Subject: PPP won't compress - regardless of options...
Date: Tue, 29 Jun 1999 21:38:11 -0400
I'm trying to establish a connection between two machines, one running pppd
2.3.5 and the other 2.3.7, and regardless of my using "bsdcomp x,x" and
"deflate x,x" options (or both simultaneously), pppstats (and /proc/net/dev)
report that I'm getting zero compression.
I've properly aliased ppp-compress-21,24, and 26, and lsmod reports that
both ppp_deflate and bsd_comp are loaded and used by 1 process... yet
there's not active compression taking place!!!
What am I missing?
Thanks,
Eric

Hi,
Correct me if I'm wrong, but.... I don't think it can be done.
Swap is not a file system. I haven't tried it recently, but I'm pretty
darn sure that fsck would choke on a swap partition.
And if it's not a file system, NFS can't deal with it.

Yes, that's correct. You can do ipfwadm -I -l to list all incoming traffic

You can't ping through wingate in Win98 either. The only way is to use the
Wingate client (which doesn't exist for Linux). That's never worked for me
though. To telnet out, you have to telnet to the wingate box and then type
in the domain/ip of your destination. FTP is similar. Check your
documentation.

How about if we just ask the programmer to use some common sense
and call the non-const version of the function
void
getSomethingsValue(T& x) ?
Then if you see
getSomethingsValue(x);
in a function definition, it is pretty obvious that it is not being
called to return a value, and the function name is a very strong
hint that it is not being called to set another value.

Banners that appear AFTER the print job are added by the printer. Banners

Are you using lpd to print to the printer from Linux, and some other protocol
from NT? If so, then the printer likely has banner printing enabled on the
lpd protocol.

I already tried every setting I can thing of, even with
rsize=128,wsize=128.
Also, slow performance is not my worry (yet), first I'm just trying to
get it to work at all. But whatever I try, a write on the NFS server
hangs after several kilobytes.
Someone mentioned it might be a full-duplex problem w.r.t. the
ethernet card (Thunderlan 100TX), but OTOH FTP transfers from the
Linux client to the 10MB/s segment work fine. Anyway I'll give it a
try to set it to half-duplex.

So what? Your modem compresses. You do not need ppp to compress. Just
make sure that your modem to computer speed is high enough (115200) and
you should notice only minimal gains from ppp compression.

this is kind of 'generic' since i don't know ANYthing about your isp
etc...
there are some kind of 'wizards' to help you set up your ppp-connection,
i got to using kppp myself.
i remember there was tool on sun.edu, called pppconfig or something (
hunt the newsgroup)
you CAN write some scripts though yourself, like ppp-up and ppp-down,
plus some cf files in /etc/ppp ( like pap-secret and so on)
you will need to have a lot of information about your isp, among the
most urgent is ,what authentication do they use- pap or chap or what...
and of course ( but you know that) read the ppp-howto

Hi Albert,
Does one really need the Ethernet Bridge? It's pretty pricey. I
figure, what's the real difference between using a Modem and a Cable
Modem? Why would one need an Ethernet Bridge if one is using a Cable
Modem? An Ethernet Hub perhaps, but why the bridge?
Thanks a bunch...

hi guys,
someone pointed it out already, i'm just a repeater:
( let me tell you, it worked for me!!)
if the page comes AFTER the printjob, this is from the printer(box,
maybe) NOT from the spooler!!!
so telnet to your printer(box) and look at the configuration.
btw, what puzzled me, the same printer did NOT print any extra pages
when printing from winnt.

Do you have the prices on RadioLan's solutions? Their website does
not list any prices. Thanks

Have you tried killing it and then running it again?
(/usr/sbin/dhcpd).

Subject: nic driver settings

I have a pro120b ethernet card that linux rh5.2 refuses to recognize. I
am going to try a newer version of the tulip driver, but I'm wondering
if the i/o setting may also be wrong. Windoze98 lists the i/o as 6100,
which doesn't look like any of the examples that I have seen.
How would I go about getting the proper setting?
Thanks,
Scott

Same thing happens from the windows to the linux.

> >suggestions??
first thing to check, afaik, is if telnet is enabled on the linux-box (
hosts.allow)
you can check by doing a telnet(linuxbox) on a console(xterm) of the
linuxbox.
if you get something like'connection refused by peer' read man
hosts.allow

Subject: Network Card Won't Start on Bootup!!
Date: Wed, 30 Jun 1999 06:11:07 GMT
Well after about 2 gallons of coffee, 2 temper tantrums and a loss of
hair I *FINALLY* managed to upgrade to 6.0 and get EVERYTHING TO
WORK!!!! *BUT*
It seems that my 2nd network card doesn't want to load automatically ..
I need to go into linuxconf and tell it to 'activate changes' and then
it loads JUST FINE, and my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file (which has all my
ipchains command) won't self-load (might be a problem that it won't load
because it cannot find eth1 ..), I need to type :
source = rc.local
to get the blasted thing to work! .. which it does JUST FINE
Indeed the "Active at boot" is selected (my eth0 boots just fine), and
the card works when I tell it to boot manually!!
HELP ME! .. OBI-WAN you are my only hope! =)
Thanks folks, and PLEASE email me directly on this!
Cheers
Richard
