I have two computer both running Red Hat Linux 6.0. I am running a cable
(just a little bigger than a phone line, RJ45 i think?) between the two
computers. The network cards are detected by both computers in both Linux
and windows.
Here is my ifconfig:

Subject: Cannot open dhcpd.conf
Date: Tue, 22 Jun 1999 00:32:55 -0300
I reinstalled rh 6.0 today, and during the reboot, I got a message
"cannot find /etc/dhcpd.conf". The line prior to this loads the driver
for my NIC (3Com 509b) correctly, but no dhcp.
I installed rh 5.1 back on the PC, and I got the same result.
I ran linuxconf and removed the NIC and reinstalled the driver and
module, but no luck.
I even went so far as to reinstall Windoze, and my adsl connection works
fine, but I want my linux back
My hunch is that the install isn't creating the dhcp.conf file, for
whatever reason.
Has anybody seen this before?
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Hello all,
I'm trying to set up pppd to do demand dialing, and keep running
into the message that version 2.2.0 of the kernel driver does not support
demand dialing. I have upgraded to the latest ppp deamon (2.3.8-1), and I
still get the same message. I am running Redhat 5.1, Kernel 2.0.36. What am
I missing? I am fairly new to linux, so I am usually missing something.
Thanks.

As I'm trying to figure out what to upgrade in order to get a new
kernel, I've often been told that I need to upgrade net-tools. What I
want to know is what is it all about, what is it used for? I tried to
run it by typing make make config, make, make install and all it did was
mess up my network. Now, ifconfig doesn't work and my network cards
don't respond to my pings from a win98 box. I also noticed it makes a
net/ directory in whatever directory I install it in. Should this go in
the /usr/src/linux/net directory or should it go in the
/usr/src/linux/drivers/net directory? Any help on clarifying this issue
would greatly be appreciated.

Hello,
I have a problem with my linux box sending and receiving mail.
Our mail server is Red Hat 5.0 Kernel 2.032 with the PC's running
Netscape 4.5. When I send mail from one desktop to another the sendmail
daemon never actually puts the message in the recipients mailbox. The
syslog says that it IS doing this. There was no configuration changes
made anywhere.
Does anyone have any suggestions on this problem?
Thanks, Dan

Yes that works, just be careful about how the redirected socket deals

Date: Tue, 22 Jun 1999 04:20:24 GMT
Have a look at the PPP HOWTO. In RedHat it's in /usr/doc/HOWTO. This
will describe the basic setup. It goes something like this: The Windoze
boxes are set to gateway to the Linux box. The Linux box has an interface
on the Win subnet. The ppp script drops a gateway and default route into
the routing table when the link comes up. Make sure that the kernel is
compiled with IP forwarding enabled. I think you also need a "dummy"
interface too. That's all in the configure script for compiling a new
kernel.
As for the dial-on-demand part, I think you need the diald daemon. Have
you searched the Linux web site, www.linux.org?
