weird. It displays as HTML-plaintext the first time
I load it in Netscape Communicator (4.08, 4.5, 4.6),
but if I click 'reload' it displays normally. In
IE 4, it displays properly every time. ...?

Thanks Rob, I'll check that out. Sounds a bit complicated.
I want to access my Linux box using an Xclinet running on Win95.
The freeware XClient I have downloaded, M/IX needs telnet.
I have ppp running already on my Linux machine as I use it to connect to

I am curious to know whether it is possible
to find out a gateway address from the IP and
Netmask. I'm using rogers@home and they didn't
give me a Gateway IP---unfortunately I indicated I
was running Linux...NOTE I can connect to the
net without any apparent problem---I use the IP
address as a Gateway since that is what the slackware
netconfig program indicated..
Should I be using dhcp? apparently the IP address can
wander...although it appears they try to keep it fixed.

I am having a similar problem on my machine, but mine is with eth0 and
eth1! Linux does not seem to want to recognize two cards that use the same
module. I have also read all the HOWTO�s and still do not have it
working, but I do have a few suggestions for you. Maybe you will have
better luck than I. ;-)
In your /etc/conf.modules try:
alias eth2 epic100
alias eth3 epic100
options epic100 io=0xXXX,0xYYY irqX,Y
or (if that doesn�t work)
alias eth2 epic100
alias eth3 epic100
options �o epic100 io=XXX irqX
options �o epic100 io=YYY irqY
Both of these have (supposedly) worked for others I have talked to. I hope
it will work for you! By the way XXX is for eth2 and YYY is for eth3.
You can also to use an append in your lilo.conf
append="ether=(irq),0xXXX,eth2 ether=(irq),0xYYY,eth3"
I have not talked to anyone this has worked for but I have seen it in more
than one Linux book. Best of luck to you! If anything works be sure to
let me know. Or if anyone out there can see what I am doing wrong and can
help me with my system I would be appreciative. (Right now I am trying to
recompile the kernel with the needed driver built in and not as a module �
read it would work someplace). I know this is help from a failure (for
now), but I hope it is better then no help at all.
Good Luck,

Hello,
I am trying to install the via-rhine driver into my RedHat 5.2.
I am doing everything I am told and I am using the gcc compile-code
at the end of via-rhine.c
I keep getting the error
"gcc: via-rhine.c : No such file or Directory"
the compilecode is
gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c via-rhine.c `[ -f
/usr/include/linux/modversions.h ] && echo -DMODVERSIONS`
I did notice the -I parameter /usr/src/linux/net/inet is not on my file
system.
Does anyone know where this should point to for RH5.2?
I am really stuck - its been weeks!
Thank You

Default gateway and other network configurations can be set in the
/etc/sysconfig/network file. the command ifconfig can be used to
configure a device. Installing cards can be affected by recompiling the
kernel and modules.

I suppose that may work if he is running Redhat. Slackware is

My apachectl, on a slackware machine, lives in /var/lib/apache/sbin.
You can always try the good old find command.

1.
You need to do alot of things, like enabling IP forwarding. Making sure the
kernel supports IP formwarding. Did you read the HOWTO's. Geez, I can't
rember the names of them all, but look in the HOWTO directory on the CD (or
on the internet).
I'm going from memory here:
NET3-HOWOTO
Firewall-HOWTO
Masqerading-HOWTO or is it IPMasquerading-HOWTO
You'll need to make the linux box the gateway for your Winoughs box too.
Good luck!
2.
I use smbmount. I love it. You need to re-compile the kernel though: to
enable smbfs, the filesystem used by Windows shares.
You can also use smbclient without re-compiling the kernel. You know: for
instant gratification. Try something like this:
smbclient //winpc/c

First thing is read the README file in the /usr/src/linux2.x.x dir
then its a matter of
make config (text line by line) or better make menuconfig (much
better interface for newbies)
next do make dep
then make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
(you might have to cp the System.map file in that compile dir to /boot
and rename it to something like System.map-2x.x Look in the /boot
dir and see what is there now. Generally the System.map in that dir a
symlink to the file System.map-2x.x.x
don't forget to make a boot disk /LILO that new kernel. see HOW-TO's

Subject: dhcpcd redhat 6 fails after kernel rebuild
Date: Fri, 18 Jun 1999 17:14:00 -0400
hello-
I had the stock redhat 6.0 system running fine and using dhcpcd from
the first try.
I rebuilt the kernel (upgraded to 2.2.10) It loads fine and my goal of
having the scsi tape driver built in worked. however now dhcpcd fails
to get me an IP.
if I run dhcpcd from the command line it returns giving no information.
if I use netcfg it says that the interface is active. if I deactivate
it the terminal says "action failed" or something to that effect.
when I reactivate it is seems to succeed but I still have no IP
ifconfig shows eth0 configured fine but the field for inet address is
totally missing.
Is this a coincidence and my dhcp server is down? or just not wanting
to give me an IP?
I am tired and it is friday so I am going home.
any help that is here on monday (or after) will be appreciated...
-eric
BTW it's an intel PII 400 64 MB ram. 3com NIC
it all worked before, I just rebuilt
did I forget a module? I built all the networking stuff into the
kernel. I may have missed something on dhcp though...? thanks

http://www.dyer.vanderbilt.edu/server/udma/ is your friend! There is a
patch against 2.0.37pre12 which includes support for the Promise Ultra66
(PDC20262). It will probably patch cleanly against 2.0.37 final, if not
it shouldn't be hard to fix.
Also be sure to upgrade to the latest & patched hdparm if you dare to
fiddle with it.

LILO 2.1 ought to understand the ide2/ide3 channels once you've got the
kernel configured happily. If necessary upgrade to a current LILO from
contrib.redhat.com (if there's a package) or metalab.unc.edu.

Please read the documentation! At the least check out the Kernel HOWTO -
http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html.
Basically you need to first configure the kernel - I like 'make
menuconfig' for its nice, simple menu interface. Then you must run 'make
dep', and _then_ you can compile the kernel itself in one of a variety
of ways (my preference is 'make bzImage', then I copy the resulting
kernel image into the appropriate location and tweak my LILO config).

Could be a routing problem - run 'route -n' and make sure your ppp
connection is showing up in there. Also double-check that the ppp
network device is up - 'ifconfig ppp0' should give some clues. Check
/etc/resolv.conf to make sure DNS servers are configured.

To get into bios press DEL or F1 during boot. It should be possible to assign

This is not MS design. You can make any decent OS redundant with clusters.
It's just so hard with NT that MS just recently created this ability.

No the 99.8 % uptime is for this setup. I think for a single machin running NT
nothing better than 98 % is possible. Real OS can do the same with one
machine.

Stupidity can't be helped. If you are stupid, no OS will help you.

Subject: ppp no arp?
Date: Fri, 18 Jun 1999 17:22:41 -0500
Hi,
I have 2 linux boxes built. One is running Red Hat kernel 2.0.35 and the
other is RedHat 6.0 kernel 2.2.5. Both are configured identically to be a
gateway to the internet on a lan. The older kernel box works beautifully as
always, but the new RedHat with kernel 2.2.5 no workee.
The 2.2.5 kernel box wont route packets accross the ppp link from a windows
machine. But I can ping anywhere accross the link on the linux box. I can
ping this side of the ppp link on the linux box from the windows machine,
but not the other side?
The only difference I have noticed between the two boxes is that the newer
kernel box has NOARP in the ppp0 information when looking at ifconfig. Could
this have anything to do with it? Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated!
ps. I have no firewall on it yet, and i have the appropriate route added for
the windows machines to work correctly with the dhcpd on the linux boxes.
Thanks
Scott

Subject: Vpn Question
Date: Fri, 18 Jun 1999 15:20:38 -0700
I have 4 remote private networks. Each network has an ADSL (static ip)
connected to a Linux box (RedHat ver 6 kernel 2.2) running a firewall
and IP Masquerading for access to the internet for each of the networks.
I'd like to setup a VPN between these networks and of coarse a free
package would be nice : ) . Needs to run on kernel 2.2 486 - Pent 120,
and a common package for support resource issues would be a plus. Does
anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks for your time,
Chris
