This could happen, if the file were located on an
NFS device. However, this is not the case, it's local.

I found the problem. The automatic firewall rules that Debian provides
doesn't seem to be configured to work with my setup on 2.2 even though
it uses ip-chains for 2.2.

Get in the linux developers newsgroups and on their mailing lists.
Also some of the HOWTO's are written (it seems) for the very advanced.
Take a look at samba-confHOWTO sometime or even the NET-3 and its
references. In fact those references at the end of the HOWTO's are
the place to look.

Guess I wasn't very clear. I have a linux box running oracle at home, that
I access from my Windows 98 machine, also at home, through a telnet session
over ethernet. My employer is asking us to install RAS on our home PC's so
we can dial into work to do support. I am leery of doing this because of
the grief I went through getting my own network setup. In reading the
instructions, it sounds like I have to setup RAS much like I did my home
network. I am just wondering if the two will play nicely together.

I am running a Red Hat file/print server using Samba and Win98 workstations.
When I first try to print, it takes nearly a minute to get the print menu.
Evidently something is starting up, as the next time I go to print it is
near instantaneous. If I wait a while, the print service evidently shuts
down. How do I tell what is running, and how do I keep it running, at least
whenever someone is logged in?

When Attila came into the picture, Rome was far from unchallengeable.

Check out the DHCP documentation. There are a number of criteria you
can use to assign an IP address to the requester. I think the ethernet
address where the request originates from is one of them.

It's hard to be sure without pppd debug messages but I think your company
has likely upgraded it's PPP implementation to broken. Try using the
pppd option "asyncmap a0000" to match what the peer asked for itself -
a broken ACCM algorithm is common. The fcs errors should go away if
this guess is correct. Try "asyncmap 0" if "asyncmap a0000" fails.
: also, i'm not sure why i'm not seeing the 'sent' 'rcvd' messages from

There should be pppd debug messages, here they are in /var/log/debug,
but the location varies with distribution. The log files are configured
in /etc/syslog.conf; if none of the files you see there contain the pppd
debug messages, then try adding, say,
daemon.* /var/log/ppp-log
to syslog.conf .
If you need to post log messages again then please consider getting rid
of the pppd option "kdebug <something>" that is causing the fcs errors to
be reported. These messages are rarely useful and make reading the log
more difficult.

I can't see the beginning of this thread on the news server I'm using, so at
the risk of repeating something said earlier on, there's always BIND 8.x. It
supports all of the nifty parts of DDNS and is free; heck, it's probably on the
media that came with your distribution.
BIND is not the easiest thing in the world to get running if you've never
dealt with a DNS before but it's not malicious, merely obscure.
Most of the Internet runs on BIND, so 10K addresses wouldn't be any problem.
There is reasonably good documentation with it, but the recognized wellspring
on knowledge is still 'DNS and BIND' by Albitz and Liu. (O'Reilly)

I forget which ports, but PC Anywhere uses multiple ports simultaniously, and
it might even mix TCP and UDP. To determine that, just get a connection going
inside your firewall and run netstat on the machines. Assuming there are no
connectionless communications going, this should reveal all.
You might want to look at VNC also. This free package lets you remotely access
a system in a similar manner to PC Anywhere, and uses only 1 socket. (Well, 2,
because it allows a java capable browser to connect on one port, or the normal
client on another, but only 1 would need to be port forwarded.) The main
differences between this free package and PC Anywhere are that PC Anywhere has
better authentication (multiple user/passwords, VNC has only a single
password), and PCA has additional functions like file transfer.

The kernels 2.2.x, x<8, may have had problems of this kind. There was a
significant revision of the kernel PPP support code, ppp.c, in 2.2.8 .
I also know of at least one poster that had this kind of problem with

Sean;
Linux support of Token Ring is limited to the IBM 'Tropic' chipset which was
also used by other manufacturers. In general, all ISA cards and all
(gasp!) MicroChannel cards (with the exception of the 'Streamer' models) will
work. The PCI ones use a different chipset and won't work with the TR support in
Linux.
From a PCMCIA perspective it gets a little trickier. I know that the 'Turbo'
cards won't work, but I believe the older 16/4 ones should.
I have Red Hat (5.2 and 6.0) running on several machines with the old ISA cards
without having lost any great volumes of hair getting them working.
Hope that helps...

yes and no
if you add the second cable modem the total bandwidth will double (at least
in theory, I'm not sure how well this theory works for cable modems since
they use shared bandwith)
BUT your connection speeds will NOT double, they'll remain the same. You
will be able to take advantage of increased bandwidth only if you open
multiple connections at the same time.

First, there are at least two major versions of the Linksys LNE100TX. One
uses the "genuine" DEC Tulip (21140, I believe) chipset. This board works
fine with the older 0.89H driver that comes with kernels through 2.2.9 (at
least; I've not checked later kernels). The second variety uses a PNIC
clone of the DEC Tulip. This version may not work with that driver (my
card certainly doesn't).
Second, I've heard that PNIC-based Tulip clone boards do sometimes work
with the older Tulip drivers *IF* their firmware is of a certain
revision. I don't know the details on this, but I've heard that some
people had problems with such boards with some firmware revisions but not
others. It's possible that the Linksys is like this, but I've never
looked into it -- using a newer Linux driver is easy enough for me.

it might have to do with modem compression.
all modems can compress data for faster transfer. Compression might have
been turned off. Most people never bother with it since most files you
transfer are zipped already and don't compress at all. What kind of file was
it that you downloaded?
P.S. Linux does kick as, but it can't magically make your modem work faster
then its maximum bandwidth.

Subject: dhcpcd and ADSL
Date: Sun, 11 Jul 1999 15:25:36 GMT
Anyone got Caldera 2.2 (kernel 2.2.5) working with ADSL?
It seems that the dhcp client (ver 1.3.17) is unable to get the IP
address (I have
though both Rx and Tx packets!). Moreover, it's shutting down the eth0
card (3Com509, correctly installed).
>From what I read in other NGs, it seems that I'm missing some files (I
wander why they were not created when I first choose the option DHCP?!).
Pls help, someone!

Thanks for the response.
The alias string is set properly, without io arguments. I haven't tried
irq - will try tonight. Drivers were compiled as modules.

Subject: HELP: linux and dhcpcd in a NT network
Date: Sun, 11 Jul 1999 15:55:04 GMT
Hi all,
I've been reading a lot about dhcpcd and linux but
so far I was unable to setup my linux box
correctly in an NT network. I'm running Slack4.0
and the ethernet card is well configured.
dhcpcd is version 1.3.17.
dhcpcd seems to work fine, since I get an IP
from the server, as well as a DNS, net mask, etc.
But I still can't telnet from other Win98 machines
in the same network into my linux box, nor can I
telnet into other unix machiines outside this
network. In the dhcpcd-eth0.info the variables
HOSTNAME and NETWORK are not set.
Surprisingly, I can ftp to the NT server, but not
beyond that.
Any help would be appreciated
Sincerely yours
Antonio Santos
