well,
i'm still stumped. i installed 7.5.3 and set up tcp/ip in control panels;
when i try to ping the name or ip of the mac machine from the linux box, ping
will just hang. i can ping everything else.
the mac i have is a performa 631 cd. i bought an older nic card w/ rj 45.
the nic card is an LC slot card.
i was told that the system software will take care of the nic. i was
wondering if there might be specific drivers for the card that i could load on
the mac, that way making sure the software for the card is installed.

Subject: Setting up several ISP for PPP connections
Date: Tue, 22 Jun 1999 13:59:36 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I am using SuSE 6.0 with updated Kernel 2.2.5 here.
My questions relates the problem that when setting up a ppp connection
to an Internet Service Provider, the IP address of its DNS server
should be entered in the file /etc/rc.config. So when connecting to
the ISP, usually the new connection over ppp is set as defaultroute
and all name resolutions use the IP addresses given in /etc/rc.config.
Now if I am able to connect to different ISPs I have to put the
corresponding IP address of their DNS-Server in this file
/etc/rc.config. But since only three addresses at most can be entered
there, I guess that I can not set up a ppp connection to more than 3
ISPs. Of course, one can edit /etc/rc.config before dialing, but this
is an inconvinience.
I bet that there is someway to achieve setting up more than 3 ISPs and
even overcome the necessity of putting their IP-addresses of their DNS
servers there, since using Windows, one can do this without taking
care of that and it works. (Bear in mind that even just one ISP has
possibly several DNS servers, because not all of them are on duty all
the time, and one would enter all this IP addresses in the
/etc/rc.config).
Does anyone know a way of overcoming this limitation?
If you are not using Suse, how does your distribution handle DNS
servers if your provider and in which configuration files and they
entered?

I have got redhat 6.0 running on an i686 [chekov] and want to get nfs
server working.
I have managed to mount an nfs drive on another machine from chekov,
but I cannot mount a drive from chekov externally.
Apache, telnet and ftp all work (in both directions)
During bootup, things seem ok - portmap loads, pcnfs, mountd ....
I have set up an exports file (I think correctly)
rpcinfo -p gives info on
rpcbind, rquatad, mountd, pcnfsd, rstatd. nfs appears but with
udp and not tcp (and a reference to portmap doesn't appear)
rpm -qa |grep nfs gives
pcnfsd-2.01sh-6shadow
knfsd-clients-1.2.2-4
knfsd-1.2.2-4
Would appreciate guidance
Eventually I wish the machine to run over tcp/ip and boot up
a set of network computers

the easyest way from redhat 5.2 is through X. Fire up your X windows with
startx, in linuxconf configure your ppp/slip to a new ppp connection, fill in
the phone no, username, password, choose PAP authentification. Once you did
that, you should get out of X and reboot. Maybe there are other ways without
reboot,
init "something", just I do not know what is the something. After reboot, get
back to X and click on your menu -> networking -> Usernet and click on "ppp0"
if you configured this connection as ppp0 in Linuxconf. This has to start to
dial you ISP.Sure I suppouse, you have a modem installed, and it is not a
Winmodem...
Any more questions, E-mail me.

I found that if you have an established account for steve you won't be able
to create an alias for him in the /var/qmail/alias directory.
What I ended up doing is editing the ~steve/.qmail file. This file should
have one line in it that will either say ./Maildir/ or ./mbox/ or something
to that effect. All you have to do is remove that line so the messages no
longer go to those directories. Then add a line specifying the email
address you want to forward to.
Example: Forwarding [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Edit ~steve/.qmail file to contain the following line
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
That should do the trick. Good luck to you.

Windoughs expects a modem to be attached to the other end of the serial
port. I looked into this myself before I broke down and bought a
network-in-a-box. You have a couple of options open to you.
Option 1.
There is a protocol that Windoughs calls "Direct Cable Connection". You
should find that in your Win menus. This is not PPP and if you go this
route, you will need to re-compile support for that protocol into the Linux
kernel.
Option 2.
Find the configuration file for your modem in Windoughs. I found it once
upon a time on my Wintendo, but I can't, for the life of me, remember where.
Try using "find" to look for a file containing your modem's name. When you
find this file you may be able to tweak it so that it doesn't insist on
dialing, but then again you may not be able to. Good luck, you'll need it.
Option 3.
On the Linux side, make a program or script that behaves like a modem would.
Easier said than done, but also easier than option 2.
Option 4.
This might seem obvious, but you could get a modem.

I don't know how to solve your specific problem, but I'd recommend just
not to do that. For one, I really can't see why you'd want the mqueue
to be accessed via NFS. And for the spool, it's better to export it via NFS
from the mail-server than to import it to the mail-server.
Especially since you can then easily switch to another access method like POP
or IMAP which doesn't suffer from the same problems that plague NFS
(mostly locking, which is either absent (leading to corrupted mailboxes
or lost email) or slow and buggy in most other cases).

Isn't this a red herring in any case? How many web servers are flooding
their 100BaseT NICs? And if they are, why not work on 1000BaseT?
Multiple NICs were important with 10BaseT LANs, but most of the
interesting work nowadays is in the app server space. In that space, CPU
and disk are much more likely to be gating factors than NICs are.

You just uttered the standard "sun-vs-intel" retort, in knee-jerk fashion,
without reading what I wrote.
I specifically said CPU constrained tasks. and disqualified floating point,
which sensible people know sparc has an edge on.
If you have something that is CPU based, it will pretty much sit in memory,
and stay in L2 cache. So, reliability of disks, etc, etc, etc do not come into
play. In which case, a 500mhz intel box is faster than an ultra, and just
as reliable.
Still assuming the constraints above, a simple 1cpu vs 1cpu box, will have
intel way in front, for price vs cpu I'm not sure how well the scaling will
affect things, but a four=way 500mhz pentium box will be a lot cheaper than a
4-way ultra box, and equivalent or better integer performance.
some price points:
http://www.gateway.com/prod/sb_e5250550xl_prodinfo.shtml
a 2-way Xeon 550 mhz computer, for $6499, NO DISCOUNT
a 4-way Xeon 550mhz computer, $10,800 [512k L2 cache]
a 4-way Xeon 550mhz computer, $17,700 [1-meg L2 cache]
a 4-way Xeon 550mhz computer, $28,400 [2-meg L2 cache]
compare to sun's cheapest 4-way box, an E450:
4-way 250mhz E450, $20,900 list price [1-meg L2 cache]
4-way 300mhz E450, $30,000 list price [2-meg L2 cache]
4-way 300mhz E450, $36,500 list price [4-meg L2 cache]
The 250mhz isn't particularly competative when it comes to CPU power.
I'd like to see some integer comparisons between the best xeon box, and the
best E450 box. But good luck trying to get a hold of 4x400mhz ultra-cpus right
now.
I HATE this. I much prefer sun boxes. But you'll certainly pay the premium for
them.

I get this message at boot up ever since I changed my computers name in
linuxconf
Executing: //etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S85httpd start
* httpd: cannot determine local host name.
* Use the ServerName directive to set it manually
> Starting httpd: httpd
How do I fix this?

How are you ftp'ing?
Have you tried opening an MS-Dos prompt and
ftp'ing at the Windows prompt to the ip address of
one of the linux boxes (c:\windows>ftp #.#.#.#).
This works for me. I found I had to switch the IP
address from dynamic to static on the win98 box
and keep it in the same domain and subnet mask as
the linux boxes. I don't know how this will effect
your gateway though (which is something I will be
attempting to set up here soon.)
Now, maybe you can help me with something.
I am trying to ftp TO the win98 box from the linux
boxes. Any suggestions? I had it working fine on
'95 w/ onnet's '93 version of ftpsrv. '98 doesn't
seem to offer any type of mode of ftp to listen or
act as host and of coarse the '93 dos version
doesn't run on '98. Ideally I just skip the
ftp'ing at a dos-prompt and have them networked in
a real fashion. Any suggestions there? What are
you using for your gateway? And how do you
transfer from the linux boxes to the win98 box?
Hope MY advice was helpful to you. I listed a
little more help below.

ftp has an address conflict w/ the dial-up and
the dial-up apparently over-rides since it's
98 driven. Or maybe you don't have a protocol
set up for it. If you go into network properties
there should be 2 tcp/ip protocols set up. One
for your dial-up adapter and one for your lan
card. If there are 2 then try changing the one
for the lan card to be static by going into
properties.

I just got a used V2 to go with my TNT card. I've always played Quake 3
Test in windows and got a ping around 165-195. When I played it with my
V2 in linux I got a ping around 300-350!! I am using a Diamond
SupraExpress 56e (external). What position does the mtu & mru values in
the /etc/ppp/options file do? I believe they were both set at 550 or
something like that. If I increase/decrease them will that speed it up
at all? And is there any other way to speed it up?

1) edit /etc/inetd.conf
add a '#' at the beginning of the line for each service you don't need
2) kill -HUP <pid>
,where <pid> is that of inetd process, found as follows:
# ps -ef | grep inetd

I cannot FTP from Windows to Linux through the LAN (ethernet). But I am able
to connect to the Apache server through Explorer.
How is FTP server started on Linux? And how can I reach it?

There's another program called (IIRC) MasqDialier which has a Windows
client allowing your users to bring the link up on demand.
