Subject: pump and caching nameserver
Date: Mon, 28 Jun 1999 02:12:14 GMT
I have a redhat 6 box connected to the internet via adsl
the adsl interface needs dhcp.
ifup or something spawned by ifup overwrites my resolv.conf
I had a look through ifup and the commented out the only thing that I could
see that would overwrite
resolv.conf
Then i did ifdown eth0 and ifup eth0
resolve.conf is overwritten again!
The overall goal is to have a nice caching nameserver that forwards to by
isp's dns.
Please help.

Subject: TCP-IP on Macs and Windows vs. Linux, why faster? Fix?
Date: 27 Jun 1999 18:35:17 -0700
I have two computers, a Power macintosh that is running Open Transport 1.3
and a 400Mhz Celeron that has Windows 98 and RedHat Linux 6.0 loaded on it.
Naturally, I prefer Linux.
About a month ago I got DSL. I've been getting *phenomenal* transfer rates on
the Mac from the very beginning. The Windows box I used a tiny "regedit" patch
on and now I am getting the same performance..
How can I improve the Celeron's TCP-IP performance
when it is running Linux to get the speed
the same computer and network card get when I boot them into Windows?
(the transfer rates are as much as 30-50% better)
Is there a setting I can change, something that wont screw anything up.
I am sure that people do this all of the time, but I havnt seen anything
about it.
Thank you!

hi !
my home network is configured that way :
ethernet realtek 8029 and RJ45 with 5 ports HUB
atome 192.168.1.1
poussin 192.168.1.2
no gateway
ifconfig, netstat give normal results.
NFS are working fine between my two stations.
When i connect to Internet and want to start to use my favoriet brower
(netscape 4.08 Linux) i don't have any answer from any server.
Proxys are configured correctly in netscape. Mail servers too (they work
fine)
Is it possible that there's a conflict of IP between my network and
Internet proxy server ?
Is it my provider who's got a server crash or something like that ?
thanx !

Wvdial works great. I use it on my SuSE 6.0 webserver. Whenever I get
disconnected wvdial will redial. I tried messing with the ppp-up, ppp-down
with no success. I eventually said screw it and started using wvdial.

Umm, actually Sympatico HSE (the serviced mentioned), the ADSL service
of the Sympaticoarm of Bell Canada, specifically states in their FAQ
that:
"The 1-Meg Modem is designed to plug into a Network Interface Card
(NIC). If you want to have your Sympatico High Speed Edition
connection accessible by all computers on your internal network, it is
recommended that you obtain a second NIC card for one computer and
have it act as a gateway server and route all high speed traffic
through that machine. The Sympatico High Speed Edition service will
not support or guarantee service for any LAN configurations. "
Sounds like approval to me...

Sorry to have not replied in a while - just spent a week cleaning up
the backout of a bad install at work.
Anyway, my Linux box is primarily an NT box (don't ask) and my
installation of new drivers for my UMAX 610S scanner just really
fried the NT installation - it blue screens every time I boot. A hard
reset and all is well.
Since it is time to re-install NT, I will also be scratching and
reinstalling linux to a better set of partitions. When I do, I will
take all this advice and put it to good use. Thank you all.
<editorial>
It saddens me to think that on the same box with the same hardware,
NT is going to connect to my ISP with no problems and Linux is going
to send me debugging.
I understand about Open Source vs. Mega Resources. But, it seems
to me that by this time SOMEBODY would have written a PPP
wizard that can read the byte stream and figure out what the prompts
are without having to enter specific strings for a chatscript.
(note - have not yet opened ez-ppp.tar.gz on my disk. Advance
info sounds promissing.)
Maybe the wizards that got the printing setup (in Red Hat 6.0)
to finally be a zero pain exercise could move over to the PPP side.
We can't make Bill sleepless at night like this.
Thanks

in practice, C++ gives you more opportunities for it to happen to

what do you mean by garbage collection? reference counting? how
would you do generational garbage collection of heap memory in C++?
how do you consolidate a fragmented heap? you could have pointers to
anything within in. in ugly code these pointers can be stored in
non-traditional places such ints.

it is a language problem since C++ cannot do generational garbage
collection.

I am trying to set up a 10BaseT peer to peer network of 2 linux computers
(want to eventually add 1 win9x computer later). I can't find any
documentation on setting up this kind of thing. The Networking overview, the
NET-3 HOWTO, and the RH6.0 install guide all seem to have either bad
instructions or they don't work. Anyways, I've been up all night 2 days in a
row, and I need this network to happen. I am using 2 PCI ne2000 based cards
if that is important, but I think software configuration is my problem. My
error is "cant find route to remote host" or something like that when I try
to telnet to the other computer using ip addresses that I set up. If anyone
can help, Email me...

generic functions as part of CLOS cannot guarentee that new methods
will not be added. however, if at calling you are passing variables
with declared types, then the specific method can be deduced at
compile-time. i am not very familiar with CLOS and how well this is
optimized is dependent upon your lisp implementation.

in this instance, + isn't a generic and cannot be overloaded.
overloading isn't such a big deal since many times a function like +
is passed as an arg. for example if you have a mat:+ to add matrices,
you can do
(apply #'+ list-of-numbers)
or
(apply #'mat:+ matrix-list)
depending on the type. if it's tedious to write and sort out the
variants, you can always write a macro.

Steve,
Yeah, I'm not sure how that slipped my mind. I'm using a cross-over cable to connect
the computers. I'm farily new to all these networking terminology--what is 100baseTX,
10baseT, 10base2,etc? Do these options specify the type of cabling used?
Nevertheless, I followed
your suggestion and changed the adapter port on the 905 card to 10baseT (with 'insmod
3c59x options=0' )

This doesn't follow and so seems flawed. Ok, for whatever reason, you
don't like or understand or need (whichever applies) C++. However,
with your reasoning, doing the typedef would not be compelling either.
So why wouldn't you just use struct and not typedef? For that matter,
why not just code in binary?

You're setting up straw men. Quick, what will x's value be after the
call to some_other_function?
some_other_function(&x);
So you're wrong. Yep, clearly the C-style use the &, but you do not know
the answer and you do have to look further.

Very little is achieved by your putting blank lines between the paragraphs

are conflicting themselves.

I can only conclude from your post that you really don't know much
about C++. At the least, you certainly have not chosen your technical
facts wisely, over and over again.

Tobias,
Ok I was a little harsh...my apologies. But I read a lot of things around
with people saying how great Beowulf is (which it is for very specific
uses) and I think it detracts attention from the need for true High
Availability clustering for Linux. That is where the other Un*xes are
killing the linux community in the server room. Linux has to gain that
functionality to move up to enterprise level OS level, where I think it has
a chance to go...I'd much rather do something in Linux than Solaris, for
example.
