Date: Fri, 2 Jul 1999 23:16:44 -0500
I have a 3 machine network that I have setup to clone my development
environment at work. I have a Linux box, an NT box, and a 98 box. I would
like to configure my Linux box to accept incoming calls and to authenticate
that user onto my network. I'm sure after which I will be able to setup
anything after that point. I found only vague documentation regarding this
setup, and it's probably because I'm not familiar with the terminology.
Could someone please just give me a general idea of this process, and maybe
point me in the direction to some update documentation? I would greatly
appreciate it.

Thanks Jim! The new driver and the *proper* i/o address did the trick. I
have a network, the Linux box is connnected to the AppleTalk network.
Now if I can get it to start up with the new driver. I put the new
driver in the /lib/modules/2.0.36-0.7/net dir, used kerneld to load, but
every time I restart I have to 'insmod tulip.o', stop the network
services and restart them. Does this mean that I must re-compile the
kernel, or have I missed some config file that would load the module?
Also is there any way to mount the Linux machine from AppleTalk as root?
Fooling with the users setup doesn't seem to make any difference to
through the AppleTalk connnection, I still don't have write permission.

I just got some D-Link 528 cards and I am having some installation
problems. I enabled support for NE2000 cards in the kernel and
recompiled, and it still won't recognize the card. Although ne2k-pci
works fine to detect it.
Has anyone installed these cards that could help?
Thanks

After 1 week of spare time I have Redhat 6 Server running and can ping
it from NT workstation.
I thought to replace current 1.8 gig win95 file server that runs Netbui,
TCP/ip, and MacLan
with Linux using TCP/ip protocol
On the original server I have a partition set up as Data and then a
subdirectory of a to z with customer files in directorys by their name
I assumed Linux would be good as a file server but only seem to see
info on WEB serving. If I am right can someone explain what I should do
to be able to see and copy to the Linux Server and into what partition
to copy the contents of my other file server.

I do not know what machine 141.48.3.134 is. You need two things. You
need a route to the next machine on the ppp0 and a default route to taht
machine.
Thus if 141.48.3.134 is your ISP host, than you need both
route add -host 141.48.3.134 ppp0
and
route add default gw 141.48.3.134 ppp0
Mind you if you have
defaultroute
in /etc/ppp/options, this should be set up automatically.
(as long as there is not some other defaultroute set up already)

Subject: IP Aliasing - need help real bad

I'm desperate with this problem and if anyone can help I'll really
appreciate it.
I've just installed Mandrake 6.0 (redhat 6.0), and ran 'linuxconf' to
set up my ip aliases but found after activating them that there's no
response to ping. I've done this many time on Redhat 5.2 and I
followed the same procedure and it did create the correct
configuration files.
I ran "/sbin/ifconfig eth0:0 up" and got this response:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address
I then ran 'ifup eth0:0' and got this:
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device
205.210.156.248: unknown interface: No such device
SIOCADDRT: No such device
the config file (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0)
contains this:
IPADDR="205.210.156.248"
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
which seems normal to me.
Can anyone help? About 40 businesses are off-line because of this
and I have to get them going soon.
Thanks.
Bob

The ppp how-to may not even be necessary. Many graphical tools are
available that make it just as easy as setting up the ppp conection in
win 9x. You will porbably want to read the NET-3 HOWTO, the Ethernet
HOWTO, and the IP Masquerading HOWTO. You may end up compiling a new
kernel, in which case you will want to read the Kernel HOWTO. This
should get you going. If your still stuck, you can always post here.

Subject: @Home with static ip
Date: Sat, 03 Jul 1999 07:09:06 GMT
I just got a cable modem from @Home in San Leandro CA. To my surprise,
they actually gave me a choice between DHCP and a static IP. I chose
the static IP.
I got Windows working with this cable modem. Now I need to move it to
my Linux box. I can't seem to get it working though. I configured
the ethernet card with
% ifconfig eth0 my.new.ip.addr netmask 255.255.255.0 up
% route add -host my.gateway.ip.addr eth0
% route add default gw my.gateway.ip.addr metric 1
I also changed the hostname to the computer name that @Home assigned
me. Apparently that's how they authenticate the connection. :P
It doesn't work though. If I try to ping the gateway:
% ping my.gateway.ip.addr
...no packets come back. What should I check to make sure that this is
set up correctly?

Dynamically-typed languages do little to help you do rigorous
engineering. People who don't care for rigor like them. Others
like them for other reasons, but people who can't be bothered with
rigor will always outnumber the careful.
This is not to say any use of a dynamically-typed language implies
sloppiness. It's just a lot more work to ensure integrity, enough
so to tempt one to cut corners.
The canonical example is the message that pops up on the screen in an
airplane cockpit: "Method not implemented".

In your case, U can compile Apache from tar source.
With configure you can tell "--prefix=/usr/local/apache" for example.
And U have all under this dir !

It could be that you have shadow passwords enables (does /etc/shadow
exist?). I don't believe Qpopper supports shadow passwords, or if it does
you have to set some compile-time options.

Have you configured your kernel to support IP aliasing? I don't believe it
is enabled by default.

No you are absolutely correct. I always avoid installing things like that
via RPM packages. For some reason, the authors always seem to want to spread
an application's files all over the place. I on the other hand prefer as
self-contained a package as possible.
My advice to you would be to go to http://apache.org/ and download the
source for Apache. It is quite easy to compile and install, and by default
everything is self-contained in /usr/local/apache/, just as it should. :)

Hi Guys,
I think the next poster is correct; it probably is something to do with
shadow passwords. My solution was to get a great little package called
ids-pop3d from freshmeat
(http://www.freshmeat.net/appindex/1999/03/26/922468168.html). Give it a
try... it works like a charm for me (also does APOP :).
Good luck,
Rick.
