Subject: Using linuxconf to set up a LAN...
Date: Thu, 01 Jul 1999 19:32:44 GMT
My eth0 device was working before I decided to tweak it with
linuxconf. Now, on bootup, the kernel no longer detects it, and I get
this message:
Finding module dependencies
conf:4: missing module argument.
I also get a bunch of errors dealing with other network services.
I have tried reverting to the original settings in linuxconf, but that
doesn't help.
The Linux kernel is Linux-Mandrake, version 2.2.x. I'm trying to
setup two computers, one which is running Linux (server) and the other
one is running Windows 98 (client). Here are the settings:
[Linux Server]
I.P. Address: 192.168.0.1
Host: 192-168-0-1
Domain: .192-168-0-1
[Windows 98 Client]
I.P. Address: 192.168.0.3
Host: 192-168-0-3
Domain: .192-168-0-1
I have neither routing nor DNS services enabled.
The connection is RJ-45 crossover cable. It works when both machines
are running Windows 98, but I can't seem to ping any one of the two
machines when it is a Linux-Windows 98 configuration. At this point,
I'm not concerned with running Samba and getting the Linux machine to
appear as an icon under Windows 98's Network Neighborhood.
Thanks.
Regards,
Benson
P.S. I'm new to the world of Linux.

Subject: Token Ring Errors
Date: Thu, 01 Jul 1999 19:41:56 GMT
I have been running a linux box on a token ring network for some time
now and I have been getting these same two messages all the time. They
don't appear to be the result of any big problem, i have no network
problems.
the error i keep getting is:
tr0: xmit ret_code:23 xmit error
the other which isn't an error( i think ) is:
tr0: New ring status: 20
If anyone knows what these mean and if there a problem i would
appreciate any information.
also I'm running kernel 2.0.34, does the latest kernel offer better TR
support or bug fixes?
thanks
Paul

Works well with netmeeting and pcanywhere.

You probably have a stray copy of Netscape running. www.zdnet.com has
advertising links to www.x10.com. They also have a big java program running
on that page, so it is probably giving them periodic updates so that they
can tell if you're still looking at the page. I'd hunt down and kill the
offending Netscape process.

You use the same command (ifconfig/route). Just use the syntax of :x

I remember in some Stevens book (must be one of APUE or UNP1)
it mentions this as a common pitfall. It said the file descriptor
sets are.... "value-return", "value-result", "reset-value" ....??
something like that, and it implied that they're reset each time.
I remember he also said he spent a couple hours debugging a problem
caused by not adding one to the number of file descriptors.
(I like anecdotes like that in a book; it helps me to remember.
I'm reading Abrash's big black graphics programming bible right
now, and I love it for all the anecdotes.)
But <sigh> I don't feel like looking it up right now.

Always had an itch to see how good you really were at this networking
stuff?
Well, here's your chance to finally test your mettle. This problem has
stumped everyone I know and they have all been forced to relinquish
their
crowns. So, it's up for grabs... anyone who helps me solve this
problem,
wins all bragging rights AND the vaunted no-prize! So what is this
problem?
Briefly, I just installed Redhat 6.0/WinNT dualboot and I have IP
aliasing
enabled according to the scheme below (primary interface has a real IP;
first alias has a real IP; 2nd alias has a fake IP). So the problem is
that
the IP aliasing seems to timeout after a while under RedHat. I'm using
a
Linksys Etherfast (with the latest tulip driver) and the aliases work
fine
under Windoze NT. However, after about 40 minutes, none of the aliases
are
pingable under redhat. The primary interface stays functional
throughout
but the aliases all seem to timeout. A reboot or poweroff doesn't
change
this. The only thing that seems to help is to remove all the aliases
AND
the primary interface and then reenter the primary and aliases again.
It
then works again for about 40 minutes, after which time the aliases time
out
once again (but the primary interface continues to work). I've tried
using
both ifconfig and the netcfg from the control-panel to no avail.
So there you have it... if you can help solve this not only will you
have my
eternal undying gratitude; not only will you be able to wear the Linux
Guru
Crown with pride; but you'll also be the winner of the one and only
no-prize

opportunity
empire; local sales tax may apply).
Thanks in advance!

If you register a domain you must have the IP address. Afaik you can
get those only from whoever you get the connection from (in your case
Pacific Bell). So far you have only one IP address, which means you
must use the reserved ranges (like 172.16.*.*) for your private network,
and masquerading for your outgoing connections. You can put all the
servers on your gateway machinem or (if that is not feasible) redirect
some services to other machines.

Yes, it is possible. The feasibility depends on the load.

Hello.
I'm wondering what you mean by "rigorous engineering". I ask because,
although this term sounds important, still I've never seen anything done
in C++ that could not be done in any other programming language I'm
familiar with. There is something called Turing completeness, and any
language that possesses this property is no more or less powerful than
any other. C++ is Turing complete. So are C, Pascal, Perl, Postscript
(IIRC), Python, Scheme, LISP, ML, Java, .....
It strikes me that typing is a matter of preference. Some people prefer
the typing provided by C and C++. Others prefer languages such as Perl,
Python, or Scheme, which are untyped.
Another issue that (I don't believe) has been addressed in this thread
is safety (ie memory protection, type safety for typed languages, among
other things). Nothing prevents me from casting a char * as struct foo *
in C++ or vice versa. While the compiler may issue a warning, it is
legal syntactically and semantically in C++. And this could mean bad
things, depending on the case.
This would not be allowed in a safe languages.
bye then,
Algis R

Oh, it is ad hoc, every bit as ad hoc as the process by which

Wouldn't it be even nicer in a language that was designed to
allow you to express such things, rather than a kludge like
C++?

Date: Thu, 01 Jul 1999 21:10:48 GMT
I've got a Linux 2.2.9 kernel running on a P166 with 64MB of ram. I
have a bunch of SCSI CD-ROM drives hooked up to it (it has a specially
designed chassy) and some 3940Us. Samba version 2.0.3-8 installed from
RPM (RedHat 6). It runs great for almost everything I've tried so far.
However, I got my Microsoft Office2000 CDs today (there are two of them)
and put them into a couple of cd drives. I can browse the drives just
fine, and read all of the files from them. When I try to run office
setup, I get an "Internal Error 2721: Please contact product support for
assistance." And then I get "Installation ended prematurely because of
an error." I've got the the office web site, and gone through their
trouble shooters, and it doesn't give me anything that works. When I
mount the exact same cd on an NT server, the install doesn't crash! Any
advice? I'll post the relavent parts of my smb.conf at the bottom.
Thanks!

You stated you tried messing with the perl to get rid of

Has anyone succeeded in getting Netscape 3.01 to stay

fine if I disable java and java script, but if I want
to use something that needs java it gets a bus error
and goes away every time.
I'm running it on a 486/50 with 16 meg ram on Slackware96

Nothing else in XWindows locks up or quits including emacs
so I tend to think it's Netscape/Java/X specific type problem.
Any tips appreciated.

I'm new to Linux Networking, so please bear with me.
I am having a problem setting up NIS on Linux. I have a small test
network where node0 is the server and all other nodes are clients.
I have installed and configured (to the best of my knowledge) the ypserv
on node0, and started the service. On the client(s), I have installed,
and tried to configure it, but when I try to start the ypbind service, I
get an "Unknown host: node0" error message. I have checked /etc/hosts,
and there is an entry for node0, and I can ping and telnet to "node0".
I have also set hosts.allow with ALL:ALL, and have hosts.deny empty on
all hosts and clients. Still getting the unknown host error message.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks for your help,
Tim Stumpf
