Subject: DLink 530 *Tulip* HOW TO?
Date: Sun, 13 Jun 1999 19:40:25 -0700
As someone NEW to Linux, I am impressed with the
'energy' in the forums and on the various sites.
I have installed (successfully) my FIRST LINUX server,
BUT cannot figure out how to use the DLink Driver I
downloaded for the 530 NIC. It came from the 'official'
LINUX nic driver site, linked to DLINK. But how
do I use this 'module' (if that is what it is... called
"via-rhine.c" ) I know that LINUX doesn't automatically
find the NIC as it is not supported in 5.2 (?? Hmm wonder
about 6.X??)
Greatly appreciate any howto's on this in a more
lucid text than the few I've found.. like, step1, step2
and so forth.. Thanks very much.

Subject: Long delays during service requests + where is a POP server??
Date: Tue, 15 Jun 1999 22:32:30 +0100
Hiya everyone,
I have a win98 machine and a linux box (RedHat v6.0). They can talk to
each other with no problem (pings always work with no delay). But, there's a
huge delay when trying to initiate connections to services.
I've tried telnets, ftps and https. All of them can produce a delay for
up to a minute at a time. When you're trying to browse the linuxconf web
version, it's a real pain (putting it mildly:) because it delays for every
page load. I'm pretty sure that the problem's on the linux box - I can see
the net traffic which shows the win98 machine performing retries. Once
connected (i.e. telnet) there's no problem from then on. FTP Explorer claims
to connect straight away, but then waits for ages to initiate the d/load.
I'm also trying to find a POP server. Despite what everyone says (I've
seen other discussions about this) about a pop server being on the redhat
distribution, I haven't found it yet - or anything on the red hat site. I
eventually found qpopper v5.2 - but the RPM seems to be incomplete (or it
doesn't match what its documents say). Can anyone give me a *definite*
location/url where I can find it??
Any help appreciated...
Hippy.

Subject: Behind firewall.. getting out?
Date: Tue, 15 Jun 1999 19:14:37 GMT
I'm behind a proxy and firewall on which only web ports for traffic are
allowed out. I was wondering if there's any sort of application set so
I could use a web browser (and maybe run a JAVA app) to use the web
port to communicate with something on a Linux system which I have on
the outside world to FTP, telnet, or other applications from. So I'd
use my browser (and any JAVA apps it loads.. or I could run some other
program on this system than a browser) to interact thru port 80 with
the other system. Suggestions?

I have a similar problem to the one Peter describes -- I have a box with
SuSE 6.1 and a Netgear ethernet card that runs on a modified tulip driver
supplied by Netgear. The driver seems to sit just fine with the kernel
and everyone's happy at boot until the routing is initialized, when I get
the same miserable messages he transcribed. The same driver and card are
on the other box (which runs RH5.2) in my two-box network without this
problem. I thought my routing might be to blame, but I've been over it
repeatedly. Any clues appreciated.

Root is normally NOT allowed to FTP for security reasons. I suggest that,
instead of trying to "fix" this, just create and use an user account.
If you really have to have root FTP access (good luck!)... well, I don't do
RedHat, but you might have a look at your /etc/ftpaccess file (if you have
it).

Does /var/log/messages show anything? doesn't pppd explain why it is
going down? Also, many pppd options could cause the link to go down
for various reasons. (lcp-echo-failure, for example)
And the options might be in a file somewhere, unbeknownst to you.
(mine are in /etc/ppp/options)
hope this helps.

There is almost surely a link in several of the rc[0-6].d directories
pointing to /etc/rc.d/init.d/network. This is the script that brings up
your
network. One good way to get your firewall rules installed is to put them
into a separate script, and then call that script from within the `start'
section
of the network script.
In mine, the first line (added) of the `start' section reads
echo "0" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
# this turns off forwarding (in case it was on), so that we can safely
# put the firewall rules in *before* any packets get (mis)handled.
Then, after the code that does
./ifup $i boot,
I have put the actual call to the firewall initialization script:
if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/ipfwinit ] ; then
. /etc/sysconfig/ipfwinit
fi
# and then start forwarding
ipv4_forward_set
The advantage of this scheme is that it works automatically when you
start or stop networking, and you don't ever have to think about it
separately when you alter which runlevels have networking operational.

Subject: DNS - strange behavior
Date: Tue, 15 Jun 1999 21:43:06 GMT
I've got Redhat 6.0. I'm attempting to run DNS using bind 8.2 (shipped
with Redhat). Named appears to be running fine, nslookup works great,
forward & backward lookups work, mx, a, any, etc. all look ok. Syslog
shows no errors when named starts. The only thing that appears
incorrect is when you run nslookup, the server address shows as 0.0.0.0
as opposed to 127.0.0.1 (although a lookup on 127.0.0.1 returns
localhost and a lookup on localhost returns 127.0.0.1). The server
works fine as the DNS for desktops on the lan. The problem I'm having
is that commands run from the server where DNS is running do not appear
to be communicating with named. for instance if i try to ping hostname,
it responds with unknow host, even though nslookup resolves the hostname
fine. The same goes for sendmail (the BIG problem), telnet, ftp,
traceroute. I have gone over all the configuration files and all appear
OK. Anybody have any ideas???
Thanks...

Any ideas as to how to test the driver? As you may surmise, the driver was picked

If you read the supplied URL above, you'll learn that microsoft doesn't have
to cheat, to give a better performance than linux on an SMP box.
Personally, I'd like to see the results on the same machine, when
linux is swapped out for solaris.

I have a Diamond SupraExpress 56i (not "PRO"). It is definately not a
winmodem. It is plug-n-play, though, and is probably being given wierd
I/O addresses.
Option 1: I ended up disabling my computer's on-board serial port two so
that the modem would be assigned those values. This only works because
my PC is plug-and-play, and the card is configured correctly on boot up.
Luckily I had a ps/2 mouse, and could live without com2.
Option 2: When I had a 486 I had to boot to DOS, use some pnp
configuration tools that would set my device (sound blaster), and then
use loadlin.exe to load my kernel and boot to linux.
Option 3: Read up on the pnp configuration tools for linux.
Good luck,
Fred

Date: Tue, 15 Jun 1999 15:15:46 -0700
Hi,
This is my first time posting, so forgive me if this is not the
correct
news group for this. I have a brand new spanking Comtrol PCI
Rocketport with 8 I/O ports, (I'm trying to build a pppd dialin
Server).
I installed the hardware, downloaded the drivers from
ftp.comtrol.com and recompiled them as per the instructions,
(make clean; make; make install;) Everything went smoothly.
The machine detects the board during the boot process.
The problem is that after rebooting the machine, I dont see the 8 new
ttyR*
in the /dev directory. Consequently, the attempts to load the driver
fail.
I suspect this is because I am forgetting to configure something,
perhaps with the setrocket program that comes with the install,
but the instructions do not mention this, and my UNIX knowledge
is is not super extensive.
Here are the contents of a cat of the /proc/pci
Bus 0, device 15, function 0:
Communication controller: Comtrol RocketPort 8 Intf (rev 4).
Slow devsel. IRQ 7.
I/O at 0xf4c0.
Here is the error that I get during boot and also when I
try to invoke the driver by hand.

Subject: trying to get net up. ethernet
Date: Tue, 15 Jun 1999 22:09:08 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I am reading the net 3 1.3 howto, I have a working dynamic PPP setup to m
my isp. I created the route and ifconfig files in a batch file called
netboot in my ./root directory. file is this
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0
# route add default gw 192.168.1.1 eth0
I have that last line commented out as then I cannot use PPP! Ok now the
PPP link is offline for my testing I type on the linux site
ping 192.168.1.3 #this is the XT running ncsa telnet
The result is 100% packet failure!
from NCSA telnet I type
telnet 192.168.1.10
which results in the message gateway or network unreachable.
what other changes to files on the Linux system Must I do to get the
ethernet system at least Cursing at each other while maintaining my dymanic
isp connection via ppp-on (I am running Slackware souped up ver 3.1 (my own
hacked and modified version. original network drivers however)
on the XT right now I have a Kingston KNE-20 network card. it DOES
want to talk to the system as its little lights on the back of the card
light up when trying to negotiate a connection. using the Kingston kne-20
packet driver. the 486 is using a Lantastic Artisoft AE-2/c with jumper w7
set in A setting. I also have a SMC/WD8103EP card as well as a spare
Artisoft AE-2/C card.
Email or posting/email desired as this forum gets to busy and right
now its too hot to go through it all. When I can get my little net up, I
will be able to use it from the XT in the bedroom via telnet, wuuld be a
godsend also for file transfers as then I would not need to move my
bernoulli box from system to system . Both systems are Scsi equipped.

Thanks, that helped me a lot. Now the Samba is running and I can see the
Linux box from my Win95 client but i can't open the shared folder. I must
have something wrong when it comes to the user and password stuff. Do I need
to have specified passwords for Samba or can it use the same from Linux?
