the expected 'Login:' prompt, if I wait 1 or 2 minutes the 'Login'
prompt finally appears and I can login normally and use the session.
Any ideas what could be causing the delay ?
Many Thanks

Also check to see if your NIC is using the 10BT jack, if it has multiple media
types. I had this same situation with my 3com 3c509b card - the card was in
autosense mode, and didn't pick up the 10BT connection in Linux. I had to get
the NIC config tool (from 3com web site) and statically set the network media
from auto to 10baseT/RJ45, and then save the config to the NIC EEPROM.
Before making this change, all my network info (i.e., ifconfig eth0) showed that
the link was fine, except for the fact that there was no link :-)
Look in /var/log/messages and search for the string "eth0" to see what your NIC
is doing during the system boot. It was here that I was able to tell that the
card was coming up with the BNC connection active.
Cheers,
Bruce
p.s. if you post the info George suggested below, maybe add which NIC you are
using as well.

May be, too. But I had the problem with the net cable disconnected,

Subject: linux printing to "networked" serial printer
Date: Mon, 14 Jun 1999 15:24:00 -0500
Hello,
Any idea's how I would print to a serial printer on a Digital Terminal
Server 300 from Linux (ultimately from W95 machines through Samba)? The
terminal server has been given an IP address and I'm restricted to using TCP
port numbers 2001-2016. Through Digial's OpenVMS I can find the printer by
setting up a telnet print queue to "172.16.1.242:2016"
I can get to the printer from Linux using the Perl script detailed in the
Linux "Printing HOWTO", but can't from lpr. I assume this is because I
can't specify the port as 2016 in lpr. I've checked into "rlpr" a little
since this program does allow the specifing of specific TCP ports, but
haven't had much success here (I do get a printout, but seems to be part of
a setup script, not the actual print file). And anyway since "rlpr" doesn't
use the printcap file would it work through Samba?
The question is which tact should I pursue? lpr, rlpr, or TCP direct
through Perl? Lpr seems to be the most conventional. Am I missing
something here for getting the right port number?
Thanks for any input.

ddd-3.1.5 is prepared too but pppd needs to be modified (this is true
for 2.3.8 at least).
Mind that some things still work if you've got the obsolete devices
around, so to make sure you've to remove the master and slave devices, then
you'll see what you've missed 8) Mind to a recompile will not do the job
for pppd and telnetd.

Well my ISP uses DHCP, so my IP changes every few months. For the
secondary name server I have friend willing to use his computer. I
don't think my ISP will allow me to run a web server, but I've run one
very often with no problems. If I buy the domain I should still be able
to accomplish what I'm trying to right?

Dear David,
Thanks for your response concerning my ethernet question. I believe all the
requirements are being fulfilled, but it still doesn't work.
netstat -rn gives the following table:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
131.174.172.192 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 dummy
131.174.172.128 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.128 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
0.0.0.0 131.174.172.129 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
ifconfig gives the following among other things:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:4B:D7:CF:4E
inet addr:131.174.172.192 Bcast:131.174.172.255 Mask:255.255.255.128
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
etc. etc.
So eth0 seems to run proparly, right?! Changing cables as you suggested,
works on another PC, connected to the same network.
Only ping 131.174.172.192 (my PC's address) works, but I understand that
this connection runs via the loopback and not via eth0! So, I am afraid I
don't understand the basic configuration procedure.
Please try to give some more trouble shooting suggestions, if possible.
Thanks in advance.
Greetings
Gerard

Hmm, definately check your NICs, one thing to check is to see if you

for the NIC. I had problems with my 3com EtherIII and their driver

Subject: How to make lookups start with /etc/hosts?
I have just installed Netscape 4.6 on my Redhat 6.0-ish system, and I
now have a need to finally sort out a problem which has been bugging me
for a while.
My setup is a number of linux and Windows boxes on an ethernet LAN. I
use one of the Linux boxes to dial-up my ISP and masquerade for the
other boxes. I also have Squid running on the box since masquerading
doesn't seem to work 100%.
Anyway, the issue is that I would like my Linux Workstation to use its
/etc/hosts file for name resolution before trying any nameservers. I
have
/etc/hosts:
order hosts,bind
.
.
/etc/nsswitch.conf
.
.
hosts: files dns
.
.
But nslookup never goes to /etc/hosts. Apparently Netscape uses the same
mechanism as nslookup to resolve names, because when I start it it hangs
for several minutes while it tries to resolve a bunch of names. If I
start ppp on the server before I start Netscape there is no problem.
However the mechanism I have to start ppp uses a web-page on the server
to bring it up and down and give statistics. Which means I'm screwed,
since Netscape can't find the address of the server unless ppp is
already running.
What am I missing? I'm sure this must be simple.
Other info. kernel is 2.2.2, glibc-2.1-0.990222

Hi Dean,
My personal experience is that IP masquerading works most, but not all of the
time.
For shared Internet access running a proxy is much better. Try Squid, it works
great for me!

DHCP has nothing to do with host name resolution on Win95 and NT systems.
Each time these systems are started they will anounce their host names and
ip addresses. This will be added to or verified in the Master Browsers
database. If they have sharing enabled they will show up when browsing the
network. Nothing needs to be done accept to enable sharing on the Win95 and
NT systems.
