See /etc/route.conf. On startup the routing table is setted based this
file by /sbin/init.d/route. However you should read something about how
IP does work else you will be lost even knowing the file.
Hints should be found within the NET-3-HowTo, e.g.
http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/NET-3-HOWTO.html. NET-4-HowTo which
would fit better to the Linux 2.2 kernels seems yet not to exist.

MGCP is a protocol used for controlling Voice over IP (VoIP) Gateways
from external call control elements. MGCP is the emerging protocol that
is receiving wide interest from both the voice and data industries. RTP
is a protocol used to carry streaming real-time multi-media data over IP
Networks.

Hello,
Right, I can dial up my ISP, connect, view web pages, send mail (at

Also, everything about diald that I've read is just so complicated...

Hi all,
I have just set up Linux and can ping my ISPs gatway but not the DNS server
which has the IP number 212.19.64.3. Also, nothing on the Internet outside
the 212.19.67.x group which is the local group of users for my ISP (we have
fixed IP numbers) can ping me. I can ping the box from the other machine on
the LAN which links via eth1.

Subject: Using two LNE100TX NICs, adapter module fails?
Date: Sun, 04 Jul 1999 21:05:39 GMT
I've used Linksys LNE100TX NICs for ages, and now that I'm starting to use
Linux, I'm having trouble getting my machine with two of these cards to
start its ethN modules. The cards don't have any IRQ conflicts, they work in
other OS', and this is a BX6r2 motherboard. The Linux distro is RH6, no
patches yet. One NIC is a static IP on my LAN, the other is for a pure DHCP
cablemodem (but I still plug in the static IP leased every morning with NT4,
at least until I get these cards working under linux).
Is it still a problem to use two identical NICs in the same machine? I saw
mention once that it was, but that was a while ago, with older kernels.

check /etc/pcmcia/config.opts, and comment out the "exclude irq" lines
for irq's that you don't need (like parallel port; irq7). Check
your manual for what pieces of hardware (sound card, video,
ps/2, etc) use what interrupts. See also /proc/interrupts, but note
that this file only lists the irq's that are in use. Thus, if you don't
have a serial port active, irq 3 and 4 are not going to show up.
Sometimes you have to explicitly say "include irq N" for an irq that you
KNOW is not in use.

My cable company has changed from dhcp to a static address.
The installer gave me a host name, an IP address, and server addresses,
with which I set up my interface and resolv.conf. Everything works
except that nslookup with the domain I was assigned returns *another*
IP address; on the other hand, nslookup with my IP address returns
the assigned host name. I'm guessing the cable company has messed up;
am I right? Is there anything I can do except complain?

Even the dumbest of the dumb terminals have a CPU. You have two options: use
dumb terminals connected to the Linux box - not very practical in a business
environment for a number of reasons; use personal computers configured as
low-end workstations (minimum hard disk capacity, no diskette drive, network
card, sufficient RAM based on your particular requirements) - much better
solution for a business environment. You don't even need to install more than
the equivalent of PocketLinux on each workstation either on hard disk or floppy
depending upon your workstation configuration.
Good luck!

Wait 1 or 2 days... let the name server update their database.
Else, yes your cable company has messed up :-)

If the DHCP is providing configuration to a Win98 machine it should work

You still won't be able to login to the Netware server unless you have
NW5 using IP, and a Netware client on your Linux.

First, some clarification... If you are stating that it takes 1 hour to backup
10 GB of data when the DLT drive is directly connected to the SCSI interface of
the workstation/server and takes 3 hours to backup 10 GB of data on a remote, ie.
the tape drive is not directly connected, workstation/server, then you most
probably cannot speed-up the remote backup. The SCSI interface operates at a
significantly higher speed than the network interface; for example, 100MBps
versus 100Mbps (MBps = megabytes per second, Mbps = megabits per second, 1 byte =
8 bits). Hopefully this will clear up any confusion you may be experiencing
regarding the speed difference.

Subject: DNS problem
Date: Sun, 4 Jul 1999 14:59:47 -0700
Is there a way to keep DNS from causing the modem to dial out. I'm using
demand dialing. DNS keeps the modem up constantly, every time it times out
and disconnects, it causes it to connect again. It even causes it to dial
when I'm using local address to my network. I have each of my machines in
the DNS lookup database so it would not have to connect for those. What
causes this? It also dials whenever I send mail to a local computer too
using sendmail.
Thanks in advance,
Kris Jordan
