I'va had a similar problem, i have a slackware box that would act really
strange
after 15-20 minutes. You would be able to log in remotely,but after 15 minutes you
would not be able to do anything,i would get "no route to host" . At first i
wasn't quite
sure what it was,but i've come to discover a flaky network card .
Swap NIC's and see if it still does it .

I would have to agree with Mr taylor on this one. The stories I've heard, some first
hand from German POW's in the US, friends of my Granddad who was a Latvian pressed
into German service, all said they were treated well and some even remained friends
with their jailers.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I had printing just working fine, from my Linux RH6 PC to a Win95B PC on my
home LAN. Then I upgraded the PC to Win98, and I get can't remote printing to
work. I have been able to print to the Win98 PC using a laptop on the
network running Win98 also, but that doesn't help much. I have used the
registry patch from Samba to enable plain passwords on 98; that didn't help.
I could really use some help here, I am fresh out of ideas.
I can ping the Win98 PC just fine, and am in fact using Samba to share files
between them sucessfully.
My network uses my Linux PC with IP Masq, going to a 100MB router with the
Win98PC & etc off of that.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Recently I had to use Linux IP Firewall...
The idea was to count the traffic of a number of connections
from a
locxal network to Internet.
I tried to put a couple of Forward/Incoming/Outgoing accept
rules, and
use the /proc/net/ip_* files to count the traffic.
The result was, that I saw flaws in the traffic counting.
A 1.9Mb FTP link was counted to be just 35Kb.
My question is:
Am I doing something wrong, or there is something, that I'm
missing.
Sincerely yours: Sijaiko.

Im running a cable modem through @home
IP numbers assigned through DHCP
cable modem connects to hub, which connects to 1 linux box and 1 win98 box,
both boxes using a DEC 21143 10/100 nic card
unfortunately, the subnets are totally different, so I need to use IPX to
connect the two boxes.
this opens up a WHOLE new can of worms.
can anyone help me set up this network??
the linux box only has 2GB on it, but the win98 box has 18GB, so I want to
serve my web material off the win98 drive via samba. hence, before that can
happen, these two have to see each other.
THANKS ALL!!

The most likely cause of the "page contains no data" error is a
transparent proxy between your remote site and your server that is
refusing to fetch the page. It could be something as innocent as a
misconfigured squid, or something as malevolent as an ISP firewall that
intentionally blocks access to private servers.

FWIW, the version of "pump" that came with RH6.0 had a bug that caused
all kinds of strange network problems. RH6.0 uses "pump" instead of
DHCP or BOOTP. A newer version is available at RedHat's errata page.

Subject: SMP - winNT&Linux
Date: Wed, 30 Jun 1999 18:49:41 -0700
I have an opprotunity to utilize a 4 processor
pentium and have been tasked to illustrate
the advantages of Linux vs WinNT. I
have seen recent test results (apparently
not MS influenced - to a great degree) that
have NT's symmetric multi processing at
an advantage 2 or 3 to 1 over Linux. With
NTFS formatted partitiions and other settings
specific to the NT OS, there's apparently
a decided advantage. I am a devoted Linux
supporter for some time (0.11...) and REALLY
want to impress the status-quo (can anyone
say "military"), as to the advantages of our
favorite OS. I have implemented Linux in
specialized applications, such as udp/mcast
filtering but have no experience in the SMP
field. Any help appreciated! Please reply via
email or toss out the REMOVE in the posted
address...i'm at coyote@ ridgecrest.ca.us,
have fun, and prove the impossible!

Jim:
I am in the *very* early planning stages of doing something similar. I
have a LAN at my office, composed mostly of Win95/98 machines. I have a
cable modem hooked up to my Linux box, and want to use that to retrieve
the e-mail from the ISP, then act as a mail server for the rest of the
LAN.
I have seen several "add-on" mail client and server programs listed,
such as Balsa and Fetchmail. I have not tried any of them, and don't
really know what I am doing (yet).
Would any of those programs be helpful for you?

Just a follow up....... above, it should be pts/X.
All you need to do is comment out the last line in /etc/fstab
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0622 0 0
and add ttyp0, ttyp1, etc..... to the /etc/securetty file, then you should
be able to telnet in as root. But remember, this is not secure. You should
really go with something like ssh.

Subject: RH6.0/NFS:permission denied. (Holy mackerel, dere, Andy! We OWNS de machine!)
Date: Wed, 30 Jun 1999 19:00:45 -0700
Brothers!
Trying to install 6.0 RH from a RH6.0 machine over a lan (two machines).
I'm exporting /mnt/cdrom to 192.168.1.1 they connect and permission is
denied. I see I'm not the only fella having this problem, but as of this
writing,
I see no solutions. Anybody get an NFS install to work with Redhat 6.0
(they
changed a bunch of stuff, you know) over a 10mbps lan?
Is NIS required to make this work? (I hope not!!!)
Any assistance greatly appreciated.
regards,
blortz
