I had hard time with 3Com 10/100 PCMCIA card. It worked great under
Windows but Linux kept dropping the card from time to time. Switch to
DLink DFE-650 (I think) and the problem went away.

Might it be that NFS on the Linux system uses UDP only, and that
your client is on a 100 Mbps connection, while the server is on
a 10 Mbps connection? (Or perhaps on a saturated 100 Mbps connection)
I would run snoop/tcpdump on both machines to make sure that all
packets from one machine gets to the other. It might be that the
switch is tossing away packets when it gets overwhelmed.
You might also try adjusting your write/read block size down to
smaller chunks -- say 1024 bytes.

I find that the 3com Etherlink cards, work fine with Linux. Both ISA and PCI.
This is good advice to turn the P'n'P off on a dos machine first....
I currently have my RH5.1 machine connected via a 3com etherlink NIC to an alcatel
ADSL modem, and it screams !

Date: Wed, 23 Jun 1999 22:35:03 GMT
I have 2.2.10 box on a network with a winnt4.0 ws sp5 box which has a
printer attached. Printttool sets up the printer under SAMBA. Both the ASCII
and ps test under printtool work fine. The printer is lp.
When I print under netscape, I get about 1/3 to 1/2 a page and then it
stops. I can print fine from gEdit and gnotepad.
Any help appreciated.

In theory, one should be able to get a similar effect by using a
single ethernet card and IP aliasing. The DSL modem I've got blocks
all traffic that isn't to or from a specific hardware ethernet
address, so it's safe to just plug it into the uplink port on my hub.
Doing this, I have no problem using IPX on my local net and IP over
DSL for example.
I can't quite get it to work, though. It looks like the IP aliasing
and masquerading are interacting in strange ways I can't quite
resolve. Is there any FAQ or HOWTO that discusses a complex setup
like this?
(I will probably break down and add a $10 ethernet card to solve
this. That feels cleaner anyway. I still want to understand what's
happening, though.)

I am migrating websites from an NT IIS server to a Linux Apache server. How
can I change the default document from index.html to something like home.htm
or default.htm. I need to do this on a vhost by vhost basis, as you can with
IIS 4.0, or else all the sites will have to be edited.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Subject: Default Routing...
Date: Wed, 23 Jun 1999 16:52:28 -0500
Hello All,
I have configured my machine with PPP and a dummy ethernet connection. I
have to disable the ethernet connection in order to properly run PPP. I
understand that this is a routing problem (perhaps my default route is on my
ethernet) and I don't know how to fix this.
I probably want to set no default route to my ethernet. I'm running RHL
6.0. Can anyone advise me on the proper commands or procedures to do this?
Thanks much,
R. Alcazar

I have no experience with this (yet), but you may want to look into
dial-on-demand. This will supposedly allow other computers on your
network to initiate a connection to your ISP. As soon as I get my
network setup, I am going to try this.

Date: Wed, 23 Jun 1999 13:19:50 -0500
I am starting to really pull my hair out on this one...
I have my system set up with Red Hat Linux 6.0, I have sendmail installed,
configured, and mostly functional. I am trying to set up the mail server so
I can get to it from windows 95 mail clients, even across the internet, but
I get server timeouts, even when I am on the LAN with the machine. I have a
working domain and DNS services provided, MX hosts file fine (as far as I
know). It was a pretty standard RH6 install, and I installed the mail
services, etc.
I have uncommented the pop3, pop2, and IMAP lines in Inetd.conf, I can send
and recieve internet mail by telnetting into the box and using elm or pine,
but I cannot use an external (ie Win95, or anything else not on the linux
box) pop3 mail client.
I have a feeling I am missing something basic, but I am not sure what. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: Re: samba routing
Date: Thu, 24 Jun 1999 00:57:07 +0200
it is routed, because SMB is an IP Protocol using ports 135:139. But SMB has
another name service. You have to configurate the linux server as domain
master by adding to smb.conf
domain master = yes
wins server = yes
wins proxy = yes
then you have to add to the lmhosts
192.168.1.3 "domain.........\0x1b" #PRE
domain must be replaced with the domain name and the points with spaces. The
domain name begins with the name and ends with the char 1B. That are 16
characters in this case:
domain six characters
spaces nine
1b one
=============
16
You must be very carefully there. The trick is that the ppp client must know
the domain master browser on the other side which has this strange name as
Netbios register.

Well, first: sendmail isn't involved with this problem It's your pop3
server. You can use the IMAP server as well but it is much more
complicated to set up.
Second: try telnetting into the mail server on port 110 (the pop3
port). If it won't let you just put in your /etc/hosts.allow file
(for now)
ALL: ALL
Make sure your /etc/hosts.deny is empty (***and you must secure your
box later***).
Then do
$telnet hostname 110
Type
USER username (server should acknowledge)
PASS password (server should acknowledge)
Note that crappy M$ telnet clients will not echo what you are typing
The errors should give you some clue! If you are at the servers
console you can do the same thing by typing 'telnet localhost 110'
