Since I think tip is just a serial connection, what you want is 'cu' -
by console port, I assume you mean serial port, which is with cua# or

Subject: modem can't dail out---NO DAIL TUNE
Date: 5 Jul 1999 14:30:49 GMT
i am a newbie of RH, i installed RH6.0 in my machine, i am sure that i
configurated all the scripts well. And when i want to start dail out to my
ISP, the modem seems working well and starts it dailing tune, but when the
modem wants to dail the phone numbers, it hangs up! it happens in all the
program like minicom, xisp and kppp! I fixed this program in Win98 by not
choosen the option "wait dail tune before dailing" in the modem
configuration but i don't know how to config it in RH. The log file is just
says that NO DAIL TUNE! would any one can help me? thx!

Adding a samba server (Samba2, Linux 2.2.5) to
an existing (native) NT domain is exactly the
thing a want to do. The very question is
whether I have to define user accounts on
the Linux box though the authentication method
is set to "domain"? Is there a way to NOT define
users on the Linux machine? It wouldn't be so
nice if not. The information about all user
accounts is stored on the PDC and native NT
machines are able to check out user names without
a local account.

I doubt it, but have not run any tests. But it is not worth the hassle
of disabling them and perhaps running into trouble with ISPs who demand
them.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I am using RedHat 6, and I have not been able to print to my HP printer
(conneected to a Windows box) since "upgrading" it from Win95 to 98. I have
been able to print from another Win98 PC on my LAN, so I think the 98 print
server machine is configured correctly. My question is, how do I correctly
configure printtool to allow me to print? I thought I understood this,
having gotten it to work fine with Win95. I installed the Samba Win98
plaintext password registry hack to no avail. None of my print jobs ever
show up in the queue of the 98 PC. It seems that something has changed, but
I don't know what. Oh, the network between the Linux and 98 PCs works fine
(ping, http, etc). Is there a HOWTO that explains how to configure remote
printing from Linux (RedHat) to Win98? Thx
BTW, I have Samba 2.0.4 installed. What do I need to configure in smb.conf
for remote printing to work?

My bios can set latency from the same screen you set slot IRQs. I'm
wondering why my older NE2KPCI card doesn't complain but the 530 does.
If I decide to raise the latency what are the tradeoffs? How high is
high enough? The card is sharing an interrupt.

I'm interested to know why you don't start network IP's with
192.168.0.x. Most of the TCP/IP documentation I've read (all relating
to Windows only networks) suggest those as the best to use including
MS's own documentation.

I really need help on this, please pitch in your answer, millions thanks.
I set up a Linux box (Redhat 5.2) with 'everything' option with the
intention of making an intranet. I have several PCs (Windows) connected to
this Linux box. Apache is running fine, I got the 'It worked' page when I
type in linuxhost.domain in the browser. I now try to connect to the net
using PPP on this Linux box, I could connect to my ISP but when I type in
any web address, the browser just trying to look for it, no tranmission.
Then when I ping my ISP nameserver, I have 100% loss. However, if I don't
install the NIC, DNS, meaning just a stand alone Linux box, I can connect to
the net and everything is fine. My current settings are
Linux box: static IP 192.168.200.1
DNS (the same IP)
Please tell me what's wrong and any suggestions, materials, books

I am using RH 6.0 + Mediaone modem. You can try following steps to make things
working:
1. If you have Windows access to the Mediaone service as well, you run"winipcfg"
program. Start> Run> type "winipcfg"> click OK
2. after run winipcfg, you will get a winipcfg window. Select your ethernet card
adapter menu > Click "more info" > you get a larger window > you can find all the

"your_email_name.we.mediaone.net" > Accept
4. still in same place click Adaptor 1 > select "Dhcp" >type
"your_email_name.we.mediaone.net" in Primary name+domain
5. fill in netmask with the IP address you got earlier.
6. Net device and Kernel module should fill in already by system with"eth0" and
"Your_NIC" >
7. open "Name Server specification > default domain = DNS server IP address > name

After finish above set up, in your shell prompt type "ping xx.xx.xx.xx(your DNS IP
address" to test the connection.
Hope things will work for you

You can find out wether the gateway responds or not with
tcpdump -n -i eth0 | grep 130.149.35.82
Doing so I found out that the gateway actually responds to the ping, but a tcpdump on
the other interface only showed the ping requests.
A friend of mine told me that I shouldn�t forget the command
arp -i eth0 -s 130.149.35.82 00:..:..:..:..:.. pub
on box A. I�ve entered it, and arp says it�s there. But that doesn�t help. Maybe it
helps you.

You can try the pppd noipdefault option. But if the ISP is running out
of IP addresses, which is what appears to be happening, then it may not
do any good - the PPP link negotiation will likely just fail rather than
the ISP being able to accept an IP address from you that is useless. Some
ISP PPP implementations may be broken enough to accept 0.0.0.0 as an
address though. (Requesting 0.0.0.0 for an IP address is the standard way
of asking the PPP peer to supply your IP address for the PPP interface
when you have none.)

I just changed ISPs and I'm having a strange
problem getting my laptop to connect to it under
linux. Symptoms...
1) Previous ISP worked fine under both linux &
Win95
2) New ISP works fine under Win95
3) Under linux new ISP answers, connection is made
at reasonable speed (24-28.8kbps) in V.42bis mode,
then about two seconds later modem gives a "NO
CARRIER" message and hangs up.
4) I can extend the time before the NO CARRIER
message by setting S10 (automatic disconnect
delay) higher
5) During the (brief) connection, there is no
response to anything I send
6) I have checked Win95 log & tried exactly the
same modem configuration, and many variations to
no avail.
Hardware is Toshiba Tecra 500 CDT laptop with
internal 28.8 kbps modem.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Of all
the things I am occasionally forced to do under
Windows, going online is about the most painful!

(Mandrake 5.3)
Date: Mon, 05 Jul 1999 15:09:14 GMT
Well I've given given up on Mandrake 6.0. It's a wonderful
product, but a little to buggy for me. I had problems with
umount, kppp/pppd and the desktop properties.
Mandrake came up with the solution for umount: Yay
Even after Mandrake's updates, kppp/pppd still didn't work
with CHAP: Boo.
I eventually resorted to using pppd 2.3.25 from the Mandrake
5.3 release: Yay.
I had this annoying issue with the wallpaper automatically
changing on me. Same issue when I selected the "Apply" button
under the "Desktop Properties" panel. Was in the process
of downloading the update for kdebase when the "killer bug"
popped up in my face.
By "killer" I mean, a bug I wasn't prepared to live with. My
ppp link was about 1/3 of the speed of the link I had with
Mandrake 5.3. Instead of downloading 10 Mbyte/hour, I was lucky
to get 3 Mbyte/hour on a 33.6 Modem. I tried changing IRQ, COM, etc.
with no luck. I don't think it ever was a IRQ problem. The
only card that may have conflicted with my PnP modem was my
ACER AWE 35/Pro sound card. Comparing the isapnp.conf between
5.3 and 6.0 installations the setting were identical, accept for
a few differences in syntax.
So back to old trusty Mandrake 5.3. Maybe Mandrake 6.1 will
be better behaved.
BTW: How is it that "Cooker" (6.1) is coming out when Redhat is
still firmly fixed on 6.0.
