Whining:
I have been desperatelly trying to get my computer on the LAN using Linux.
For the past three weeks I have been forced to dual boot ito Win98
and I am beginning to run out of space on my laptop. Soon one
OS will have to go...Please take pity on me.
Here is the story:
I am using an Ams tech TravlPro 106CT laptop.
I have a xircom CEM33 pcmcia network/modem card.
All I want to do is to be able to get on LAN
and get to the internet and the local (windows) machines.
I am running a freshly installed Redhat 6.0 Linux.
I have gone through the networking and PCMCIA howto
and nothing seems to help.
Symptoms:
According to 'cardctl ident' my PCMCIA card was recognised.
Accord to 'ifconfig' I have some sensible looking IP address
which I assume was assigned to me by DHCP (I do know they use a DHCP
server here). When I try to ping a local machine I just get a network
unreachable error.
Questions/Concerns:
I am not sure which 'kernel mode?' I should specify in netconf
for this card, There is nothing that looks anything like
xircom or pcmcia. Should I leave it blank?
Does the fact that I need to logon to an NT Domain (that is what I have to
do with Windows 98 at least). Have anything to do with my problem?
Can yu help me?
Conclusion:
Please, please, please help! I would hate to delete Linux off my HD and
be forced to use Win98 for the rest of the summer. Besides I would
feel like a hypocrate, after all the linux adocating I've been doing.

yes, I do this all the time at a client site.
the printer must be shared on the win95 box, using normal windows networking
methods. Then you can set up printing using SAMBA. try the linux.samba
newsgroup or even the samba pages. Samba has (used to have) some bsd and sysv
scripts included for printing this way.

no it doesn't. call_me was invoked with i set to 10. thus this
template should bottom out after 10 recurses. 10 being less than 12
and all that.

I could point out the spelling error, but if I did, then you'd point out
mine... For the most part, I have to agree with you. The courts have
systematicly taken our educational system apart, in the name of
seperating religious freedom from education, and in making sure all
students have equal opportunities, in my opinion equal to the lowest
common denominator. Far more money is wasted on the lower IQ child than
on the higher IQ one. Anything that attempts to be better is screamed
about in court, usually successfully, because 'their' kid can't cut it.
There is something seriously *wrong* with that picture.
Sorry, you pulled my trigger, I was a victim of such attitudes, unspoken
but prevalent, even 50+ years ago.

Hi Mihai,
I don't have a suggestion but I have the exact same problem so if you happen
to stumble across a solution, I'd really appreciate your posting it here or
emailing it to me. I'd posted my problem here also but despite a few
valiant efforts the end result is that this IP aliasing problem still
persists unabated. Btw, if you're interested, my thread was titled IP Alias
timeout (you might see a similar behaviour: try to use netcfg to hose all
the aliases and the primary interface; add it back in; reboot or do
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart (although reboot seems to work better) and
you should be able to ping it from an outside network for a while; for me,
it timed out after about 20-40 minutes). Anyway, I hope you have better
luck than me.
Best of luck,
Rick.
P.s., I was also using RH 6.0 and I upgraded linuxconf, nettools, and the
kernel (to 2.2.10) but none of this seems to help.

We have this kind of thing happen here at work. There must be a way to
handle this. They handle it now by restarting the software, but that
involves a temporary loss of service. The software is doing something to
handle the condition, but I don't know what it's doing.

RTFM indeed! I keep seeing references to this mysterious
Multiple-Ethernet HOWTO, yet I cannot locate it on any server. Has it
been rolled up into another HOWTO? Net-3 perhaps?
My personal experience was that the only way I could get it to work
under RH 6.0 was to install with my ISA card only, then add the PCI
NIC later, and add it manually using linuxconf.

I am having some problems getting rsh to work in RH5.2. I need to be able to login to

be done with rsh, but I can't seem to get it configured. rsh currently works on these

I am stuck! Is there something else I need to do? Maybe I am editing these files
incorrectly. Any help would be appreciated.

Subject: network problems -- smc 1211tx, 3com, netgear hubs -- SLOW!
Date: Tue, 06 Jul 1999 16:27:18 GMT
Hi all. I have some problems with network speed on a small cluster.
I have a total of 11 machines. The first 7 all use 3com NICs and are
connected
on a Netgear FE108 hub. The other 4 all use SMC 1211TX NICs and are
connected on a second netgear FE108 hub. The hubs are connected via the
first hubs uplink
port.
Any network op involving the SMC cards is very, very slow. They get a
few bytes/second ftp transfers. Anything between the 3com cards is
fairly quick -- netperf reports 6.34x10^6bits/sec throughput. I haven't
been able to t-fer netperf over to the other boxes because htey are so
slow on the network.
The smc interfaces have about 600 collisions since they've been up this
morning
(it's an internal network, low use). The 3coms have very few collisions
(the "head" node (which also has a token ring card) has 32000 collisions
on the ethernet interface (750435 RX'd packets)... I don't knwo if these
collision numbers are abnormal.
When transferring files with the SMC cards the hubs traffic light blinks
for each, and I don't see the colliision light blink very much. It's
just very slow.
Investigating some this morning I decided to make sure the cards weren't
trying
to run in full duplex mode, since they're on a 100mbps hub. I can't
figure out how to tell how they are running -- the driver has an option
to force full duplex but no way to tell it to use half (it should, I
guess, be auto-negotiating).
Can anyone offer any insight? Thanks!

Date: 6 Jul 1999 16:56:53 GMT
I assume that you are running Bind 8, since nearly all older (Bind 4.x)
systems
don't do this cache cleaning. According to my DNS & Bind book, the thing
you need in your /etc/named.conf file is
options {
cleaning-inteval 180;
};
The units on this option are minutes; thus, the example would set the
interval to 3 hours. Adjust to your heart's content. (NB: you have to
restart named to get the change to take effect).

Subject: time sync. through a switch
Date: Tue, 06 Jul 1999 12:35:28 -0400
Hello. I've been having a difficult time syncronizing
a switched beowulf network of alpha's running redhat Linux 5.2.
The network is local, except for the master node which is the
gateway to the rest of our network.
I've been able to set the master node time to a timeserver
using "rdate -s timeserver". I'd now like to use the master
node as a timeserver for the other (local, switched network).
The binary "rdate" exists on all the nodes and is in the path
of root. However, when I try "rdate master_node" I get the error
message "rdate: No such file or directory". I don't know what
file the binary is looking for. Does "timed" need to be run
on the master/work nodes (it is not now)?
I've also tried xntpd without much success. I run
xntpd on the master node with an ntp.conf file that has the lines
driftfile /etc/ntp/drift
#multicastclient # listen on default 224.0.1.1
#broadcastdelay 0.008
and on the work nodes the ntp.conf file also has the line
server 10.0.0.10 # local clock
I don't get any errors in the any of the log files which register

Subject: 2nd 3c509 card has hw config errors
Date: Tue, 6 Jul 1999 11:20:34 -0600
I'm having a devil of a time trying to get my 2nd NIC working properly.
Both cards are 3c509. I used 3Coms's DOS utility to change the IRQ and
address of the 2nd NIC to be different than the first one. At this point
I'm quite confident that my ifconfig addresses & route commands are
returning accurate results. But things aren't working, and here are the
symptoms:
1. Green light on eth1 card not lit, nor is light lit on the eth card of
W95 machine connected to eth1 on my private network.
2. As Ethernet HOWTO 1.3 notes, I found that cat /proc/net/dev shows a
non-zero carrier count AND cat /proc/interrupts shows a zero interrupt for
eth1. The Howto suggests either of these two things are indicative of a
hardware config error, but I couldn't find any appropriate remedies in the
rest of the document.
3. Boot message detects eth1 at interrupt and address I'm expecting.
Ifconfig shows eth1 to be up with the ip addresses, netmask, and broadcast I
expect (ip=192.168.0.1, netmask = 255.255.255.0, broadcast = 192.168.0.255)
4. Can't ping the W95 box from linux box. W95 setup as 192.168.0.4;
gateway is 192.168.0.1
5. route shows an entry for: 192.168.0.0 with mask 255.255.255.0 going
thru eth1.
All ideas appreciated. tia

Seems to me that I read that sometime about 2.2.x, a new function was
added to ifconfig that automagically inserted a route into the routing
table when you start an interface. If your (old) scripts also put in these
routes, you would get exactly what you report. Check it out.

Two questions
1. I have a script called rc.firewall that takes care of my ip
masquerading. I put it in the rc.d directory and chmod 700 'ed it.
Isn't that supposed to start up with the system boot now? It didnt. So
i tried to run it ( logged in as root ) and it wouldnt. So i copied it
a /usr/sbin/ppp-fire and ran ppp-fire. It worked. I want it to start
up with the computer though. How do i do this?
2. Where might I find a good document to read on Linux secruity and how
to keep people from looking at my network. Here's the setup, 6 PCs
connected to a hub along with a linux box that connects to the internet
via PPP. The PCs are configured with the Linux box as their gateway.
Internet runs on the LAN. How do i prevent people from entering my
network via the Internet?
Thanx in advance!!

Subject: Help! D-link card
Date: Tue, 06 Jul 1999 23:09:01 +0800
Hi there,
I have a D-Link DE-220P and I just cannot get it to work with Linux. I'm
rather new at the linux thing, but I've tried to find out something on
the net, but no luck so far. I'm using RedHat 5.2 and it cannot find the
card at installation time (I tried NE2000 compatible) and then I've
tried to further detect it to no avail. Anyone any suggestions or
experienced this problem? I'd be most grateful for any advice.
Regards,
Jeff Bannister.

This is covered very nicely in
$ man 5 ftpaccess
Rather than repeating what it says there, I commend it to you.

Subject: proxy server configuration
Date: Tue, 06 Jul 1999 09:16:30 -0500
I am running SuSE3.5 . I have a fast ethernet card connecting this
Linux box to an NT 4.0 server with a 56k modem which dials on demand.
The NT machine uses a product called Proxy+ to allow dial up access from
the other machines. The Linux machine is able to access HTTP and FTP
through Netscape only, as Netscape has a proxy setup page; any services
on the Linux box not done through Netscape are unable to access anything
but the local network.
What files need to be configured in order to use the proxy services on
the NT box for FTP, Lynx, Pine, etc...?
