Correct. However, it is a Java app, packaged in a Windows executable. There
should be no problem running it on Linux, once it has been ripped out of its
Windows outer shell. Someone should start an email campaign to get these
guys to release a Linux version... Can you imagine- a $200 box, running
Linux, with FREE net access? I think that could capture a large segment of
the market, the one that is still not online.

Acutally, if you have a nic card, that should be your gateway, shouldn't
have to change anything else.

You didn't really want to go there...less than 5% of the US population
are farmers. Out of a population of roughly 270 million, 5% works out
to just under 14 million. India and China must have several times that
number.

Subject: Network Timeout Problem
Date: Wed, 7 Jul 1999 16:41:43 -0700
Hello,
This is kinda strange but I was wondering if anyone has seen a problem like
this: after about 1 hour or so my network connection seems to timeout.
That is, my box is no longer pingable from the outside and all services
(web, email, etc.) become unavailable. BUT, if I ping something FROM my
box, then everything seems to come online again. Yet another screwy
networking glitch in RH 6.0? Btw, I've upgraded my kernel to 2.2.10 and
added the new net-tools and linuxconf, too.
Thanks in advance,
Rick.

Problem networking two computers WD8013 io=280,irq=7,ram=0xB0000
I have two machines running RH Linux 5.2. I am trying
to network them without a hub. So I have basically
a coaxial cable connecting the two network cards.
I cannot get these cards to talk using Linux. I have
put major time into with no luck.
Can someone please help me?
All I want to do right now is ping the other machine.
The ping transmits but never gets a response.
Do I need to worry about NIS or NFS just to ping
between two machines?

Western Digital cards talk ok (used diagnose.exe program).

Hi, I am going to setup a very small server on my home computer to handle
small networking solutions, for the internet. I want a linux OS because,
firstly it's free, and secondly it won't eat up the small amount of
resources I have like NT will. Problem is, there are too many! Can anyone
give me any idea which one would be the best for this type of situation. I

Thanks (once again) Paul,
I had posted this same question a month or so ago, you were kind enough to
offer the same advice.
During the last month I have d/l advanced-routing and iproute2 and tried
without success to understand it.
The user notes do not particularly help with respect to static NAT.
Can you offer any examples?
Thanks for your reply

Subject: How Do I Set up a Two-Computer Network?
Date: Wed, 07 Jul 1999 23:39:22 GMT
I have two machines I wish to network together. The connection is
a cross-over RJ-45 cable. Machine A will be running Linux and Machine
B will be running Windows 98.
Configuration for Machine A:
I.P. Address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Host name: 192-168-0-1
Domain name: .192-168-0-1
Configuration for Machine B:
I.P. Address: 192.168.0.3
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Host name: 192-168-0-3
Domain name: .192-168-0-1
The biggest obstacle I have right now is pinging either machine. With
both Machine A and B running Windows 98, I can ping them both. If
Machine A runs Linux and Machine B runs Windows 98, I just cannot
get a ping response from either one of them. I tried typing at the
Linux machine the following command line:
route add -host 192.168.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.0
in order to add Machine B to the Linux routing table, but it complains
that the netmask is wrong for the I.P. address.
Will someone please direct or suggest some extremely dummy-proof way
of getting my machines to recognize each other? I have read the
Net3-HowTo, the Ethernet-HowTo, and DNS-HowTo, but it is very
confusing.
Thank you.

My reading of pppd 2.3.7 docs indicates that if you want to use
'demand', you have to specify fixed IP addresses. What if you need
dynamic addressing? That's my case.

I think I was always taught that WWI was 1914-1918, even though we didn't
enter the war until 1917. And likewise, WWII started in 1939, though many
history books separated chapters at the Dec 1941 dividing line as life in
the US changed dramatically afterwards.

Well, if you can't hit port 25 then Linux must be constipated.
On my Linux installs the POP3 and SMTP programs worked right out of the box
once I made the required entries in the /etc/hosts file.
When you type; ps x on the command line do you see a line indicating
that sendmail is 'accepting connections on port 25 ?'
