I have read the Diskless HOWTO and the man pages on BOOTPD and TFTPD.
I understand that the client sends it ethernet address out on a broadcast
packet that a server will respond to (if it can) by replying with the nodes
assigned IP (or DHCP gets involved I am worried about fixed IP right now).
BOOTP config file has the file name etc. I know that BOOTP uses tftp, but
does bootp invoke tftp to push the kernel to the client or does the bootp
client, on the node, invoke the tftp client on the node after the node
receives its IP and the servers IP from the reply?
In short:
Which system initiates the file transfer using tftp, server or client?
Does bootp invoke tftp directly? If not, how is it done?

Don't get an external "modem" type ISDN adapter. It uses com ports to
communicate and will usually limit you to 115kbps. Get an ISDN router instead
they are nearly the same price (Netgear anyway) and work great.

Subject: service unavailable?
Date: 17 Jun 1999 18:02:58 GMT
Greetings All!
I'm setting up a mailserver running linux with sendmail V8 (host1). The
server dosn't have any user accounts, just relays all incomming mail
from my ISP to another host (host2). This works. I can send mail from
the mailserver (host1) to the internet and it gets relayed to my ISP.
This works. I've got my other host (host2) to relay all outgoing mail
to my mailserver (host2). this works. I look in the mailq and can see
them queued up.
Here's where it breaks down. when my mailserver connects to my ISP and
does a "sendmail -q", it relays all email, except the mail that was
relayed to it from Host2.
On the console I get the error:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>...Service unavailable.
Where "<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" is any address i tried to send to.
And in my sendmail log, I get the following line:
Jun 16 18:13:23 uranus sendmail[634]: SAA00632:
to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01,
mailer=relay, relay=mail.netheaven.com [198.69.28.162], stat=Service
unavailable
Any ideas what I've got screwed up? Must be some line in the
sendmail.cf file probably, but I can't figure it out.
I'm soooooo close, but sooooo far away.
Thanks guys!
Ron

Well, I think that if you set Netscape to "leave messages on mail

Pine can read them as well. Hope this can be a direction for you

You need to tell the mail service (sendmail?) that it answers for both
domains. I will assume you are using sendmail. In which case you need to
set the sendmail configuration file "sendmail.cw" (or whichever file is
defined in the sendmail.cf directive "Fw/etc/sendmail.cw") to contain a list
of the names (aliases) for your machine...

I'm no sendmail expert, but we just had a similar error (different
situation) but we resolved it by adding a file in /etc/mail/ called
relay-domains and adding the domains that are allowed to relay mail
throught the mail host. So I guess in your case you could try adding both
a.com and b.com to the file on separate lines and restart sendmail and see
if that works.
Good luck.

What we need is "SuperProbe" for NICs, I totally agree, and I have a NIC

If the other machine are running Win95/98 just go into the devices and

If you have good karma this will be enough. If not you may have to

There's an IPX package around, I don't remember the name. Netware 3.12

you can convince management that scrapping NW and going to Linux/SAMBA

Subject: Collisions on 10Mbps w/2.2
Date: Thu, 17 Jun 1999 18:50:18 GMT
After some more experimenting with the collisions-on-NFS problem with
the 2.2 kernel I thought I was having earlier, I have determined that it
is not limited to NFS and appears to be an issue with 2.2's network
stack on all the 10Mbps network devices I have access to.
Any machine with a 10Mbps NIC that I set up with the 2.2 kernel reports
a huge percentage (as much as 30-40%) of collisions. If I take the
exact same hardware and install a 2.0 kernel on it, the collisions go
away and network performance improves. If I take the exact same 2.2
machine and replace the 10Mbps NIC with a 100Mbps NIC on 100Mbps port,
the collisions go away. If I then put the 100Mbps NIC on a 10Mpbs port,
the collision rate soars. Note that only collision rates get extreme,
actual errors remain at 0, but network performance noticably degrades.
So far I've seen this behaviour with NE2000-clone, 3Com 3c509, 3Com
3c900 10Mbps NICs and the Intel EtherExpress Pro 100Mbps NIC
(Unfortunately, that is the only 100Mbps NIC I have access to.) using my
little "ThunderLAN" switch, a nice Cisco 10/100Mbps and a really nice
BayStack 10/100Mpbs switch on two separate and vastly different
networks. (I don't have access to a "dumb" hub to see if the results are
the same.) I can reproduce these results essentially on demand.
As far as I can tell, it doesn't matter if there are 100Mbps machines on
the switch or not. I.e. either 10Mbps cards or 100Mbps cards running at
10Mpbs generate collisions even between themselves.
I wish I had more understanding of what is going on here, but my
knowledge of network behaviour is limited. I have, however, had a CCIE
friend of mine help try to troubleshoot the problem and to the best of
our abilities, we've narrowed it down to something in the 2.2 network
stack. The biggest clue is that if I take the exact same hardware and
put 2.0 on it without changing anything else, the problem goes away.

When you say "can't see" do you mean as in can't ping, can't mount

If it's the 2nd problem there's a name service issue, nmb needs a

You can override the RO specification that is in your /etc/lilo.conf on
the lilo command line (when you get "lilo:" hit <CTRL> or <ALT>):
lilo: boot: linux rw
This will get you going with some warnings about e2fsck'ing a RW drive,
but you can then edit your /etc/rc.d/rc.S back to its original state and
be fine.

slight step further. the only contacts that can move or change a domain
without issue are the technical and administrative. registrant doesn't help.
if the former ISP is both admin and technical contact, you're in for a
problem. lesson for anyone out there. ALWAYS list yourself as
administrative contact. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS... follow your ISP's rules for
technical, normally they want to be listed as technical billing, although
they pay for the domain, has no "pull". billing is normally only contacted
once per year.
if you can prove registration, even with your ISP as technical and admin, you
can force a change, but it's not as easy as the above settings.
